This Half Year Financial Report of the TUI Group was prepared for the reporting period H1 2019 from 1 
October 2018 to 31 March 2019. 
 
The TUI Group applied IFRS 15 and IFRS 9 retrospectively from 1 October 2018. In contrast to IFRS 15, IFRS 
9 was introduced without restating the previous year's figures. 
 
In Q1 2019, the Italian tour operators were transferred from All other segments to the Central Region. In 
addition, the Crystal Ski companies, which provide services in the destinations, were reclassified from 
Northern Region to Destination Experiences. Prior-year figures were adjusted accordingly. 
 
1 In order to explain and evaluate the operating performance by the segments, EBITA adjusted for one-off 
effects (underlying EBITA) is presented. Underlying EBITA has been adjusted for gains / losses on disposal 
of investments, restructuring costs according to IAS 37, ancillary acquisition costs and conditional 
purchase price payments under purchase price allocations and other expenses for and income from one-off 
items. Please also refer to page 15 for further details. 
 
2 EBITA comprises earnings before interest, income taxes and goodwill impairment. EBITA includes 
amortisation of other intangible assets. EBITA does not include ­measurement effects from interest hedges. 
 
3 EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, income taxes, goodwill impairment and amortisation and 
write-ups of other intangible assets, depreciation and write-ups of property, plant and equipment, 
investments and current assets. The amounts of amortisation and depreciation represent the net balance 
including write-backs. ­Underlying EBITDA has been adjusted for gains / losses on disposal of investments, 
restructuring costs according to IAS 37, ancillary acquisition costs and conditional purchase price 
payments under purchase price allocations and other expenses for and income from one-off items. 
 
4 For the reconciliation from EBITDA to the indicator EBITDAR, long-term leasing and rental expenses are 
eliminated. 
 
5 Equity divided by balance sheet total in %, variance is given in percentage points. 
 
Interim Management Report 
 
H1 Summary 
 
The increase in the H1 seasonal underlying EBITA loss to EUR 301 m (H1 2018: EUR 170 m loss) reflects the 
ongoing weak demand environment in Markets & Airlines. Holiday Experiences continues 
to perform well (reflecting the non-repeat of prior year disposal gains in Riu), benefitting from the 
integrated model and our investments in differentiated content.

For further detailed commentary, please see Segmental Performance (pages 7 to 11). 
 
As expected, the decline in Markets & Airlines' H1 result reflects the knock-on impact of the summer 2018 
heatwave, overcapacities in Spain arising from the shift in demand to Eastern Mediterranean, continued 
Brexit uncertainty, as well as particularly strong comparatives for Nordics in H1 last year. In addition, 
the result includes the initial impact from the 737 MAX grounding, which commenced in mid-March, and the 
later timing of Easter this year. 
 
Our strong market positions in Markets & Airlines are an important factor in the success of our integrated 
model, with a strong customer base and leading market shares. This is what helps to drive the high return 
on our investments in Holiday Experiences. We remain focussed on delivering the benefits of efficiency and 
digitalisation across the Group. 
 
In Holiday Experiences, our Hotels & Resorts (reflecting the non-repeat of prior year disposal gains in 
Riu), Cruises and Destination Experiences segments continue to perform well. This is due to the investment 
we have made in recent years to expand our differentiated content, and thanks to our integrated model, 
which drives occupancies, rate and yields in our hotels and cruise ships. 
 
Hotels & Resorts delivered a resilient performance in H1. The result reflects the non-repeat of prior year 
disposal gains, as well as the continued shift of demand from Spain to Turkey. As Turkey is primarily a 
Summer destination, and given that we have additional lease commitments in H1 2019 in order to secure 
additional capacity in that destination, the benefit to the Turkish hotels' result will be H2 weighted. 
Cruises continues to deliver a strong performance, taking into account additional dry dock and launch 
costs in H1. 
 
Net debt as at 31 March 2019 was EUR 1,964 m (H1 2018: EUR 576 m). As expected, net debt is returning to 
the normal seasonal pattern, as we complete reinvestment of disposal proceeds received in recent years. It 
also reflects the planned ongoing financing of our aircraft order book, with more aircraft being brought 
into ownership and under finance leases. 
 
Based on our building blocks for H2 growth, we therefore reiterate our updated FY19 underlying EBITA 
guidance as per our ad hoc announcement of 29 March 2019 of approximately - 17 % (assuming 737 MAX flight 
resumption mid-July) up to approximately - 26 % (assuming measures taken in relation to the grounding are 
extended to end of Summer 2019), compared with underlying EBITA rebased in FY18 of EUR 1,177 m1. Please 
refer to page 5 for further detail on the 737 MAX grounding. We believe that TUI's unique integrated model 
delivers high returns, and our strategic initiatives provide strong strategic positioning for future 
growth. 
 
1 Based on constant currency: FY19 comparative rebased in December 2018 to EUR 1,187 m to take into 
account EUR 40 m impact for revaluation of Euro loan balance within Turkish Lira entities in FY18, and 
adjusted further to EUR 1,177 m for retrospective application of IFRS 15 
 
Outlook and expected development 
 
Holiday Experiences 
 
Despite the pressures faced by Markets & Airlines, Holiday Experiences continues to perform well taking 
into account the Riu gains on disposals in Hotels & Resorts in the previous year. This is due to the 
investment we have made in recent years to expand our differentiated content and our integrated model (in 
order to drive occupancies, rates and yields in our hotels and cruise ships). 
 
We have opened 58 own hotels since the merger, with a pipeline of further openings to come. In terms of 
destinations, we have seen demand continue to shift from Western Mediterranean back to the Eastern 
Mediterranean and North Africa. In addition, demand for Mexico from US customers has softened, as a result 
of border tensions and safety concerns. Our portfolio of destinations, unique brands and strong 
distribution capability leave us well positioned to continue to deliver sector-­leading returns in Hotels 
& Resorts. 
 
In Cruises, we have launched three ships this year (new Mein Schiff 2, Marella Explorer 2, and in May 
Hanseatic nature) and continue to see good demand for these and the rest of our fleet. Load factor and 
yield performance remain in line with our expectations. In Destination Experiences, we are on track to 
deliver the integration of our prior year acquisitions, with continued growth in sales of excursions and 
activities. 
 
Markets & Airlines 
 
In Markets & Airlines, the weak demand environment persists as outlined in our Quarterly Statement Q1 
2019, resulting in significant yield and margin pressure. This is driven by a number of factors - reduced 
demand due to last year's extraordinary hot summer, slowdown of consumer confidence, Brexit uncertainty, 
shift in demand to the Eastern Mediterranean coupled with overcapacity of flights to Spain, as well as the 
737 MAX grounding. 
 
