Interim Management Report

Summary

Q2 2023 underlying EBIT of €-242.4m delivering a strong improvement year-on-year (Q2 2022: €-329.9m) with the
strong booking momentum continuing into the Summer seasons. Successful completion of €1.8bn capital increase in
April

 

  • Successful completion of capital increase with gross proceeds of €1.8bn following Q2 close1. This enables
    full repayment of WSF state aid and reduction in the size of KfW RCF to €1.1bn and is a significant measure
    to restore our balance sheet strength and has led to a first improvement of our credit rating, with S&P
    upgrading to B with a positive outlook.
  • 2.4m customers enjoyed a holiday with us in the quarter, an increase of 0.6m customers versus the prior year
    and 88% of Q2 2019 customer levels on a like for like basis2. As a result, average load factor for the
    quarter was 93% (Q2 2022: Load factor 85%).
  • Group revenue of €3.2bn, improved significantly across our segments by a total of €1.0bn against the prior
    year (Q2 2022: €2.1bn), reflecting the strength of demand for our products in a restriction free travel
    environment with Group revenue above pre-pandemic levels at improved prices (Q2 2019: €3.1bn). 
  • Q2 Group underlying EBIT at €-242.4m, up by €87.5m and €181m on a comparable basis3 (Q2 2022: €-329.9m
    loss), with the Group results almost back to 2019 levels.

       ◦ Hotels & Resorts continued its strong performance reporting a fourth consecutive quarter above 2019
         levels and significantly up year-on-year, driven by good operational performances across our key
         brands.
       ◦ The recovery in Cruises continues with the segment achieving a fourth positive quarter since the start
         of the pandemic. As a result, the business recorded a strong improvement against last year boosted by
         higher volumes as well as improved occupancies with a full fleet able to operate again within a
         restriction free environment.
       ◦ Markets & Airlines operational growth continued in the quarter generated by higher ASPs and volumes.
         Results were well ahead of last year on a comparable basis excluding the positive benefits in the prior
         year of state aid in Germany and the impact of ineffective hedge positions.

  • Net debt of €-4.2bn as of 31 March 2023 excludes the impact of the capital increase in April 2023 (31 March
    2022: €-3.9bn). If retrospectively, net debt is adjusted at 31 March 2023 to include these proceeds4, net
    debt reduces to €-3.1bn.
  • A total of 12.9m bookings5 have been taken across the Winter and Summer seasons with ~4.2m bookings added
    since our Q1 2023 Interim Report. Winter 2022/23 closed out in line with expectations with ASPs well ahead.
  • Easter bookings confirmed the strong customer demand across all our markets. To date bookings for Summer
    2023 are significantly up at +13% on prior year accompanied by higher ASPs. Summer 2023 volumes in the last
    six weeks remains strong and are ahead of 2019 levels at +6% accompanied by higher ASPs emphasising the
    strength of customer demand and underlining the popularity of our product offering. In the UK, which is
    currently 64% sold, bookings are in line with the prior season and +10% versus pre-pandemic levels again
    accompanied by higher ASPs.
  • Given the latest positive booking trends, we are confident in our Summer 2023 capacity assumption of being
    close to normalised 2019 Summer levels.

voucher re-bookings

 

 

  • During the quarter we have continued to translate our Sustainability Agenda into actions across our
    businesses to shape a more sustainable future for tourism. In airlines, we have a new agreement in place
    with Shell on sustainable aviation fuel to promote production and supply of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).
    TUI Cruises introduced a new sustainability strategy with the ambition to offer their first climate-neutral
    cruises in 2030. In Hotels & Resorts, we launched the Green Building Guidelines to drive emission reductions
    for construction and refurbishment projects.
  • Based on the strong booking momentum which is continuing into the Summer season, we reconfirm our
    expectations to increase underlying EBIT significantly for financial year 20231.

 

1 Based on constant currency. In view of the effects from the war in Ukraine, the assumption for underlying EBIT
is subject to considerable

  uncertainty. Amongst others, the greatest area of uncertainty will be the impact on consumer confidence,
should there be further cost inflation

  volatility and/or an escalation of the war in Ukraine

 

 

Sustainability as opportunity  

  • For TUI Group, sustainability covering all three areas of economic, environmental and social sustainability
    is a fundamental management principle and a cornerstone of our strategy for continually enhancing the value
    of our company. We firmly believe that sustainable development is critical to long-term economic success.
    Together with our many partners around the world, we are actively committed to shaping a more sustainable
    future for tourism.
  • We have near-term targets set for airline, cruises and hotels, to reduce emissions in line with the latest
    climate science. These 2030 targets were validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and
    published in our Q1 Interim Report in February 2023. Emission reduction roadmaps have been developed for
    each business area and progress made during the quarter, including:

  ◦ In Airlines, a new collaboration agreement has been signed with Shell to promote the production and supply
    of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), a key tool to further reduce the carbon footprint of air transport,
    these fuels will be produced from circular raw materials that do not compete with food resources.
  ◦ TUI Cruises has launched it’s new sustainability strategy in its 15th anniversary year as a company. The
    strategy is aligned with the Sustainability Agenda and covers brands Mein Schiff and Hapag-Lloyd Cruises.
    Strategic fields include climate protection, destination responsibility and sustainable business
    transformation. The ambition is to offer the first climate-neutral cruises by 2030.
  ◦ TUI Hotels & Resorts has published new Green Building Guidelines for its hotels and TUI’s hotel partners.
    The guidelines include valuable environmental advice and measures for construction and refurbishment
    projects – an important toolkit for reducing emissions across hotels. We aim to achieve zero emissions in
    our TUI Blue Montafon hotel in Austria by the end of 2023 with further hotels to follow in Austria and Spain
    in 2024.
  ◦ Within our destinations we have launched a new eco-mobility project to create low emission transport
    options. This includes e-bike options in Rhodes for our destination reps.

write-ups of other intangible assets, depreciation and  write-ups of property, plant and equipment,  investments
and current assets.

in February 2023 as well as the impact of the subscription rights issued in the capital increase in March 2023.

4 Equity divided by balance sheet total in %, variance is given in percentage points.

All change figures refer to the same period of the previous year, unless otherwise stated.

The present  Half-Year Financial  Report  2023 is  based  on TUI  Group’s reporting  structure  set out  in  the
Consolidated Financial Statements of TUI AG as at 30 September 2022. See TUI Group Annual Report 2022 from  page
27. Due to the re-segmentation of Future Markets from  All other segments to Hotels & Resorts, TUI Musement  and
Central Region in the current financial year, previous year’s figures have been adjusted.

 

  • H1 2023 Group revenue of €6.9bn was up €2.4bn versus previous year (H1 2022: €4.5bn). The Group's H1 2023
    operating loss (underlying EBIT) of €-395.3m improved by €208.2m compared to previous year (H1 2022:
    €-603.5m).

 

Trading update – Strong booking momentum continues for Summer 2023 with capacity expected to be close to

    2023 Interim Report, as the strong booking momentum continues.
  • Summer 2023 volumes in the last six weeks remain strong and are up 6% on 2019 levels accompanied by higher
    ASPs emphasising the strength of customer demand and underlining the popularity of our product offering.

Summer 2023

  • Easter bookings confirmed the strong customer demand across all our markets and indications for the Summer
    season remain positive. 8.3m bookings have been taken to date, 3.6m more than at our Q1 2023 update. 55% of
    the programme sold which is +2%pts ahead of Summer 2022 and broadly in line with Summer 2019.
  • Bookings for Summer 2023 are significantly up +13% year-on-year and at 96% (+ 7%pts since Q1 2023) of
    pre-pandemic levels.
  • Against Summer 2022, ASP is up +5% and thus notably higher than the +2% comparison we published at Q1 2023.
    On a like-for-like basis, ASP is up +8% against the prior season, excluding Summer 2022 re-bookings
    rolled-forward from previous seasons. This increase highlights customers’ continued willingness to
    prioritise spend on travel and experiences. Compared to Summer 2019, ASP remains significantly up at +26%.
  • In the last six weeks, booking momentum has remained strong, +6% ahead of the Summer 2019 comparison
    reconfirming the positive and encouraging trends for this Summer.
  • Spain, Greece and Turkey continue to be popular Summer destinations for our customers.
  • The UK market continues to be the most advanced sold at 64%. Bookings are in line with the prior season and
    +10% versus pre-pandemic levels again accompanied by higher ASPs.
  • Given the latest positive booking trends, we are confident in our Summer 2023 capacity assumption of being
    close to normalised 2019 Summer levels.

