Interim Management Report

Summary

Q3 2022 with underlying EBIT of EUR-27m first broadly break-even quarter post pandemic. Excluding flight disruption costs, underlying EBIT clearly profitable at EUR48m. Q3 delivering further operational and financial progress.

-- In Q3 we operated 82% of capacity1 with customers at 84% of 2019 levels, with Summer 2022 remaining wellon track to deliver close to Summer 2019 levels.

-- 5.1m customers departed in Q3, an increase of 4.2m customers versus the prior year. Our average loadfactor in Q3 continued to be strong, at 92% for the period (Q3 2019: Load factor 90%).

-- Q3 underlying EBIT broadly break-even at EUR-27.0m, a strong improvement of EUR642.8m versus prior year (Q3 2021: EUR-669.8m loss).

-- Excluding the impact of additional flight disruption costs of EUR75m, the Group underlying EBIT was clearlyprofitable at EUR48m.

-- In Q3 Cruises and TUI Musement reported the first positive underlying EBIT contributions since the startof the pandemic, in addition to Hotels & Resorts delivering a fourth sequential positive quarter, already back to2019 levels.

-- The combination of unparalleled industry ramp-up after the COVID 19-pandemic compounded by a tight labourmarket, has seen the aviation industry confronted with significant operational issues and disruptions, resulting inthe increase of delayed departures and flight cancellations. This has been mainly caused by third party suppliersand airports due to a shortage in ground handling and airports security staff, reliability issues with lease-inpartners and supplier maintenance delays. As a result, disruption costs increased by EUR75m in Q3, primarily due tosignificantly increased FDC2 events in the UK, and costs introduced relating to mitigations. In response, we haveswiftly introduced several mitigations to improve resilience and customer experience, including the doubling of ourstandby aircraft, active management of third parties and increased TUI staff at key customer touch points. Flightdisruptions during Q4 still remain at elevated levels and it remains too early to estimate the impact for Q4 2022,however, we expect these disruptions to normalise for future seasons.

We remain committed to operate the Summer programme with as minimum impact to customers as possible. TUI Airline has carried 4.8m passengers3 in May and June with 96% of customers arriving without any major impact4, despite operational issues at airports. Cancellations are rare compared to other airlines, with less 200 outbound flights cancelled in May and June, representing significantly less than 1% of the Summer programme.

-- On 30 June 2022, Silent Participation II of EUR671m was repaid in full, plus interest due, to WSF (EconomicStabilisation Fund). The repayment was made with the proceeds from the equity capital increase in May 2022 and fromexisting cash funds. Including interest, TUI repaid EUR725 m to WSF. Due to the continued strong performance of theoperating business, the existing and currently undrawn KfW credit lines were also reduced from EUR2.4bn to EUR2.1bn aspreviously announced.

-- Significantly positive operating cash flow in Q3 2022, driven by positive EBITDA and a significantworking capital inflow from customer bookings.

-- Strong liquidity position5 of EUR3.9bn as of 5 August 2022, post hand-backs of state support in April andJune 2022.

-- Continued delivery of our Global Realignment Programme - we expect to deliver a further 20% of our EUR400mp.a. target cost savings in financial year 2022 (EUR240m already delivered in financial year 2021, with the remainderon track to be delivered in financial year 2023).

-- We re-confirm our expectations to return to significant positive underlying EBIT for financial year 20224and remain committed to further reducing debt and German Government exposure.

2 FDC Flight disruption costs for delays > 3 hours

3 4.8m passengers reflect outbound and return sectors

Q3 2022 Group underlying EBIT was broadly break-even with EUR-27.0m,a strong improvement of EUR642.8m versus prior year (Q3 2021: EUR-669.8m loss). Excluding the impact of additionalflight disruption costs of EUR75m, the Group underlying EBIT was clearly profitable at EUR48m.

-- 9M 2022 Group revenue of EUR8.9bn was up EUR7.6bn versus previous year (9M 2021: EUR1.4bn). The Group's 9M 2022operating loss (underlying EBIT) of EUR-630.5m decreased by EUR1,348.1m compared to previous year (9M 2021:EUR-1,978.6m).

Trading update

Booking momentum for Summer 2022 remains encouraging, we are confident the season will be close to 2019 levels

-- Solid pipeline of 11.5m bookings1 for Summer 2022, with 3.9m bookings added since our H1 2022 Report on11 May 2022.

-- Summer 2022 bookings are 90% of Summer 2019 levels, up 5%pts from 85% at our H1 announcement. Bookingmomentum remains encouraging, with levels in line with normalised Summer 2019 levels, as a result of a return to amore pre-pandemic environment of restriction-free travel.

-- ASP continues to be strong at up 18%, reflecting a higher mix of package products and the popularity ofour summer holidays.

-- The UK remains our most advanced market in terms of bookings with cumulative volumes remaining well aheadof Summer 2019 at + 5%, demand in Germany since our H1 update is particularly encouraging with bookings up c.20%compared to the same period of Summer 2019.

-- Supported by the latest booking trends, particularly in mainland Europe, combined with a later bookingprofile, we are confident in our Summer 2022 capacity assumption of close to normalised 2019 Summer levels.

-- Winter 2022/23 bookings1 are currently at a very early stage, with only the UK market currently booked asusual at this point of time. The UK have started positively with volumes up 16% compared to the same stage ofWinter 2018/19 with the programme c.27% sold. As usual, we expect to update on Winter 2022/23 performance with ourTrading Update in September 2022 as we see the later booking profile as experienced this Summer to also continueinto the Winter.

-- Hotels & Resorts -The segment delivered a fourth consecutive quarter of positive underlying EBIT sincethe start of the pandemic and is already back to 2019 levels. The Canaries, Balearics, Greece and Turkey are ourkey summer destinations for both Markets & Airlines and third-party customers. We expect occupancies and averagerates to continue to develop through Q4 2022, with the short-term booking environment to continue to contributesignificantly to a strong Summer. Our integrated model and growing ability to distribute successfully directly tocustomers support the development.

-- Cruises - Mein Schiff and Hapag-Lloyd Cruises are currently operating a full fleet of twelve ships,resuming itineraries in the Western and Eastern Mediterranean and around the world, with Asia itineraries resumingin Winter 2022/23. Marella Cruises is currently operating a full fleet of four ships in the Canaries and theCaribbean. Cruises continue to recover into Q4, with occupancies building steadily at higher rates. Short-termbookings continue to represent a large share of overall bookings.

-- TUI Musement - Benefitting from our increased inventory of products offered in global cities as well assun and beach locations, we expect excursions, activities and tours to develop ahead of the capacity assumptions ofour Markets & Airlines for Q4, as third-party sales return, in line with a return to a more normalised pre-pandemictravel environment.

1 Bookings up to 31 July 2022 compared to Summer 2019 and Winter 2018/19 programme (undistorted by COVID-19 effects and thus provide an appropriate benchmark) and relate to all customers whether risk or non-risk

Global Realignment Programme - Targeted savings EUR400m p.a. by financial year 2023

In May 2020, we announced our Global Realignment Programme to address group-wide costs, with a target of permanently saving more than EUR400m per annum by financial year 2023.

In the financial year ending September 2021, 60% (EUR240m) of our announced targeted savings were delivered. Savings have been most significantly delivered across the Markets & Airlines division (85% of savings to date).

We expect to deliver a further 20% (EUR80m) of our targeted savings in financial year 2022 and we remain on track to deliver the full programme benefits by end of financial year 2023.

Net debt

30 June 2022 net debt position of EUR-3,314.1m is a year-on-year improvement of EUR3,034.6m (30 June 2021: EUR6,348.7m), driven by positive cash flow as bookings and operations recover, and net of repayments from our capital increases completed in financial year 2022 net of the repayments made to WSF in Q3 2022.

Strategic priorities

Ongoing priorities - we will continue with our disciplined cash management, drive operating effectiveness, whilst maximising opportunities to de-lever, continue the reduction of debt and German government exposure in order to return to a solid balance sheet. Mid-term ambitions - we expect underlying EBIT to significantly build on financial year 2019, driven by both top-line growth and benefits from our Global Realignment Programme, with a target to return to gross leverage ratio of less than 3.0x.

Our growth opportunities will be driven by the expansion of our TUI Musement tours & activities segment, which will benefit from both our integration as well as growth through third party sales, accelerated digitalisation, our increased offer of dynamic packaging, growth through asset-right financing structures and execution of our Global Realignment Programme. The combination of these drivers will enable us to emerge stronger, leaner, more digitalised and more agile, and ready to exploit market recovery and growth opportunities.

TUI is strategically well positioned and will continue to benefit from the strong rebound in the leisure industry.