For Summer 2019, 59 % of the total programme has been sold compared with 62 % at this time last year. 
Bookings are down 3 %, with average selling price up 1 % against strong comparatives1. The competitive 
pricing environment means that this average selling price increase is not at a sufficient level to cover 
cost inflation. All markets are trading on lower margins then prior year, given the weaker demand 
environment and oversupply to some destinations such as Spain. We have taken a disciplined approach to 
capacity, which is flat compared with prior year, at the same time enabling us to protect our strong 
market leading positions. 
 
1 These statistics are up to 5 May 2019, shown on a constant currency basis, and relate to all customers 
whether risk or non-risk 
 
Four strategic initiatives 
 
We believe that TUI's unique integrated model delivers superior returns, and our strategic initiatives 
provide strong strategic positioning for future growth. 
 
· Grow Hotel & Cruise business with vertical integration to drive premium returns; 
 
· Protect and where possible extend strong positions in Markets & Airlines through revenue and cost base 
initiatives. These are focussed on digitalisation, mass-individualisation and upselling; airline 
efficiency; procurement; increased mobile distribution; and efficiency and standardisation of processes. 
 
· Add scale for own holiday experiences and expand into new markets, with our new GDN-OTA (Global 
Distribution Network-­Online Travel Agent) platform; and 
 
· Add scale in destination experience markets with our new tours and activities platform. 
 
Expected Development 
 
We have clear building blocks to deliver growth in H2. In Holiday Experiences we will deliver growth from 
our investments in hotels, cruises and destination experiences, with the annualisation of investment 
benefits from last year, plus new hotel openings and ship launches this year. In addition, we expect 
further recovery in demand for Turkey and North Africa, and the timing benefit of the later Easter. As 
previously flagged, these benefits will be offset by the one-off costs relating to the 737 MAX grounding, 
of around EUR 200 m (assuming grounding until mid-July) up to around EUR 300 m (assuming grounding until 
end of Summer). Please refer to page 5 for further detail on the 737 MAX grounding. 
 
TUI has strong strategic positioning for future growth, underpinned by our unique integrated model and 
strategic initiatives. The lifting of the 737 MAX grounding and a cyclical recovery in Markets & Airlines, 
would support growth beyond FY19, which will be further enhanced by revenue opportunities and cost base 
improvements. Additional growth will be delivered by growth investments in hotels and cruise ships, based 
on normalised run-rate net capex and investments (estimated to be around 3.5 % of turnover) and 
ring-fenced investments by joint ventures, as well as our scalable GDN-OTA and destination experiences 
platforms. 
 
Report on changes in expected development 
 
On 29 March 2019, we informed the markets via an ad hoc announcement that, following the grounding of the 
737 MAX aircraft, TUI has made arrangements in order to guarantee customers' holidays. The Group is 
utilising spare aircraft of its fleet, extending expiring leases for aircraft that were supposed to be 
replaced by 737 MAX aircraft, as well as leasing in additional aircraft. TUI's fleet, which comprises 
around 150 aircraft, currently includes 15 grounded 737 MAX for the UK, Belgium, the Netherlands and 
Sweden. A further eight 737 MAX are scheduled for delivery after the lifting of the grounding. 
 
Assuming 737 MAX flight resumption latest by mid-July, the Group currently expects to see a one-off impact 
on underlying EBITA of approximately EUR 200 m in connection with the 737 MAX grounding. This impact is 
especially attributable to costs related to the replacement of aircraft, higher fuel costs, other 
disruption costs, and the anticipated impact on trading. As a result of this one-off impact, the Executive 
Board of TUI AG has updated the guidance and now expects an underlying EBITA for FY19 of approximately 
minus 17 % compared with FY18 of EUR 1,177 m rebased1. 
 
As stated in the ad hoc announcement of 29 March 2019, the Executive Board of TUI AG expects a further 
negative one-off effect if it does not become sufficiently certain in the course of May that flying the 
737 MAX will resume by mid-July. TUI will then need to fully extend the measures until the end of the 
summer season. TUI confirms the expectation disclosed in the ad hoc notification of 29 March 2019 for this 
additional one-of impact until 30 September 2019 of up to EUR 100 m. For this scenario, the Executive 
Board of TUI AG had also updated the guidance on underlying EBITAfor FY19 to up to minus 26 % compared 
with FY18 of EUR 1,177 m rebased1. 
 
Due to the application of IFRS 15, turnover for FY18 has been adjusted to EUR 18.5 bn. Our guidance of 
around 3 % turnover growth in FY19 2 remains unchanged. 
 
1 Based on constant currency: FY19 comparative rebased in December 2018 to EUR 1,187 m to take into 
account EUR 40 m impact for revaluation of Euro loan balance within Turkish Lira entities in FY18, and 
adjusted further to EUR 1,177 m for retrospective application of IFRS 15

· Hotels & Resorts underlying EBITA for H1 decreased by EUR 37 m, reflecting the non-repeat of prior 
year disposal gains in Riu totalling EUR 38 m. Occupancy remained high, at 77 %. Average revenue per bed 
increased by 4 %, reflecting foreign exchange translation (mainly due to strengthening of the US 
dollar). 
 
· In Riu, underlying EBITA decreased compared with prior year, due to the non-repeat of disposal gains 
and driven by the continued shift of demand from Western to Eastern Mediterranean. In addition, demand 
from US customers for Mexico was softer, as a result of border tensions and safety concerns. Although 
lower than prior year, occupancy remains strong at 84 %. Average rate increased by 1 %, reflecting 
foreign exchange translation. 
 
· The result for Robinson was slightly below prior year as the result of a club closure for renovation 
during Q1, and seasonal losses of newly opened clubs. H1 occupancy grew by 5 % points to 68 %, driven by 
increased demand for clubs in Turkey and North Africa, as well as the build-up of demand for new clubs 
which opened last year. 
 
· Blue Diamond delivered an increase in underlying EBITA as a result of new hotel openings. The increase 
in average rate is due to foreign exchange translation. 
 
· Although demand for our Turkish hotels continues to improve, this is not so apparent from the H1 
(especially Q2) result due to the Summer weighted seasonality of these resorts, and due to the 
additional lease commitments taken in order to secure additional capacity. We therefore expect earnings 
improvement for Turkey to be more H2 weighted. 
 
· Since merger, 58 hotels have been opened, 69 % of which are in lower capital intensity models (managed 
or owned via joint venture).

· Cruises underlying EBITA increased by EUR 13 m in H1. Growth was driven by Marella and Hapag-Lloyd 
Cruises. 
 
· The TUI Cruises result was ahead of prior year. As expected, the increase in capacity was offset by 
the earlier than originally planned launch of new Mein Schiff 2 in the low yield Q2 season, a planned 
dry dock for Mein Schiff Herz, and the exit of Mein Schiff 1 from the fleet in H2 FY18. 
 
· TUI Cruises occupancy and average daily rate for H1 were in line with prior year, a good performance 
given the significant increase in German cruise capacity this year. The lower occupancy and slightly 
lower average daily rate in Q2 reflect the earlier launch of new Mein Schiff 2, meaning that sales 
started relatively close to launch. 
 
