Fraport Interim Report: 1st Quarter 2013: Group Financial Results Published for January-to-March Period

Frankfurt, Germany (ots) -

Dr. Schulte: "Forecast for the Year Remains Unchanged" - Traffic
Figures Affected by Weather and Strike-related Flight
Cancellations

Fraport's Group revenue rose by EUR 12.3 million to EUR 550.2
million in the first quarter of 2013, a 2.3 percent increase
year-on-year. This rise can be attributed to Frankfurt Airport's
growth in revenue from airport charges and from gains in the retail
business, spurred by the inauguration of the new Pier A-Plus in
October 2012. Furthermore, Fraport's international business
continued to develop positively, especially at the Group's
subsidiary in Lima, Peru.

EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and
amortization) declined by 4.6 percent or EUR 6.3 million to EUR 131.1
million - thus falling short of last year's figure due mainly to
one-time revenue realized from land sales in the first quarter of
2012. The Group result dropped by EUR 10.3 million to EUR 4.5
million, primarily because of increased depreciation and amortization
in connection with the inauguration of FRA's Pier A-Plus.
Correspondingly, basic earnings per share slipped by EUR 0.10 to EUR
0.06. Free cash flow reached minus EUR 96.4 million at the end of the
first quarter (Q1/2012: minus E125.0 million).

Strike and weather-related flight cancellations, as well as a
reduction in flight offerings by various airlines, led to a two-
percent drop in traffic to 11.9 million passengers at Frankfurt
Airport in the first quarter of 2013. Group-wide, passenger traffic
rose by 1.6 percent to about 17.8 million, due mainly to the strong
performance at Lima (LIM) and Antalya (AYT) airports.

Cargo throughput at FRA improved slightly by 0.9 percent to
approximately 493,000 metric tons and at the Group airports by 1.7
percent to almost 556,000 metric tons. Aircraft movements (down 5.8
percent) and MTOWs (down 5.3 percent) were impacted by the above
mentioned effects as well as the loss of Leap Day in 2013 (versus
2012).

Commenting on the 2013 first quarter results, Fraport's executive
board chairman Dr. Stefan Schulte said: "A critical business
environment in Europe as well as weather and strike-related flight
cancellations in Frankfurt impacted our development in the first
quarter of 2013. We expect the German economy to improve slightly
during the course of the year. This, however, will not be easily
transferable to the rest of Europe. Hence, for 2013, we do not
anticipate a drastic economic change, which would positively affect
the air transportation industry in general and the Fraport Group in
particular. Our 2013 forecast for traffic figures and earnings
remains unchanged."

Fraport expects passenger figures at Frankfurt Airport to remain
at about the same level as in the 2012 fiscal year. For the major
Group companies outside Frankfurt, the growth in passenger figures is
expected to continue. The Group EBITDA 2013 is expected to range
between EUR 870 million and EUR 890 million, while the Group result
is expected to decline. The outlook for Fraport's business segments
is also forecast to remain unchanged. The decline in MTOWs at FRA
will possibly impact the Ground Handling segment and could lead to a
negative result for this segment.

If further strike measures affect flight operations during the
remainder of the year, then growth of the actual financial and
traffic figures - particularly at Frankfurt Airport - could deviate
from the forecast.