Report on changes in expected development

The impact of the pandemic and the war in Ukraine on customer behaviour remains difficult to predict. The greatest area of uncertainty will be the impact on consumer confidence, should travel restrictions be reintroduced, should there be further cost inflation volatility and/or an escalation of the war in Ukraine. In view of these considerable uncertainties, the Executive Board continues to believe that it is not in a position to issue a specific, quantified forecast for the financial year 2022.

Against the backdrop of current bookings and the business performance to date, we confirm our expectation in the 2021 Annual Report of a significant improvement in TUI Group's underlying EBIT compared with 2021 and, unchanged from our Half-Year Financial Report H1 2022, expect to return to a significantly positive underlying EBIT in the current financial year.

We continue to consider the remaining assumptions for the financial year 2022 made in the Annual Report 2021 to be valid.

9M 2022 revenue grew to EUR638.8m, an improvement of EUR480.9m year-on-year (9M 2021: EUR157.9m) reflecting the more normalised pre-pandemic travel environment across our multiple destinations, versus the prior year. The segment reported a 9M underlying EBIT profit of EUR189.7m as a result, improving by EUR458.3m year-on-year (9M 2021: EUR-268.6m loss), with Riu delivering strong results in the Caribbean and Spanish markets in particular.

Q3 2022 revenue respectively grew to EUR259.5m, improving EUR185.5m year-on-year (Q3 2021: EUR74.0m), delivering an underlying EBIT profit of EUR104.9m, an improvement of EUR175.2m year-on-year (Q3 2021: EUR-70.3m loss), the fourth sequential quarterly positive underlying EBIT result since the start of the pandemic.

As of 30 June 2022, 99% of our 354 hotels were in operation (30 June 2021: 79%), allowing us to offer our guests our entire portfolio in Summer. In Q3 2022 we operated 10.7m available bednights (capacity) which is an increase of 4.1m available bednights versus the prior year (Q3 2021: 6.6m). Again, the popular year-round destination Caribbean achieved a high average occupancy of 90% at a high capacity level. Towards summer, the Canaries, Balearics, Greece and Turkey are our key summer destinations for both Markets & Airlines and third-party customers. Q3 occupancy rate increased 26%pts year-on-year to 74% for the segment, with Riu achieving 88% in the quarter, up 29%pts year-on-year (Q3 2021: 59%) and Blue Diamond achieving 82%, up 25%pts year-on-year (Q3 2021: 57%). This reflects the benefit of third-party sales in the Caribbean from North America and our ability to steer our base of European customers to our own hotels e.g. in the Canaries first. Robinson average occupancy increased by 13%pts to 61% year-on-year (Q3 2021: 48%), driven by mix as the prior year was significantly impacted by travel restrictions.

Q3 2022 average daily rate increased by 4% year-on-year to EUR73, with Riu's average daily rate increasing 13% to EUR63 (Q3 2021: EUR56) and Blue Diamond average daily rate increasing 35% to EUR140 (Q3 2021: EUR104), driven by higher average spend in the Caribbean. Robinson delivered an average rate of EUR94, a decrease of -4% year-on-year (Q3 2021: EUR98) due to mix.

The Cruises segment comprises the joint venture TUI Cruises, which operates cruise ships under the brands Mein Schiff and Hapag-Lloyd Cruises, and Marella Cruises.

9M 2022 Cruises revenue (reflecting Marella Cruises solely; TUI Cruises consisting of Mein Schiff and Hapag-Lloyd Cruises is accounted for using the equity method), grew to EUR178.8m, an improvement of EUR176.1m year-on-year (9M 2021: EUR2.7m), reflecting the recovery towards a more normalised pre-pandemic travel environment with a full fleet in operation, versus the prior year where Marella gradually restarted their operations from June onwards. Resultingly, 9M 2022 underlying EBIT loss for the segment (including the equity result of TUI Cruises) was EUR-102.3m, an improvement of EUR132.3m (9M 2021: EUR-234.6m loss). The complete fleets of all three brands were only in operation from April 2022 due to Omicron restrictions in the Winter months, which held back the performance for the segment.

Q3 2022 revenue grew to EUR103.3m respectively, improving EUR102.2m year-on-year (Q3 2021: EUR1.1m), as Marella returned to operating its full fleet of four vessels in April 2022. Q3 underlying EBIT (including equity result for TUI Cruises) turned positive for the first time since the start of the pandemic and improved by EUR84.3m to EUR3.0m.

Mein Schiff - Mein Schiff operated their full fleet of seven ships since April 2022 reflecting the recovery of demand for Cruises towards more normalised pre-pandemic levels. Occupancy of the operated fleet in Q3 2022 was 70% as a result (Q3 2021: 41%), with cruises operated in Northern Europe and the Mediterranean during Q3, versus shorter average duration "Blue Cruises" operated in the prior year. At EUR188, the average daily rate reached pre-pandemic level (Q3 2019: 190EUR) and was up 51% versus prior year (Q3 2021: EUR125).

In Q3, TUI Cruises started the construction of two of three newbuildings that will complement the Mein Schiff fleet until 2026 and bring it to nine ships. After two pandemic years, TUI Cruises is thus continuing its growth as planned.

Hapag-Lloyd Cruises - Hapag-Lloyd Cruises operated their full fleet of five ships in Q3 2022. Q3 average daily rate of operated fleet was EUR616, well above pre-pandemic levels (Q3 2019: 584EUR) and an increase of 39% on prior year (Q3 2021: EUR443). Q3 occupancy of the operated fleet was 57% (Q3 2021: 42%), reflecting the increased demand for Cruises.

Marella Cruises - Similarly to Mein Schiff and Hapag-Lloyd Cruises, Marella operated their full fleet of four ships in Q3 2022. Q3 average daily rate totalled GBP160 with occupancy at 70%, versus a previous Q3 where Marella gradually restarted their operations with a first ship in June 2021.

9M 2022 revenue of EUR287.4m, up EUR249.9m year-on-year (9M 2021: EUR37.5m). 9M underlying EBIT loss of EUR-15.7m decreased by EUR81.0m year-on-year (9M 2021: EUR-96.7m), reflecting the recovery to a more normalised pre-pandemic environment.

Q3 2022 revenue of EUR158.6m, up EUR139.6m year-on-year (Q3 2021: EUR19.0m). Q3 underlying EBIT was the first time positive since the start of the pandemic and amounted to EUR13.8m, improving EUR48.5m year-on-year (Q3 2021: EUR-34.7m loss).

2.0m excursions, activities and tours sold in Q3 2022, an increase of 1.8m excursions versus the prior year (Q3 2021: 0.2m) reflecting the more normalised pre-pandemic travel environment across our global destinations. The increase reflects the breadth of our coverage in both popular cities and traditional sun & beach locations, benefitting from the advantage of our integrated model and growth of third-party sales through the Musement platform.

Q3 2022 online distribution was 36% (Q3 2021: 39%) reflecting the return of destination staff in resorts versus the prior year, in line with our hybrid in-person and online self-service model.

9M 2022 revenue of EUR7,782.2m, up EUR6,636.7m year-on-year (9M 2021: EUR1,145.5m). 9M underlying EBIT loss for the sector of EUR-657.1m decreased by EUR675.7m year-on-year (9M 2021: EUR-1,332.8m) reflecting the more normalised pre-pandemic travel environment versus the prior year, with 9,174k passengers departing in financial year 2022 so far compared to 1,560k in financial year 2021.

Q3 2022 revenue of EUR3,895.1m, up EUR3,348.3m year-on-year (Q3 2021: EUR546.8m). Q3 underlying EBIT loss of EUR-139.4m, decreased significantly due to clear pent up demand by EUR343.3m year-on-year (Q3 2021: EUR-482.7m). The result includes the impact of operational flight disruption encountered during May and June 2022 totaling EUR75m, as well as savings delivered by our Global Realignment Programme across all markets.

A total of 5,061k customers departed in Q3, an increase of 4,185k customers versus Q3 2021. Capacity operated was 82% of Q3 2019 levels, with an average load factor achieved of 92% for Q3 2022 (Q3 2019: 90%)

9M 2022 revenue of EUR3,262.9m, up EUR3,047.8m year-on-year (9M 2021: EUR215.1m). 9M underlying EBIT loss for the region of EUR-445.7m decreased by EUR262.4m year-on-year (9M 2021: EUR-708.1m) per the factors mentioned above.

Q3 2022 revenue of EUR1,762.8m, up EUR1,706.8m year-on-year (Q3 2021: EUR56.0m). Q3 2022 underlying EBIT loss for the region of EUR-93.1m, decreased by EUR196.7m year-on-year (Q3 2021: EUR-289.8m), driven by ability to operate a more normalised programme. The result was impacted by operational disruptions encountered during May and June 2022 as a result of airport operational issues, fleet impacts and supplier issues, in addition to resilience measures, in particular the cancellation of flying from Manchester during June to help protect the programme and reduce the impact on our customers.