· Marella Cruises underlying EBITA increased due to the launch of Marella Explorer in H2 FY18 (formerly 
Mein Schiff 1) and good performance across the fleet, offset partly by dry dock days for the Marella 
Discovery and exit of the Spirit at the start of FY19. 
 
· Hapag-Lloyd Cruises underlying EBITA increased on prior year, driven by the non-repeat of prior year 
dry dock and improved occupancy and rates across the fleet, partially offset by the exit of Hanseatic at 
the start of FY19.

· H1 earnings growth was driven by the integration of last year's acquisition of Destination Management, 
offset partly by start-up losses in Musement. As a result of these acquisitions, Destination Experiences 
sold 2.4 million excursions and activities in H1, almost double the number of last year. 
 
· Our growth expectations for Destination Experiences are intact, driven by integration of acquisitions 
and launch of Musement as a fully digitalised, open platform for sales of excursions & activities.

· As expected, the Markets & Airlines H1 result reflects the reduced demand due to the summer 2018 
heatwave, overcapacities in Spain arising from the shift in demand to Eastern Mediterranean, continued 
Brexit uncertainty, as well as particularly strong comparatives for Nordics in H1 last year. In 
addition, the result includes the initial EUR 5 m impact from the 737 MAX grounding, which commenced in 
mid-March, and the EUR 22 m due to the later timing of Easter this year. 
 
· The current year result for Northern Region includes EUR 29 m gain which was crystallised on a hedge 
which is no longer required.

· In UK and Nordics, H1 demand was impacted by the factors outlined above. Customer volumes declined 5 % 
on prior year and margins were significantly lower. Nordics was particularly badly affected by the 
reduced demand due to last Summer's heatwave, with an 8 % drop in customer volumes and load factor 
reduction. 
 
· In addition, the later timing of Easter negatively impacted underlying EBITA by EUR 14 m, and the 
grounding of the 737 MAX increased costs by EUR 1 m. 
 
· Share of earnings for Canada also decreased in the quarter, primarily as a result of the year on year 
impact of fuel and currency rates. 
 
· These factors were partly offset by a EUR 29 m gain which crystallised during Q1 on a hedge which is 
no longer required.

· The improvement in Central Region underlying earnings was driven primarily by Germany, as a result of 
the non-repeat of the impact of the bankruptcy of Niki (EUR 20 m receivable write-off in prior year) as 
well as reduced overheads. 
 
· This was partly offset by weaker trading (for the reasons outlined above), the later timing of Easter 
(EUR 7 m) and higher airline cost base due to the loss of the Air Berlin / Niki contract. 
 
· Customer volumes for Central Region decreased by 2 % in H1, reflecting a reduction in airline capacity 
in Germany, offset partly by a significant volume increase in Poland as we continue to drive growth in 
that market. 
 
· Increasing the level of direct distribution continues to be a key focus especially for our German 
business. Direct distribution for Central Region in H1 was 49 % in H1, with online distribution at 21 %.

· In Western Region, margins across all three markets (Belgium, Netherlands, France) were impacted by 
weak trading and the factors outlined above. In addition, especially in France, the 'Gilets Jaunes' 
protests drove negative consumer sentiment. 
 
· Customer volumes for the region were broadly flat year on year, with growth in Benelux offset by 
capacity reductions in France. 
 
· In addition, the result reflects a higher level of airline disruption and staffing costs, as well as 
737 MAX grounding costs of (EUR 4 m) and the timing of Easter (EUR 1 m).

· The result for All other segments improved due to the reduction in head office costs and benefits from 
aircraft financing. 
 
· Corsair's revenues and earnings deteriorated on prior year due to increased delay, fuel and 
maintenance costs and the impact of the 'Gilet Jaunes' protests in France. On 18 March TUI ­announced 
the disposal of a majority stake in Corsair. 
 
Financial position and net assets 
 
Cash Flow / Net capex and investments / Net debt 
 
The cash outflow from operating activities increased by EUR 274.0 m to EUR 717.5 m. As well as the lower 
earnings in H1 2019, this was driven by a higher working capital outflow for the payment of hotel 
creditors than prior year, mainly as a result of increased capacity in Summer 2018 in Central Region. 
 
Net debt is defined as financial debt less cash and cash equivalents and future short-term 
interest-bearing investments. As expected, net debt level is returning to the normal seasonal pattern, as 
we complete reinvestment of disposal proceeds received in recent years. It also reflects the planned 
ongoing financing of our aircraft order book, with more aircraft being brought into ownership and under 
finance leases.

The increase in net capex and investments in H1 2019 was mainly driven by the acquisition of Marella 
Explorer 2, acquisitions in Hotels & Resorts related to our core hotel brands Riu, Robinson and TUI Blue 
as well as the acquisitions of the online platform Musement and further companies from Hotelbeds. The 
development of divestments was related to the sale of the majority stake in Corsair, while the prior-year 
figure included the sale of three Riu hotels.

Foreign Exchange / Fuel 
 
Our strategy of hedging the majority of our jet fuel and currency requirements for future seasons, as 
detailed below, remains unchanged. This gives us certainty of costs when planning capacity and pricing. 
The following table shows the percentage of our forecast requirement that is currently hedged for Euros, 
US Dollars and jet fuel for our Markets & Airlines, which account for over 90 % of our Group currency and 
fuel exposure.

Comments on the consolidated income statement 
 
TUI Group's results reflect the significant seasonal swing in tourism between the winter and summer travel 
months. The Group seeks to counteract the seasonal swing through a broad range of holiday offerings in the 
summer and winter season and its presence in different travel markets worldwide with varying annual 
cycles. 
 
The consolidated income statement reflects the seasonality of the tourism business, with negative results 
generated in the period from October to March.

adjusted due to the first-time application of IFRS 9 
 
In the first half of 2019, turnover totalled EUR 6.7 bn, up 1.7 % year-on-year. This increase reflects the 
expanded business volume resulting from the acquisition of the Destination Management division of 
Hotelbeds Group and the Italian Technology Start-up Musement, offset by decreased turnover in Markets & 
Airlines. 
 
The year-on-year decline in the result from continuing operations was attributable to a weaker operating 
performance in Markets & Airlines, profits from the sale of two hotel companies, a hotel and one aircraft 
included in previous year's numbers, partly offset by higher financial income. 
 
Alternative performance measures 
 
Key indicators used to manage the TUI Group are underlying EBITA and EBITA. 
 
EBITA comprises earnings before interest, taxes and goodwill impairments. EBITA includes amortisation of 
other intangible assets. It does not include the result from the measurement of interest hedges. 
 
Underlying EBITA has been adjusted for gains on disposal of financial investments, restructuring expenses 
according to IAS 37, all effects from purchase price allocations, ancillary acquisition costs and 
conditional purchase price payments and other expenses for and income from one-off items. 
 
The table below shows a reconciliation of earnings before taxes from continuing operations to underlying 
earnings.

