In the first nine months of 2024, passenger traffic in Frankfurt grew by $4.9 \%$ compared to the previous-year period to around 46.7 million passengers. This is equivalent to around $86.2 \%$ of the pre-crisis year 2019. The traffic growth was driven in particular by the tourist-oriented destinations in Europe and by intercontinental traffic, with high growth to and from China, India, and the USA.

Cargo traffic in Frankfurt grew by $8.0 \%$ to approximately 1.5 million metric tons. This was primarily due to increased air freight demand as a result of e-commerce and capacity issues in ocean freight due to current geopolitical crises.

In the reporting period, development at the Group airports was inconsistent compared to the previous year. In Lima and Ljubljana in particular, as well as at the tourist-oriented Group sites in Greece and Antalya, more passengers were received than in the previous year. As a result of the floods and the temporary cessation of flight operations at the Porto Alegre site, passenger numbers at Fraport Brasil declined.

Financial Performance

The Group's Results of Operations

Revenue

At $€ 3,393.1$ million, revenue in the Fraport Group in the reporting period was above the previous year's figure by $€ 369.1$ million ( $+12.2 \%$ ). Adjusted for contract revenue from construction and expansion services based on the application of IFRIC 12, revenue increased by $€ 335.7$ million to $€ 2,967.6$ million ( $+12.8 \%$ ). The increase at the Frankfurt site mainly resulted from higher revenue from airport charges ( $€ 89.8$ million), infrastructure charges ( $€ 32.9$ million), and ground services ( $€ 23.8$ million) based on traffic volumes and prices.
Among the international Group airports, contributions to adjusted revenue growth came in particular from Fraport Greece ( $€ 52.9$ million) and the Group company Lima ( $€ 37.4$ million) based on the positive traffic development. In addition, the Group company Fraport USA recorded an increase in revenue ( $€ 51.5$ million) mainly due to the takeover of center management operations at the Dulles and Ronald Reagan Airports in Washington.

Other operating income

Other operating income in the reporting period was impacted in particular by compensation for the negative economic effects of the coronavirus pandemic at the Group company Fraport Greece ( $€ 28.0$ million).
By contrast, other operating income in the previous-year period was impacted by the interim consolidation of FraSec Aviation Security GmbH ( $€ 26.1$ million) and the settlement of a legal dispute at the Group company Fraport USA ( $€ 10.8$ million).

Expenses

Non-staff costs (cost of materials and other operating expenses) increased by $€ 211.0$ million to $€ 1,561.0$ million in the first nine months of 2024. Adjusted for expenses related to the application of IFRIC 12, non-staff costs were $€ 1,135.5$ million ( $€ 177.6$ million). The increase is mainly due to increased variable concession charges and revenue-dependent lease payments at the international Group companies ( $€ 113.0$ million) as well as higher expenses for external services ( $€ 29.2$ million). In the first nine months of 2024, personnel expenses in the Group increased by $€ 74.8$ million to $€ 881.6$ million. The increase is primarily attributable to wage increases and a higher headcount at the Frankfurt site.

EBITDA and EBIT

At $€ 1,050.8$ million, Group EBITDA was $€ 91.3$ million above the level in the same period of the previous year. With higher depreciation and amortization of $€ 385.9$ million ( $+7.6 \%$ ), mainly at the Frankfurt and Lima sites, Group EBIT amounted to $€ 664.9$ million (9M 2023: €601.0 million).

Financial result

The financial result in the reporting period amounted to $-€ 97.1$ million (9M 2023: -€132.0 million). The improvement compared to the same period of the previous year is partly due to a better interest result ( $€ 10.0$ million). Interest income increased by $€ 44.8$ million to $€ 105.1$ million in the first nine months of 2024, primarily due to higher interest from call and time deposits. The interest expenses of $€ 267.4$ million in the reporting period were $€ 34.8$ million above the previous year's figure (9M 2023: €232.6 million). This increase was, in particular, the result of higher financing costs at Fraport AG. The result from companies accounted for using the equity method increased by $€ 15.2$ million, mainly due to the positive results development of the operating company in Antalya ( $€ 17.0$ million).

