4 Interim management report 03 INTERIM MANAGEMENT REPORT FOR THE PERIOD 1 JANUARY TO 30 JUNE 2014 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF THE GROUP Consolidated revenues down year-on-year in nominal terms The maxingvest Group generated revenues of 4,693 million in the first half of 2014, recording year-on-year organic revenue growth of 1.9%. In nominal terms, revenues decreased by 1.6% compared with the prior-year figure of 4,770 million. Beiersdorf accounted for 68% of revenues and Tchibo for 32%. Revenues at Beiersdorf were up year-onyear, while those at Tchibo were lower. Organic revenues at Tchibo declined by 4.1% year-on-year. In nominal terms, revenues decreased by 5.3% to 1,522 million (previous year: 1,607 million). As expected, the announced structural adjustments and the retail price cuts for roasted coffee depressed revenues. Revenue growth was also impacted by the ongoing business challenges in Eastern Europe, particularly in Russia, and by increasing competition in the non-food business. The espresso/caffè crema business performed well, and Tchibo again increased its market share. Organic revenue growth at Beiersdorf amounted to 5.0% in the first half of In nominal terms, revenues increased by 0.2%, from 3,163 million to 3,171 million. The Consumer business segment lifted organic revenues by 5.0% and the tesa business segment by 5.4%. The encouraging revenue growth in the Consumer business segment was due to the positive trend in most emerging markets, although growth has eased over the past few months in some markets. Stable growth rates were achieved and market share was increased around the world in many saturated markets. The tesa business segment continued the positive revenue trend observed in the previous year. Both the industrial business and the consumer business expanded their revenue.

5 Interim management report 04 Consolidated EBIT and net profit for the first six months down year-on-year The maxingvest Group s EBIT amounted to 527 million in the first half of 2014, a year-on-year decrease of 38 million. EBIT at Tchibo amounted to 88 million, compared with the prior-year figure of 93 million. The EBIT margin for the first half of 2014 remained level year-on-year at 5.8%. Beiersdorf generated EBIT of 452 million, up 18 million on the prior-year figure ( 434 million). The EBIT margin for the first half of 2014 amounted to 14.3% (previous year: 13.7%). Earnings in the Consumer business segment rose from 351 million to 367 million. At 85 million, EBIT in the tesa business segment was also up on the prior-year figure of 83 million. EBIT for the Holding division amounted to 13 million in the period under review (previous year: 38 million). In the prior-year period, EBIT was boosted in particular by the effect of the reversal of provisions in connection with former equity investments. Net financial income amounted to 4 million in the first half of 2014 (prior-year period: 6 million). Net profit for the first six months stood at 364 million, down on the previous year s figure of 391 million. The change in net profit for the first six months was mainly due to the decrease in EBIT. Earnings per share in accordance with IFRSs after non-controlling interests amounted to (previous year: 64.70). NET ASSETS AND FINANCIAL POSITION OF THE GROUP Sound balance sheet with a stable, high equity ratio The maxingvest Group s total assets amounted to 13,990 million as at 30 June 2014 ( 13,668 million as at the year-end reporting date). Non-current assets rose slightly from 7,533 million to 7,645 million. This was primarily due to an increase in property, plant and equipment at Beiersdorf, where investments were made in the Consumer business segment s new factory in Mexico and tesa s new headquarters. Current assets rose by 3% as against the year-end figure, to 6,345 million. This was mainly attributable to an increase in trade receivables, which was due to a seasonal rise at Beiersdorf.