* Prior-year figures adjusted due to restrospective application of IFRS 15 
 
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 in particular major restructuring and 
integration expenses not meeting the criteria of IAS 37, material expenses for litigation, gains and 
losses from the sale of aircraft and other material business transactions with a one-off character. 
 
In H1 2019, adjustments (including individual items and purchase price allocations) totaling EUR 45.3 m 
(previous year: EUR 33.7 m) were made. The individual items adjusted in the quarter under review mainly 
relate to one-off payments in connection with the conversion of the pension plan in the United Kingdom to 
a defined contribution plan and the loss on the Corsair disposal. In the prior-­year period, in addition 
to expenses from purchase price allocations, restructuring costs for the integration of Transat in France 
and the restructuring of our German airline in particular had to be adjusted. 
 
The TUI Group's operating loss adjusted for one-off effects increased by EUR 130.9 m to EUR 300.6 m in H1 
2019.

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. Full details of our risk governance framework and 
principal risks can be found in the Annual Report 2018. 
 
Details see Risk Report in our Annual Report 2018, from page 40 
 
Active principal risks 
 
IT development & strategy; growth strategy; integration & restructuring opportunities; corporate & social 
responsibilities; information security; impact of Brexit 
 
Monitored principal risks 
 
Destination disruption; customer demand*; input cost volatility; seasonal cashflow profile; legal & 
regulatory compliance; health & safety; supplier reliance; joint venture partnerships 
 
* The principal risks Macroeconomic and Competition & Customer Preferences, ­included in the 2018 Annual 
Report are both related to trading and therefore have been consolidated and renamed to Customer Demand 
 
With regard to the UK's exit from the EU in 2019, the main concern remains whether our airlines will 
continue to have access to EU airspace. We are continuing to address the importance of there being a 
special agreement for aviation between the EU and the UK post Brexit to protect consumer choice with the 
relevant UK and EU ministers and officials, and are in regular exchange with relevant regulatory 
authorities. While the date for the UK's exit from the EU has recently been delayed until latest 31st 
October 2019, we continue to develop scenarios and mitigating strategies for various outcomes, including a 
"hard Brexit", depending on the political negotiations, with a focus to alleviate potential impacts from 
Brexit for the Group. 
 
The risks flagged in the Report on changes in expected development related to 737 MAX grounding fall 
within the supplier reliance and destination disruption principal risk categories. As per our Ad-hoc Risk 
Reporting guidelines included in the Annual Report 2018, the grounding was reported directly to the 
Executive Board outside of the quarterly process.

Notes 
 
General 
 
The TUI Group, with its major subsidiaries and other shareholdings, operates in the tourism business. TUI 
AG based in Hanover and Berlin, Germany, is TUI Group's parent company and a listed corporation under 
German law. The shares in the Company are traded on the London Stock Exchange and the Hanover and 
Frankfurt Stock Exchanges. 
 
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements of TUI AG and its subsidiaries cover the period 
from 1 October 2018 to 31 March 2019. The interim consolidated financial statements are prepared in euros. 
Unless stated otherwise, all amounts are stated in million euros (EURm). 
 
The interim consolidated financial statements were released for publication by the Executive Board of TUI 
AG on 13 May 2019. 
 
Accounting principles 
 
Declaration of compliance 
 
The interim consolidated financial statements for the period ended 31 March 2019 comprise condensed 
interim consolidated financial statements and an interim Group management report in accordance with § 115 
of the German Securities Trading Act (WpHG). 
 
The interim consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with the International Financial 
Reporting Standards (IFRS) of the International Acounting 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 Group's 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 AG's consolidated financial statements for financial year 2018. The interim financial statements 
were reviewed by the Group's auditors. 
 
Going concern report according to the UK Corporate Governance Code 
 
TUI Group meets its day-to-day working capital requirements through cash in hand, bank balances and loans 
from financial institutions. As at 31 March 2019, TUI Group's net debt position (financial liabilities 
less short-term interest-bearing bank balances) totals EUR 1,964.1 m (as at 30 September 2018 net 
financial assets of EUR 123.6 m). The increase in net debt versus year-end is driven by normal seasonal 
cash outflows, mainly within the tour operator. 
 
The Group's main financial liabilities and credit lines as at 31 March 2019 are: 
 
· a bond 2016 / 21 with a nominal value of EUR 300.0 m, issued by TUI AG, maturing in October 2021, 
 
· EUR 150.0 m drawn from an external revolving credit facility worth EUR 1,535.0 m maturing in July 
2022, used to manage the seasonality of the Group's cash flows and liquidity, 
 
· Schuldschein with a maximum maturity until July 2028 with a nominal value of EUR 425.0 m, issued by 
TUI AG, 
 
· short-term euro commercial papers worth EUR 220.5 m, 
 
· further liabilities to banks worth EUR 460.4 m, and 
 
· finance lease obligations worth EUR 1,526.9 m. 
 
The revolving credit facility agreement contains certain financial covenants, which were fully complied 
with at the reporting date. 
 
The expectations and forecasts have shown that TUI Group will continue to have sufficient funds available 
from borrowings and operating cash flows in order to meet its payment obligations for the foreseeable 
future and guarantee its ability to continue as a going concern. 
 
In conformity with Rule C1.3 of the UK Corporate Governance Code, the Executive Board confirms that it 
considers it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the consolidated 
financial statements. 
 
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 as at the balance sheet 
date and the reported values of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may 
deviate from the estimates. 
 
The accounting and measurement methods adopted in the preparation of the interim financial statements as 
at 31 March 2019 are materially consistent with those followed in preparing the previous consolidated 
financial statements for the financial year ended 30 September 2018. Exceptions to this are the standards 
and interpretations applied for the first time in financial year 2019, in particular the standards on 
Revenue Recognition (IFRS 15) and recognition of Financial Instruments (IFRS 9), applied as at 1 October 
2018. 
 
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 the financial year 2019 the following standards and interpretations amended or 
newly issued by the IASB have been applied by TUI for the first time either mandatorily or voluntarily:

The amendments to IFRS 4 "Applying IFRS 9 Financial Instruments with IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts", 
published on 12 September 2016 and effective for the first time in the financial year under review, are 
not relevant for TUI Group. 
 
IFRS 9 
 
The first-time application of IFRS 9 primarily has the following effects on TUI: 
 
· Financial assets were reclassified based on the relevant business models for managing the financial 
assets and the cash flows characteristics associated with the financial assets. With the exception of 
the equity and debt instruments previously classified as "financial assets available for sale" under IAS 
39 (see next item), this reclassification did not result in any material changes in measurement 
categories. Based on our assessment, all financial assets previously measured at amortised cost also 
meet the conditions for classification as "measured at amortised cost" under IFRS 9. 
 
