In 2012, we continued our strategy to grow and consolidate  the travel retail industry. In January,  Dufry expanded its  presence in Russia by acquiring a 51% interest in a local  travel retail operator at Sheremetyevo Airport in Moscow.  In  October,   Dufry  signed  an  agreement  to  acquire  the  travel retail operations of Folli Follie Group, the leading  travel retailer in Greece. With this acquisition,  Dufry fur- ther  increases  its  presence  in  a  strategic  region,  the  Mediterranean area. The transaction will also reinforce  our leading position in the travel retail industry.  Throughout 2012,  Dufry strengthened its financial structure.  On the debt side, we successfully refinanced our debt ma- turities that were going to expire in 2013 through a renewal  of a committed revolving credit facility of CHF 650 million  with a syndicate of banks. In addition to that,  Dufry made its  debut on the debt capital market by issuing USD 500 million  senior notes maturing in 2020. These transactions have  strengthened our financing structure and diversified our  debt funding. On the equity side,  Dufry increased its share  capital by issuing 2.7 million new shares, a capital increase  of 10%. The transaction, one of the financing elements to  fund the acquisition of Folli Follie Travel Retail, was done on  October 11, 2012, through an accelerated bookbuilding offer  and was placed with a large number of existing and new  investors. The books were closed in less than three hours  and the transaction was very well received by investors. The year was also remarkable in relation to  Dufry’s share  price performance. Our share price increased by 38% and  1  Including the pending acquisition of the travel retail division of Folli Follie outperformed the respective index in Switzerland by 22  percentage points, a factor of more than two times. Trading  volumes of  Dufry shares also increased by more than a  third and reached an average of CHF 15.6 million per day,  a  result  of  the  consistent  delivery  and  execution  of  our  strategy. With a market capitalization of CHF 3.5 billion at  the end of 2012,  Dufry has established itself as a strong  mid-cap name and has a broad shareholder base in North  and South America as well as in Europe. We continue our strategy to grow and consolidate the travel retail industry.  Dufry’s shareholder structure changed  in January 2013  through two transactions that have led to a further in- crease in free float to 82.5%. On January 16, 2013, Advent  International  Corp.,  one  of  our  larger  shareholders,  di- vested its interest in  Dufry and placed all the shares with a  large number of existing and new institutional sharehold- ers. On January 24, 2013, the long-standing shareholder  Travel Retail Investment SCA informed the company that  they  increased  their  stake  in   Dufry  to  13.18%  through  purchases  in  the  market.  These  changes  in  the  share- holder structure will not impact  Dufry and the strategy will  remain unchanged.  The results achieved in 2012 demonstrate once more the  effectiveness of our strategy. We will continue to develop  our  business  targeting  profitable  growth  with  focus  on  emerging markets and tourist destinations. There are still  Page 5 Dufry aNNual rePort 2012 CoMPaNy rePort JuAn CArlos torres CArretero many opportunities in this fragmented market and we will  work hard to capitalize on them. Diversification continues  to  play  an  important  role  in  our  strategy,  as  it  is  a  key  element of risk management and ensures that we capture  a broad range of growth opportunities. We believe the outlook for the travel retail industry in 2013  remains  positive.  While  the  economic  development  in  Europe  and  the  USA  may  be  impacted  by  the  political  discussion on sovereign debt, bringing some uncertainty  and volatility, recent indicators already show an economic  recovery in certain regions, especially in Emerging Mar- kets.  We  will  continue  to  look  for  organic  and  external  growth opportunities, while continuing to monitor regional  developments.  As in the past,  Dufry continues to engage in social projects  that improve lives of disadvantaged people, with a special  focus on children, the weakest group of society. After the  successful  partnership  with  SOS  Children’s  Villages  in  Igarassu, Brazil over the last years,  Dufry will sponsor  two more initiatives in Agadir, Morocco and Battambang,  Cambodia. The two projects together will give education,  medical support and other services to children and their  families.  Furthermore,   Dufry  is  sponsoring  the  Street  Child World Cup to be held in Brazil in 2014. This event acts  as a catalyst around the world to safeguard the rights of  millions of children who live and work on the streets. Last  but not least, we have continued a very important social  project in Rio de Janeiro which was launched 17 years ago.  