    season. Bookings to date are up +11% against Winter 2022/23. ASP continues to be  well
    ahead of Winter 2022/23 across our key markets, +5% higher overall and notably +1% pts
    ahead of the level published in September.  Bookings for Summer 2024^2 are still at  a
    very early stage with  14% of the  season sold. Initial indications  are for a  strong
    season with bookings in all markets  starting promisingly up +13% against Summer  2023

    expectations for Winter  2023/24, with volumes  and booked occupancy  in all  segments
    well ahead of prior year

 

FY24 Guidance^4

  • We are focused  on operational excellence  and execution. Our  strategic roadmap,  the
    strong operational recovery and  the measures taken to  strengthen our balance  sheet,
    lay the foundations for  future profitable growth. Our  Guidance for FY24 is  provided
    within  the  framework  of   the  current  macroeconomic   as  well  as   geopolitical
    uncertainties especially  in the  Middle East.  It is  based on  the current  positive
    booking momentum across both seasons, albeit with Summer at an early stage, as well as
    a return to  a normal hedging  policy.  Against  this background, we  can provide  the
    following guidance for FY24:

       ◦ We expect Revenue to increase by at least 10% year-on-year
       ◦ We expect underlying EBIT to increase by at least 25% year-on-year

 

 

Mid-Term Ambitions^4

  • We have a clear  strategy to accelerate profitable  growth by increasing the  customer
    lifetime value,  creating a  business which  is more  agile, more  cost-efficient  and
    achieving a  higher speed  to market  with the  aim to  create additional  shareholder
    value. Our mid-term ambitions are as follows:

       ◦ Generate underlying EBIT growth of c. 7-10% CAGR
       ◦ Target net leverage^1 strongly below 1.0x
       ◦ Return to a credit rating territory in line with our pre-pandemic rating BB/Ba
         (S&P/Moody’s)

 

Considerations of the appropriate long-term listing arrangements for TUI AG

  • TUI has been  recently approached by  certain shareholders to  discuss and  understand
    whether the current listing structure is optimal and advantageous for the Company, and
    if the simplification of the listing structures and an inclusion in the MDAX would  be
    beneficial for TUI.  This is  against the  background, that  in the  period since  the
    completion of the  merger with TUI  Travel and,  more significantly in  the past  four
    years, the ownership of TUI AG’s shares and the liquidity on the exchanges has evolved
    significantly with a notable liquidity migration from  UK to Germany. In light of  the
    views expressed  by  shareholders and  any  further feedback  from  shareholders,  the
    Executive Board is currently considering, if an Upgrade to a Prime Standard listing in
    Frankfurt with MDAX inclusion and a delisting from the London Stock Exchange would  be
    in the best interest  of shareholders. The  Executive Board’s focus  is to provide  an
    attractive, long-term listing for TUI AG  which aligns with its ownership and  current
    liquidity  and  delivers  benefits  to  all  shareholders.  Potential  advantages   of
    simplification of  the  listing  structures and  an  inclusion  in the  MDAX  are  the
    centralisation of liquidity,  providing a  clearer investment profile  under a  single
    listing,  potential  benefits  to  European   Union  airline  ownership  and   control
    requirements, potentially enhancing TUI AG’s equity profile with an expected prominent
    position in the MDAX50 and creating efficiencies as well as reducing costs.  While  no
    decision has  been  taken, the  Executive  Board is  therefore  currently  considering
    including the UK-Delisting resolution on the agenda  for the AGM on 13 February  2024.
    Under the UK Listing  Rules, the UK-Delisting will  require shareholder approval of  a
    delisting resolution with at least a 75% majority of the votes cast.

  • Hotels & Resorts in line with expectations with a repeat of the strong performance in
    the prior year

  ◦ Our hotel portfolio is well-diversified in terms of product offer, destination mix and
    ownership models, and benefits from multi-channel and multi-source market distribution
    via Markets &  Airlines, direct  to customer,  and via  third parties  such as  Online
    Travel Agents (OTAs) and tour operators mainly outside our own source markets
  ◦ Q4 underlying EBIT of €287m  was in line with prior  year and well above  pre-pandemic
    levels supported  by  a strong  operational  performance  in particular  for  RIU  and
    underlining the significant development of  this segment. Popular destinations  during
    the key summer quarter  proved to be  Turkey, Greece, the  Canaries, the Balearics  as
    well as the Caribbean
  ◦ A total of 12.0m available bed nights^10 were  on offer, +5% higher than in the  prior
    year. Average  daily rate^11  rose  by +9%  year-on-year to  €87  across all  our  key
    destinations with occupancy levels^12 remaining high  at 89%, although -3% lower  than
    in the prior year
  ◦ As at 30  September 2023, there  were a  total of 424  hotels in our  TUI Group  hotel
    portfolio made up  of 360 own  hotels against (353  in the prior  year) and 64  hotels
    belonging to our international concept brands