· All equity instruments held were irrevocably allocated to the new measurement category "financial 
assets at fair value recognised in OCI". Debt instruments previously classified in the measurement 
category "financial assets available for sale" are designated as measured at fair value through profit 
or loss under IFRS 9. The determination of the fair values of the investments measured at cost under IAS 
39 resulted in an overall increase in the carrying amount of EUR 22.9 m due to the transition to IFRS 9, 
recognised in other comprehensive income in line with the transition requirements. 
 
· The classification of financial liabilities did not give rise to any changes in measurement 
categories. TUI does not apply the so-called fair value option. The transition from IAS 39 to IFRS 9 
therefore had no effect. 
 
· An impairment loss is recognised for financial assets measured at amortised cost. The simplified 
approach is applied to trade receivables and all expected losses over the term of the contract are 
recognised upon initial recognition. In this context, TUI uses historical loss rates adjusted for credit 
default swaps (CDS) rates. For all other financial assets within the scope of IFRS 9, such as touristic 
loans, impairments are determined using the general approach. TUI calculates the expected credit losses 
on the basis of default probabilities determined on the basis of an internal rating model. The CDS rates 
are also used as forward-looking element in the general approach of the impairment model. If the default 
risk of the financial asset has not deteriorated significantly since initial recognition, 12-month 
credit losses are calculated. In the event of a significant deterioration in the default risk, value 
adjustments are recognised in the amount of the expected credit losses over the term. It is reviewed 
quarterly whether the credit risk has increased significantly. The transition from the incurred loss 
model to the new expected credit loss model resulted in an overall increase in loan loss provisions of 
EUR 21.8 million upon transition to IFRS 9, which was recognised directly in equity. As a result, the 
impairment loss changed from EUR 96.6 million to EUR 118.4 million. 
 
· TUI Group exercises the option to continue to apply the hedge accounting requirements of IAS 39 under 
IFRS 9. 
 
In the retrospective first-time application of IFRS 9, TUI Group exercises the option not to restate 
comparative periods but to continue presenting them in line with previous IAS 39 rules. The cumulative 
first-time application effect from the transition to IFRS 9 is recognised in equity as at 1 October 2018. 
 
The table below shows the reconciliation of the categories and carrying amounts of the financial assets 
and the effects of the transition to IFRS 9 on the Group's equity.

IFRS 15 
 
In May 2014, IASB issued IFRS 15 (Revenues from Contracts with Customers). TUI Group applied IFRS 15 for 
the first time as at 1 October 2018, using the retrospective method under which the comparative period is 
presented in line with IFRS 15. As at 1 October 2017, the transition date, the first-time application of 
IFRS 15 resulted in a decrease in equity of EUR 41.4 m (after tax). The application of IFRS 15 lead in 
particular to the following results: 
 
· The flights, hotel nights and other services included in a package holiday are transformed into one 
product for customers within the meaning of IFRS 15, TUI as a tour operator, provides a significant 
service of integrating these services into a bundle, so that a package holiday constitute a single 
performance obligation for TUI. 
 
· Tour operator revenue recognition: Depending on the specific terms and conditions of the relevant 
contract, most tour operator revenue transactions were recognised on departure, i. e. at a point in 
time, under IAS 18. According to IFRS 15, revenue is now recognised when TUI performs the service for 
the customer, i. e. over the duration of the holiday, as customers consume their holidays over time. 
Compared with the rules of IAS 18, this usually leads to a change of timing for recognition of revenues 
and costs to a later date. 
 
· Change of presentation in the income statement: Due to the transition to IFRS 15, TUI has presented 
some revenue from tour operation under certain business models, previously shown on a gross basis under 
turnover and cost of sales, on a net basis since this financial year. This primarily affects 
passenger-related taxes and charges as well as denied boarding compensation, shown on a net basis under 
revenues under IFRS 15. 
 
· The application of IFRS 15 for joint ventures and associates measured at equity also created effects 
impacting underlying EBITA through the result from joint ventures and associates. 
 
TUI applies the practical expedient offered under IFRS 15.63, dispensing with accounting for existing 
financing components in contracts with a term of one year or less. Advance payments received from 
customers constitute contract liaibilities within the meaning of IFRS 15. The effects of the first-time 
application of IFRS 15 on TUI Group's consolidated financial statements are summarised in the section on 
"Restatement of comparative periods". 
 
The effects of the recognition of additional revenues and tourist expenses at the beginning of a financial 
year and lower revenues and tourism expenses at the end of a financial year driven by the new, later 
revenue recognition under IFRS 15 compared with revenue recognition on departure, i. e. at a point in 
time, under IAS 18 will almost completely offset one another on constant business volumes. 
 
Restatement of comparative periods 
 
TUI Group has retrospectively applied IFRS 15 and IFRS 9 as at 1 October 2018 as described in the section 
"Newly applied standards". Unlike IFRS 15, IFRS 9 was introduced without a restatement of prior year 
comparatives. In order to improve the presentation and the comparability of the financial statements, the 
comparative figures for impairments on financial assets have been reclassified to the new line introduced 
by IFRS 9 accordingly. 
 
Additionally, Purchase Price Allocation restatements for the business Destination Management resulted in a 
restatement of prior-year comparatives in the statement of financial position (for further details, see 
comments in the section on "Acquisitions").

The acquisitions of travel agencies in Germany in the first half of financial year 2019 were carried out 
as asset deals. The goal of these acquisitions and the acquisition of the travel agency Reisebüro 
Oggersheim Frank Jochim GmbH, Ludwigshafen, is to increase the footprint in the German market. These 
acquisitions will be disclosed as 'Travel Agencies' in the following. 
 
The acquisition of the technology start-up Musement S.p.A., Milan, Italy, aiming to strengthen the growth 
sector TUI Destination Experiences, included the acquisition of four additional companies. The acquisition 
served to acquire a digital platform, which is one of the leading online providers of destination 
activities, tours and excursions. The goal of the transaction is to strengthen TUI's position in this 
business and expand its holiday experiences portfolio. Apart from the purchase price for the acquisition 
of the stake totalling EUR 35.5 m, TUI also acquired receivables from the former owners against the 
company and liabilities of the acquired company worth EUR 4.7 m. 
 
The acquisition of a stake in Evre Grup Turizm Yatirim Anonim Sirketi, Ankara, also resulted in an 
increase in TUI Group's stake in the company's Ankara-based subsidiary ETA Turizm ve Yatirim Isletmeleri 
A.S. from 15 % to 100 %. The goal of the transaction is to increase TUI's earnings potential. The 
investment, previously classified as an equity instrument under IFRS 9, was measured at fair value outside 
profit and loss. In the course of the first-time consolidation a revaluation loss worth EUR 1.8 m was 
disclosed in other comprehensive income.

provisionally carried as goodwill. It primarily constitutes a part of the future earnings potential and 
synergy effects. Goodwill capitalised in the period under review includes an amount of EUR 1.2 m which is 
expected to be tax-deductible.

The gross amounts of the acquired trade receivables totalled EUR 0.3 m for Musement S.p.A., Milan and EUR 
0.8 m for Evre Grup Turizm Yatirim A.S., Ankara and EUR 0.3 m for the travel agencies at the date of 
acquisition. No impairments were carried. 
 
