Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG (HHLA) experienced strong growth in the
first nine months of 2011 and further expanded its market positions.
Compared with the previous year, container throughput increased by 24.8 %
to 5,305 thousand standard containers (TEU) in the first three quarters of
2011. Container transport in the hinterland grew by 13.0 % to EUR 1.425
thousand TEU. Revenue rose by 15.8 % to EUR 912.5 million, while the
operating result (EBIT) improved by 16.2 % to EUR 164.5 million.

HHLA forecasts total Group revenue in the region EUR 1.2 billion and an
operating result (EBIT) in the region of EUR 210 million for the full year
2011. However, given the current economic slowdown, impairment with respect
to German intermodal traffic and fruit logistics can no longer be ruled
out. Should an adjustment be made, EBIT would be expected in the region of
EUR 200 million.