 

  • Cruises – Significantly higher Q4 result year-on-year, boosted by improved operational
    performance across all brands

  ◦ Our three cruise brands (Mein Schiff, Hapag-Lloyd Cruises, Marella) cover the  cruises
    sector from premium all-inclusive to luxury to expeditions, with leading positions  in
    the German-speaking and  UK markets,  benefiting from  multi-channel distribution  via
    Markets & Airlines, direct to customer and via third parties
  ◦ Q4 underlying  EBIT for  the segment  was €157m,  a significant  improvement of  +€54m
    against prior year. This includes the equity result of TUI Cruises of €101m (EAT). All
    three cruise  brands contributed  to  the positive  results development  supported  by
    increased volumes, higher occupancies and improved average daily rates
  ◦ The segment operated a full fleet of sixteen  ships as in the prior year. As a  result
    available passenger cruise days^13 of 2.4m was in line with prior year. Occupancies^14
    continued to rise  quarter by  quarter throughout the  financial year,  ranging in  Q4
    between 84% for  Hapag-Lloyd and over  100% for  both Mein Schiff  (104%) and  Marella
    Cruises (101%)  and returning  to  pre-pandemic levels.  Average daily  rates^15  also
    increased across all three fleets to €250  overall, up +11% against €226 in the  prior
    year and ahead of pre-pandemic levels,  highlighting the strong demand for our  cruise
    brands
  ◦ During the quarter,  Mein Schiff  offered itineraries to  the Mediterranean,  Northern
    Europe, Baltic Sea and North America, with Hapag-Lloyd’s programme focused on  Europe,
    the Americas as  well as voyages  to the Artic,  based on an  overall fleet of  eleven
    ships. Marella,  with  its  fleet  of  five  ships  operated  itineraries  across  the
    Mediterranean, North America and the Caribbean

 

  • TUI Musement continues to  drive forward digitalisation  and product innovation,  with
    results up on higher volumes

  ◦ Our TUI  Musement business  is one  of the  largest digital  providers of  experiences
    (including excursions,  activities and  tickets) transfers  and multi-day  tours.  The
    business continues  to drive  growth through  its digitalisation  initiatives and  the
    development of own differentiated products 
  ◦ Underlying EBIT in Q4 of €49m  improved +€7m year-on-year, supported by the  expansion
    of the  B2C  experiences offering,  increased  B2B partnerships  and  higher  transfer
    volumes and experience sales to our Markets & Airlines business
  ◦ During the quarter, TUI Musement provided  11.6m guest transfers in the  destinations,
    an increase of +0.6m against the prior  year. In addition, 3.6m experiences were  sold
    in the quarter, +0.4m  higher than in  the prior year.  The uptake rate  of 33% in  Q4
    highlights the cross-sell  opportunity we  have in  this business  and underlines  the
    benefit of our integrated business model

 

  • Markets & Airlines  – Significant  increase in  underlying EBIT  generated by  further
    growth in customer volumes at higher prices

  ◦ Our Markets & Airlines  business covers the whole  customer journey. We  differentiate
    ourselves from the  competition (such as  tour operators, OTAs,  hotels and  airlines)
    based on exclusive  and high-quality  product, service and  trust and  by following  a
    customer-centric approach
  ◦ Q4 underlying EBIT for the segment increased significantly by +€128m to €737m  against
    the prior year (FY22 Q4 €609m), driven in particular by higher prices as well as  good
    demand, demonstrating the strength of our  customer offering. Whilst there was a  more
    normalised level of flight disruptions witnessed against the prior year, results in Q4
    FY23 were impacted  by €25m  during the  peak summer season  due to  the wildfires  on
    Rhodes. On a regional basis, both Central and Western Region were the key contributors
    to the improved result
  ◦ During the quarter, a total of 7.8m customers departed for their holidays, +2% above
    Q4 FY22 (7.6m) with customer growth most notable in Central Region and here in
    particular in the German and Polish markets. Average load factor of 92% for the
    quarter, was +1%pts higher than prior year 
  ◦ Spain, Greece,  Turkey, the  Balearics and  the Canaries  proved again  to be  popular
    short- and medium-haul destinations  during the quarter, with  Mexico the most  booked
    long-haul destination 
  ◦ Direct^16 and online^17 distribution mix decreased slightly year-on-year to 75%  (from
    77%) and  51%  (from  53%)  respectively,  with  our  customers  benefiting  from  our
    omni-channel distribution offer and  again, post pandemic,  having the opportunity  to
    receive support from our experienced and service orientated retail colleagues
  ◦ In line with  our strategy  to accelerate the  Group’s transformation  into a  digital
    platform business we  have seen further  growth in both  dynamic packaging, which  now
    makes up 13% of our customer base and app sales which are now 5% of overall sales

 

NET DEBT  

During the year we achieved a further strong improvement  in our net debt position by
€1.3bn year-on-year to €2.1bn. This positive development was supported by the net proceeds
from our rights issue in April 2023 and a positive inflow from operations. In addition,
the WSF Silent Participation I and Warrant Bond was paid back at a market value of €750m.