6 Interim management report 05 Equity rose by 2% compared with the year-end figure of 8,233 million to 8,412 million, while the equity ratio remained unchanged as against 31 December 2013, at 60%. Non-current liabilities rose by 3%, from 2,488 million to 2,572 million. This rise was mainly attributable to the lower discount rate for pension provisions. Current liabilities increased by 2%, from 2,947 million to 3,006 million. This was mainly attributable to an increase in trade payables at Beiersdorf due to operational factors. As at 30 June 2014, the fair value of the bond issued by maxingvest ag, which is measured on the basis of its quoted price, was 616 million after adjustment for repurchased bonds (year-end figure: 630 million). Additional bonds in the amount of 3 million have been repurchased on the capital market since the year-end. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents amounted to 1,046 million as at the end of the first half of 2014, a decrease of 183 million compared with the year-end. Cash flow from operating activities amounted to 178 million. Outflows of funds from changes in working capital totalled 169 million and were due to changes in inventories, receivables and other assets as well as changes in liabilities and current provisions. Net cash used in investing activities amounted to 198 million. This figure primarily comprises the balance of securities purchases and sales, which led to a net cash outflow of 79 million, and investments in non-current assets of 174 million. Net cash used in financing activities amounted to 165 million. This consists of dividends paid to maxingvest ag shareholders amounting to 48 million and dividends paid to non-controlling interests (primarily dividend payments to non-controlling shareholders of Beiersdorf AG) of 86 million. OTHER DISCLOSURES Changes to the Executive Board of Beiersdorf and the management of Tchibo Three new members were appointed to the Executive Board of Beiersdorf as at 1 July This means that the Executive Board now has six members again. Thomas Ingelfinger is responsible for Europe (excluding Germany and Switzerland), Stefan De Loecker for the Near East (including Russia, Turkey, the Middle East, Africa and India) and Zhengrong Liu for Human Resources, Corporate Communications and Sustainability, including the position of Labour Relations Director. Dirk Engehausen was appointed as a member of Tchibo GmbH s management effective 1 January He is responsible for the branch and outlet business in Germany, and for the Austrian and Swiss country organisations. Peter Rikowski has moved to a new corporate role within the maxingvest Group.

7 Interim management report 06 OPPORTUNITIES AND RISKS For an assessment of the opportunities and risks to which the maxingvest Group is exposed, please refer to the Risk Report on pages 36 to 41 of the 2013 Annual Report of maxingvest ag. There were no significant changes to the opportunities and risks as at 30 June OUTLOOK Macroeconomic parameters The statements made in the Report on Expected Developments in the 2013 Annual Report differ only marginally from current developments. The Institut für Weltwirtschaft (IfW Institute for the World Economy) expects the global economy to pick up in the second half of Despite this, elements of uncertainty remain with respect to developments in individual European countries, the financial markets and a potential increase in commodity prices. The industrialised nations continue to drive economic development and expansion, while growth in the emerging markets will be somewhat lower than in previous years. Eurozone GDP is expected to increase slowly as the year progresses. The IfW expects German GDP growth to outpace that of the eurozone as a whole. The European Central Bank s low benchmark interest rate is expected to lead to a rise in capital expenditure, while the fall in the unemployment rate is expected to boost consumer spending in Germany. The consumer confidence index also points towards positive growth. Despite the uncertain political situation and the possibility of additional sanctions being imposed by or against Russia, the country s growth rate is likely to show a slight improvement on the 2013 figure. After a weak first quarter due to the particularly cold winter, there is an upward trend in the United States. The recovery in the labour market is progressing and slight growth is expected for Growth is likely to ease off in China, where there are uncertainties relating to fiscal policy and the reforms that have been announced. Beiersdorf s Research and Development and Quality Management functions will work together to identify alternative sources of supplies and to define more open specifications, further securing supplies of raw materials for the company s production facilities. This will also continue to reduce dependence on individual suppliers and specific raw materials. As in the past, strategic partnerships with suppliers will secure the availability of raw materials in 2014, ensuring supplies for production facilities. In 2014, the price of oil will probably remain at a high but stable level of just over USD 100 per barrel. Overall, Beiersdorf expects moderate increases in the commodities markets, which can be further minimised by targeted measures in the area of procurement. Raw coffee prices surged at the beginning of the year due to a weaker harvest in Brazil following a severe drought. Purchasing prices are currently at a stable but high level. There is considerable uncertainty about how raw coffee prices will develop, with weather conditions in Brazil in the coming months set to play a substantial role.

8 Interim management report 07 Business development Our forecasts for the Group s expected development have changed with regard to revenue expectations for Tchibo since the publication of the Group management report in the 2013 Annual Report. The forecast for Beiersdorf is still applicable. Tchibo is anticipating that its 2014 revenues will be slightly below those of 2013 and that its earnings will remain at the prior-year level. Beiersdorf is aiming for its revenue growth to outperform the market in 2014 and is maintaining its existing revenue growth forecast of between 4% and 6%. The company s EBIT margin from operations is expected to exceed 13%.
