Consolidation continues to accelerate, particularly in Europe Different forms of consolidation

European consolidation International consolidation Global consolidation through Joint Ventures:

  • Commercial agreements with anti-trust approval
  • Joint steering of prices, capacities and frequencies
  • Revenue share agreements
  • Proven alternative to equity partnerships

Current development in Europe:

  • LH Group, easyJet and IAG acquire parts of Air Berlin,

insolvency of remainder of Air Berlin; More than 25 aircraft disappear from German market

  • Monarch insolvency, Alitalia in administration

1st consolidation wave 2nd consolidation wave Insolvency

LH Group best positioned to benefit from European market specifics Superior home markets define premium positioning

Highly attractive home markets… GER AT CH BE

  • Strong premium corporate and leisure demand:
  • Highly stable and export oriented economies
  • Low unemployment
  • Highly diversified industries
  • Low cyclicality
  • Decentral structure
  • At the same time these markets do not support

cost leadership:

  • E.g., labor and infrastructure cost
  • Relatively high share of transfer passengers
  • Limited possibility to outsource production to lower

Distributive freedom to optimize and increase revenues Rationale for the new distribution strategy

Price curve (illustrative)

Background

  • Full content agreement expired in April 2015
  • Loss of discount related to global distribution system
  • 16 EUR distribution cost charge for bookings via GDS
  • Neutral effect on bottom line

Benefits

  • No limitation to 26 pricing points anymore (GDS Technology)
  • Unlimited price points = optimized revenue ( )
  • More direct distribution = stimulated demand ( )

(ancillaries and personalized offers)

Development so far

  • Direct distribution: from 30% to 40% (2015 vs. H1 2017)
  • Positive results of dynamic revenue mgmt. on test routes
  • Neutral bottom line effect from introduction of DCC
  • SWISS with new website in 2018;

Lufthansa and Austrian Airlines to follow later

Currently untapped revenue potential

(Dynamic revenue management with unlimited pricing points)

Distributive freedom

Price point

(26 letters of the alphabet)

# months before actual date of consumption

Aim of hedging strategy

  • Lufthansa's hedging strategy is designed to

reduce volatility

  • No intention to outperform the market
  • Rolling approach up to 24 months going forward

Fuel Hedging

  • Hedging level is increased month-by-month

until up to 85% is hedged

  • Mostly options, not fixed contracts, to still benefit

from falling oil prices FX Hedging

  • Hedging of net FX exposure per currency up to

24 months, level is increased every two or six months until 80% of exposure is hedged

  • Use of forward contracts