EBT, Group result, and EPS

The EBT in the reporting period amounted to $€ 567.8$ million (9M 2023: $€ 469.0$ million). With a Group tax rate of $23.6 \%$, expenses from taxes on income amounted to $€ 133.8$ million (9M 2023: $€ 112.0$ million). The Group result was $€ 434.0$ million ( $€ 77.0$ million). This resulted in basic earnings per share of $€ 4.11$ (9M 2023: €3.42).

Results of operations for segments

In the first nine months of 2024, revenue in the Aviation segment increased by $€ 108.6$ million to $€ 929.9$ million. Due to the increased traffic volume and positive price effects, revenue from airport charges increased by $€ 89.8$ million to $€ 698.5$ million. Revenue from aviation security charges also increased, reaching $€ 195.3$ million compared to the previous year (9M 2023: €180.5 million). Personnel expenses were $€ 21.5$ million higher than in the previous year, mainly due to staff number and price effects. Compared to the previous-year period, the cost of materials increased by $€ 14.3$ million to €205.3 million. This was particularly related to increased expenses for external services for the management of aviation security checks. Due to the positive operating performance, the segment's EBITDA amounted to €295.5 million (9M 2023: €247.0 million). With slightly higher depreciation and amortization ( $+€ 9.2$ million), the EBIT stood at $€ 175.9$ million (9M 2023: €136.6 million).

The positive traffic development in the reporting period was also reflected in the Retail \& Real Estate segment's revenue of $€ 391.9$ million ( $+€ 26.2$ million). The revenue growth was mainly due to higher retail and parking revenue ( $+€ 11.9$ million and $+€ 4.8$ million, respectively). Net retail revenue per passenger was $€ 3.13$ (9M 2023: €3.04). Compared to the previous-year period, personnel expenses and the cost of materials increased by $€ 0.7$ million and $€ 5.8$ million, respectively. As a result of increased internal charges for maintenance measures, the segment's EBITDA remained at the previous year's level at $€ 279.7$ million ( $+€ 1.2$ million). With higher depreciation and amortization ( $+€ 5.7$ million), the segment's EBIT declined slightly to $€ 207.0$ million (9M 2023: €211.5 million).

At $€ 559.1$ million, revenue in the Ground Handling segment in the first nine months of 2024 was $€ 57.0$ million higher than in the same period of the previous year. The increase in traffic at Frankfurt Airport as well as price increases led to higher revenue from infrastructure charges ( $€ 32.9$ million) and ground services ( $€ 23.8$ million). Personnel expenses in the segment increased by $€ 28.9$ million. This was mainly due to staff number and price effects at the Group company Fraport Ground Services (formerly FraGround Fraport Ground Handling Professionals). The total cost of materials was €86.0 million ( $€ 6.3$ million). EBITDA rose compared to the same period of the previous year to -€14.8 million (9M 2023: -€23.8 million) but remained in negative territory despite positive price effects. With depreciation and amortization ( $€ 1.1$ million) remaining virtually unchanged, segment EBIT improved to -€44.9 million (9M 2023: -€52.8 million).