Especially the measurement of other intangible assets of Musement S.p.A., Milan, and specific acquired 
assets and liabilities of Evre Grup Turizm Yatirim Anonim Sirketi, Ankara, and the travel agency Reisebüro 
Oggersheim Frank Jochim GmbH, Ludwigshafen, was not yet finalised as at the reporting date based on the 
information available. 
 
In financial year 2018, a purchase agreement was concluded between HNVR Midco Limited, the seller, and TUI 
AG. Under the agreement, HNVR Midco Limited was obliged to transfer the stakes in 53 companies forming the 
Destination Management division. Due to local legal requirements, six companies were not transferred until 
the current financial year 2019, finalising the total transaction as scheduled. The purchase price for the 
transfers to be finalised in the current financial year totals EUR 31.3 m. The total purchase price 
including the purchase price for the companies acquired in the previous year amounts to EUR 126.1 m. 
 
The Destination Management business primarily provides the delivery of services and leisure activities in 
the holiday destinations and services for the cruise sector. The goal of the acquisition is to expand the 
Group's global market presence in the activities and excursions business and deliver operational synergies 
so as to become one of the world's leading providers of destination services. 
 
Non-controlling interests were measured as the corresponding share of current equity instruments in the 
amounts carried for the identifiable net assets of the acquired business division. The gross amounts of 
the acquired trade receivables of this year's transferrred companies of Destination Management amounted to 
EUR 6.3 m as at the acquisition date. Impairments were carried at an amount of EUR 0.2 m.The goodwill 
provisionally capitalised for the Destination Management companies transferred in financial year 2019 
totals EUR 12.4 m. Due to the provisional nature of amount determined, that goodwill constitutes expected 
synergies plus potential measurement adjustments of intangible assets. 
 
The measurement of some parts of the assets and liabilities acquired in the framework of the acquisition 
of Destination Management was not yet finalised as at the reporting date. Due to the high complexity 
resulting from the acquisition of a large number of companies with different business areas and currency 
areas, the numbers presented are provisional for the time being. While identification of intangible assets 
has been finalised, measurement is not yet finalised and the determined values remain provisional.

the acquired companies had already been included in consolidation as at 1 October 2018. 
 
Acquisitions of the prior financial year 
 
As at 31 March 2019, the purchase price allocation of the Destination Management companies already 
acquired as at the end of financial year 2018 was adjusted to the current status of the measurement 
process as follows:

The adjustments caused an increase in cost of sales and expenses of purchase price allocations by EUR 1.3 
m and a decrease in income taxes by EUR 0.3 m in previous year. The provisional goodwill has been adjusted 
from EUR 82.3 m by EUR 44.1 m to an amount of EUR 38.2 m. 
 
In the presented financial statements, the purchase price allocations for the Cruisetour AG, Zurich, 
Suisse, the Croisimonde AG, Zug, Suisse and the three travel agencies acquired in the first half-year of 
the prior financial year were finalised without a material impact on the consolidated statement of 
financial position. The purchase price allocation of last year's acquisition of Antwun S.A. is not yet 
finalised in terms of specific receivables and liabilities due to an outstanding report. 
 
After the balance sheet date no material acquisitions have been completed. 
 
Divestments 
 
On 15 March 2019, Corsair S.A. was sold to Diamondale Ltd for one euro. At the same time, a 27 % stake in 
Diamondale Ltd. was acquired for one euro. This investment is carried as an associate in TUI AG's 
consolidated financial statements. Other shareholders in Diamondale Ltd. are Intro Aviation GmbH and a 
trust fund for the benefit of the employees of Corsair S.A. The divestment of Corsair S.A. resulted in a 
loss of EUR 11.1 m, carried under Other expenses. This loss includes income from the reclassification of 
amounts previously recognised in Other Comprehensive Income.

Notes to the consolidated income statement 
 
TUI Group's results reflect the significant seasonal swing in tourism between the winter and summer travel 
months. The Group seeks to counteract the seasonal swing through a broad range of holiday offerings in the 
summer and winter season and its presence in different travel markets worldwide with varying annual 
cycles. The consolidated income statement reflects the seasonality of the tourism business, with the 
consequence that the result generated in the period from October to March is negative. Due to the 
seasonality of the business, a comparison of the first half year's results with the full-year results is 
not meaningful. 
 
(1) Turnover 
 
Turnover grew by 1.7 % year-on-year in H1. The turnover growth is driven primarily by an increase in the 
business volume as a result of the acquisitions of Destination Management from Hotelbeds Group and the 
Italian technology start-up Musement, offset by decreased turnover in Markets & Airlines.

(2) Cost of sales and administrative expenses 
 
Cost of sales represent the expenses incurred to deliver tourism services. In addition to the expenses for 
staff costs, depreciation, amortisation, rent and leasing, they include all costs incurred by the Group in 
connection with the procurement and delivery of airline services, hotel accommodation and cruises as well 
as distribution costs. 
 
Administrative expenses comprise all expenses incurred in connection with the performance of 
administrative functions and break down as follows:

(3) Other income 
 
In H1 2019, other income mainly resulted from the sale of aircraft assets. In the prior year, this item 
had primarily included income from the sale of two hotel companies as well as a hotel. 
 
(4) Other expenses 
 
Other expenses include an amount of EUR 11.1 m for the loss arising from the sale of Corsair S.A. 
 
(5) Financial result 
 
The improvement in the financial result from EUR- 50.4 m in the first half of the previous year to EUR- 
9.2 m in the current financial year results above all from a reversal of a provision for interest due to a 
revaluation of tax liabilities, from changes in foreign exchange rates relating to financial instruments, 
and the closing out of foreign exchange hedges no longer required.

(7) Income taxes 
 
The tax income arising in the first half of 2019 is partly driven by the seasonality of the tourism 
business. Due to a revaluation of tax liabilities, tax liabilities worth EUR 40.5 m were reversed. 
 
(8) Group loss attributable to non-controlling interest 
 
The Group result attributable to non-controlling interests is substantially a profit, primarily relating 
to RIUSA II Group at an amount of EUR 52.9 m (previous year EUR 70.7 m). 
 
Notes to the financial position of the TUI Group 
 
(9) Goodwill 
 
Goodwill rose by EUR 76.6 m due to acquisitions and by EUR 36.4 m due to foreign currency translation. 
 
(10) Property, plant and equipment 
 
Property, plant and equipment totals EUR 5,475.1 m, up by EUR 575.9 m as against the financial year-end. 
The increase is primarily attributable to the purchase of aircraft assets worth EUR 313.2 m, spent to 
acquire six aircraft under finance leases, for which a total of EUR 205.8 m of finance lease liabilities 
were carried as liabilities in the statement of financial position. In addition, Marella Cruises acquired 
Explorer 2 for EUR 115.7 m and invested a further EUR 46.3 m to refurbish the ship. The Hotels & Resorts 
segment acquired hotel assets totalling EUR 310.0 m, partly through company acquisitions. Exchange 
differences resulted in an increase in property, plant and equipment of EUR 91.8 m, partly offset by 
depreciation / amortisation for H1 2019 and the completion of disposals, in particular the sale of Corsair 
S.A. 
 