Northern Region reported an increase in Q3 2022 customer volumes, with 2,095k guests departing in the quarter representing 97% of pre-pandemic Q3 2019 volumes and versus 50k customers in Q3 2021.

Financial position and net assets

Cash Flow / Net capex and investments / Net debt

As a result of the continued lifting of global travel restrictions in the course of the financial year 2022, TUI Group was able to increase its business volume year-on-year. Nevertheless, TUI Group's operating cash inflow continued to be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic in the period under review. At EUR1,970.6m, it increased by EUR3,060.0m compared to previous year, driven by an improved EBITDA and a significant inflow of working capital from customer bookings.

In October 2021 and in May 2022, TUI AG carried out capital increases. This resulted in an inflow of EUR1,522.9m after deduction of transaction costs for 9M 2022.

Net debt position as at 30 June 2022 of EUR3,314.1m is a year-on-year improvement of EUR3,034.6m (30 June 2021: EUR6,348.7m). The improvement is due to the positive cash flow from the recovery of business operations and the net proceeds from the capital increases carried out in Q1 and Q3 2022 less the repayments made to WSF in Q3.

Cash gross capex in 9M 2022 was 68.6% higher year-on-year. This increase year-on-year was mainly due to investments in the airline sector, higher investments in Hotels & Resorts and dock periods at Marella Cruises. Net capex and investments of EUR288.7m increased by EUR411.5m year-on-year. The divestments related mainly to the sale and lease back of spares. In addition, a subsequent reduction of the disposal of RIU Hotels S.A. was included, in total resulting in neutral divestments. Previous year's divestments included sale and lease back of spares and aircraft as well as a part of the sales proceeds of Hapag-Lloyd Kreuzfahrten to our joint venture TUI Cruises.

Comments on the consolidated income statement

As a result of the continued easing or lifting of global travel restrictions, TUI Group was able to increase its business volume compared with the prior-year period under review. Nevertheless, the development of revenue and earnings in 9M 2022 continued to be significantly impacted by the measures to contain the spread of COVID-19. TUI Group's results generally also reflect the significant seasonal swing in tourism between the winter and summer travel months, however this period the impact is less evident due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In 9M 2022, consolidated revenue increased by EUR7.6bn year-on-year to EUR8.9bn.

Alternative performance measures

The Group's main financial KPI is underlying EBIT. We define the EBIT in underlying EBIT as earnings before interest, income taxes and expenses for the measurement of the Group's interest hedges. EBIT by definition includes goodwill impairments.

One-off items carried here include adjustments for income and expense items that reflect amounts and frequencies of occurrence rendering an evaluation of the operating profitability of the segments and the Group more difficult or causing distortions. These items include gains on disposal of financial investments, significant gains and losses from the sale of assets as well as significant restructuring and integration expenses. Any effects from purchase price allocations, ancillary acquisition costs and conditional purchase price payments are adjusted. Also, any goodwill impairments are adjusted in the reconciliation to underlying EBIT.

Corporate Governance

Composition of the Boards

In the third quarter 2022 the composition of the Boards of TUI AG changed as follows:

Executive Board

On 24 June 2022 Friedrich Joussen, Chief Executive Officer of TUI AG, has announced his decision to step down as of 30 September 2022. He is exercising a right of resignation granted in connection with the conditions of the COVID stabilisation measures.

On 27 June 2022 the Supervisory Board appointed Sebastian Ebel, currently Chief Financial Officer, as Chief Executive Officer, effective 1 October 2022 and Mathias Kiep, previously Group Director Controlling, Corporate Finance and Investor Relations, as the new Chief Financial Officer. Both new appointments have a contract term of three years.

Supervisory Board

In Q2 2022 Alexey Mordashov and Vladimir Lukin resigned from their mandates on the Supervisory Board of TUI AG. To fill these two vacancies, in June 2022 the Hanover Local Court has appointed Helena Murano, Senior Advisor Arcano Partners, Palma de Mallorca, and Christian Baier, Member of the Executive Board of Metro AG, Düsseldorf, as members of the Supervisory Board of TUI AG with retroactive effect from 31 May 2022. Christian Baier also became member of the Audit Committee.

The current, complete composition of the Executive Board and Supervisory Board is published on our website, where it is permanently accessible to the public.

Risk and Opportunity Report

Successful management of existing and emerging risks is critical to the long-term success of our business and to the achievement of our strategic objectives.

We aggregate the risks into principal risks, were senior management is deciding its risk appetite upon. Full details of our risk governance framework and principal risks can be found in the Annual Report 2021.

- Details see Risk Report in our Annual Report 2021, from page 35

External events, namely the COVID 19-pandemic, the impact on input cost due the Ukraine war, and supply chain disruptions impact the principal risks. The impact is higher if a combination of principal risks is affected.

Although the number of COVID 19-cases remains high, contact restriction measures and travel restrictions were gradually eased in our source markets and many of our destinations since the beginning of the calendar year and our customers are confident to travel. Our businesses have proven to adapt to changing hygiene requirements and will continue to do so, should certain measures be re-imposed.

The booking dynamics in our most important markets have so far remained largely unaffected by Russia's war of aggression on Ukraine. However, the intensified general price increases of recent months could continue, especially due to rising energy costs, and lead to a significant reduction in the private budget available for travel services, thus lowering purchasing power and resulting in declining customer demand. In addition, the war is affecting our main input cost volatility risk, leading to an increase in fuel costs as well as other services, especially those we source in US dollars. This particularly affects the results of the Northern Region, Central Region, Western Region and Cruises segments.

Our operation is dependent on a complex chain of supply of goods and services. In some areas, suppliers cannot easily be interchanged, leading to a reliance on these key suppliers. In May and June poor services of some direct and indirect suppliers caused disruptions to our flight operations predominantly at, but not limited to UK airports. Increasing the resilience of our airline operations by adding further stand-by aircraft and by closely managing our key suppliers through continuous operational meetings mitigates this reliance risk. If disruptions happen, we seek to mitigate the impact by increased our support staff, offering flexible rebooking or providing additional compensations via vouchers. Whilst we recognise a positive impact of these measures, we believe that the situation will continue to be challenging during the main summer season.

DJ TUI AG: Q3 Interim Financial Report 1 October -7-

From the Executive Board's perspective, despite the existing risks, the TUI Group currently has and will continue to have sufficient funds, resulting from both borrowings and operating cash flows, to meet its payment obligations and to ensure the going concern of the company accordingly in the foreseeable future. In this context, the Executive Board assumes that the credit lines expiring in summer 2024 will be refinanced. Therefore, as at 30 June 2022, the Executive Board does not identify any material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern risk. The Executive Board does not consider the remaining risk with regard to a further pandemic/ war-related change in booking behaviour as a going concern. In its assessment, the Executive Board assumes that booking figures will gradually recover in the remainder of the 2022 financial year and that volumes in the summer of 2022 will settle approximately close to the level of the summer of 2019.

For the 2023 financial year, we expect a further normalisation towards pre-pandemic levels. In this regard, the Board assumes that travel behaviour will not be affected by further long-term closures and lockdowns or by the impact of Russia's war of aggression on Ukraine. Nevertheless, customer bookings may deteriorate due to new pandemic or war-related travel restrictions, virus variants for which there is insufficient vaccination protection and an increase in general price increases, thus affecting TUI Group's performance. In addition, the increased costs for cerosine and bunkers could also weigh on future earnings.

During this period of reduced travel compared to pre-pandemic levels, the Executive Board continues to monitor the key risks, particularly heightened risks such as customer demand and those that impact the financial profile (i.e. cost volatility and cashflow) of the Group.

General

The TUI Group and its major subsidiaries and shareholdings operate in tourism. TUI AG, based in Karl-Wiechert-Allee 4, 30625 Hanover, Germany, is the TUI Group's parent company and a listed corporation under German law. The Company is registered in the commercial registers of the district courts of Berlin-Charlottenburg (HRB 321) and Hanover (HRB 6580), Germany. The shares in TUI AG are traded on the London Stock Exchange and the Hanover and Frankfurt Stock Exchanges. In this document, the term "TUI Group" represents the consolidated group of TUI AG and its direct and indirect investments. Additionally, the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of TUI AG are referred to as "Interim Financial Statements", the unaudited condensed consolidated income statement of TUI AG is referred to as "income statement", the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of financial position of TUI AG is referred to as "statement of financial position", the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income of TUI AG is referred to as "statement of comprehensive income" and the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity of TUI AG is referred to as "statement of changes in equity".

The Interim Financial Statements cover the period from 1 October 2021 to 30 June 2022. The Interim Financial Statements are prepared in euros. Unless stated otherwise, all amounts are stated in million euros (EURm).

The Interim Financial Statements were approved for publication by the Executive Board of TUI AG on 8 August 2022.