It offers free professional education to thirty young people  every year. The program is for 16 to 18 year-old girls or  boys.   Dufry’s  employees  participate  in  the  program  as  volunteers, serving as mentors to these teenagers. On behalf of the Board of Directors I thank our senior man- agement for their contribution and their commitment. We  also thank our employees for their work and dedication,  without whom nothing would be possible. Finally, we thank  the shareholders and bondholders for the trust given to us. Sincerely, Juan Carlos Torres Carretero pAge 6 Dufry AnnuAl report 2012 CompAny report StAteMeNt oF tHe CHIeF exeCUtIve oFFICer Dear all In 2012,  Dufry delivered once more outstanding results.  In a year marked by regional differences, turnover grew  strongly by 19.6% and reached CHF 3.2 billion and EBITDA  surged by 27.8% to CHF 474.0 million. Our gross margin  improved  from  58.2%  to  58.9%  and  furthermore,  our  EBITDA margin showed a strong expansion of 90 basis  points to 15.0% in 2012 from 14.1% one year before. Both,  the level of gross margin and the EBITDA margin are the  best in the history of the Company.  2012 was another year of strong growth in turnover and profitability. We had significant sales performance in all our regions.  In Region EMEA & Asia, we grew 20.2%, backed by strong  increase in most markets in Asia and Africa and also se- lected markets in Europe. Region America I grew by 48.3%  in nominal terms, mainly driven through a combination of  strong organic growth, especially in Mexico and selected  markets  in  the  Caribbean,  and  the  consolidation  of  the  businesses acquired in August 2011. Region America II had  a flat turnover evolution when measured in Swiss Francs.  The lower performance compared to previous years was  mainly  due  to  the  economic  slowdown  and  substantial  weakening of the local currency in Brazil. Region United  States & Canada grew organically by 8.7% through a com- bination of like-for-like growth and space expansion.   Dufry also successfully refinanced its existing credit line  and for the first time in its history  Dufry entered the debt  capital market by issuing USD 500 million senior notes.  Such achievements represent the start of a new phase  for the Company. Besides that, we also placed 2.7 million  new shares in the market. The new financial structure  will  allow  us  to  continue  pursuing  opportunities  in  the  still fragmented travel retail industry. Continuous expansion through new concessions Overall, we opened 178 new shops in 2012, representing  around 15,000 m² of additional gross retail space. For 2013,  we expect further expansion through new square meters  and new concessions.  Our pipeline of potential projects continues healthy at ap- proximately 40,000 m² and to date we have already signed  contracts to open 10,000 m² in the year. In 2012, we were also successful in consolidating our pres- ence in Emerging Markets. We are very pleased to have  renewed in November our agreement for the duty free retail  space  at  Guarulhos  International  Airport  in  São  Paulo,  Brazil, which is one of the most important operations in this  region. Based on the new agreement,  Dufry has renewed  its contracts for operating duty free stores at the airport  until 2016. Additionally, we have been awarded additional  retail space of 2,100 m², increasing overall retail space at  the airport by 50%. More than the new space, we believe  that it will further enhance and reinforce our position in  Brazil and illustrates the quality of our operations, where  we have developed a strong organization with deep knowl- edge of the Brazilian consumer. The new space is expected  to be operational in the second semester of 2013 and is  forecasted to generate a substantial sales increase. Since the acquisition of Hudson News in 2008, our busi- ness in US and Canada has been performing strongly and  we have been able to expand our footprint and increase  our market share. In 2012, we have opened 63 new shops,  pAge 7 Dufry AnnuAl report 2012 CompAny report with a total of 6,240 m² of new retail space. Of these, 25  shops are branded or specialized shops, an example of  our  ability  to  develop  additional  retail  formats  also  in  North America.  Furthermore, in January 2012, we acquired 51% of a local  travel retailer operator at Sheremetyevo Airport in Moscow.  The acquired businesses are in the final phase of integra- tion and expected synergies are on track.  We continue to actively develop the Hudson News con- cept also outside North America. In 2012, we opened 45  new Hudson News shops in several locations.   