 

1 Depending on the source market, Summer season starts in April or May and ends in September, October or
November.

2 Bookings up to 30 April 2023 relate to all customers whether risk or non-risk and include amendments and
voucher re-bookings

  • Hotels & Resorts – Number of available bed nights for H22 is ahead of prior year at +5% and slightly ahead
    of our Q1 Update. Booked occupancy is up year-on-year at +3%pts for H2. Average daily rates are +8% ahead
    year-on-year for H2 driven mainly by Riu. Key destinations in H2 are Turkey, the Caribbean, the Balearics,
    Greece, the Canaries and Cape Verde.
  • Cruises – Our three brands continue to operate a full fleet of in total sixteen ships. H2 available
    passenger cruise days are however slightly behind at -1%1 due to the current refurbishment of Mein Schiff
    Herz after its transfer from TUI Cruises to Marella and before it returns to service at the beginning of
    June for the summer season. Booked occupancy rates are up +22%pts for H2, developing, for many Cruises,
    close to the peaks last seen in 2019. 2023 booked ticket rates for many cruises are above pre-pandemic
    levels.
  • TUI Musement – Our Tours and Activities business continues its expansion investing into growth while
    returning to 2019 profitability. The segment benefits from our integrated model with a global product
    offering in cities as well as sun and beach locations, and growth of third-party sales through the TUI
    Musement platform. The transfer business, providing support to our guests in their destination, is expected
    to develop in line with our Markets & Airlines capacity assumptions in 2023. Sales to date for our
    Experiences business, providing excursions, activities and tickets, are up mid-double digit percent for H21.
    The significant growth in Experiences is driven by the enlarged product offering especially online and our
    diversified distribution via TUI, B2C and B2B.

Strategic priorities

The TUI Group's strategy outlined in the Annual Report 20221 and at our FY2022 results presentation, will be
continued in the current financial year.

 

TUI’s strategy aims to deliver growth in both Holiday Experiences and Markets & Airlines, embedded in one
central customer ecosystem, underpinned by our sustainability agenda and our people. Our Holiday Experiences
business strategy focuses on asset-right growth in differentiated content and expanding the customer base with
multi-channel distribution. Having accelerated our strategic transformation of Markets & Airlines during the
pandemic, and fully implemented our Global Realignment Programme, our business strategy is now focused on
profitable growth. This will be achieved by offering more product choice, growing our customer ecosystem into
untapped segments, and increasing customer value. This includes increasing the volume and proportion of
dynamically sourced packages, as well as significantly increasing our component offer in accommodation only and
flight only.

 

We also aim to further improve our cash position focusing on optimising working capital and cash from operations
and maintaining disciplined capital expenditure through by asset right growth. In April 2023, we successfully
completed a €1.8bn rights issue, facilitating the full repayment of the remaining state aid instruments granted
by the German Economic Stabilization Fund (WSF) and enabling a significant reduction in the size of our KfW
credits lines as well as a repayment of current drawings under our credit lines in the same magnitude. This is a
significant measure to restore our balance sheet strength as well as reducing net interest and has led to a
first improvement in our credit rating, with S&P upgrading to B with a positive outlook.

 

FY23 Assumptions2 – Based on the strong booking momentum, which is continuing into the Summer season, we confirm
our expectations for financial year 2023 that underlying EBIT will increase significantly.

 

Mid-term ambitions - We have a clear strategy to accelerate profitable market growth with new customer segments
and more product sales. Our mid-term 2025/26 ambitions are for underlying EBIT to significantly build on
€1.2bn3. We have a target to return to a gross leverage ratio4 of well below 3.0x and aim to return to a credit

2 Based on constant currency. In view of the effects from the war in Ukraine, the assumption for underlying EBIT
is subject to considerable

  uncertainty. Amongst others, the greatest area of uncertainty will be the impact on consumer confidence,
should there be further cost inflation

  volatility and/or an escalation of the war in Ukraine

Report on changes in expected development

We re-confirm our expectation set out in the Annual Report 2022 for a significant increase in TUI Group's
underlying EBIT in financial year 20235 compared with 2022.

 

We have updated the following expectations for financial year 2023 described in the Annual Report 2022 as
follows:

 

For financial year 2023, we now expect a net negative effect from adjustments in a range of €40m to €60m
(previously €60m to €80m).

 

Against the backdrop of the net cash inflows from the capital increase completed in April 2023 and the
repayments to the German Economic Stabilisation Fund (WSF), we now expect the Group's net debt to be around
€2.4bn at the end of financial year 2023 (previously broadly stable).

 

We continue to consider the remaining assumptions for financial year 2023 made in the Annual Report 2022 to be
valid. See also TUI Group Annual Report 2022 from page 52 onwards.

H1 2023 total revenue in our Hotels & Resorts segment increased to €742.9m, up €218.4m year-on-year (H1 2022:
€524.6m). H1 underlying EBIT for the segment of €149.7m improved by €64.9m year-on-year (H1 2022: €84.8m).

 

Q2 2023 total revenue for the segment grew to €358.2m, an increase of €116.5m year-on-year (Q2 2022: €241.8m)
supported by the restriction free travel environment across our wide portfolio of destinations. As a result Q2
underlying EBIT of €78.0m, increased by €54.4m year-on-year (Q2 2022: €23.7m) achieving a fourth consecutive
quarter above 2019 levels underlining the strong recovery of this segment post pandemic. Results were driven by
good operational performances across the hotels businesses, with higher occupancies and rates in a stronger
trading environment. Riu in particular, contributed to the improvement, with the Caribbean, Canaries and Cape
Verde key destinations.

 

In the Q2 period, we operated 7.0m available bednights (capacity), slightly up by 1% on Q2 2022. The overall
occupancy rate for the segment increased across all businesses by a total of 18%pts year-on-year to 83%, driven
in particular by the Caribbean and Spanish destinations. Our hotels across the Caribbean delivered average
occupancy rates of 92%, with Mexico being our most popular destination achieving 93% average occupancy in the
second quarter. Our hotels in the Canaries also saw high demand during this winter period, achieving average
occupancy of 86%. Other key destinations in the quarter were Egypt and Cape Verde. 

 

Q2 2023 average daily rate in the segment rose by 16% year-on-year to €100 with rates in particular in the
Caribbean higher. Riu’s average daily rate increased by 16% to €83 (Q2 2022: €71) and Blue Diamond’s average
daily rate increased by 15% to €165 (Q2 2022: €143). Robinson achieved an average daily rate of €112, broadly in
line with prior year (Q2 2022: €115).

 

Future content growth in our Hotels & Resorts segment, will be delivered both through our well-known hotel
brands in existing and new destinations, as well as introducing new brands to complement our portfolio. This
growth will be achieved in accordance with an asset-right strategy. During the quarter we already announced
further growth plans within TUI Blue, one of our TUI signature hotel brands focused on experienced orientated
lifestyle travellers. The expansion, starting in Summer 2023, will see 14 new openings across four continents
during the next two years with new destinations such as China, Senegal, Cambodia and Curaçao. The expansion is
driven by international partnerships in which TUI Blue hotels are operated either under management contracts or
by franchisees.

The Cruises segment comprises the joint venture TUI Cruises in Germany, which operates cruise ships under the
brands Mein Schiff and Hapag-Lloyd Cruises, and Marella Cruises in UK. The segment operated a full fleet of 16
ships in the second quarter whilst in Q2 2022 operations were more limited and only gradually ramped up as
COVID-19 restrictions were eased.

 

H1 2023 Cruises revenue only includes Marella Cruises, as TUI Cruises is accounted for using the equity method.
Revenue grew to €257.1m, a significant improvement of €181.6m year-on-year (H1 2022: €75.5m). H1 2023 underlying
EBIT for the segment (including the equity result of TUI Cruises) was €15.0m, up €120.2m year-on-year (H1 2022:
€-105.3m loss).

 

Q2 2023 revenue reflecting Marella Cruises solely, increased to €141.9m, up €100.5m year-on-year (Q2 2022:
€41.3m). As a result, Q2 2023 underlying EBIT for the segment (including the equity result of TUI Cruises), was
€14.8m, an improvement of €88.3m (Q2 2022: €-73.5m loss) with both TUI Cruises and Marella contributing to the
positive development boosted by increased volumes as well as higher occupancies. The Cruises business continues
to recover post pandemic and this is now the fourth consecutive positive quarter for the segment with TUI
Cruises achieving Q2 2023 EAT (earnings after tax) of €18m.