 

The measures taken to strengthen our balance sheet resulted in a significant improvement
in our leverage ratios to below FY19 levels with net leverage^1 reducing to 1.2x, from
2.8x in the prior year and against 1.6x in FY19.

 

During the year we saw a first improvement in our credit rating with S&P upgrading to B
and Moody’s upgrading to B2 both with a positive outlook.

 

FUEL/FOREIGN EXCHANGE

Our strategy of hedging the majority of our jet fuel and currency requirements for future
seasons gives us increased certainty of costs when planning capacity and pricing. Our
current hedged positions for the coming winter and summer seasons are in line with our
expectations. The following table shows the percentage of our forecast requirement that is
currently hedged for Euros, US Dollars and jet fuel for our Markets & Airlines, which
account for over 90% of our Group currency and fuel exposure.

 

Hedged Position* W23/24 S24 W24/25
Euro              94%   65%  25%
US Dollar         90%   76%  37%
Jet Fuel          94%   75%  35%

CURRENT TRADING (further detail is provided in the appendix)

Hotels & Resorts^3 – Number of available bed nights^10 for H1 FY24 is +4% ahead of H1 FY23
with higher capacities in particular  across the RIU portfolio  due mainly to fewer  hotel
renovations. Booked occupancy^12 is currently up +5%pts for the same period. Average daily
rates^11 are +5% ahead of prior year, with rates up across our key hotel brands. We expect
key destinations in H1 to be the Canaries, Mexico, the Caribbean and Cape Verde.

 

Cruises^3 – Demand for our  unique cruise brands, which  offer a strong value  proposition
for customers, continues to  be strong. We plan  to deploy a full  fleet of sixteen  ships
during the Winter. As a  result available passenger cruise days^13  in H1 FY24 are at  -1%
broadly in line with prior year given that additional ships are scheduled for regular  dry
and wet dock during the period. Following their recovery throughout FY23, booked occupancy
rates^14 are anticipated to remain high at  +11%pts above H1 FY23. Average daily  rates^15
are also significantly above prior year at  +14%, underlining the strong recovery of  this
segment and the popularity  of the product on  offer. Mein Schiff, with  its fleet of  six
ships will offer itineraries to the Canaries, the Orient, the Caribbean, Central  America,
Asia and Northern Europe. Hapag-Lloyd’s  fleet of five ships will  focus on routes to  the
Americas, Caribbean and Asia with standout expeditions including the semi-circumnavigation
of Antarctica. Marella,  with its fleet  of five  ships, will operate  itineraries to  the
Canaries and the Caribbean with Asia also reintroduced for the upcoming Winter season.

 

TUI Musement^3 – In our  Tours and Activity business, we  will expand our B2C  experiences
offering as well as B2B business with partners and anticipate a higher volume of transfers
and experiences sales driven by our Markets  & Airlines business. The business has seen  a
positive start to the winter with sales to date for our experiences business, up +15%  for
H1 FY24 against prior year. Over the  same period, the provision of transfer services  and
support to  our customers  in the  destination, is  anticipated to  develop in  line  with
operations and capacity operated by Markets & Airlines.

 

Markets & Airlines^2 – We are pleased to report, that the positive Winter 2023/24  booking
momentum is continuing,  with +1.4m  bookings added since  our Pre-Close  Statement on  19
September. Current booking trends and customer demand remain strong, whereby recent  weeks
had seen a temporary slight slowing of bookings to Egypt due to the Middle East  conflict.
Our Winter programme has been expanded, with Winter capacity trending in line with booking
levels. We have a  strong pipeline of 2.9m  bookings for the season  to date, which is  an
increase of +11% against the  prior Winter season. As a  result, 56% of the programme  has
already been sold, which is in line with the prior season. ASP continues to be well  ahead
of Winter 2022/23 across our key markets, +5% higher overall and notably +1% pts ahead  of
the level published  in September,  highlighting our customers’  continued willingness  to
prioritise spend on travel and experiences. 95% of the FY24 Q1 programme, which represents
a mix of  late summer  and winter  bookings, has  been sold,  with bookings  in line  with
expectations. Demand for short- and medium haul destinations continues to drive  bookings,
with popular destinations proving to be the Canaries, Egypt and Cape Verde. Key  long-haul
destinations for the Winter  include Mexico, Thailand and  the Dominican Republic. In  UK,
traditionally our most advanced booked  market, 57% of the season  has been sold to  date.
Here, bookings  are up  +9% against  Winter 2022/23,  +1% pts  higher than  our  September
publication, In Germany,  our other  major market, volumes  are up  significantly at  +16%
against the prior season.

