Management summary Key highlights in Q3 2013 Topline development was satisfactory: Capacity is down by 5.8% (seats) and 3.9% (ASK) Load factor down by 0.4%pts. due to weaker passenger numbers (-5.6%) Revenue per ASK improved by 0.5% Turbine was delivered EUR 200m are secured for full year 2013. Cost per ASK (excluding fuel) are nearly on last year s level although this year s quarter was impacted by the increase in non-influence able cost items, i.e. navigation fee and airport charges. EBIT compared to previous year s quarter increased by 14.2% but not in line with expectations due to less demand. After the first nine months and due to the continuing price weakness, the Company should now only be able to come close to achieving market consensus in 2013 with positive one-off effects and higher other operating income. This is currently being pursued. 15