 

Mein Schiff – Mein Schiff operated their full fleet of seven ships against a more limited programme in the
previous year where only six ships were able to return to operation by the end of the quarter as COVID-19
measures were gradually lifted. The brand offered itineraries to the Canaries, the Caribbean and around the
world with Asian itineraries resuming in Winter 2022/23 for the first time since the pandemic. Occupancy of the
operated fleet in Q2 2023 was 93% as a result (Q2 2022: 51%) demonstrating the strong demand for our German
language, premium all-inclusive product. At €136, the average daily rate was close to pre-pandemic levels (Q2
2019: €146) and virtually in line with prior year at -1% (Q2 2022: €138).

 

Hapag-Lloyd Cruises – Hapag-Lloyd Cruises, our luxury and expeditions brand, offering itineraries around the
world as well as voyages to Antarctica. The brand operated all five ships in Q2 2023 against a more limited
programme in the prior year. Q2 average daily rate was €780, well above pre-pandemic levels (Q2 2019: €680), and
with an increase of 29% on prior year (Q2 2022: €606). Q2 occupancy of the fleet was 67% (Q2 2022: 29%),
underlining the popularity of these cruise post pandemic.

 

Marella Cruises – Our UK cruise brand offered itineraries to the Caribbean and the Canaries in Q2 operating all
four ships against a partial fleet deployment in Q2 2022. The business achieved an average daily rate of £181 up
16.4% year-on-year (Q2 2022: £156) and above the pre-pandemic level of £154. Occupancy was at 95%, versus a
prior year Q2 of 53% benefiting from an improved trading environment.

In TUI Musement, our Tours and Activities business, H1 2023 revenue of €290.0m, was up €144.4m year-on-year
(H1 2022: €145.6m). H1 underlying EBIT loss of €-26.2m was an improvement against prior year (H1 2022: €-31.5m
loss).

 

Q2 2023 revenue of €130.3m, was up €62.2m year-on-year (Q2 2022: €68.1m), with an underlying EBIT loss of    
€-12.7m reduced by €5.5m against prior year (Q2 2022: €-18.2m loss). The improvement reflects the advantage of
our integrated model and growth of third-party sales through the TUI Musement platform. The business continues
to accelerate its B2C offering driving growth of Experiences sales directly to the consumer as part of the
strategic development of this segment. In doing so, we continue to drive and enhance our digital transformation
to enrich the customer experience throughout all channels and providing support and expertise in resort both in
person and through our dedicated TUI App.

 

During the quarter, TUI Musement benefited from increased guest transfers due to a higher number of tour
operator guests, providing 3.4m transfers in the destinations against 2.5m in the same quarter last year as the
trading environment returned to normal across our global destinations. In addition, 1.3m Experiences were sold,
up 0.7m year-on-year (Q2 2022: 0.7m) highlighting the significant expansion of our business in this segment.

H1 2023 revenue of €5,923.2m, was up €2,030.0m year-on-year (H1 2022: €3,893.2m). H1 underlying EBIT reflected
the usual winter seasonal loss for the sector of €-503.2m which however, was an improvement of €21.6m
year-on-year (H1 2022: €-524.7m loss).

 

Q2 2023 revenue of €2,660.1m, increased €824.0m year-on-year (Q2 2022: €1,836.1m). The Q2 underlying EBIT loss
of €-308.5m was €-46.4m lower year-on-year (Q2 2022: €-262.2m loss). Prior year Q2 included a €43m benefit from
ineffective hedges and also €50m state compensation within Central Region for loss of business in the course of
the pandemic. Excluding these effects, Q2 2023 results were up €47m year-on-year driven by higher prices and a
restriction free trading environment with good demand for our wide and varied product offering. Traditional
short- and medium haul destinations such as the Canaries and Egypt were again popular destinations for our
customers, with long-haul destinations such as Mexico and the Dominican Republic also in good demand. However,
the overall segment continued to be impacted by inflationary pressures especially on energy as well as exchange
rate volatility.

 

A total of 2,439k customers departed in Q2 2023, an increase of 567k customers versus Q2 2022.

Financial position and net assets

Cash Flow / Net capex and investments / Net debt

In the first half-year of financial year 2023, TUI Group’s business volume was significantly higher than in
H1 2022, which was still impacted by measures to contain the spread of COVID-19. TUI Group’s results generally
also reflect the significant seasonal swing in tourism between the winter and summer travel months.

 

TUI Group's operating cash outflow in H1 2023 of €284.4m increased by €724.2m compared to previous year, due to
an increase in supplier payments as a result of higher business volumes in the previous Summer, in addition to
slightly lower December bookings received in H1 2023. 

 

Net debt position as at 31 March 2023 of €-4.2bn was up €260.4m compared to previous year level (31 March 2022:
€-3.9bn).

* Including €-0.8m for Q2 2023 (Q2 2023: €1.4m) and €20.6m for H1 2023 (H1 2022: €2.7m ) cash gross capex of the
aircraft leasing companies, which are allocated to Markets & Airlines as a whole, but not to the individual
segments Northern Region, Central Region and Western Region.

 

Cash gross capex in H1 2023 was €135.7m higher year-on-year. This increase was due, amongst others, to higher
investments in Hotels & Resorts, the airline sector and at Marella for the refurbishment of Mein Schiff Herz
prior to its commissioning for the UK market. Net capex and investments of €217.8m increased by €81.1m
year-on-year. The divestments include an inflow of €71m from the sale of the stakes in RIU Hotels S.A. in
financial year 2021.

Comments on the consolidated income statement

In the first half of financial year 2023, TUI Group’s business volume was significantly higher than in H1 2022,
which was still impacted by measures to contain the spread of COVID-19. TUI Group’s results generally also
reflect the significant seasonal swing in tourism between the winter and summer travel months.

 

In H1 2023, consolidated revenue increased by €2.4bn year-on-year to €6.9bn.

Alternative performance measures

The Group’s main financial KPI is underlying EBIT. We define the EBIT in underlying EBIT as earnings before
interest, income taxes and expenses for the measurement of the Group’s interest hedges. EBIT by definition
includes goodwill impairments.

 

One-off items carried here include adjustments for income and expense items that reflect amounts and frequencies
of occurrence rendering an evaluation of the operating profitability of the segments and the Group more
difficult or causing distortions. These items include gains on disposal of financial investments, significant
gains and losses from the sale of assets as well as significant restructuring and integration expenses. Any
effects from purchase price allocations, ancillary acquisition costs and conditional purchase price payments are
adjusted. Also, any goodwill impairments are adjusted in the reconciliation to underlying EBIT.

Corporate Governance

Composition of the Boards

 

In H1 2023 the composition of the Boards of TUI AG changed as follows:

 

Executive Board

As of 30 September 2022 Friedrich Joussen has resigned as Chief Executive Officer of TUI AG. Sebastian Ebel,
previously Chief Financial Officer, took over as CEO as of 1 October 2022. Also effective 1 October 2022 the
Supervisory Board appointed Mathias Kiep, previously Group Director Controlling, Corporate Finance and Investor
Relations as the new CFO. Both new appointments have a contract term of three years.

 

Frank Rosenberger, Member of the Board of Management responsible for IT and Future Markets, left TUI Group on 31
October 2022.

 

In February 2023, the Supervisory Board appointed Peter Krueger as a member of the Executive Board for a further
three years until the end of December 2026.

 

Supervisory Board

After Alexey Mordashov and Vladimir Lukin resigned from their offices in March 2022, Helena Murano and Christian
Baier were appointed as Supervisory Board members of TUI AG by order of Hanover Local Court dated 31 May 2022.
The Executive Board’s applications for appointment by the Court were limited to the period until the next Annual
General Meeting (AGM) in accordance with recommendation C.15, sentence 2 of the German Corporate Governance
Code. Helena Murano and Christian Baier have now been elected by the AGM on 14 February 2023, as has Dr Dieter
Zetsche, whose previous term of office ended at the close of this AGM. The terms of office end at the end of the
AGM that resolves on the discharge of the Supervisory Board for the financial year ending on 30 September 2026,
i.e. until 2027.

 

The current, complete composition of the Executive Board and Supervisory Board is published on our website,
where it is permanently accessible to the public.

Risk and Opportunity Report

Successful management of existing and emerging risks is critical to the long-term success of our business and to
the achievement of our strategic objectives.

 

We aggregate the risks into principal risks, upon which senior management determines its risk appetite. Full
details of our risk governance framework and principal risks can be found in the Annual Report 2022.

 

  • For details of risks and opportunities, see our Annual Report 2022, from page 34 and page 55

 

External events, namely the COVID 19-pandemic, the impact on input cost due the Ukraine war, and supply chain
disruptions impact the principal risks. The impact is higher if a combination of principal risks is affected.

 

Contact restriction measures and travel restrictions were gradually eased in most countries in the first months
of the calendar year 2022 and business was fully resumed in all segments. The booking momentum for the financial
year 2023 remains encouraging. Based on past trends, the Executive Board expects capacity to be close to
normalised 2019 levels in summer 2023.