Accounting principles

Declaration of compliance

The consolidated interim financial report for the period ended 30 June 2022 comprise the Interim Financial Statements and the Interim Management Report in accordance with section 115 of the German Securities Trading Act (WpHG).

The Interim Financial Statements were prepared in conformity with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the relevant interpretations of the IFRS Interpretation Committee (IFRS IC) for interim financial reporting applicable in the European Union.

In accordance with IAS 34, the Interim Financial Statements are published in a condensed form compared with the consolidated annual financial statements and should therefore be read in combination with TUI Group's consolidated financial statements for financial year 2021. The Interim Financial Statements were reviewed by the Group's auditor.

Going concern reporting in accordance with the UK Corporate Governance Code

The TUI Group covers its day-to-day working capital requirements through cash on hand, balances with and borrowings from banks. TUI Group's net debt (financial debt plus lease liabilities less cash and cash equivalents and less short-term interest-bearing cash investments) as of 30 June 2022 was EUR3.3bn (as at 30 September 2021 EUR5.0bn).

The global travel restrictions to contain COVID-19 have had a continuous negative impact on the Group's earnings and liquidity development since the end of March 2020. To cover the resulting liquidity needs, the Group has carried out various financing measures in the financial years 2020 and 2021, which, in addition to a capital increase, the use of the banking and capital markets and cash inflows from the sale of assets, also include financing measures from the Federal Republic of Germany in the form of a KfW credit line totalling EUR2.85bn, an option bond from the Economic Stabilisation Fund (WSF) totalling EUR150m and two silent participations from the WSF totalling EUR1.091bn. In the IFRS consolidated financial statements, the silent participations are - with the exception of EUR11.3m accumulated interest - reported as equity due to their nature and are therefore not included in the Group's net debt. The financing measures are described in detail in the annual reports for the past two financial years.

With the entry of the new shares in the commercial register on 28 October 2021 and final settlement with the participating banks on 2 November 2021, TUI AG successfully completed another capital increase. The gross issue proceeds totalled around EUR1.1bn. The Group's share capital increased nominally by EUR523.5m to EUR1.623bn.

On 17 May 2022, TUI AG placed around 162.3m new shares with institutional investors in the framework of a capital increase against cash contributions without subscription rights for shareholders by way of an accelerated placement, corresponding to around 10% of TUI AG's share capital. The gross proceeds of around EUR425.2m from the capital increase and available cash were used to fully repay the German government's silent participation II (Economic Stabilisation Fund, 'WSF') of EUR671.0m in full ahead of schedule on 30 June 2022. Including the coupons to be shown as dividends, TUI repaid EUR725.4m to the WSF. Following full repayment and termination of the KfW credit line, TUI has to pay remuneration to the German state for the coupons saved by the early repayment of Silent Participation II.

As at 30 June 2022, TUI Group's credit facilities comprised the following

-- EUR1.75bn credit line from 20 private banks (incl. EUR215m guarantee line)

-- EUR2.1bn KfW credit line.

DJ TUI AG: Q3 Interim Financial Report 1 October -10-

As at 30 June 2022, TUI Group's revolving credit facilities totalled EUR3.85bn. For regulatory reasons due to Brexit, the credit line of a British bank (around EUR80m liquid funds and EUR25m guarantee line) could not be extended beyond summer 2022. It was therefore repaid or terminated as of July 20, 2022. The remaining credit lines of around EUR3.7bn have a term until summer 2024.

With regard to the KfW credit lines, it was also agreed that TUI AG would use 50% of individual cash inflows exceeding EUR50m by 20 July 2022, but not exceeding EUR700m, for example from capital measures or disposals of assets or companies, to reduce the financing granted to TUI AG to bridge the effects of COVID-19. In accordance with this agreement, TUI AG returned the unused credit facility of EUR170m on 1 April 2022. In addition, the volume of unused credit commitments under the KfW credit line as at 31 March 2022 was reduced by EUR413.7m. Finally, 913 of the 1,500 warrant bonds issued to WSF were redeemed. A purchase price of EUR91.3m plus accrued interest and early repayment penalties of EUR7.2m was paid for these. On June 30, 2022, the existing and at that date undrawn KfW credit lines were reduced by a further EUR336m to EUR2.1bn.

After 20 July 2022, 50% of individual specific cash inflows exceeding EUR50m must be used to reduce the financing granted to TUI AG to bridge the effects of COVID-19; there is no maximum limit.

TUI AG's EUR1.75bn credit line from private banks and KfW credit line are subject to compliance with certain financial target values (covenants) for debt coverage and interest coverage, the review of which is carried out on the basis of the last four reported quarters at the end of the financial year or the half-year of a financial year. Against the backdrop of the ongoing pressures from the COVID-19 pandemic, the review will only be resumed in September 2022. In addition, higher limits will be applied on the first two cut-off dates before normalised limits have to be complied with from September 2023.

Currently, TUI Group continues to be affected by the negative financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Although the number of COVID-19 cases remained high, in particular due to the rapid spread of the Omicron variant, contact restriction measures and travel restrictions were gradually eased in most countries in the first months of the calendar year. TUI Group's operating business continued to record good demand during Q3 2022. The booking momentum in our key markets was largely unaffected by Russia's war of aggression on our European neighbour Ukraine. The TUI Group's operating business continued to record good demand in the course of Q3 2022.

From the Executive Board's perspective, despite the existing risks, the TUI Group currently has and will continue to have sufficient funds, resulting from both borrowings and operating cash flows, to meet its payment obligations and to ensure the going concern of the company accordingly in the foreseeable future. In this context, the Executive Board assumes that the credit lines expiring in summer 2024 will be refinanced. Therefore, as at 30 June 2022, the Executive Board does not identify any material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.

In its assessment, the Executive Board assumes that booking figures will gradually recover in the rest of the 2022 financial year and that volumes in the summer of 2022 will almost return to the level of the summer of 2019. For the 2023 financial year, it is expected that booking behaviour will largely correspond to the pre-pandemic level. The Executive Board assumes that travel behaviour will not be affected by further long-term closures and lockdowns or by the impact of Russia's war of aggression on Ukraine.

The Executive Board does not consider the remaining risk with regard to a further pandemic/war-related change in booking behaviour to be a threat to the company's existence. Nevertheless, the intensified general price increase of recent months could continue, in particular due to rising energy costs, and lead to a significant reduction in the private budget available for travel services, thus lowering purchasing power and resulting in declining customer demand. In addition, a permanent increase in fuel costs as well as other services, especially those we purchase in US dollars, could lead to an increase in our input costs. In view of the disruptions in our flight operations in Q3 2022, we have initiated measures to increase the resilience of our flight operations, for example by deploying more stand-by aircraft. In the medium term, we expect the situation at international airports to ease.

In accordance with Regulation 30 of the UK Corporate Governance Code, the Executive Board confirms that, in its opinion, it is appropriate to prepare the consolidated interim financial statements on a going concern basis.

Accounting and measurement methods

The preparation of the Interim Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and judgements that affect the reported values of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the balance sheet date and the reported values of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

Both the recent development of the pandemic and current trading for the summer programme have confirmed the business performance guidance provided by TUI at the end of financial year 2021. The positive booking momentum has remained largely unaffected by Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine. TUI therefore continues to expect bookings for Summer 2022 to approach the level of Summer 2019. However, the war has resulted in an increase in jet fuel costs, impacting the results delivered by the Northern Region, Western Region and Central Region segments. There is the risk that jet fuel prices will remain high. In the Northern Region segment in particular, but also in the Western Region and Central Region segments, it became apparent that the adjustment of flight handling capacities at the airports were not yet sufficient. Flight cancellations caused by this and countermeasures taken by TUI led to an additional burden on the results. The first nine months were challenging for the Cruises segment. This segment was more and longer impacted by measures to restrict the spread of COVID-19. As expected Cruises recovery started in the third quarter of the financial year. Additionally short-term bookings continue to represent a large share of overall bookings. The increase in bunker oil might impact the results additionally. Hotels & Resorts remains largely unaffected by the war in Ukraine.

Taking account, in particular, of the above-mentioned factors, a risk assessment was performed for the Group's assets to identify any indications of impairment as at 30 June 2022. On the basis of that assessment, TUI does not see any indication that the Group's assets may generally be impaired.

The accounting and measurement methods adopted in the preparation of the Interim Financial Statements as at 30 June 2022 are materially consistent with those followed in preparing the annual consolidated financial statements for the financial year ended 30 September 2021, except for the initial application of new or amended standards, as outlined below.

The income taxes were recorded based on the best estimate of the weighted average tax rate that is expected for the whole financial year.

Newly applied standards

Since the beginning of financial year 2022, TUI Group has initially applied the following standards, amended by the IASB and endorsed by the EU, on a mandatory basis:

Group of consolidated companies

The Interim Financial Statements include all material subsidiaries over which TUI AG has control. Control requires TUI AG to have decision-making power over the relevant activities, be exposed to variable returns or have entitlements regarding the returns, and can affect the level of those variable returns through its decision-making power.