Dufry continues to consolidate the fragmented  travel retail market   Dufry continues to expand its presence through acquisi- tions in strategic areas. To start with, we are very pleased  with the signing of an agreement to acquire 51% of the  travel retail business of Folli Follie Group. The business  is the leading travel retailer in Greece with 111 shops and  more than 18,000 m² of retail space. The business, which  in 2011 generated a turnover of EUR 291 million and an  EBITDA  of  EUR  84  million,  is  a  highly  attractive  asset.  The company operates long-term concession contracts  with attractive terms, and has a high quality customer  base with more than 80% being international travelers.  With this acquisition, we further strengthen and diversify  our concession portfolio and we increase our presence  in the strategically attractive Mediterranean area.  As to the acquisitions made in August 2011, when  Dufry  acquired operations in several emerging markets loca- tions named Argentina, Uruguay, Ecuador, Armenia and  Martinique,  the  consolidation  of  these  businesses  also  contributed to the good performance in 2012. We com- pleted the integration of the business in the fourth quarter,  ahead of our initial schedule. Internal reorganization creating a basis   for further growth In 2012, we performed an internal reorganization in our  Group.  Dufry has grown strongly over the years and we  found  the  need  to  adapt  and  prepare  the  Group  to  this  new era. We have reduced the number of regions from  six to four, in order to create a critical mass in the regions  and allow synergies to be generated. At the same time,  we redefined the role of the headquarters: responsibili- ties  were  pushed  to  the  regional  level  and  company’s  headquarters’  focus  is  on  activities  that  will  generate  synergies for the group on a global basis.

in the travel retail sector, including the most prestigious  brands. Whether in a duty paid or duty free shop, Dufry  will  position  the  brands  and  develop  a  specific  mix  of  brands and products that meets the profile of its clients  as  well  as  the  positioning  of  the  supplier.  We  therefore  follow a “best brand policy” and have developed the stron- gest portfolio of brands per product category and customer  segmentation in our industry over the past years. Window display Two million passengers pass in front of our shops every  day. This volume together with their purchasing power  creates a perfect environment for the advertisement focus  of international brands. Dufry works with more than 1,000 well- known suppliers in the travel retail sector, including the most prestigious brands. We work closely together with suppliers to continuously  strengthen  our  partnerships.  Together  with  them,  we  analyze  and  combine  research  information  and  best  practices, using Dufry’s and the suppliers’ capabilities,  know-how and expertise.  Working together for a win-win situation Our suppliers and Dufry share the same goals: Together,  we want to enhance the shopping experience, attract a  maximum  of  customers,  strengthen  the  brand  aware- ness, convert non-shoppers to shoppers and last but not  least increase sales and spend per passenger.  We enhance our collaboration with the suppliers in mul- tiple  ways,  for  example  through  our  own  Suppliers’  Extranet. It allows our partners to directly access specific  sales data of their brands and products on a location- by-location  basis  (e.g.  market  share,  ranking  of  their  products).  We  also  share  sales  forecasting  and  inventory  projec- tions with our major suppliers. This allows them to plan  our replenishment orders in advance, which in turn helps  improving  their  production  and  manufacturing  cycles,  reduces  lead  times  and  gives  both  business  partners  higher productivity at shorter notice.  A new logistics plan Dufry changed the dynamics in the travel retail industry  years ago when it implemented its centralized negotia- tions with suppliers. By being a global organization with  full control and synchronization with its local operations,  we  were  able  to  negotiate  terms  with  global  suppliers  centrally, benefiting from our global scale, a novel ap- proach in our industry. In a new logistic plan expected to be implemented in the  coming years, Dufry plans to move one step forward and  not only negotiate, but also order and manage inventory  centrally. The plan is expected to bring further benefits  for Dufry in terms of gross margin and working capital  management. Suppliers will benefit from reduced com- plexity,  much  simpler  purchasing  processes,  and  the  flow of goods will also be simplified.  pAge 39 Dufry AnnuAl report 2012 CompAny report AIrport AUtHorItIeS & LANDLorDS Operating commercial space at any major travel location  means  to  share  the  infrastructure  with  other  service  providers.  Hence  strong  relationships  with  airport  au- thorities and other landlords is a further key factor to the  success of  Dufry.  