 

From the Executive Board’s perspective, despite the existing risks, TUI Group currently has and will continue to
have sufficient funds, resulting from both borrowings and operating cash flows, to meet its payment obligations
and to ensure the going concern of the company accordingly in the foreseeable future. In this context, the
Executive Board assumes that the credit lines expiring in summer 2024 will be refinanced. Therefore, as at 31
March 2023, the Executive Board does not identify any material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on
the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Executive Board does not see any risks that could jeopardise the company's existence and assumes that
compliance with covenants as of 30 September 2023 and 31 March 2024 is not at risk.

 

Nevertheless, the general price increase in recent months and a resulting reduced private budget could dampen
customer demand. In addition, a permanent increase in fuel costs as well as services, especially those that we
purchase in US Dollar, could adversely affect the development.

General

The TUI Group and its major subsidiaries and shareholdings operate in tourism. TUI AG, based in
Karl-Wiechert-Allee 4, 30625 Hanover, Germany, is the TUI Group’s parent company and a listed corporation under
German law. The Company is registered in the commercial registers of the district courts of
Berlin-Charlottenburg (HRB 321) and Hanover (HRB 6580), Germany. The shares in TUI AG are traded on the London
Stock Exchange and the Hanover and Frankfurt Stock Exchanges. In this document, the term “TUI Group” represents
the consolidated group of TUI AG and its direct and indirect investments. Additionally, the unaudited condensed
consolidated interim financial statements of TUI AG are referred to as “Interim Financial Statements”, the
unaudited condensed consolidated income statement of TUI AG is referred to as “income statement”, the unaudited
condensed consolidated statement of financial position of TUI AG is referred to as “statement of financial
position”, the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income of TUI AG is referred to as
“statement of comprehensive income” and the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity of
TUI AG is referred to as “statement of changes in equity”.

 

The Interim Financial Statements cover the period from 1 October 2022 to 31 March 2023. The Interim Financial
Statements are prepared in euros. Unless stated otherwise, all amounts are stated in million euros (€m). TUI
Group’s results generally also reflect the significant seasonal swing in tourism between the winter and summer
travel months.

 

The Interim Financial Statements were approved for publication by the Executive Board of TUI AG on 8 May 2023.

 

Accounting principles

Declaration of compliance

The consolidated interim financial report for the period ended 31 March 2023 comprise the Interim Financial
Statements and the Interim Management Report in accordance with section 115 of the German Securities Trading Act
(WpHG).

 

The Interim Financial Statements were prepared in conformity with the International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS) of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the relevant interpretations of the
IFRS Interpretation Committee (IFRS IC) for interim financial reporting applicable in the European Union.

 

In accordance with IAS 34, the Interim Financial Statements are published in a condensed form compared with the
consolidated annual financial statements and should therefore be read in combination with TUI Group’s
consolidated financial statements for financial year 2022. The Interim Financial Statements were reviewed by the
Group’s auditor.

 

Going concern reporting in accordance with the UK Corporate Governance Code

The TUI Group covers its day-to-day working capital requirements through cash on hand, balances with and
borrowings from banks. TUI Group's net debt (financial debt plus lease liabilities less cash and cash
equivalents and less short-term interest-bearing cash investments) as of 31 March 2023 was €4.2bn (as at 30
September 2022 €3.4bn).

The global travel restrictions to contain COVID-19 have had a continuous negative impact on the Group's earnings
and liquidity development since the end of March 2020. Currently, TUI Group is only marginally effected by the
negative financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

To cover the resulting liquidity needs, the Group has carried out various financing measures in the financial
years 2020 to 2022, which, in addition to three capital increases, the use of the banking and capital markets
and cash inflows from the sale of assets, also include financing measures from the Federal Republic of Germany
in the form of a KfW credit line initially totalling €2.85bn, an option bond from the German Economic
Stabilisation Fund (WSF) totalling €150m and two silent participations from the WSF initially totalling
€1.091bn.

 

In financial year 2022, TUI reduced KfW's credit line to €2.1bn in various steps. In addition, 913 of the 1,500
bonds with warrants issued to WSF were redeemed and the Silent Participation II of the WSF of €671.0m was repaid
in full ahead of schedule.

 

The financing measures are described in detail in the annual reports for the past three financial years.

 

As at 31 March 2023, TUI Group’s revolving credit facilities totalled €3.74bn. They have a term until summer
2024 and comprised the following

 

  • €1.64bn credit line from 20 private banks (incl. €190m guarantee line)
  • €2.1bn KfW credit line.

 

With regard to the KfW credit lines, it was agreed that TUI AG would use 50% of individual cash inflows
exceeding €50m, for example from capital measures or disposals of assets or companies, to reduce the financing
granted to TUI AG to bridge the effects of COVID-19; there is no maximum limit.

 

TUI AG’s €1.64bn credit line from private banks and KfW credit line are subject to compliance with certain
financial target values (covenants) for debt coverage and interest coverage, the review of which is carried out
on the basis of the last four reported quarters at the end of the financial year or the half-year of a financial
year. Against the backdrop of the ongoing pressures from the COVID-19 pandemic, the review has only been resumed
in September 2022 and TUI was in full compliance. In addition, higher limits are to be applied on the first two
cut-off dates before normalised limits have to be complied with from September 2023.

 

On 13 December 2022, TUI has concluded a new agreement with the WSF on the repayment of stabilization measures
(“Repayment Agreement”). This agreement regulates the intended complete termination of the stabilization
measures granted by the WSF by means of a right of the Company (i) to repayment of the contribution made by the
WSF as a silent partner in January 2021 in the nominal amount of currently €420m (“Silent Participation I”) and
(ii) to repurchase the warrant-linked bond 2020/2026 (“Warrant Bond”) issued by the Company to WSF in the
remaining amount of €58.7m as well as the 58,674,899 option rights (“Warrants”) originally attached to the
warrant bond. In addition, the Repayment Agreement regulates the implementation of capital measures for the
purpose of refinancing the aforementioned measures.

 

In the interim financial statements as at 31 March 2023, Silent Participation I to be repurchased from WSF
subject to receipt of the proceeds from the capital increase resolved on 24 March 2023 and the option rights are
carried as liabilities in accordance with IAS 32.

In February 2023, TUI AG implemented the ten-for-one reverse stock split previously resolved by the 2023 AGM in
accordance with the provisions of the Economic Stabilisation Acceleration Act. As a result, the Company's share
capital declined from €1.785bn to around €179m. The corresponding reduction amount of around €1.606bn was
transferred to the company's capital reserves.

 

In accordance with the repayment agreement with the WSF, the Executive Board of TUI AG resolved a capital
increase with subscription rights of €1.8bn with the approval of the Supervisory Board on 24 March 2023. For the
fully subscribed capital increase, 328,910,448 new shares were offered at a subscription ratio of 8:3 and a
subscription price of €5.55. The subscription period for the new shares ended on 17 April 2023.

 

Following receipt of the proceeds from the capital increase on 24 April 2023, Silent Participation I and the
around 56.8m warrants held by the WSF as well as the outstanding 587 of the 2020/2026 bonds with warrants were
fully redeemed. For Silent Participation I and the 2023 coupon payable on it, a redemption price of €651.6m was
paid. €30.8m were used for the repurchase of the warrants and further €61.9m for the early redemption of the 587
bonds with a nominal value of €58.7m, including accrued interest of €3.2m.

 

At the same time, the early repayment penalty for Silent Participation II of €5.7m, agreed with the WSF in April
2022, became due. TUI has thus terminated and repaid all stabilisation measures of the WSF.

 

In summary, the capital increase, the repurchase of Silent Participation I and the warrants, which are presented
as repurchase of equity instruments on the balance sheet, and the repurchase of the bonds and the early
repayment penalty, which are presented within current financial liabilities, have the following effects on the
balance of equity and liabilities before capital increase and repurchase respectively:

Moreover, TUI AG reduced the volume of the KfW credit facility from €2.1bn to €1.1bn following completion of the
capital increase.

 

The capital increase and the substantial reduction in government financing enable a significant improvement in
the TUI Group's credit ratios and reduce current interest costs, allowing TUI to focus on growth and further
market recovery. In the wake of the capital increase and the resulting improvement in balance sheet ratios, the
rating agency Standard & Poors raised TUI's credit rating from B- to B (outlook positive).

 

Contact restriction measures and travel restrictions were gradually eased in most countries in the first months
of the calendar year 2022 and business was fully resumed in all segments. The booking momentum for the 2023
financial year remains encouraging. Based on past trends, the Executive Board expects capacity to almost reach
pre-crisis levels in summer 2023.