(11) Pension provisions and similar obligations 
 
Pension commitments rose mainly due to lower discount rates as a result of the considerable decline in 
interest rate levels in the UK and Germany. In the UK, this increase was more than offset by contributions 
to the pension plan and a sound development of plan assets. 
 
Pension provisions for unfunded plans and plans with a shortfall in coverage grew by EUR 43.7 m to EUR 
1,038.5 m as against the end of the financial year. 
 
Pension plans with an excess of plan assets over funded obligations carried under other non-financial 
assets grew by EUR 49.9 m to EUR 175.0 m as against 30 September 2018. 
 
(12) Financial liabilities 
 
Non-current financial liabilities rose by EUR 260.6 m to EUR 2,511.3 m as against 30 September 2018 . This 
was mainly driven by an increase in liabilities from finance leases of EUR 172.5 m and an increase in 
liabilities to banks of EUR 87.6 m. 
 
As at 31 March 2019, current financial liabilities grew by EUR 397.9 m to EUR 590.1 m as against 30 
September 2018. The increase mainly results from the use of short-term credit lines and alternative 
short-term refinancing options to cover the payments due in the wake of the seasonality in tourism. 
 
(13) Changes in equity 
 
Overall, equity decreased by EUR 989.6 m to EUR 3,290.4 m as against 30 September 2018. Due to the 
first-time application of IFRS 9 equity decreased by EUR 5.8 m taking into consideration deferred taxes. 
 
In the first half of 2019, TUI AG paid a dividend of EUR 0.72 per no-par value share. Total dividend 
payments to the shareholders amounted to EUR 423.3 m (previous year EUR 381.8 m). 
 
The Group loss in the first half of the year is attributable to the seasonality of the tourism business. 
 
The proportion of gains and losses from cash flow hedges for future cash flows includes an amount of EUR- 
342.8 m (pre-tax) carried under other comprehensive income in equity outside profit and loss (previous 
year EUR 21.3 m). 
 
The revaluation of pension obligations is also carried under other comprehensive income in equity outside 
profit and loss.

Due to the short remaining terms of cash and cash equivalents, current trade and other receivables, 
current trade payables and other financial liabilities, the carrying amounts are taken as realistic 
estimates of the fair values. 
 
The fair values of non-current trade and other receivables correspond to the present values of the cash 
flows associated with the assets, using current interest parameters which reflect market- and 
counter­party-related changes in terms and expectations.

Fair value measurement 
 
The following table presents the fair values of the recurring, non-recurring and other financial 
instruments recognised at fair value in accordance with the underlying measurement levels. The individual 
levels have been defined as follows in line with the input factors: 
 
· Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. 
 
· Level 2: input factors for the measurement are quoted market price other than those mentioned in Level 
1, directly (as market price quotation) or indirectly (derivable from market price quotation) observable 
in the market for the asset or liability. 
 
· Level 3: input factors for the measurement of the asset or liability are based on non-observable 
market data.

At the end of every reporting period, TUI 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 first half of the current financial year, in 
accordance with the first-time application of IFRS 9, it should be noted that investments measured at cost 
in accordance with IAS 39 are measured at fair value due to the changeover to IFRS 9. These investments 
are therefore included in the fair value measurement for the first time. They are reported in Level 3 of 
the valuation hierarchy. TUI 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 is available is based on the market 
price quotation at the balance sheet date. An active market exists if price quotations are easily and 
regularly available from a stock exchange, traders, brokers, price service providers or regulatory 
authorities, and if these prices represent actual and regular market transactions between independent 
business partners. These financial instruments are categorised within Level 1. The fair values correspond 
to the nominal values multiplied by the price quotations at the balance sheet date. 
 
Level 1 financial instruments primarily comprise shares of listed companies classified as other financial 
assets and bonds issued in the class of other financial liabilities measured at amortised cost. 
 
Level 2 financial instruments 
 
The fair values of financial instruments not traded in an active market, e. g. over the counter 
derivatives (OTC), are determined by means of valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise 
the use of observable market data and minimise the use of Group-specific assumptions. If all essential 
input factors for the determination of the fair value of an instrument are observable, the instrument is 
categorised within Level 2. 
 
If one or several of the essential input factors are not based on observable market data, the instrument 
is categorised within Level 3. 
 
The specific valuation techniques used for the measurement of financial instruments are: 
 
· For over the counter bonds, liabilities to banks, promissory notes and other non-current financial 
liabilities, the fair value is determined as the present value of future cash flows, taking account of 
observable yield curves and the respective credit spread, which depends on the credit rating. 
 
· For over the counter derivatives, the fair value 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 the spot or cash prices, taking account of forward premiums and discounts. The fair value 
calculations of optional hedging instruments are determined using standard market valuation methods. The 
fair values determined on the basis of the Group's own systems are regularly compared with fair value 
confirmations of the external counterparties. 
 
· Other valuation techniques, e. g. discounting future cash flows, are used for the measurement of the 
fair values of other financial instruments.

(15) Contingent liabilities 
 
As at 31 March 2019, contingent liabilities totalled EUR 153.0 m (previous year EUR 118.7 m). Contingent 
liabilities are reported at an amount representing the best estimate of the potential expenditure that 
would be required to meet the potential obligation as at the balance sheet date. 
 
As at 31 March 2019, contingent liabilities mainly relate to the provision of guarantees for the benefit 
of hotel and aviation activities.

The increase in commitments from operating lease, rental and charter agreements of EUR 205.4 m as at 31 
March 2019 resulted in particular from commitments for new hotel projects. 
 
As at 31 March 2019, order commitment in respect of capital expenditure declined by a total of EUR 637.7 m 
as against 30 September 2018. This was mainly attributable to the delivery of aircrafts and a cruise ship 
in the United Kingdom. 
 
(17) Note to the Group's cash flow statement 
 
In the reporting period, cash and cash equivalents declined by EUR 1,456.4 m to EUR 1,091.6 m. 
 
The cash outflow from operating activities totalled EUR 717.5 m (previous year EUR 443.5 m) in the period 
under review. 
 
The cash outflow from investing activities totals EUR 679.1 m (previous year EUR 261.2 m). It comprises a 
cash outflow for investments in property, plant and equipment and intangible assets of EUR 604.2 m. The 
Group also recorded an inflow of EUR 147.4 m from the sale of property, plant and equipment and intangible 
assets. The cash flow from investing activities also includes outflows of EUR 143.6 m in connection with 
the acquisition of consolidated companies and EUR 51.5 m in connection with the sale of shares in Corsair 
SA. An outflow of EUR 27.7 m was recorded for short-term interest-bearing investments. 
 