Dufry wants to be the operator of choice for airport op- erators  and  other  landlords.  We  can  provide  the  full  range of retail formats depending on the characteristics  of the retail space.  Dufry has a full team on the ground  in four different regions, facilitating us to add a business  to our portfolio wherever it is. strong and broadly diversified concession portfolio Over the years,  Dufry has successfully built a portfolio  of concession contracts that is highly diversified and of  premium  quality.  In  2012,  we  added  nearly  4,000 m²  of  net  retail  space  to  our  existing  portfolio  through  new  concessions, the opening of new shops, and an acquisition  in  Russia.  At  year-end  2012,  our  concession  portfolio  spread  across  43  countries  and  included  total  retail  space of over 180,000 m² in airports, seaports, train sta- tions and other locations. The announced acquisition of  Folli  Follie  Travel  Retail  business  will  add  another  18,000 m² of retail space during 2013, once the transac- tion is closed.  There are different ways to get concessions: They can be  won through tenders or negotiated directly with airport  authorities, be structured as joint ventures with the airport  operator or be bought through acquisitions.  Dufry has a  clear policy whenever looking at expanding the concession  portfolio: We will analyze the concession fee levels and the  duration  of  the  contract,  and  assess  the  development  potential of the location from retail as well as travel per- spectives. We also take into consideration any execution  or operational complexities. Through a strict evaluation  of these criteria, we ensure that our concession portfolio  remains of the highest quality and that each concession  offers attractive returns for our group.  Dufry has been adding net new concessions of around 4% of sales per year since 2003. strong concession portfolio Dufry established strong relationships over the years with  landlords and business partners, always aiming to create  a win-win situation. We have structured a solid conces- sion portfolio with long duration and attractive terms. Managing concession contracts is an important part of  our daily work and we actively manage our concession  portfolio  to  renew  and  extend  existing  contracts  and  also to win new contracts. On average, we renew every  year contracts which generate 5%–10% of our sales. In  addition,  we  add  new  contracts  every  year  and  over  time, we have expanded our concession portfolio sig- nificantly. Since 2003,  Dufry has added in average a net  4%  of  sales  per  year  in  new  contracts  through  new  concessions.   Dufry’s  concession  portfolio  includes  also a number of long-term contracts with durations  well above 10 years. For example, in our operations in  Italy  at  Milan  Linate  and  Milan  Malpensa,  where  we  have  partnership  with  the  local  airport  operator,  we  have secured concession contracts until 2041. Sharjah  (United Arab Emirates), Puerto Rico, Dominican Repub- lic  and  Argentina  are  other  locations  with  long-term  contract durations.   pAge 40 Dufry AnnuAl report 2012 CompAny report INveStorS Dufry’s strategy of profitable growth is designed to create  sustainable value for its shareholders.  In 2012, Dufry’s share price showed a strong performance  of 38% and closed at CHF 119.60 by the end of the year.  The daily average volume of our shares (including trading  volumes of the separately listed Brazilian Depository Re- ceipts at BM&FBOVESPA in São Paulo, Brazil) climbed  further by 38% to approximately CHF 15.6 million per day.  Our market capitalization at December 31, 2012 reached  CHF 3.55 billion.  free float increases to 82.5% Since the beginning of 2012, two events have resulted in  an  increase  of  our  free  float  to  82.5%.  On  October  10,  2012, Dufry successfully executed a capital increase of  CHF 286.0 million to finance the acquisition of a 51% par- ticipation in the travel retail division of Folli Follie Group.  Furthermore, in January 2013 funds controlled by Advent  International announced that they sold all their remaining  shares held in Dufry. Both transactions were structured  as accelerated book buildings and the shares were placed  with a large number of institutional shareholders. successful placement of usD 500 million senior notes Dufry entered the bond market for the first time in 2012 and  issued US Dollar denominated senior notes in an aggregate  principal  amount  of  USD  500  million  to  refinance  term  loans of approximately CHF 502 million that expire in 2013.  The notes have an annual coupon of 5.5% and mature on  October  15,  2020.  The  bonds  were  successfully  placed  with a broad range of international investors in the Euro- bond  market  and  with  qualified  US  investors  (under  Regulation S and 144A rules).