The Interim Financial Statements as of 30 June 2022 comprised a total of 272 subsidiaries of TUI AG.

Divestments

On 16 July 2021, a contract was signed with Grupotel S.A., a joint venture of TUI Group, to sell Nordotel S.A., a fully consolidated entity within the Hotels & Resorts segment. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the disposal group were classified as 'held for sale' in August 2021. The disposal transaction was completed on 5 October 2021. The first purchase price payment of EUR50.0m was made on 21 September 2021. Additional deferred purchase price payments of EUR10.2m and EUR20.4m are due one and two years, respectively, after the closing of the transaction, taking account of final purchase price adjustments. The divestment of the stakes taking currency effects into account generated a preliminary profit of EUR22.0m, reported within Other income.

Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated Income Statement

As a result of the partial easing of global travel restrictions, TUI Group was able to increase its business volume compared with 9M 2021. Nevertheless, the development of revenue and earnings in the first nine months of the financial year 2022 continued to be significantly impacted by the measures to contain the spread of COVID-19. TUI Group's results generally also reflect the significant seasonal swing in tourism between the winter and summer travel months, however this period the impact is less evident due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 1.

Cost of sales relates to the expenses incurred in the provision of tourism services. In addition to the expenses for staff costs, depreciation, amortisation, rental and leasing, it includes all costs incurred by TUI Group in connection with the procurement and delivery of airline services, hotel accommodation and cruises and distribution costs.

Due to the increased business volume, the cost of sales increased by 242.4% to EUR9.0bn in 9M 2022.

Government Grants

Administrative expenses  36.1   53.5 
Total           94.6   178.7 

The government grants reported under cost of sales and administrative expenses include in particular grants for wages and salaries as well as social security contributions directly reimbursed to the relevant company. In addition, a number of Group companies have received government grants, e. g. in the form of grants for fixed costs. The resumption of travel activity in Summer 2021 led to a decrease in government grants. In the first nine months of the financial year TUI received amongst other grants for fixed costs which are granted with a time lag from the months affected by travel restrictions.

Administrative expenses comprise all expenses incurred in connection with the performance of administrative functions and break down as follows:

In 9M 2022, reversals of impairment losses of EUR5.6m were recognized, all recorded in cost of sales (9M 2021 EUR12.6m). EUR4.5m of the impairments were presented within cost of sales (9M 2021 EUR50.0m). Of the impairments losses of the previous year EUR45.9m correspond to right-of-use assets, EUR31.3m relate to property, plant and equipment, and EUR0.3m to other intangible assets. 3. Other income

DJ TUI AG: Q3 Interim Financial Report 1 October -12-

In 9M 2022 other income reflects mainly EUR22.0m from the disposal of Nordotel S.A., plus the sale of aircraft assets. In the prior year, this item had primarily included income from the disposal of TUI Group companies and the sale of aircraft assets. 4. Other expenses

In 9M 2022 other expenses do result particularly from the disposal of group companies in the prior year. In the previous year, losses from the disposal of aircraft assets and the result from the sale of TUI Group companies were presented in other expenses. 5. Financial income and financial expenses

The decrease in the net financial result from EUR-331.6 m in the first nine months of the previous year to EUR-378.0m in the current financial year is mainly the result of higher interest expenses, higher expenses from the compounding of provisions as well as exchange rate changes on financial instruments. 6. Share of result of investments accounted for using the equity method

The result improved in comparison to the first nine months of the prior year due to the resumption of the business. 7. Income taxes

The tax expense arising in the first nine months of the 2022 financial year is mainly driven by the tax expense in profitable countries. 8. Group profit / loss attributable to non-controlling interest

TUI Group's result attributable to non-controlling interests is substantially a gain, primarily relating to RIUSA II Group at an amount of EUR37.8m (9M 2021 EUR25.4m loss).

Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated Statement of Financial Position 9. Goodwill

Goodwill increased by EUR10.0m to EUR3,003.1m due to foreign exchange translation. The following table presents a breakdown of goodwill by cash generating unit (CGU) at carrying amounts.

Goodwill per cash generating unit 
 
EUR million     30 Jun 2022  30 Sep 2021

Other       47.1     45.9 
Total       3,003.1    2,993.1 

As at June 30, 2022, a risk assessment of the capitalised goodwill was carried out based on updated information for the current financial year. As part of this assessment, there were no indications that led to a requirement to perform impairment testing of the capitalised goodwill. In this context, please refer to the section 'Accounting and measurement methods'. 10. Property, plant and equipment

Compared to 30 September 2021 property, plant and equipment increased by EUR224.9m to EUR3,384.2m. Additions of EUR350.3m included EUR121.2m of acquisitions in the Hotels & Resorts segment. The construction of a new hotel in Mexico, the refurbishment and extension of a hotel in Zanzibar and the renovation of hotels in Spain, Cape Verde and Mexico led to additions in the Riu Group totalling EUR99.4m. Further additions related to the purchase of five aircraft in the amount of EUR119.6m and to the purchase of aircraft spare parts in the amount of EUR26.2m. Advance payments of EUR26.8m were made for the future delivery of additional aircraft. Furthermore, additions of EUR36.1m were attributable to payments on account to carry out maintenance work on cruise ships. The reclassification of an aircraft from right-of-use assets was the result of the exercise of an existing purchase option and led to an increase in property, plant and equipment of EUR16.9m. Furthermore, property, plant and equipment increased by EUR125.4m due to foreign exchange translation.

On the other hand, disposals of EUR100.7m led to a reduction of property, plant and equipment. The decrease is mainly caused by the acquisition of new aircraft, which led to the disposal of advance payments for future delivery of aircraft (EUR88.6m). These aircraft deliveries led to reallocations within property, plant and equipment but also to additions to right-of-use assets, which are due to sale and leaseback transactions (for details please refer to the section 'Right-of-use-assets'). Accordingly property, plant and equipment declined due to the delivery of aircrafts. Depreciation and amortisation of EUR172.6m led to a further decrease in property, plant and equipment. 11. Right-of-use assets

Compared to 30 September 2021 right-of-use assets decreased by EUR15.1m to EUR2,994.1m. Depreciation charged of EUR378.7m led to a decrease in right-of-use assets. The reclassification of an aircraft into property, plant and equipment led to a further reduction of right-of-use assets by EUR16.9m (in this context, we refer to the section 'Property, plant and equipment').

Contrarily, additions totalled EUR150.7m, of which EUR142.0m was attributable to the delivery of six new aircraft which were purchased and then sold and leased back. Furthermore, foreign exchange translation led to an increase in right-of-use assets of EUR169.9m. Modifications and reassessments of existing lease contracts increased the right-of-use assets by EUR58.1m. The increase is mainly due to contract extensions related to leased aircraft (EUR38.6m), leased travel agencies (EUR12.5m) and hotel leases (EUR11.3m).

The corresponding liabilities are explained in the section 'Lease Liabilities'. 12. Trade and other receivables

In the first quarter of the current financial year the reorganisation of insolvency protection for package tours became effective in Germany. Accordingly, the liquid funds which were provided by TUI to the former insolvency protection fund were returned. Partially offsetting this, receivables for security deposits for the travel insurance and receivables from deferred purchase price payments relating to the disposal of Nordotel S.A were recognised.

The increase in the current trade and other receivables is related to the resumption of travel activity and increased bookings. 13. Other financial assets

The increase of other financial assets relates to short-term financial investments, which were issued to secure advance payments from customers. 14. Assets held for sale

As at 30 June 2022, no assets were classified as held for sale. During the period under review, there were no reclassifications to assets held for sale.

As at the end of the prior financial year, assets classified as held for sale exclusively consisted of assets of the Nor-dotel disposal group in the Hotels & Resorts segment worth EUR96.5m as well as the associated liabilities of EUR50.6m. The sale of this disposal group was completed in October 2021. In this context, please refer to the section 'Divest-ments'. 15. Pension provisions and similar obligations

The pension provisions for unfunded plans and plans with underfunding decreased by EUR348.3m to EUR586.8m compared to the end of the previous financial year.

The overfunding of funded pension plans reported in other non-financial assets increased by EUR62.3m to EUR199.4m compared to 30 September 2021.

This development is attributable in particular to remeasurement effects due to significantly increased interest rate levels in the UK and the Eurozone. 16. Financial liabilities

Non-current financial liabilities decreased by EUR1,408.1m to EUR1,628.0m compared to 30 September 2021. This de-crease was primarily attributable to a decrease in liabilities to banks of EUR1,339.2m as well as to a contractually agreed early redemption of 913 partial option bonds on 1 April 2022. Of this amount, EUR91.3m is accounted for by the nominal value of the partial option bonds and EUR7.2m by interest and early repayment penalties. The remaining 587 partial bonds shown under non-current financial liabilities are not affected by the early redemption, nor are the approx. 58.7m call options on TUI shares, which are legally and financially separated from the warrant bond.