 

From the Executive Board’s perspective TUI Group currently has and will continue to have sufficient funds,
resulting from both borrowings and operating cash flows, to meet its payment obligations and to ensure the going
concern of the company accordingly in the foreseeable future. In this context, the Executive Board assumes that
the credit lines expiring in summer 2024 will be refinanced. Therefore, as at 31 March 2023, the Executive Board
does not identify any material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as
a going concern.

 

The Executive Board does not see risks that could jeopardise the company's existence and assumes that compliance
with covenants as of 30 September 2023 and 31 March 2024 is not at risk.

 

Nevertheless, the general price increase in recent months and a resulting reduced private budget could dampen
customer demand. In addition, a permanent increase in fuel costs as well as services, especially those that we
purchase in USD, could adversely affect the development.

 

In accordance with Regulation 30 of the UK Corporate Governance Code, the Executive Board confirms that,

in its opinion, it is appropriate to prepare the consolidated interim financial statements on a going concern
basis.

 

Accounting and measurement methods

The preparation of the Interim Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and judgements that
affect the reported values of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the balance sheet date and the
reported values of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

 

Both the recent development of the business and current trading for the summer programme have confirmed the
business performance guidance provided by TUI at the end of financial year 2022. Additionally a risk assessment
was performed for the Group’s assets to identify any indications of impairment as at 31 March 2023. On the basis
of that assessment, TUI does not see any indication that the Group’s assets may generally be impaired.

 

The accounting and measurement methods adopted in the preparation of the Interim Financial Statements as at 31
March 2023 are materially consistent with those followed in preparing the annual consolidated financial
statements for the financial year ended 30 September 2022, except for the initial application of new or amended
standards, as outlined below.

 

The income taxes were recorded based on the best estimate of the weighted average tax rate that is expected for
the whole financial year.

 

Newly applied standards

Since the beginning of financial year 2023, TUI Group has initially applied the following standards, amended by
the IASB and endorsed by the EU, on a mandatory basis:

Key judgements, assumptions and estimates

 

Recognition, measurement and disclosure of the contingent settlement provision to repurchase own equity
instruments

On 13 December 2022, an agreement was concluded with the WSF, entitling TUI to repurchase its own equity
instruments ‘Silent Participation I’ with a nominal value of €420m and the approx. 58.7m warrants with a
carrying amount of €34.5m, contingent on receiving the proceeds from a capital increase carried out for
refinancing purposes. Upon occurrence of that condition, TUI has contractually committed to repurchasing the
equity instruments held by the WSF as well as the 587 partial bonds with a nominal value of €58.7m, reported
under financial liabilities, against payment of the repurchase price. Accounting for the agreement required
judgements with respect to the recognition, measurement and presentation of the repurchase liability.

 

On 24 March 2023, the Executive Board resolved, with the consent of the Supervisory Board, to implement a
capital increase by launching a rights issue from Authorized Capital 2022/1 and Authorized Capital 2022/2. Since
that date, in our view, the occurrence or non-occurrence of the condition for the repurchase of own equity
instruments has been beyond TUI's control. In accordance with IAS 32, a financial liability therefore had to be
recognized as of 24 March 2023 at the present value of the repurchase amount of the equity instruments, and
Silent Participation I and the warrants had to be reclassified from equity.

 

As the transaction has to be accounted for as a repurchase of own equity instruments in accordance with IAS 32,
the repurchase liability had to be measured in equity prior to the reclassification of the carrying amounts of
€454.5m. As a result, revenue reserves decreased by the difference versus the present value of the repurchase
price of €222.8m as at 24 March 2023.

 

The nature of the repurchase liability is relevant for an understanding of TUI's net assets, financial position
and results of operations as of 31 March 2023. The repurchase liability is material and differs in nature from
TUI’s other financial liabilities due to the mechanism of IAS 32.23 in combination with IAS 32.25. The
repurchase is therefore presented separately as ‘Liabilities from the repurchase of equity instruments’. In
accordance with IAS 32.23, the carrying amount of the repurchase obligation in respect of Silent Participation I
and the warrants needs would have been reclassified back to equity if TUI had not received the proceeds from the
resolved capital increase of €1.8bn. The associated measure ‘Capital increase for the purpose of terminating the
WSF stabilisation measures’ results in an increase in equity of around €1.8bn, the repayment of the repurchase
liability and a reduction in net debt in the amount of the remaining part of the capital increase. The proceeds
from the resolved capital increase must not yet be recognised in the balance sheet as of 31 March 2023.

 

Group of consolidated companies

The Interim Financial Statements include all material subsidiaries over which TUI AG has control. Control
requires TUI AG to have decision-making power over the relevant activities, be exposed to variable returns or
have entitlements regarding the returns, and can affect the level of those variable returns through its
decision-making power.

 

The Interim Financial Statements as of 31 March 2023 comprised a total of 272 subsidiaries of TUI AG.

 9. Goodwill

Goodwill decreased by €15.7m to €2,954.9m due to foreign exchange translation. The following table presents a
breakdown of goodwill by cash generating unit (CGU) at carrying amounts.

 

Goodwill per cash generating unit

Total                 2,954.9       2,970.6

  

As at 31 March 2023 a risk assessment of the capitalised goodwill was carried out based on updated information
for the current financial year. As part of this assessment, there were no indications that led to a requirement
to perform impairment testing of the capitalised goodwill. In this context, please refer to the section
‘Accounting and measurement methods’.

 

10. Property, plant and equipment

Compared to 30 September 2022 property, plant and equipment increased by €79.1m to €3,480.0m. Additions of
€270.7m included €113.3m of acquisitions in the Hotels & Resorts segment. The construction of a new hotel on
Mauritius, the acquisition of land on Jamaica and the renovation of hotels in Mexico and Cape Verde led to
additions in the Riu Group totalling €100.3m. In addition, advance payments of €59.7m were made for the future
delivery of additional aircraft. Additions to assets under construction of €34.2m and to payments on account of
€8.6m relate to carry out maintenance work on cruise ships. Further additions related to the purchase of
aircraft engines at €17.0m and of aircraft spare parts at €12.8m. The reclassification of four aircraft from
right-of-use assets was the result of the exercise of existing purchase options and led to an increase in
property, plant and equipment of €68.8m.

 

On the other hand, depreciation and amortisation of €127.2m led to a decrease in property, plant and equipment.
Furthermore, plant and equipment decreased by €74.3m due to foreign exchange translation. In the first quarter,
the sale of two aircraft engines led to a reclassification of €31.3m to assets held for sale. In this context,
please refer to the section ‘Assets held for sale’. Disposals of €28.6m led to a further reduction of property,
plant and equipment and are mainly caused by the disposal of advance payments for future delivery of aircraft
(€24.6m). Due to sale and leaseback transactions, the disposal of these advance payments led to the addition of
right-of-use assets.

 

11. Right-of-use assets

Compared to 30 September 2022 right-of-use assets decreased by €301.8m to €2,669.7m. Depreciation charged of
€236.7m led to a decrease in right-of-use assets. Furthermore, the foreign exchange translation led to a
decrease in right-of-use assets of €162.2m. The reclassification of four aircraft into property, plant and
equipment led to a further reduction of right-of-use assets by €68.8m (in this context, we refer to the section
‘Property, plant and equipment’). Disposals also reduced the right-of-use assets by €6.5m.

 

On the other hand, modifications and reassessments of existing lease contracts increased the right-of-use assets
by €102.8m. The increase is mainly due to contract extensions related to leased aircraft (€73.3m), leased travel
agencies (€13.4m) and hotel leases (€12.6). Furthermore, additions totalled €71.9m, of which €60.3m were
attributable to the delivery of two new aircraft and two aircraft engines due to sale and leaseback
transactions.

 

The corresponding liabilities are explained in the section ‘Lease Liabilities’.

 

12. Trade and other receivables

The decrease in current trade and other receivables results from reduced security deposits issued to secure
advance payment from customers.

 

13. Assets held for sale

As at 31 March 2023, the shares in the non-consolidated investment Peakwork AG with a value of €24.0m were
classified as held for sale. The shares were sold in April 2023. The purchase price payment of €24.0m was made
in April 2023.

 

During the period under review, two aircraft engines with a total value of €31.0m were classified as held for
sale. The sale of the aircraft engines took place in February 2023.

 

As at the end of the prior financial year, the building at Jet Set House (Crawley) of TUI Airways Limited was
classified as held for sale (€2.7m). The disposal transaction was completed on 3 October 2022. The purchase
price payment of £6.5m was made on 3 October 2022.