cash than ever before: cash flow from operations stood at  CHF 452.1 million, 20.0% higher than in 2011.  Dufry continued to play a major role in the consolidation  of the travel retail industry. After the acquisition of several  travel retail operations in South America, as well as Mar- tinique and Armenia in August 2011, we started 2012 by  acquiring a 51% stake of a Russian travel retailer in Janu- ary, expanding our presence at Sheremetyevo Airport in  Moscow. In October, Dufry signed an agreement to acquire  51% of the travel retail operations of Folli Follie Group, the  leading  travel  retailer  in  Greece.  Last  but  not  least,  we  were able to sign in November 2012 an agreement with  Guarulhos International Airport in São Paulo, Brazil, for  the extension of our concession until 2016 and the expan- sion of our retail space in the airport of almost 50%.  In 2012, Dufry also further strengthened its debt profile.  We  successfully  refinanced  our  debt  maturing  in  2013  through a renewal of a committed CHF 650 million bank

The compensation paid to the members of the Board of  Directors in 2012 remained unchanged in comparison to  the previous reporting year 2011. The differences in the amount of compensation paid to  the members of the Group Executive Committee in 2012  in comparison to 2011 are mainly due to regular salary  increases between 5% and 20% based on annual perfor- mance review, bonus payments based on achievement  of yearly objectives set in advance, and one case of an  extraordinary bonus granted based on significantly ex- ceeding performance objectives. On the other hand, the  lower total amount can be explained by the fact that the  Group  Executive  Committee  consists  of  8  members  since July 1, 2012, compared to 10 members during the  entire year 2011. In addition, there was a vesting of Re- stricted  Stock  Units  in  2011  which  resulted  in  higher  social  costs  compared  with  2012  when  there  was  no  such vesting.

From an economic point of view, the RSUs are stock op- tions with an exercise price of nil. The vesting of the RSU  awards is conditioned upon the price of the Dufry share  at the vesting date being superior to the price of the Dufry  share at the grant date. The total number of RSUs to be  granted yearly is set forth in the RSU plans and related  documents. The RSU plans have been approved by the  Nomination and Remuneration Committee and the Board  of Directors. Pursuant to the RSU plans, the Chief Ex- ecutive Officer, in its own and sole discretion, decides the  amount of each specific grant to each individual plan par- ticipant. The grants made to the Chief Executive Officer  are decided by the Chairman.