Bookings for Summer 2024  are still at  a very early  stage with 14%  of the season  sold.
Initial indications  are  for  a strong  season  with  bookings in  all  markets  starting
promisingly, up +13%  against Summer  2023 with  ASP +4% higher.  As usual  at this  point
during the season, we reserve  the option to flexibly  adjust capacity, for instance  from
the eastern  to western  Mediterranean. In  UK, which  has been  on sale  for the  longest
period, bookings are  up +6% following  the sale of  24% of the  programme. Similarly,  in
Germany the season has started strongly, with  bookings +25% higher following the sale  of
9% of the programme. In  all other markets, we have  a promising early booking profile  at
stronger ASPs.

SUSTAINABLITY (ESG)

As industry leader,  we want  to set  the standard for  sustainability in  the market.  We
believe that sustainable transformation should not be viewed solely as a cost factor,  but
that sustainability  pays  off  – for  society,  for  the environment,  and  for  economic
development. Our  strategy is  underpinned by  clear science-based  goals and  targets  on
sustainability. Our sustainability agenda sets out  our plans to reduce our  environmental
footprint significantly,  whilst  maximising  the socio-economic  impact  of  tourism.  It
consists of three building blocks ‒ People, Planet and Progress.

 

We have  near-term  targets set  for  airline, cruises  and  hotels, to  reduce  emissions
according to the latest climate scientific findings. These 2030 targets were validated  by
the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and published in our FY23 Q1 Interim Report in
February 2023.

 

We continue to  make significant progress  to reduce emissions  across our business.  Most
recently the following milestones were achieved:

  • Markets & Airlines: sustainable aviation fuel  (SAF) plays a crucial role in  reducing
    aviation emissions. TUI  cooperates with a  number of partners  to secure supplies  of
    SAF. During summer 2023 an additional SAF  MOU was signed with INERATEC and the  first
    voluntary SAF taken up in Amsterdam
  • Hotels & Resorts: TUI Blue Montafon has become the first zero CO 2  hotel, marking the
    start of TUI’s plan to reduce emissions from own hotels to zero by 2030
  • Cruises: A  bio-fuel  blend  on  Mein  Schiff  4  &  Hanseatic  Inspiration  has  been
    introduced, reducing carbon emissions  by up to 90%  compared to fossil fuels.  During
    the summer season in Northern Europe, five  of the TUI Cruises fleet used green  shore
    power

 

In addition, we have also taken the following steps as part of our sustainability agenda:

  • TUI Musement: Over 1,600  experiences now meet the  strict sustainability criteria  of
    the Global Sustainability Tourism Council (GSTC)

STRATEGIC PRIORITIES

TUI’s strategy  is defined  across both  our Holiday  Experiences and  Markets &  Airlines
business divisions. It is embedded onto one central customer ecosystem, underpinned by our
Sustainability Agenda and by our people and is focused on rolling out the global  platform
capturing the Customer Lifetime Value. Our Holiday Experiences (Hotels & Resorts, Cruises,
TUI Musement)  strategy  focusses  on asset-right,  profitable  growth  in  differentiated
content and expanding  the customer  base with multi-channel  distribution, in  particular
outside Markets & Airlines. In Hotels & Resorts, product growth is delivered by  expanding
our portfolio in new  and existing destinations.  Product growth in  Cruises is driven  by
investment into  new-build  ships by  our  TUI Cruises  JV,  with three  new  ships  being
delivered over  the next  three years.  In  addition, we  are continuing  Marella’s  fleet
upgrade, by replacing older ships  with newer, larger ones,  which included the launch  of
Marella Voyager in  June 2023  (previously Mein  Schiff Herz).  In TUI  Musement, we  have
realigned our strategy to digitalise  all three business segments (experiences,  transfers
and tours), with a strong focus on delivering profitable growth from the marketing of  our
own products  across  all  channels  and  investing in  particular  in  more  of  our  own
differentiated products.

Our Markets & Airlines strategy focusses on strengthening and leveraging our  capabilities
(including brand and distribution increasingly  via the App, differentiated and  exclusive
product, quality  and  service) and  market  positions,  with growth  delivered  from  new
products and new customers, based on scalable common platforms. Product growth is based on
an expanded offer of accommodation only, flight only, car rentals, ancillaries and  tours,
as well  as increasing  the volume  and proportion  of dynamic  packaging and  supply,  to
deliver choice, flexibility and hence  growth, without increasing risk capacity.  Customer
growth is driven  by this increase  in choice and  flexibility, as we  enlarge our  appeal
across more customer segments, supported by our brand and marketing strategy.
