Continuing operations

In the second quarter of 2008, turnover by the TUI Group’s continuing operations was 27.3% up year-on-year. Accumulated turnover for the first half of 2008 also rose by 31.0% year-on-year.

At € 4.7 billion, turnover by tourism grew by 28.3% year-on-year in the second quarter of 2008. This growth was driven by all tourism segments, with TUI Travel in particular recording a significant rise in turnover due to changes in consolidation. Adjusted for the first-time consolidation of the First Choice activities, turnover by TUI Travel declined by 4.5% year-on-year. In the first half of 2008, turnover climbed 32.0% year-on-year; ad­justed for the turnover portion of First Choice, it decreased by 1.3%.

Discontinued operation

The discontinued operation, which comprised the reclassified container shipping activities including the interests in container terminals, recorded a 2.6% rise in turnover to € 1.5 billion in the second quarter of 2008. In the first half of 2008, the reclassified container shipping operations posted year-on-year an 2.2% increase in turnover to € 3.0 billion. This growth was primarily driven by the rise in freight rate levels year-on-year and slight volume growth opposed to the US dollar exchange rate which declined by 13.2% against the euro.

Group

Overall, turnover by the TUI Group’s divisions grew by 20.3% to € 6.3 billion year-on-year in the second quarter of 2008. At € 11.3 billion, turnover for the first half of the year was 22.0% up year-on-year.

Continuing operations

Earnings before adjustment for one-off effects of the continuing operations tourism and central operations (EBITA) declined by € 121 million to € -131 million in the second quarter of 2008. This included in particular charges of € 158 million in total from the strategic realignment of TUI Travel’s airline activities outlined above. Due to the charges mentioned above as well as due to the first-time consolidation of First Choice, accumulated earnings for the first half of the year declined by € 197 million. Adjusted for these one-off effects, operating earnings (underlying EBITA by divisions) rose correspondingly by 236.7% to € 101 million in the second quarter and by 37.9% to € - 113 million in the first half of 2008.

At € - 146 million, earnings by tourism dropped by € 157 million year-on-year, mainly due to the first-time consolidation of First Choice and the charges incurred in connection with the strategic realignment of TUI Travel’s airline activities. Earnings for the second quarter of 2008 included one-off effects of current restructuring programmes of € 2 million, one-off income of € 2 million and charges incurred in the wake of the merger between First Choice and TUI’s tourism entities totalling € 228 million. These charges related to restructuring expenses of € 188 million, purchase price allocations of € 12 million and one-off integration costs of € 28 million. Earnings in the second quarter of 2007 had comprised one-off effects of € 34 million, including € 2 million incurred in connection with the merger between First Choice and TUI’s tourism division, which had to be eliminated. Adjusted for the one-off effects, earnings grew by 91.1% in the second quarter and 25.0% in the first half of the year.

Earnings by the container shipping operations, reclassified to discontinued operations, grew by € 76 million year-on-year in the second quarter of 2008. They comprised as in previous quarters expenses for the purchase price allocation which amounted to € 19 million and had to be adjusted in the second quarter of 2008, as well as expenses for restructuring of € 7 million. 2007 had included a one-off income of € 8 million on balance. Adjusted for these one-off effects, underlying earnings by container shipping totalled € 115 million in the second quarter of 2008, a significant year-on-year increase of € 110 million. In the first half of 2008, earnings were considerably down on the earnings of € 150 million posted in the 2007 reference period, characterised by one-off effects of the divestment of the majority interest in Montreal Gateway Terminals of € 178 million and the divestment of the minority interest held by Hapag-Lloyd AG in Germanischer Lloyd AG of € 15 million.

In the first half of 2008, underlying earnings grew by € 164 million year-on-year due to significantly improved operating earnings.