In the reporting period, revenue from the International Activities \& Services segment rose by $€ 177.3$ million to $€ 1,512.2$ million. Adjusted for contract revenue from construction and expansion services based on the application of IFRIC 12, revenue amounted to $€ 1,086.7$ million ( $€ 143.9$ million). The increase was due to the positive traffic development at the international Group airports of Fraport Greece ( $€ 52.9$ million adjusted revenue) and Lima ( $€ 37.4$ million adjusted revenue), and to the takeover of center management operations at the Dulles and Ronald Reagan Airports in Washington D.C. As a result of the reduction in the number of passengers due to the flooding of Porto Alegre Airport, adjusted revenue at Fraport Brasil decreased by $€ 16.9$ million.
Other income in the segment increased by $€ 23.7$ million to $€ 45.9$ million (9M 2023: $€ 22.2$ million) mainly due to compensation for the negative economic effects of the coronavirus pandemic at Fraport Greece. In the same period of the previous year, other income was positively impacted for the most part by the settlement of a legal dispute related to the early termination of the concession at the airport in Pittsburgh. Personnel expenses increased mainly due to staff number and price effects to €266.4 million (9M 2023: €242.7 million). Non-staff costs (cost of materials and other operating expenses) in the segment increased by $€ 178.1$ million to $€ 1,073.7$ million compared to the same period the previous year ( $+19.9 \%$ ). Adjusted for the

expenses relating to the application of IFRIC 12, non-staff costs increased to €648.2 million (9M 2023: €503.5 million). This was due in particular to higher variable concession charges, especially at the Group company in Lima and Fraport Greece. Despite the lower contribution to earnings from Fraport Brasil, segment EBITDA increased to €490.4 million (9M 2023: €457.8 million). Segment EBIT amounted to €326.9 million (9M 2023: €305.7 million).

Asset and Capital Structure

At $€ 19,760.7$ million, total assets as at September 30, 2024 were $€ 869.8$ million above the comparable value as at December 31, 2023 ( $+4.6 \%$ ). Non-current assets increased by $€ 654.3$ million to $€ 15,707.4$ million. The rise is primarily attributable to an increase in property, plant, and equipment ( $+€ 574.3$ million) due to capital expenditure at the Frankfurt site. In addition, investments in airport operating projects increased ( $+€ 204.8$ million) in particular as a result of the ongoing expansion at the Group company Lima. At $€ 4,053.3$ million, current assets as at September 30, 2024 were $€ 215.6$ million above the comparable value as at the 2023 balance sheet date. In this context, trade accounts receivable increased by $€ 116.9$ million, in particular due to traffic volumes. In addition, cash and cash equivalents increased by $€ 109.9$ million to $€ 2,520.4$ million. By contrast, there was a decrease in other current financial assets ( $€ 103.0$ million), mainly due to the disposal of securities.

At $€ 4,992.1$ million, shareholders' equity as at September 30, 2024 was $€ 399.8$ million higher than as at December 31, 2023. The increase was mainly due to the improved Group result of $€ 434.0$ million based on the positive business development. The shareholders' equity ratio increased compared to the end of the 2023 fiscal year by $23.6 \%$ (December 31, 2023: $22.9 \%$ ). Noncurrent liabilities increased by $€ 709.6$ million to $€ 12,427.9$ million. The increase was mainly due to the increase in financial liabilities due to the bond issue in the second quarter of 2024 and the addition of further non-current financial liabilities by Fraport AG and the Group company Lima ( $+€ 700.9$ million). These were offset by maturity-related reclassifications to current financial liabilities. Current liabilities decreased in the reporting period by $€ 239.6$ million to $€ 2,340.7$ million. This is mainly due to the decrease in current financial liabilities ( $€ 488.7$ million) resulting in particular from the repayment of an existing bond. The repayments at Fraport AG were offset by the aforementioned reclassifications based on the maturity of previous non-current financial liabilities. In addition, as at September 30, 2024, current non-financial liabilities increased by $€ 95.5$ million as at the balance sheet date and income tax provisions increased by $€ 89.5$ million.

At $€ 11,966.1$ million, gross debt as at September 30, 2024 was above the comparable value as at December 31, 2023 of $€ 11,753.9$ million by $€ 212.2$ million. Liquidity fell by $€ 121.6$ million to $€ 3,919.7$ million. Net financial debt increased by $€ 333.8$ million to $€ 8,046.4$ million (December 31, 2023: $€ 7,712.6$ million). The gearing ratio reached a level of $172.6 \%$ (December 31, 2023: $178.6 \%$ ).

