Hamburger Hafen und Logistik Aktiengesellschaft 
Disclosure of an inside information in acc. to Article 17 of the Market Abuse Regulation 
HHLA achieves positive result in 2020 despite provision for efficiency programme 
According to preliminary unaudited figures, Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG (HHLA) achieved a positive Group operating 
result (EBIT) of approximately EUR 123 million in the 2020 financial year (previous year: EUR 221 million). First of all, 
the operating result was affected by restrictions on business due to the efforts to combat the coronavirus pandemic. 
Additionally, a provision of approximately EUR 43 million was set aside in the fourth quarter of 2020. The provision is 
associated with the implementation of restructuring as part of an efficiency programme in the Container segment. 
Without accounting for this provision, the Group EBIT would be approximately EUR 166 million. In the past financial year, 
Group revenue amounted to approximately EUR 1.30 billion (previous year: EUR 1.38 billion). 
In the listed Port Logistics subgroup, revenue in the past financial year amounted to EUR 1.27 billion (previous year: EUR 
1.35 billion). Taking into account the aforementioned provision, the subgroup generated an operating result (EBIT) of 
approximately EUR 110 million (previous year: EUR 204 million). Adjusted for the provision, the EBIT amounts to 
approximately EUR 153 million. The marked decrease in EBIT by 46.1 percent, or 24.9 percent prior to the provision, is 
largely due to decreases in volume as a result of the pandemic and changes in the market share. Thus, throughput volume 
in the Container segment decreased by 10.6 percent to 6,776 thousand standard containers (TEU) (previous year: 7,577 
thousand TEU). Container transport in the Intermodal segment was slightly down on the previous year at 1,536 thousand 
TEU (previous year: 1,565 thousand TEU). 
The Executive Board intends to propose a dividend to the Supervisory Board and Annual General Meeting of 50 to 70 
percent of the result for the Port Logistics subgroup based on the previously communicated payout ratio. 
HHLA will publish complete figures for the 2020 financial year and a business forecast for the current financial year 
at 7.30 a.m. on Thursday, 25 March 2021. 
EBIT is defined as earnings before interest and taxes. For more detailed information, please click here.
