---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Lufthansa Group closed the financial year 2011 with revenue of EUR
28.7bn (previous year: EUR 26.5bn) and achieved an operating profit of EUR
820m (previous year: EUR 1.0bn). The net result attributable to
shareholders came to EUR -13m (previous year: EUR 1.1bn). It includes a
result of discontinued operations of EUR -285m, which reflects current
losses at British Midland Ltd. and valuation effects linked to its
disposal. The figures for the previous year have been adjusted in line with
the presentation for the reporting year in accordance with IFRS 5.

Despite the negative net result and a loss for the year in the HGB
financial statements for Deutsche Lufthansa AG (German GAAP), the Executive
Board is proposing, as an exception to the dividend policy, to pay a
dividend of EUR 0.25 per share. This is intended to let shareholders
participate in the successful operating performance in the reporting year
in a way that is justifiable to the financial profile.

The financial statements and full annual report for 2011 will be published
on 15 March 2012. The information will be available on the internet from
8:00 a.m. CET at www.lufthansa.com/investor-relations.