Statement of Cash Flows

Cash flow from operating activities increased by $22.5 \%$ in the first three quarters of the 2024 fiscal year to $€ 896.3$ million (9M 2024: $€ 731.9$ million). The improvement of $€ 164.4$ million compared to the same period in the previous year was primarily due to the improved operating result, positive effects from the change in working capital, and an increased balance from incoming and outgoing interest payments.

Cash flow used in investing activities without investments in cash deposits and securities amounted to $€ 1,178.7$ million, an increase of $€ 155.7$ million year-on-year. Increased cash outflows for expansion and extension measures at the Frankfurt site were offset by slightly lower costs for capital expenditure in airport operating projects, in particular in Lima. Taking into account capital expenditure in and income from securities and promissory note loans as well as capital expenditure in relation to time deposits, the overall cash flow used in investing activities was $€ 1,021.3$ million (9M 2023: $€ 1,471.6$ million).

In the first three quarters of the 2024 fiscal year, cash flow from financing activities decreased by $€ 315.1$ million to $€ 182.7$ million (9M 2023: $€ 497.8$ million). Cash inflows from long-term financial liabilities were particularly affected by the bond issue in the second quarter of 2024. By contrast, the redemption of the existing bond had a considerable impact on the repayment of the long-term financial liabilities. Taking into account exchange rate fluctuations and other changes, the Fraport Group reported cash and cash equivalents based on the statement of cash flows of $€ 762.8$ million as at September 30, 2024 (September 30, 2023: $€ 699.0$ million).

Free cash flow amounted to $€ 318.1$ million (9M 2023: $€ 316.2$ million).

Events after the Balance Sheet Date

There were no significant events for the Fraport Group after the balance sheet date.

Risk and Opportunities Report

In the current year 2024, the following changes have occurred compared to the risks and opportunities listed in the Risk and Opportunities Report in the 2023 Annual Report.

In the expansion project by Fraport TAV Antalya Yatirim, Yapim ve İşletme A.Ş. at Antalya Airport, follow-up financing and the associated increase in the financing volume was successfully completed at the end of March 2024. Financing is secured for 18 months until September 2025.

Following the floods in May 2024 at the Group airport in Porto Alegre in Brazil, flight operations were temporarily suspended. Operations were partially resumed on October, 21 with the airport expected to be fully operational again in December 2024. The contractual claims for compensation for damages arising from the concession contract have been provisionally accepted and insurance benefits have already been received.

In 2024, Swissport International was awarded a new license to provide ground services at the Frankfurt site as planned. Various scenarios for market entry are currently being analyzed. However, it is not possible to provide a final assessment of the associated risks or potential opportunities at this point in time.

Report on Forecast Changes

Business Outlook

At the end of the first nine months of 2024, the Executive Board maintains its forecasts for the results of operations, asset and financial position at Group level for the full year 2024 (see also the "Business outlook" chapter in the 2023 Annual Report and Fraport Interim Report Q2/6M 2024).

Owing to passenger development in Frankfurt, which is at the lower end of the forecast, the Executive Board now expects EBITDA in the Retail \& Real Estate segment to remain above the value for the full year 2023, but below $€ 400$ million (forecast in the Annual Report: improvement of segment EBITDA to $€ 400$ million or slightly above). EBITDA for the Ground Handling segment is expected to continue to improve. Due to the moderate traffic development, however, EBITDA is expected to remain in the negative range (forecast in the Annual Report: EBITDA approximately balanced). By contrast, the International Activities \& Services segment is developing more positively than expected. Despite the temporary closure of the international airport in Porto Alegre, the Executive Board now expects segment EBITDA to improve compared to 2023 (forecast in the Annual Report: consistent or slightly positive segment EBITDA compared to the previous year).
