METRO QUARTERLY STATEMENT Q1 2019/20
Overview
SALES, EARNINGS AND FINANCIAL POSITION
Unless expressly stated otherwise, all subsequent presentations refer to continuing operations. Furthermore, the quarterly results are reported based on the retrospective adjustments due to IFRS 16.
Sales
In Q1 2019/20, METRO's like-for-like sales rose by 1.0%. This growth is mainly attributable to the continuing strong business development in Eastern Europe and Asia. In local currency sales increased by 1.0%. In part supported by positive currency effect developments, total sales at METRO increased by 2.2% to €7.5 billion.
Earnings
Theearnings before depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) excluding earnings contributions from real
estate transactionsreached a total of €526 million in Q1 2019/20 (Q1 2018/19: €530 million), also supported by positive currency effects in Russia and Eastern Europe. In Q1 2019/20 no transformation costs incurred. Adjusted for currency effects, EBITDA decreased by €12 million (-2.2%) compared to the same period last year. The segments mainly developed at previous year's level, while a cost increase in Eastern Europe made an impact.
Earnings contributions from real estate
transactionstotalled €1 million (Q1 2018/19: €2 million).
EBITDAin Q1 2019/20 amounted to €527 million
(Q1 2018/19: €532 million).
The total financial resultamounted to €-51 million in Q1 2019/20 (Q1 2018/19: €-62 million). Among others, due to a more favourable refinancing rate, the interest result improved by €5 million.
Earnings before taxesamounted to €276 million in Q1 2019/20 (Q1 2018/19: €285 million).
In accordance with international accounting standards on interim financial reporting, taxes are reported throughout the year using the so-called integral approach. According to this standard, the reported tax expense or tax income corresponds to the expected group tax rate at the end of the financial year.
For the continuing operations a tax rate before transformation costs of approximately 55% is expected for the financial year 2019/20 (Q1 2018/19: 39%). This results in income tax expensesof €152 million in the reporting period (Q1 2018/19: €110 million). The expected tax rate for continuing operations is significantly higher than the tax rate for the previous
5
year, mainly due to temporarily lower expected income from real estate transactions.
Theprofit or loss for the period from continuing operations attributable to METROshareholders amounted to €121 million in Q1 2019/20 (Q1 2018/19: €172 million).
The profit or loss for the period from continuing and discontinued operations attributable to METRO shareholders amounted to €-34 million in Q1 2019/20 (Q1 2018/19: €224 million). In Q1 2019/20 an impairment of €237 million for the hypermarket business was booked, based on the current status of negotiation as well as the suspended depreciation.
Earnings per share from continuing operations
dropped to €0.33 in Q1 2019/20 (Q1 2018/19: €0.47).
Earnings per share from continuing and
discontinued operationsreached €-0.09 in Q1 2019/20 (Q1 2018/19: €0.62).
Investments
METRO invested€132 million in Q1 2019/20 (Q1 2018/19: €107 million).
Financial position

€5.2 billion).

In Q1 2019/20, total cash inflow from operating activities amounted to €0.5 billion (Q1 2018/19: €0.5 billion cash inflow).
The cash flow from investing activities amounted to €-0.1 billion (Q1 2018/19: €-0.1 billion cash outflow) and is mainly attributable to investments in property, plant and equipment and investment properties. The other investments include payouts for intangible assets and financial assets.

In the Otherssegment, EBITDA excluding earnings contributions from real estate transactions remained at previous year's level of €27 million (Q1 2018/19: €24 million).

OUTLOOK
Outlook for METRO | Earnings |
The outlook is based on the assumption of stable exchange rates and no further adjustments to the portfolio and only covers METRO's continuing operations. The main opportunities and risks that could influence our outlook are explained in the opportunity and risk report. The achievement of our sales and earnings outlook is further based on our assumptions for 2019/20 regarding macroeconomic developments.
Sales
Due to the advancing and successful focus on the HoReCa and Traders customer groups, the Management Board expects total sales and like-for-like sales to grow by 1.5% to 3% in financial year 2019/20 (2018/19: 2.2% growth to total sales and 2.1% growth of like-for-like sales). As a consequence of this focus, a further trend improvement is expected in Russia. Germany is expected to show a flat sales development, while the Western Europe (excluding Germany), Eastern Europe (excluding Russia) and Asia segments are expected to grow at the previous year's level. Across all segments, the Management Board sees the delivery business in particular and the synergetic interaction of the various channels as well as the focus on HoReCa and Traders customers as growth drivers.
An important focus of METRO is on increasing operating performance and portfolio simplification. Against this background, the Management Board announced to adopt efficiency measures on 19 November 2019. In financial year 2019/20, the Management Board expects this to result in one-time transformation costs of €60 million to €80 million. Before transformation costs for these efficiency measures, the Management Board expects EBITDA excluding earnings contributions from real estate transactions to be roughly at the level of the past financial year (2018/19: € 1,392 million). Earnings in Russia are expected to decline by between €20 million and €30 million as a result of the ongoing repositioning.
Earnings growth in Germany and Western Europe (excluding Germany) is expected to compensate for this. For the remaining segments, EBITDA is expected to remain roughly at the previous years level.

METRO QUARTERLY STATEMENT Q1 2019/20
Notes
NOTES
Accounting principles
The income statement, balance sheet as of
30 September and 31 December 2019 and cash flow statement have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted for the EU. The income statement, balance sheet and cash flow statement were prepared in accordance with IAS 34 (interim financial reporting). With an exception of IFRS 16 which was applied for the first time and described below, the same accounting view as in consolidated financial statement from
30 September 2019 has been applied.
Since 1 October 2019, METRO has been applying IFRS 16, whereby it made use of the option to apply the fully retrospecitve method. METRO's continuing operations (without the hypermarket business and METRO China) resulted in an increase in non-current assets of approximately €2.0 billion and total liabilities of approximately €2.4 billion as of 1 October 2018.
As of 30. September 2019, the increase of non- current liabilities amount to €2.1 billion and the total liabilities amount to €2.5 billion due to offsetting effects resulting from additions of right of use, depreciation and repayments. Previous year's figures were adjusted accordingly.
In February 2020, METRO published a transition booklet on the effects of IFRS 16, which shows the effects of the transition per quarter and segment for the financial year 2018/19.
14
METRO China has been reported as a discontinued operation respectively disposal group since
30 September 2019. In this quarterly statement, in addition to the balance sheet as at 30 September 2019, a balance sheet as at 31 December 2018 is also provided as a voluntary additional disclosure in order to enable a year-on-year comparison of the current book values taking into account seasonal fluctuations. In contrast to the quarterly statement of the previous year, the assets (€1.7 billion) and liabilities (€1.0 billion) of METRO China are also classified as "held for sale" in the comparable balance sheet as of 31 December 2018 in order to enhance the informative value of these figures.