The main financing instrument is a syndicated revolving credit facility (RCF) between TUI AG and the existing bank-ing syndicate which from 2020, included the KfW. The volume of this revolving credit facility totals EUR3.635bn at 30 June 2022. At 31 March 2022 the size of the unused loan commitments under the separate KfW credit line within this syndicated revolving credit facility was reduced by EUR413.7m in April 2022 as well as by EUR336.0m in May.

In addition, there has been a separate syndicated revolving credit facility of EUR170.0m. This credit facility was fully cancelled in April 2022.

At 30 June 2022, the amounts drawn under the revolving credit facilities totalled EUR339.5m (30 September 2021 EUR1,852.9m).

Current financial liabilities decreased by EUR131.0m to EUR153.6m at 30 June 2022 compared to EUR284.6m at 30 Sep-tember 2021. The decrease results primarily from a reduction in liabilities to banks.

For more details on the terms, conditions and the reductions of the credit lines as well as the redemption of the bond with warrants, please refer to the section "Going Concern Reporting under the UK Corporate Governance Code". 17. Lease liabilities

(MORE TO FOLLOW) Dow Jones Newswires

August 10, 2022 02:01 ET (06:01 GMT)

DJ TUI AG: Q3 Interim Financial Report 1 October -13-

Compared to 30 September 2021, the lease liabilities increased by EUR1.9m to EUR3,231.3m. Additions from newly leased contracts led to an increase in lease liabilities of EUR163.6m, of which EUR154.4m relate to the addition of six new aircraft. Furthermore, lease liabilities increased by EUR205.9m due to foreign exchange translation and by EUR117.6m due to interest charges. Changes and remeasurements of existing leases resulted in an increase in lease liabilities of EUR58.3m. On the other hand, payments of EUR546.9m led to a decline in lease liabilities. 18. Other financial liabilities

The other financial liabilities include touristic advance payments received for tours cancelled because of COVID-19 restrictions of EUR33.3m (as at 30 September 2021 EUR204.6m), for which immediate cash refund options exist and which have to be repaid shortly if the customer opts for payment. Please see the following section for more details. 19. Touristic advance payments received

Apart from the immediate cash refund option in certain jurisdictions, TUI Group offers its customers voucher/refund credits for trips cancelled because of the COVID-19 crisis. If these voucher/refund credits are not used for future bookings within a specified period, the customer is entitled to a refund of the voucher value. The entitlement to a refund of the voucher value represents a financial liability. Due to the high level of uncertainty regarding the further development of the COVID-19 crisis and customer behavior, it is not possible for TUI Group to reliably estimate the extent of utilization of the voucher/refund credits for future bookings. As at 30 June 2022, the touristic advance payments received include no advance payments (as at 30 September 2021 EUR2.4m) for cancelled trips for which customers have received voucher/refund credits which may have to be refunded after a certain period of time. 20. Changes in equity

Overall, equity increased by EUR228.4m when compared to 30 September 2021, from EUR-418.4m to EUR-190.0m.

In October 2021, TUI AG carried out a capital increase for cash. 523.5m shares were issued. In May 2022, TUI AG carried out an additional capital increase for cash. 162.3m shares were issued. In total, the Company's subscribed capital increased due to the capital increases in the nominal amount of EUR1.00 per share by EUR685.8m.

The capital reserve increased by EUR837.1m in total. The change results from an increase related to the premium of the capital increases in the amount of EUR872.2m and a decrease due to offsetting of expenses incurred from capital measures in the amount of EUR35.1m.

The Silent Participation II was repaid early on 30 June 2022 in the amount of EUR671.0m. As part of this repayment, coupons and additional remuneration of EUR54.4m were paid. Of this, EUR51.0m directly reduces equity, while EUR3.4m is to be shown as interest expense.

In the first nine months of the financial year 2022, TUI AG paid no dividend (previous year: no dividend).

The Group's loss in the first nine months of the financial year 2022 is still significantly attributable to measures taken to contain the spread of Covid-19. In addition, after the restart of travel activities, the seasonal swing in tourism also has an effect again.

The proportion of gains and losses from hedging instruments for effective hedging of future cash flows includes an amount of EUR100.9m (pre-tax) carried under other comprehensive income in equity outside profit and loss (previous year EUR92.9m).

The revaluation of pension obligations is also recognised under other comprehensive income directly in equity without effect on profit and loss. 21. Financial instruments

The amounts shown in the column 'carrying amount' (as shown in the balance sheet) in the tables above can differ from those in the other columns of a particular row since the latter includes all financial instruments incorporating those financial instruments which are part of disposal groups according to IFRS 5. In the balance sheet, financial instruments, which are part of a disposal group, are shown separately. Further details on this can be found in the consolidated financial statements as of 30 September 2021.

The instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (OCI) within the other financial assets class are investments in companies based on medium to long-term strategic objectives. Recording all short-term fluctuations in the fair value in the income statement would not be in line with TUI Group's strategy; these equity instruments were, therefore, designated as at fair value through OCI.

In the period under review, the fair values of other current receivables and current liabilities to banks were determined in line with the past financial year, taking account of yield curves and the respective credit risk premium (credit spread) based on credit rating. Thus, as an adjustment to the current market conditions due to the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic to the business activities, the assumption that the carrying amount approximately corresponds to the fair value due to the short remaining term has been rejected.

The fair values of non-current trade receivables, other receivables and other financial assets correspond to the present values of the cash flows associated with the assets, taking account of current interest parameters which reflect market and counterparty-related changes in terms and expectations. For cash and cash equivalents, current trade receivables, current trade payables and other financial liabilities the carrying amount approximates the fair value due to the short remaining term.

DJ TUI AG: Q3 Interim Financial Report 1 October -14-

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted business operations and the existing hedging strategy for currency risks and fuel price risks. Due to numerous travel restrictions and limitations in the past two financial years, the occurrence of numerous hedged underlying transactions could no longer be assessed as highly likely, causing a decline in fuel price and currency hedge requirements and therefore requiring the prospective termination of these hedges.

For the hedges so affected, occurrence of the underlying transactions can no longer be expected for a future point in time, so that all accrued amounts from the change in the value of the relevant hedging instruments were reclassified from cash flow hedge reserve (OCI) to the cost of sales in the income statement. Despite the significant increase in bookings, EUR+0.4m were reclassified from foreign currency hedges in the current financial year. All future changes in the value of these de-designated hedges are taken to the cost of sales in the income statement through profit and loss and recognised as other derivative financial instruments from the date of the termination of the cash flow hedge accounting. At 30 June 2022 only foreign currency hedges have been de-designated as the highly expected forecasted transactions did not occur. The fair value of these reclassified hedging instruments totalled EUR+0.7m at a nominal volume of EUR12.1m.

Furthermore, the significant increase in TUI Group's credit risk had a direct impact on the retrospective hedge effectiveness test, because when calculating retrospective effectiveness, the credit risk is included in the derivative instrument entered into with the counterparty, but not in the hypothetical derivative. As a result, fuel price, interest rate and currency hedges had to be de-designated as they no longer met the effectiveness requirements of IAS 39. All future changes in the value of these de-designated fuel and foreign currency hedges are taken to the cost of sales, whilst interest rate hedges are recognised in the financial result, in the income statement through profit and loss, and recognised as other derivative financial instruments from the date of the termination of the cash flow hedge accounting. At 30 June 2022, the fair value of these reclassified fuel price hedges totalled EUR+79.6m at a nominal value of EUR107.3m, while the fair value of the interest rate hedges amounted to EUR+2.7m at a nominal volume of EUR354.5m and the fair value of foreign currency hedges totalled EUR+8.2m at a nominal volume of EUR85.7m.

Fair value measurement

The table below presents the fair values of recurring, non-recurring and other financial instruments measured at fair value in line with the underlying measurement level. The individual measurement levels have been defined as follows in line with the inputs:

-- Level 1: (unadjusted) quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

-- Level 2: inputs for the measurement other than quoted market prices included within Level 1 that areobservable in the market for the asset or liability, either directly (as quoted prices) or indirectly (derivablefrom quoted prices).

-- Level 3: inputs for the measurement of the asset or liability not based on observable market data.

At the end of every reporting period, TUI Group checks whether there are any reasons for reclassification to or from one of the measurement levels. Financial assets and financial liabilities are generally transferred out of Level 1 into Level 2 if the liquidity and trading activity no longer indicate an active market. The opposite situation applies to potential transfers out of Level 2 into Level 1. In the reporting period, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2.