 

14. Pension provisions and similar obligations

The pension provisions for unfunded plans and underfunded plans increased by €22.6m to €623.9m compared to the
end of the previous financial year.

 

The overfunding of funded pension plans reported in other non-financial assets decreased by €46.6m from €163.4m
as at 30 September 2022 to €116.8m as at 31 March 2023.

 

This development is attributable in particular to remeasurement effects due to increased discount rates in the
UK compared to 30 September 2022.

 

15. Liabilities from the repurchase of equity instruments

Liabilities from the repurchase of equity instruments relate to the contingent settlement provision to repay
Silent Participation I held by the WSF and the approx. 58.7m warrants on TUI AG shares. As of 31 March 2023, the
liability from the repurchase of equity instruments is carried at amortised cost of €678.4m. Please refer to
section ‘Key judgements, assumptions and estimates’.

 

16. Financial liabilities

Non-current financial liabilities increased by €914.4m to €2,645.8m compared to 30 September 2022. This increase
was primarily attributable to an increase in liabilities to banks related to credit lines with maturity in July
2024 of €880.9m.

 

The main financing instrument is a syndicated revolving credit facility (RCF) between TUI AG and the existing
bank-ing syndicate which from 2020, included the KfW. The volume of this revolving credit facility totals
€3.555bn at 31 March 2023.

 

At 31 March 2023, the amounts drawn under the revolving credit facilities totalled €1,437.8m (30 September 2022
€562.0m).

 

Current financial liabilities increased by €28.5m to €348.4m at 31 March 2023 compared to €319.9m at 30
September 2022.

 

For more details on the terms, conditions and the reductions of the credit lines as well as the redemption of
the bond with warrants, please refer to the section ‘Going Concern Reporting under the UK Corporate Governance
Code’.

 

17. Lease liabilities

Compared to 30 September 2022, the lease liabilities decreased by €372.9m to €2,834.6m. Payments of €441.8m led
to a decline in lease liabilities. Furthermore, lease liabilities decreased by €194.4m due to foreign exchange
translation. On the other hand, changes and remeasurements of existing leases resulted in an increase in lease
liabilities of €98.5m, of which €73.2m mainly relate to lease extensions on aircraft. In addition, the lease
liabilities increased by €85.1m due to interest charges. Furthermore, additions from newly leased contracts led
to an increase in lease liabilities of €80.0m, of which €50.2m relate to the addition of two new aircraft and
€18.4m to the addition of two aircraft engines.

 

18. Other financial liabilities

The other financial liabilities include touristic advance payments received for tours cancelled because of
COVID-19 restrictions of €13.2m (as at 30 September 2022 €16.7m), for which immediate cash refund options exist
and which have to be repaid shortly if the customer opts for payment. Further obligations from COVID-19 related
cancelled holidays do not exist.

 

19. Changes in equity

Overall, equity decreased by €1,566.8m when compared to 30 September 2022, from €645.7m to €-921.1m.

 

For the Silent Participation I, a coupon for financial year 2022 in the amount of €16.8m was paid to the WSF in
December 2022 and reported in line Coupon on silent participation.

 

In accordance with the Annual General Meeting resolution on 14 February 2023, TUI AG's share capital of
€1,785.2m, divided into 1,785,205,853 no-par value registered shares with a proportionate amount of the share
capital of €1.00 per no-par value share, was reduced by combining the shares in a ratio of 10:1. The capital
stock was therefore reduced in February by €1,606.7m to €178.5m by means of a transfer to the capital reserve.
The capital reserve increased accordingly by €1,606.7m.

 

With the resolution to carry out a rights issue in March 2023, Silent Participation I was revalued at its
carrying amount of €420m and warrants issued to WSF were revalued at their carrying amount of €34.5m in equity
at the present value of the repurchase price. The difference between the carrying amounts and the present values
reduced retained earnings by €222.8m. Following their valuation, Silent Participation I and the warrants were
reclassified to current liabilities as ‘Liabilities from the repurchase of equity instruments’. For detailed
explanations, please refer to section ‘Key judgements, assumptions and estimates’.

 

In the first six months of the financial year 2023, TUI AG paid no dividend (previous year: no dividend).

 

The Group loss in the first six months of the financial year 2023 is mainly caused by the seasonality of the
tourism business.

 

The fair value profit of €23.7m on investments in equity instruments designated as at Fair value through other
comprehensive income contains a write-up without effect on profit and loss in the amount of €23.2m for the
shares of the non-consolidated investment Peakwork AG which was classified as held for sale as at 31 March 2023.
For detailed explanations, please refer to section ‘Assets held for sale’.

 

The proportion of gains and losses from hedging instruments for effective hedging of future cash flows includes
an amount of €-176.2m (pre‑tax) carried under other comprehensive income in equity outside profit and loss
(previous year €61.7m).

 

The revaluation of pension obligations is also recognised under other comprehensive income directly in equity
without effect on profit and loss.

The amounts shown in the column ‘carrying amount’ (as shown in the balance sheet) in the tables above can differ
from those in the other columns of a particular row since the latter include all financial instruments. That is
the latter columns include financial instruments which are part of disposal groups according to IFRS 5. In the
balance sheet, financial instruments, which are part of a disposal group, are shown as separate items. If such
financial instruments are included, further details on these financial instruments are explained in the section
‘Assets held for sale’.

 

The instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (OCI) within the other financial
assets class are investments in companies based on medium to long-term strategic objectives. Recording all
short-term fluctuations in the fair value in the income statement would not be in line with TUI Group's
strategy; these equity instruments were, therefore, designated as at fair value through OCI.

 

In the period under review, the fair values of current other receivables, current other financial assets and
current liabilities to banks were determined in line with the past financial year, taking account of yield
curves and the respective credit risk premium (credit spread). As a result, the assumption that the carrying
amount approximately corresponds to the fair value due to the short remaining term has been adjusted to the
current market conditions due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

The fair values of non-current trade receivables and other receivables correspond to the present values of the
cash flows associated with the assets, taking account of current interest parameters which reflect market and
counterparty-related changes in terms and expectations. In the case of cash and cash equivalents, current trade
receivables, current trade payables and other financial liabilities the carrying amount approximates the fair
value due to the short remaining term.

 

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted TUI's business operations, causing a strong increase in TUI's
credit risk premiums. The significant increase in TUI’s credit risk has a direct impact on the effectiveness of
hedging relationships according to IAS 39 and explicitly on the retrospective hedge effectiveness test, because
when calculating retrospective effectiveness, the credit risk is included in the derivative instrument entered
into with the counterparty, but not in the hypothetical derivative. As a result, fuel price, interest rate and
currency hedges had to be de-designated as they no longer met the effectiveness requirements of IAS 39. All
future changes in the value of these de-designated hedges are also taken to the cost of sales respectively in
the financial result in the case of interest rate hedges in the income statement through profit and loss and
recognised as other derivative financial instruments from the date of the termination of the cash flow hedge
accounting.

For all fuel price hedges contracted from 1 January 2023, the retrospective effectiveness will be determined,
based on regression analysis. For fuel price hedges contracted until 31 December 2022, the dollar offset method
will continue to be applied. This change in method allows hedge relationships to be presented more
appropriately, so that as at 31 March 2023, no newly contracted fuel price hedges have to be de-designated.
Furthermore, from 31 March 2023, the designation of the hedged item for foreign currency hedges will be
evaluated on a seasonal basis, while in the previous periods it was done on a monthly basis. Due to the COVID-19
pandemic and its impact on the business operations of TUI, the seasonal consideration of the hedge ratio of
foreign currency hedges was temporarily suspended. The resumption of seasonal consideration corresponds to the
risk profile of the operational group companies for which these hedge instruments are contracted.

As at 31 March 2023, the fair value of these reclassified fuel price hedges totalled €-7.4m at a nominal volume
of €135.7m, while the fair value of the interest rate hedges amounted to €+4.1m at a nominal volume of €237.9m
and the fair value of foreign currency hedges totalled €+2.9m at a nominal volume of €36.9m.

Fair value measurement

The table below presents the fair values of recurring, non-recurring and other financial instruments measured at
fair value in line with the underlying measurement level. The individual measurement levels have been defined as
follows in line with the inputs:

 

  • Level 1: (unadjusted) quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
  • Level 2: inputs for the measurement other than quoted market prices included within Level 1 that are
    observable in the market for the asset or liability, either directly (as quoted prices) or indirectly
    (derivable from quoted prices).
  • Level 3: inputs for the measurement of the asset or liability not based on observable market data.