The cash outflow from financing activities totalled EUR 72.5 m (previous year EUR 470.6 m). TUI AG drew an 
amount of EUR 150.0 m from the external revolving credit facility to manage the seasonality of the Group's 
cash flows and liquidity as at the reporting date, and in addition took out further short-term loans worth 
EUR 395.5 m. Other TUI Group companies took out loans worth EUR 7.8 m. The cash outflow for the redemption 
of finance liabilities totalled EUR 148.1 m, including EUR 56.5 m for finance leases. An amount of EUR 
54.4 m was used for interest payments, while EUR 423.3 m was utilised for dividends to TUI AG 
shareholders. 
 
Cash and cash equivalents also increased by EUR 12.7 m due to changes in exchange rates (previous year 
decline of EUR 2.4 m). 
 
Cash and cash equivalents worth EUR 122.4 m were subject to restrictions on disposal as at 31 March 2019. 
The amount includes EUR 116.5 m (previous year EUR 116.5 m) for cash collateral received, deposited by 
Belgian tax authorities with a Belgian subsidiary in financial year 2013 against the backdrop of 
long-standing litigation concerning VAT refunds for the period from 2001 to 2011 without acknowledgement 
of debt in order to suspend the accrual of interest for the two parties. In order to collateralise a 
potential repayment, the Belgian government was granted a bank guarantee, which restricted TUI's ability 
to dispose of the cash and cash equivalents. The other restrictions relate to cash and cash equivalents to 
be deposited due to legal or regulatory requirements. 
 
(18) Segment indicators 
 
Since the first quarter of 2019, Italian tour operators previously included in the "All other segments" 
segment have been reported under the Central Region segment. Also, the Crystal Ski companies delivering 
services in the destinations were reclassified from Northern Region to Destination Experiences. The prior 
year's figures were restated accordingly to reflect the changes in segmentation.

The tables below present the performance indicator underlying EBITA. TUI Group defines underlying EBITA as 
EBITA adjusted for gains on disposal of financial investments, expenses in connection with restructuring 
measures according to IAS 37, all effects of purchase price allocations, ancillary acquisition costs and 
conditional purchase price payments as well as other expenses for and income from one-off items. One-off 
items carried as adjustments are income and expense items impacting or distorting the assessment of the 
operating profitability of the segments and the Group due to their amount and their frequency of 
occurrence. These items include in particular major reorganisation and integration expenses not meeting 
the requirements of IAS 37, key expenses in connection with litigation, gains and losses from the sale of 
aircraft and other major business transactions with a one-off character. 
 
EBITA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes and goodwill impairment. EBITA includes amortisation 
of other intangible assets. It does not include the result from the measurement of interest rate hedges. 
 
In H1 2019, underlying EBITA includes a result of EUR 107.3 m (previous year EUR 114.2 m) from joint 
ventures and associates, primarily generated within Holiday Experiences.

(19) Related parties 
 
Apart from the subsidiaries included in the consolidated financial statements, TUI AG, in carrying out its 
ordinary business activities, maintains direct and indirect relationships with related parties. All 
transactions with related parties were executed on an arm's length basis, based on international 
comparable price methods in accordance with IAS 24, as before. 
 
In H1 2019, Riu Hotels S.A. increased its equity stake in TUI AG to 3.6 %. More detailed information on 
related parties is provided under Other Notes in the Notes on the consolidated financial statements for 
2018. 
 
(20) International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) not yet applied 
 
For the effects of the new accounting rules for leases, we refer to our Annual Report for 2018. In 
relation to those comments, the following additional findings have emerged: 
 
IFRS 16 
 
TUI will apply IFRS 16 as at 1 October 2019 based on the modified retrospective approach. Under this 
method, the prior year's comparative period is not restated. The effect of the transition will be 
recognised in equity outside profit and loss as at 1 October 2019. For leases with a remaining term of 
less than one year as at the date of first-time application, TUI will not recognise any right-of-use 
assets nor any lease liabilities, in line with the exercise of the option relating to short-term leases of 
12 months or less. TUI intends to exercise the option not to measure the right-of-use assets at an amount 
equal to the lease liabilities as at the date of first-time application for most of its aircraft leases, 
but to recognise them at the carrying amounts as if the standard had applied at the inception of the 
lease, but discounted with the incremental borrowing rate of interest at the point of first-time 
application. 
 
TUI Group has launched a Group-wide project for the implementation of the rules and an IFRS 16 lease 
accounting software. The Group has not yet completed its assessment of the impact of the new rules on the 
accounting for provisions for aircraft maintenance costs in aircraft leases carried out within this 
project, its interaction with the feasibility of an initial retrospective measurement of the 
right-of-use-asset from long-term aircraft leases and the updating of the lease data captured for 
portfolio changes, modifications and remeasurements that have occurred in the meantime. A reliable 
estimate of the quantitative effects of the new rules on TUI Group's consolidated financial statements is 
therefore not currently possible. 
 
Responsibility 
statement 
 
To the best of our knowledge, and in accordance with the applicable reporting principles for Interim 
financial reporting and in the accordance with (German) principles of proper accounting, the interim 
consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position 
and profit or loss of the Group, and the interim Group management report includes a fair review of the 
development and performance of the business and the position of the Group, together with a description of 
the principal opportunities and risks associated with the expected development of the Group for the 
remaining months of the financial year.

Review Report 
 
To TUI AG, Berlin / Germany and Hanover / Germany 
 
We have reviewed the condensed interim consolidated financial statements - comprising the statement of 
financial position, the income statement, the condensed statement of comprehensive income, the condensed 
statement of cash flows, the condensed statement of changes in equity as well as selected explanatory 
notes to the financial statements - and the interim Group management report for the period from 1 October 
2018 until 31 March 2019 of TUI AG, which are components of the half-year financial report pursuant to § 
115 WpHG (Wertpapierhandelsgesetz: German Securities Trading Act).The preparation of the condensed interim 
consolidated financial statements in accordance with the IFRS applicable to interim financial reporting as 
adopted by the EU, and of the interim group management report which has been prepared in accordance with 
the requirements of the WpHG applicable to interim Group management reports is the responsibility of the 
entity's Management Board. Our responsibility is to express a 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 the interim Group 
management report in accordance with the German generally accepted standards for the review of financial 
statements promulgated by the Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer (IDW) as well as in supplementary compliance 
with the International Standard on Review Engagements "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed 
by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" (ISRE 2410). Those standards require that we plan and perform 
the review in compliance with professional standards such that we can preclude through critical 
evaluation, with limited assurance, that the condensed interim consolidated financial statements have not 
been prepared, in all 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 all 
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 analytical procedures 
and therefore does not provide the assurance attainable in a financial statement audit. Since, in 
accordance with our engagement, we have not performed a financial statement audit, we cannot issue an 
auditor's report. 
 
Based on our review, no matters have come to our attention that cause us to presume 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.