Reclassifications from Level 3 to Level 2 or Level 1 are made if observable market price quotations become available for the asset or liability concerned. In the reporting period there were no other transfers from or to Level 3. TUI Group records transfers from or to Level 3 at the date of the obligating event or occasion triggering the transfer.

Level 1 financial instruments

The fair value of financial instruments for which an active market exists is based on quoted prices at the reporting date. An active market exists if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, pricing service or regulatory agency and these prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm's length basis. These financial instruments are classified as Level 1. The fair values correspond to the nominal amounts multiplied by the quoted prices at the reporting date. Level 1 financial instruments primarily comprise shares in listed companies classified as at fair value through OCI and bonds issued classified as financial liabilities at amortised cost.

Level 2 financial instruments

The fair values of financial instruments not traded in an active market, e.g., over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives, are determined by means of valuation techniques. These valuation techniques make maximum use of observable market data and minimise the use of Group-specific assumptions. If all essential inputs for the determination of the fair value of an instrument are observable, the instrument is classified as Level 2.

If one or several key inputs are not based on observable market data, the instrument is classified as Level 3.

The following specific valuation techniques are used to measure financial instruments:

-- For OTC bonds, debt components of warrants and convertible bonds, liabilities to banks, promissory notesand other non-current financial liabilities as well as for current other receivables, current financial liabilitiesand non-current trade and other receivables, the fair value is determined as the present value of future cashflows, taking account of observable yield curves and the respective credit spread, which depends on the creditrating.

-- The fair value of over-the-counter derivatives is determined by means of appropriate calculation methods,e.g. by discounting the expected future cash flows. The forward prices of forward transactions are based on thespot or cash prices, taking account of forward premiums and discounts. The fair values of optional hedges arecalculated based on option pricing models. The fair values determined on the basis of the Group's own systems areperiodically compared with fair value confirmations of the external counterparties.

-- Other valuation techniques, e.g., discounting future cash flows, are used to determine the fair values ofother financial instruments.

Evaluation process

The fair value of financial instruments in level 3 has been determined by TUI Group's financial department using the discounted cash flow method. This involves the market data and parameters required for measurement being compiled or validated. Non-observable input parameters are reviewed based on internally available information and updated if necessary.

In principle, the unobservable input parameters relate to the following parameters: the (estimated) EBITDA margin is in a range between -4.2% and 26.2% (30 September 2021: -4.2% and 22.5%). The constant growth rate is 1% (30 September 2021: 1%). The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is in a range between 9.75%-10.0% (30 September 2021: 8.8-9.9%). Due to materiality, no detailed figures have been provided. With the exception of the WACC, there is a positive correlation between the input factors and the fair value.

The decrease of the fair values of the Other financial assets in Level 3 mainly results from an valuation effect in the amount of -EUR1.4m and foreign exchange rate effects in the amount of -EUR1.9m.

The Other receivables according to IFRS 9 in Level 3 at a carrying amount of EUR106.3m as at 30 June 2022 (as at 30 September 2021 EUR108.1m) relate to a variable purchase price receivable from the sale of Riu Hotels S.A., carried as a financial instrument in the measurement category at fair value through profit and loss. The fair value is determined using a probability calculation for the future gross operating profit, taking account of contractual entitlements to an additional purchase price demand and an appropriate risk-adjusted discount rate (0.75% to 1.75%, 30 September 2021:

-0.33% to -0.22%). Gross operating profit is defined as total revenue minus operating expenses. The cash flows from the contractual claims set out in the underlying Memorandum of Understanding depend solely on a number of contractually determined Riu hotels delivering the gross operating profit for calendar years 2022 and 2023.

The variable purchase price payment varies as a function of delivering the contractually fixed gross operating profit. The maximum amount is limited. At least 90% of the target gross operating profit contractually agreed for 2022 or 2023, respectively, has to be achieved in order to generate a variable purchase price payment. If the 90% target is not met, no further purchase price payment will be made. The maximum purchase price payment totals EUR127.4m. Due to different expectations regarding target achievement, potential purchase price payments vary between EUR0 and EUR127.4m.

TUI expects the hotels concerned to deliver around 95% to 100% of cumulative gross operating profit in calendar year 2022 and around 100% to 105% in calendar year 2023. The current planning for the relevant hotels (input parameters) is regularly reviewed by the responsible accounting staff. In the period under review, within the scope of subsequent remeasurement a loss of EUR1.8m was recognised in the income statement in connection with the variable purchase price receivable from the sale of Riu Hotels S.A. due to the risk-adjusted discount rate.

Sensitivity analysis shows that an increase in the hotels' gross operating profit of 10% would result in a change in the present value of the additional purchase price receivable of EUR19.7m (as at 30 September 2021 EUR20m), while a reduction in gross operating profit of 10% would result in a change in the present value of EUR-94.4m (as at 30 September 2021 EUR-95.9m). An interest rate shift of +/-100 basis points would alter the present value of the purchase price receivable by EUR1.1m (as at 30 September 2021 EUR2.0m).

Other receivables in Level 3 in accordance with IFRS 9 include deferred purchase price receivables from the sale of Nordotel S.A. with a carrying amount of EUR30.6m at 30 June 2022, measured as a financial instrument at fair value through profit or loss. The deferred purchase price payments of EUR10.2m and EUR20.4m are due after one year and two years, respectively, following the closing of the transaction on 5 October 2021, taking account of final purchase price adjustments.

The cash flows of the final purchase price adjustments from the contractual claims arising from the underlying purchase contract exclusively depend on the delivery of balance sheet items defined in the purchase contract for net debt and working capital in the audited annual financial statements of Nordotel S.A. as per 30 September 2021 under Spanish law. The fair value is determined on the basis of an estimate of net debt and working capital, taking account of the contractual claims for additional payments in adjusted purchase price and an appropriate risk-adjusted discount rate (-0.14% to +1.13%).

Any deviation from the parameter results in a purchase price adjustment of the same amount. Sensitivity analysis shows that an interest rate shift of +/-100 basis points would alter the present value of the purchase price receivable by around EUR0.3m.

Effects on results

The effects of remeasuring financial assets carried at fair value through OCI as well as the effective portions of changes in fair values of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are listed in the statement of changes in equity. 22. Contingent liabilities

As at 30 June 2022, contingent liabilities amounted to EUR103.5m (as at 30 September 2021 EUR128.7m, previous year adjusted). They are mainly attributable to the granting of guarantees for the benefit of hotel and cruises activities and the granting of guarantees for contingent liabilities from aircraft leasing agreements. The contingent liabilities are reported at an amount representing the best estimate of the expenditure required to meet the potential obligation at the balance sheet date. 23. Other financial commitments

Nominal values of other financial commitments

Total                         2,470.8    2,477.8 

As at 30 June 2022 order commitments in respect of capital expenditure decreased by EUR64.1m as against

30 September 2021. The decrease in order commitments is attributed to delivery of aircraft. The reduction is to a greater extent partially off set by the effects of foreign exchange for order commitments denominated in non-functional currencies. The commitments for maintenance and repairs which are reported within other financial commitments increased particularly in the segment Hotels & Resorts after the business returned to normality. 24. Note to the unaudited condensed consolidated Cash Flow Statement

The cash flow statement shows the flow of cash and cash equivalents on the basis of a separate presentation of cash inflows and outflows from operating, investing and financing activities. The effects of changes in the group of consolidated companies and of foreign currency translation are eliminated.

In the period under review, cash and cash equivalents decreased by EUR2.7m to EUR1,583.4m.

In 9M 2022, the cash inflow from operating activities totalled EUR1,970.6m (9M 2021 cash outflow of EUR1,089.4m),

including an inflow of EUR6.1m (9M 2021 EUR3.8m) from interest payments, EUR0.3m dividends from non consolidated companies (9M 2021 EUR0.0m) and EUR0.2m dividends from companies using the at equity method (9M 2021 EUR13.4m). Income tax payments resulted in a cash outflow of EUR122.1m (9M 2021 EUR4.3m).

The total cash outflow from investing activities totalled EUR286.5m (9M 2021 cash inflow of EUR125.4m). This includes a cash outflow for capital expenditure on property, plant and equipment and intangibles of EUR376.5m. The Group recorded a cash inflow of EUR112.6m from the divestment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. A sales price adjustment for the sale of the stakes in Riu Hotels S.A., effected in the prior year, resulted in a cash outflow of EUR23.9m. A further EUR2.2m relates to cash balances leaving TUI Group in connection with the sale of Nordotel S.A. in the financial year under review. While the selling price had already been partly paid in the prior year, some payments are still due.

DJ TUI AG: Q3 Interim Financial Report 1 October -16-

The cash outflow from financing activities totalled EUR-1,662.4m (9M 2021 cash inflow of EUR1,228.3m). TUI AG recorded a cash inflow of EUR1,522.9m from capital increases in October 2021 and May 2022 after deduction of transaction costs. At the end of June, TUI AG fully repaid the Silent Participation II of EUR671.0m plus a coupon of EUR51.0m, presented as a dividend, to WSF (Economic Stabilisation Fund).