At the end of every reporting period, TUI Group checks whether there are any reasons for reclassification to or
from one of the measurement levels. Financial assets and financial liabilities are generally transferred out of
Level 1 into Level 2 if the liquidity and trading activity no longer indicate an active market. The opposite
situation applies to potential transfers out of Level 2 into Level 1. In the reporting period, there were no
transfers between Level 1 and Level 2.

 

Reclassifications from Level 3 to Level 2 or Level 1 are made if observable market price quotations become
available for the asset or liability concerned. In the reporting period there were no other transfers from or to
Level 3. TUI Group records transfers from or to Level 3 at the date of the obligating event or occasion
triggering the transfer.

 

Level 1 financial instruments

The fair value of financial instruments for which an active market exists is based on quoted prices at the
reporting date. An active market exists if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange,
dealer, broker, pricing service or regulatory agency and these prices represent actual and regularly occurring
market transactions on an arm’s length basis. These financial instruments are classified as Level 1. The fair
values correspond to the nominal amounts multiplied by the quoted prices at the reporting date. Level 1
financial instruments primarily comprise shares in listed companies classified as at fair value through OCI and
bonds issued classified as financial liabilities at amortised cost.

 

Level 2 financial instruments

The fair values of financial instruments not traded in an active market, e.g., over-the-counter (OTC)
derivatives, are determined by means of valuation techniques. These valuation techniques make maximum use of
observable market data and minimise the use of Group-specific assumptions. If all essential inputs for the
determination of the fair value of an instrument are observable, the instrument is classified as Level 2.

 

If one or several key inputs are not based on observable market data, the instrument is classified as Level 3.

 

The following specific valuation techniques are used to measure financial instruments:

  • For OTC bonds, debt components of warrants and convertible bonds, liabilities to banks, promissory notes and
    other non-current financial liabilities as well as for current other receivables, current financial
    liabilities and non-current trade and other receivables, the fair value is determined as the present value
    of future cash flows, taking account of observable yield curves and the respective credit spread, which
    depends on the credit rating.
  • The fair value of over-the-counter derivatives is determined by means of appropriate calculation methods,
    e.g. by discounting the expected future cash flows. The forward prices of forward transactions are based on
    the spot or cash prices, taking account of forward premiums and discounts. The fair values of optional
    hedges are calculated based on option pricing models. The fair values determined on the basis of the Group’s
    own systems are periodically compared with fair value confirmations of the external counterparties.
  • Other valuation techniques, e.g., discounting future cash flows, are used to determine the fair values of
    other financial instruments.

 

Level 3 financial instruments

Evaluation process

The fair value of financial instruments in level 3 has been determined by TUI Group's financial department using
the discounted cash flow method. This involves the market data and parameters required for measurement being
compiled or validated. Non-observable input parameters are reviewed based on internally available information
and updated if necessary.

 

In principle, the unobservable input parameters relate to the following parameters: the (estimated) EBITDA
margin is in a range between -5.9 % and 27.3 % (30 September 2022: 8.3 % and 24.0 %). The constant growth rate
is 1 % (30 September 2022: 1 %). The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is 10.6 % (30 September 2022: 9.5
%-11.3 %). Due to materiality, no detailed figures have been provided. With the exception of the WACC, there is
a positive correlation between the input factors and the fair value.

 

The decrease of the fair values of the Other financial assets in Level 3 results from a valuation effect in the
amount of €23,7m, the reclassification of shares in Peakwork AG to assets held for sale (€24.0m) and foreign
exchange rate effects in the amount of €-0.4m.

 

The Other receivables according to IFRS 9 in Level 3 at a carrying amount of €36.3m as at 31 March 2023 (as at
30 September 2022 €106.5m) relate to a variable purchase price receivable from the sale of Riu Hotels S.A.,
carried as a financial instrument in the measurement category at fair value through profit and loss. The fair
value is determined using a probability calculation for the future gross operating profit, taking account of
contractual entitlements to an additional purchase price demand and an appropriate risk-adjusted discount rate
(3.69 %, 30 September 2022: 1.99 to 2.87 %). Gross operating profit is defined as total revenue minus operating
expenses. The cash flows from the contractual claims set out in the underlying Memorandum of Understanding
depend solely on a number of contractually determined Riu hotels delivering the gross operating profit for
calendar year 2023.

 

The variable purchase price payment varies as a function of delivering the contractually fixed gross operating
profit. The maximum amount is limited. At least 90 % of the target gross operating profit contractually agreed
for 2023 has to be achieved in order to generate a variable purchase price payment. If the 90 % target is not
met, no further purchase price payment will be made. The maximum purchase price payment totals €39.7m. Due to
different expectations regarding target achievement, potential purchase price payments vary between €0 and
€39.7m.

 

TUI expects the hotels concerned to deliver around 100 % to 105 % of cumulative gross operating profit in
calendar year 2023. The current planning for the relevant hotels (input parameters) is regularly reviewed by the
responsible accounting staff. 

 

Sensitivity analysis shows that an increase in the hotels’ gross operating profit of 10 % would result in a
change in the present value of the additional purchase price receivable of €2.0m (as at 30 September 2022
€2.0m), while a reduction in gross operating profit of 10 % would result in a change in the present value of
€-24.6m (as at 30 September 2022 €-24.4m). An interest rate shift of +/-100 basis points would alter the present
value of the purchase price receivable by €0.4m (as at 30 September 2022 €0.5m).

 

Effects on results

The effects of remeasuring financial assets carried at fair value through OCI as well as the effective portions
of changes in fair values of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are listed in the statement of changes
in equity.

 

21. Contingent liabilities

As at 31 March 2023, contingent liabilities amounted to €85.4m (as at 30 September 2022 €93.5m). They are mainly
attributable to the granting of guarantees for the benefit of hotel and cruises activities and the granting of
guarantees for contingent liabilities from aircraft leasing agreements. The contingent liabilities are reported
at an amount representing the best estimate of the expenditure required to meet the potential obligation at the
balance sheet date.

 

22. Other financial commitments

Total                                                     2,335.4       2,420.6

  

As at 31 March 2023 order commitments in respect of capital expenditure decreased by €86.6m as against

30 September 2022.

 

The decrease in order commitments is largely attributed to a decline in aircraft obligations. Delivery of
aircraft and the effects of foreign exchange for order commitments denominated in non-functional currencies is
to a greater extent partially offset by new aircraft orders undertaken in the period. In addition, new projects
for hotel development were undertaken by Hotels & Resorts segment.

 

23. Note to the unaudited condensed consolidated Cash Flow Statement

The cash flow statement shows the flow of cash and cash equivalents on the basis of a separate presentation of
cash inflows and outflows from operating, investing and financing activities. The effects of changes in the
group of consolidated companies and of foreign currency translation are eliminated.

 

In the period under review, cash and cash equivalents decreased by €161.0m to €1,575.9m.

 

In H1 2023, the cash outflow from operating activities totalled €284.4m (H1 2022 cash outflow of €439.8m),

including an inflow of €13.8m (H1 2022 €2.8m) from interest payments and €2.8m (H1 2022 €0.1m) from dividends
received from companies measured at equity. Income tax payments resulted in a cash outflow of €50.4m (H1 2022
€10.1m).

 

The total cash outflow from investing activities totalled €219.4m (H1 2022 cash outflow of €136.5m). This amount
included a cash outflow for capital expenditure on property, plant and equipment and intangibles of €364.8m. The
Group recorded a cash inflow of €74.1m from the divestment of property, plant and equipment and intangible
assets. TUI recorded a cash inflow of €70.7m from the earn-out payment in connection with sale of the stakes in
Riu Hotels S.A. and €3.0m from the sale of Karisma Hotels Caribbean S.A., effected in financial year 2021. A
cash inflow of €2.1m resulted from the sale of money market funds, €3.5m was spent on the purchase.

 

The cash inflow from financing activities totalled €355.6m (H1 2022 cash outflow of €363.6m).

 

In the financial year under review, TUI AG increased its syndicated credit facility by €878.8m. Other TUI Group
companies took out loans worth €176.1m. A cash outflow of €453.7m resulted from the redemption of financial
liabilities, including an amount of €362.1m for lease liabilities. Interest payments resulted in a cash outflow
of €227.8m. TUI AG paid an amount of €16.8m as coupon on Silent Participation I of the German Economic
Stabilisation Fund, carried as a dividend.

 

In addition, cash and cash equivalents decreased by €12.8m (H1 2022 increase by €3.2m) due to changes in
exchange rates.

 

As at 31 March 2023 cash and cash equivalents worth €646.9m were subject to restrictions (as at 30 September
2022 €526.1m).

 

On 30 September 2016, TUI AG entered into a long-term agreement to close the gap between the obligations and the
fund assets of defined benefit pension plans in the UK. At the balance sheet date, an amount of €67.6m was
deposited as security within a bank account (as at 30 September 2022 €66.1m). TUI Group can only use this amount
of cash and cash equivalents if it provides alternative collateral.

