Deutsche Lufthansa AG / Quarter Results 28.07.2010 19:31 Dissemination of an Ad hoc announcement according to § 15 WpHG, transmitted by DGAP - a company of EquityStory AG. The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Lufthansa Group closed the first half of 2010 with revenue of EUR 12.6bn (last year: EUR 10.2bn) and an operating loss of EUR 171m (last year: EUR +8m). The net loss for the period came to EUR 104m (last year: EUR -178m). In the second quarter, the operating result was EUR 159m (last year: EUR 52m) from revenue of EUR 6.9bn (last year: EUR 5.2bn). On the one hand, the result of the first half-year reflects a positive demand trend, above all in the freight and intercontinental passenger businesses. On the other, it includes adverse effects such as rising fuel prices and the first-time consolidation of Austrian Airlines and bmi, as well as non-recurring factors like the extreme winter, the strike by cockpit staff, and airspace closures in April as a result of the volcanic eruption in Iceland. Overall, the momentum behind the performance of the business has further increased the confidence to reach our profitability targets. Lufthansa therefore continues to expect higher revenue. The Executive Board still anticipates an improvement of the operating profit, which on today's estimates should be in line with market expectations. The interim report for the first half of 2010 will be published on 29 July 2010. The information will be available on the internet from 8:00 CET at www.lufthansa.com/investor-relations.