In the financial year under review, TUI AG decreased its syndicated credit facility by EUR1,523.4m. TUI Group companies took out loans worth EUR47.2m. A cash outflow of EUR688.5m resulted from the redemption of further financial liabilities, including EUR437.5m for lease liabilities. Interest payments resulted in an outflow of EUR298.7m.

Moreover, cash and cash equivalents decreased by EUR-24.4m (9M 2021 EUR27.0m) due to changes in exchange rates.

At 30 June 2022, cash and cash equivalents of EUR612.1m were subject to restrictions (as at 30 September 2021 EUR509.0m).

On 30 September 2016, TUI AG entered into a long term agreement to close the gap between the obligations and the fund assets of defined benefit pension plans in the UK. At the balance sheet date an amount of EUR67.6m is deposited as a security within a bank account (as at 30 September 2021 EUR46.4m). TUI Group can only use that cash and cash equivalents if it provides alternative collateral.

Furthermore, an amount of EUR116.1m (as at 30 September 2021 EUR116.3m) was deposited with a Belgian subsidiary without acknowledgement of debt by the Belgian tax authorities in financial year 2013 in respect of long-standing litigation over VAT refunds for the years 2001 to 2011. The purpose was to suspend the accrual of interest for both parties. In order to collateralise a potential repayment, the Belgian government was granted a bank guarantee. Due to the bank guarantee, TUI's ability to dispose of the cash and cash equivalents is restricted.

The remaining EUR428.4 (as at 30 September 2021 EUR346.3m) subject to restrictions relate to cash and cash equivalents to be deposited due to statutory or regulatory requirements mainly in order to secure customer deposit and credit card payables. 25. Reporting segments

The segment data shown are based on regular internal reporting to the Executive Board. Since the 2020 fiscal year, the internationally more commonly used earnings measure "underlying EBIT" is used for value-based management.

Accordingly, this represents the segment performance indicator within the meaning of IFRS 8.

We define the EBIT in underlying EBIT as earnings before interest, income taxes and expenses from the measurement of the Group's interest rate hedging instruments. Impairment losses on goodwill are by definition included in EBIT.

Underlying EBIT has been adjusted to exclude certain items which, due to their size and frequency of occurrence, make it difficult or distort the assessment of the operating performance of the business areas and the Group. These items include gains and losses on the disposal of financial assets, significant gains and losses on the disposal of assets, and significant restructuring and integration expenses. In addition, all effects from purchase price allocations, incidental acquisition costs and contingent purchase price payments are adjusted. Impairment losses on goodwill have also been eliminated in the reconciliation to underlying EBIT.

In 9M 2022, underlying EBIT includes results of investments accounted for using the equity method of EUR-9.2m (9M 2021 EUR-226.5m). For a split up by segments, please refer to Note 6 'Share of result of investments accounted for using the equity method'.

Net expenses for the separately disclosed items of EUR5.0m in the first nine months of financial year 2022 include restructuring expenses in the Northern Region (-EUR1m), Central Region (EUR25m) and TUI Musement (EUR1m) segments. In addition, adjustments were made for income of EUR22m from the divestment of the stake in Nordotel S.A, fully consolidated in the Hotels & Resorts segment, to Grupotel S.A., a joint venture of the TUI Group, offset by expenses of EUR2m from the revaluation of a purchase price receivable.

Net expenses for the separately disclosed items of EUR43.5m in the first nine months of financial year 2021 include income of EUR53m from the reversal of restructuring provisions no longer required in the Central Region due to the lower than expected reduction in fleet size at TUIfly. In addition, restructuring expenses of EUR89m were incurred in TUI Musement (EUR11m), Northern Region (EUR12m), Central Region (EUR8m), Western Region (EUR18m) and All other segments (EUR40m). Furthermore, disposal results from the sale of an investment in an aircraft asset company in Northern Region (-EUR2m) and Central Region (-EUR1m), the sale of two hotel companies in Hotels & Resorts (-EUR5m) and in Western Region (EUR2m) as well as an expense from a subsequent purchase price adjustment of EUR2m in All other segments were adjusted.

DJ TUI AG: Q3 Interim Financial Report 1 October -17-

As at 31 December 2021, Unifirm Ltd, Cyprus, held 34.0% of the shares in TUI AG (as at 30 September 2021 32.0%). Unifirm Ltd was indirectly controlled by Alexey Mordashov. TUI received voting rights notifications informing the company that a 4.1% stake in TUI AG had been transferred to Severgroup LLC, Russia, a company controlled by Alexey Mordashov, on 28 February 2022 via a number of share transfers, and that Alexey Mordashov had ceded control over Unifirm Ltd. The majority shareholder of Unifirm Ltd, which held 29.9% of the shares in TUI AG at the time of the notification of voting rights, was Ondero Ltd, British Virgin Islands. In a further regulatory notification TUI has been informed on 18 March 2022 that Marina Mordashova is the controlling shareholder of Ondero Ltd.

Moreover, the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action has informed TUI that it has initiated an assessment procedure under the Foreign Trade and Payments Act to ascertain whether the reported transactions are effective. Until the conclusion of these proceedings the transactions are pending invalid and the voting rights of Unifirm Ltd may not be exercised.

Alexey Mordashov was specified on a EU sanctions list on 28 February 2022, Marina Mordashova on 3 June 2022. Thus they do not have access to the shares in TUI AG controlled by them, the associated voting rights and economic benefits. This applies regardless of the outcome of the assessment procedures by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs. Mr Mordashov stepped down from TUI AG's Supervisory Board with immediate effect on 2 March 2022.

Accordingly Mr Mordashov and Mrs Mordashova and the companies controlled by them are not related parties to TUI AG.

On 4 March 2022 Mr Vladimir Lukin stepped down from TUI AG's Supervisory Board with immediate effect. On 1 April 2022 Mrs Sonja Austermühle and on 31 May 2022 Mrs Helena Murano and Mr Christian Baier joined the Supervisory Board of TUI AG.

More detailed information on related parties is provided under section 51 in the Notes to the consolidated financial statements 2021.

Review Report

To TUI AG, Berlin/Germany and Hanover/Germany

We have reviewed the condensed interim consolidated financial statements - comprising the condensed income statement, the condensed statement of comprehensive income, the condensed statement of financial position, the condensed statement of changes in equity, the condensed statement of cash flows as well as selected explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements - and the interim Group management report for the period from 1 October 2021 until 30 June 2022 of TUI AG, Berlin and Hanover, which are part of the financial report under § 115 WpHG section 7 (Wertpapierhandelsgesetz: German Securities Trading Act). The preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) applicable to interim financial reporting as adopted by the EU, and of the interim group management in accordance with the requirements of the WpHG applicable to interim Group management reports is the responsibility of the entity's executive board. Our responsibility is to issue a review report on the condensed interim consolidated financial statements and on the interim Group management report based on our review.

We conducted our review of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements and of the interim Group management report in compliance with the German Generally Accepted Standards for the Review of Financial Statements promulgated by the Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer (IDW) and in supplementary compliance with the International Standard on Review Engagements 2410 "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". Those standards require that we plan and perform the review to obtain a limited level of assurance to preclude through critical evaluation that the condensed interim consolidated financial statements have not been prepared, in material respects, in accordance with the IFRS applicable to interim financial reporting as adopted by the EU or that the interim Group management report has not been prepared, in material respects, in accordance with the requirements of the WpHG applicable to interim Group management reports. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of personnel of the entity and to analytical procedures applied to financial data and thus provides less assurance than an audit. Since, in accordance with our engagement, we have not performed an audit, we do not express audit opinion.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed interim consolidated financial statements of TUI AG, Berlin and Hanover, have not been prepared, in material respects, in accordance with the IFRS applicable to interim financial reporting as adopted by the EU, or that the interim Group management report has not been prepared, in material respects, in accordance with the requirements of the WpHG applicable to interim group management reports.

Zeitenwende! 3 Uranaktien vor der Neubewertung
Ende Mai leitete US-Präsident Donald Trump mit der Unterzeichnung mehrerer Dekrete eine weitreichende Wende in der amerikanischen Energiepolitik ein. Im Fokus: der beschleunigte Ausbau der Kernenergie.

Auslöser ist der explodierende Energiebedarf durch KI-Rechenzentren, der eine stabile, CO₂-arme Grundlastversorgung zwingend notwendig macht.

In unserem kostenlosen Spezialreport erfahren Sie, welche 3 Unternehmen jetzt im Zentrum dieser energiepolitischen Neuausrichtung stehen, und wer vom kommenden Boom der Nuklearindustrie besonders profitieren könnte.