 

Furthermore, an amount of €116.1m (as at 30 September 2022 €116.1m) related to cash collateral received, which
was deposited with a Belgian subsidiary without acknowledgement of debt by the Belgian tax authorities in
financial year 2013 in respect of long-standing litigation over VAT refunds for the period from 2001 to 2011.
The purpose was to suspend the accrual of interest for both parties. In order to collateralise a potential
repayment, the Belgian government was granted a bank guarantee. Due to the bank guarantee, TUI’s ability to
dispose of the cash and cash equivalents is restricted.

 

The remaining €463.2m (as at 30 September 2022 €343.9m) relate to cash and cash equivalents to be deposited due
to statutory or regulatory requirements, mainly in order to secure customer deposits and credit card payables.

*Due to the re-segmentation of Future Markets from All other segments to Hotels & Resorts, TUI Musement and
Central Region in the current financial year, previous periods have been adjusted.

  

The segment data shown are based on regular internal reporting to the Executive Board. Since the 2020 fiscal
year, the internationally more commonly used earnings measure "underlying EBIT" is used for value-based
management.

Accordingly, this represents the segment performance indicator within the meaning of IFRS 8.

 

We define the EBIT in underlying EBIT as earnings before interest, income taxes and result from the measurement
of the Group's interest rate hedging instruments. Impairment losses on goodwill are by definition included in
EBIT.

 

Underlying EBIT has been adjusted to exclude certain items which, due to their size and frequency of occurrence,
make it difficult or distort the assessment of the operating performance of the business areas and the Group.
These items include gains and losses on the disposal of financial assets, significant gains and losses on the
disposal of assets and significant restructuring and integration expenses. In addition, all effects from
purchase price allocations, incidental acquisition costs and contingent purchase price payments are adjusted.
Impairment losses on goodwill have also been eliminated in the reconciliation to underlying EBIT.

 

In H1 2023, underlying EBIT includes results of investments accounted for using the equity method of €74.0m
(H1 2022 €-35.6m). For a split up by segments, please refer to Note 6 ’Share of result of investments accounted
for using the equity method’.

Net income for separately disclosed items of €1.7m included €3m income from the release of restructuring
provisions no longer needed in Northern Region, €2m income from the release of restructuring provisions no
longer needed in Western Region and €1m release of restructuring provisions no longer needed in TUI Musement for
the termination of the Tantur / TUI Russia business in the previous financial year, partly offset by €3m
restructuring expenses in All Other Segments and €1m subsequent purchase price adjustments in the Hotels &
Resorts segment.

 

Net income for the separately disclosed items of €3.3m in H1 2022 include income of €22m from the sale of the
shares in Nordotel S.A, fully consolidated in the Hotels & Resorts segment, to Grupotel S.A., a joint venture of
the TUI Group and €2m from the reversal of an impairment on the Group’s office building. In addition,
restructuring expenses in the Central Region (€17m) and All Other Segments (€4m) segments were adjusted.

 

Expenses for purchase price allocations of €12.7m (previous year €14.3m) relate in particular to the scheduled
amortisation of intangible assets from acquisitions made in previous years.

 

25. Related parties

Apart from the subsidiaries included in the Interim Financial Statements, TUI AG, in carrying out its business
activities, maintains direct and indirect relationships with related parties. All transactions with related
parties were executed on an arm’s length basis.

 

Detailed information on related parties is provided under section 50 in the Notes to the consolidated financial
statements 2022.

 

26. Significant transactions after the balance sheet date

The capital increase from authorised capital, resolved by the Executive Board of TUI AG on 24 March 2023, became
effective on 19 April 2023 upon registration with the commercial registers of Berlin and Hanover. The issuance
of 328,910,448 new shares with a proportionate amount of €1 of the share capital caused an increase in
subscribed capital of €328.9m. The difference of €1,498.1m between that amount and the gross proceeds from the
capital increase of €1,827.0m was transferred to the capital reserve. The ancillary costs of the capital
increase, expected to amount to €65.7m, will be offset against the capital reserve.

 

Following receipt of the proceeds from the capital increase on 24 April 2023, Silent Participation I and the
around 56.8m warrants held by the WSF as well as the outstanding 587 of the 2020/2026 bonds with warrants were
fully redeemed. For Silent Participation I and the 2023 coupon payable on it, a redemption price of €651.6m was
paid. €30.8m were used for the repurchase of the warrants and further €61.9m for the early redemption of the 587
bonds with a nominal value of €58.7m, including accrued interest of €3.2m.

 

At the same time, the early repayment penalty for Silent Participation II of €5.7m, agreed with the WSF in April
2022, became due. TUI has thus terminated and repaid all stabilisation measures of the WSF.

 

In summary, the capital increase, the repurchase of Silent Participation I and the warrants, which are presented
as repurchase of equity instruments on the balance sheet, and the repurchase of the bonds and the early
repayment penalty, which are presented within current financial liabilities, have the following effects on the
balance of equity and liabilities before capital increase and repurchase respectively:

Moreover, TUI AG reduced the volume of the KfW credit facility from €2.1bn to €1.1bn following completion of the
capital increase.

 

With repurchase of the Silent Participation I and the warrants the terms and conditions related to them and
which TUI AG has to comply with ceased. Accordingly after the repurchase the WSF is no longer a related party.

 

On 1 May 2023 the associate Sunwing Travel Group Inc., Canada, sold its tourism business in Canada and USA to
the WestJet Group, Canada. The consideration comprised variable components and shares in WestJet Group. The
determination of the fair value of these components have not been finalized yet.

 

 

 

 

 

Responsibility Statement

 

To the best of our knowledge, and in accordance with the applicable reporting principles for interim financial
reporting and in the accordance with (German) principles of proper accounting, the interim consolidated
financial statements give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss
of the Group, and the interim Group management report includes a fair review of the development and performance
of the business and the position of the Group, together with a description of the principal opportunities and
risks associated with the expected development of the Group for the remaining months of the financial year.

Review Report

 

To TUI AG, Berlin/Germany and Hanover/Germany

 

We have reviewed the condensed interim consolidated financial statements – comprising the condensed income
statement, the condensed statement of comprehensive income, the condensed statement of financial position, the
condensed statement of changes in equity, the condensed statement of cash flows as well as selected explanatory
notes to the consolidated financial statements – and the interim Group management report for the period from
1 October 2022 until 31 March 2023 of TUI AG, Berlin and Hanover, which are part of the half-year financial
report under  § 115 WpHG (Wertpapierhandelsgesetz: German Securities Trading Act). The preparation of the
condensed interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with the International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS) applicable to interim financial reporting as adopted by the EU, and of the interim Group
management report in accordance with the requirements of the WpHG applicable to interim Group management reports
is the responsibility of the entity’s executive board. Our responsibility is to issue a review report on the
condensed interim consolidated financial statements and on the interim Group management report based on our
review.

 

We conducted our review of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements and of the interim Group
management report in compliance with the German Generally Accepted Standards for the Review of Financial
Statements promulgated by the Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer (IDW) and in supplementary compliance with the
International Standard on Review Engagements 2410 “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the
Independent Auditor of the Entity”. Those standards require that we plan and perform the review to obtain a
limited level of assurance to preclude through critical evaluation that the condensed interim consolidated
financial statements have not been prepared, in material respects, in accordance with the IFRS applicable to
interim financial reporting as adopted by the EU or that the interim Group management report has not been
prepared, in material respects, in accordance with the requirements of the WpHG applicable to interim Group
management reports. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of personnel of the entity and to analytical
procedures applied to financial data and thus provides less assurance than an audit. Since, in accordance with
our engagement, we have not performed an audit, we do not express an audit opinion.

 

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed interim
consolidated financial statements of TUI AG, Berlin and Hanover, have not been prepared, in material respects,
in accordance with the IFRS applicable to interim financial reporting as adopted by the EU, or that the interim
Group management report has not been prepared, in material respects, in accordance with the requirements of the
WpHG applicable to interim Group management reports.

Cautionary statement regarding forward-looking statements

 

The present Half-Year Financial Report contains various statements relating to TUI Group’s and TUI AG’s future
development. These statements are based on assumptions and estimates. Although we are convinced that these
forward-looking statements are realistic, they are not guarantees of future performance since our assumptions
involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.
Such factors include market fluctuations, the development of world market prices for commodities and exchange
rates or fundamental changes in the economic environment. TUI does not intend to and does not undertake any
obligation to update any forward-looking statements in order to reflect events or developments after the date of
this Report.