subsidiaries) as at December 31, 2012 and the respective comparative information. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date of acqui- sition, being the date on which the Group obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date when such control is lost. the financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using uniform accounting policies. All intra- group balances, transactions, unrealized gains and losses resulting from intra-group transactions and dividends are eliminated in full. A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction. If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it (i) derecognizes the assets (including goodwill) and liabil- ities of the subsidiary, derecognizes the carrying amount of any non-controlling interest as well as derecognizes the cumulative translation differences recorded in equity (ii) recognizes the fair value of the consideration received, recognizes the fair value of any investment retained as well as recognizes any surplus or deficit in the con- solidated income statement and (iii) reclassifies the parent’s share of components previ- ously recognized in other comprehensive income to the consolidated income statement or retained earnings, as appropriate. Dufry AG (“ Dufry” or “the Company”) is a publicly listed company with headquarters in basel, Switzerland. the Company is the world’s leading travel retail company. It operates over 1,200 shops worldwide. the shares of the Company are listed on the Swiss Stock exchange (SIX) in Zürich and its brazilian Depository Receipts on the bM&FbOveSPA in São Paulo. the consolidated financial statements of Dufry AG and its subsidiaries (“the Group”) for the year ended December 31, 2012 were authorized for public disclosure in accordance with a resolution of the board of Directors of the Company dated March 7, 2013. 2. accountinG policies 2.1 bASIS OF PRePARAtION the consolidated financial statements of Dufry AG and its subsidiaries (“the Group”) have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Dufry AG’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for financial instruments that are measured at fair values, as explained in the accounting policies below. historical cost is gener- ally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets. the carrying values of recognized assets and liabilities that are hedged items in fair value hedges, and are otherwise carried at amortized cost, are adjusted to record changes in the fair values attributable to the risks that are being hedged. the consolidated financial statements are presented in Swiss francs and all values are rounded to the nearest one hundred thousand, except when otherwise indicated. Page 77 Dufry annual rePort 2012 ConsolIDateD fInanCIal statements 2.3 SuMMARy OF SIGNIFICANt ACCOuNtING POlICIeS a) Business combinations and goodwill business combinations are accounted for using the acqui- sition method. the cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, measured at acquisition date fair value and the amount of any non- controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the Group elects whether it measures the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition costs incurred are expensed and included in the other operational result. Where goodwill forms part of a cash-generating unit and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is in- cluded in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwill disposed of in this circumstance is measured based on the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained. b) revenue recognition Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the rev- enue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received, excluding discounts, rebates, sales taxes or duties. When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the fi- nancial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the con- tractual terms, economic circumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. Net sales Sales are recognized when significant risks and rewards of ownership of the products have been transferred to the customer. Retail sales are settled in cash or by credit card. Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the buyer will be recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration that is deemed to be an asset or liability will be recognized either in the consolidated income statement or as a change to other comprehensive income. If the con- tingent consideration is classified as equity, it will not be remeasured. Subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. In instances where the contingent consid- eration is not a financial instrument, it is measured in accordance with the appropriate IFRS. the Group measures goodwill at the acquisition date as: – the fair value of the consideration transferred; plus – the recognized amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree; plus – if the business combination is achieved in stages, the fair value of the pre-existing equity interest in the ac- quiree; less – the net recognized amount of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. When the excess is negative, a bargain purchase gain is recognized immediately in the consolidated income statement. After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combi- nation is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units. Advertising income Advertising income is recognized when the services have been rendered. c) foreign currency translation the consolidated financial statements are expressed in Swiss francs (ChF). each company in the Group uses its corresponding functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency. transactions in foreign curren- cies are initially recorded in the functional currency using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated in the functional currency us- ing the exchange rate at the reporting date. exchange differences arising on the settlement or on the translation of derivative financial instruments are recognized through the consolidated income statement, except where the hedges on net investments allow the recognition in the other comprehensive income, until the respective invest- ments are disposed of. In this case any related deferred taxes are also accounted for in the other comprehensive income. Non-monetary items that are measured at his- torical cost in the respective functional currency are translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of the initial transactions. At the reporting date, the assets and liabilities of all sub- sidiaries reporting in foreign currency are translated into the presentation currency of Dufry (Swiss francs) using the exchange rate at the reporting date. the consolidated income statement is translated using the average exchange rates of the respective month in which the transactions Page 78 Dufry annual rePort 2012 ConsolIDateD fInanCIal statements occurred. the net translation differences are recognized in the other comprehensive income. On disposal of a for- eign entity or when control is lost, the deferred cumulative translation difference recognized within equity relating to that particular operation is recognized in the consolidated income statement as gain or loss on sale of subsidiaries. Intangible assets and fair value adjustments identified on the acquisition of a new business (purchase price alloca- tion) are treated as assets and liabilities of such operation in the respective functional currency.

In the case of defined contribution plans, the net periodic pension cost to be recognized in the consolidated income statement equals the contributions made by the employer. In the case of defined benefit plans, the net periodic pen- sion cost is determined using the projected unit credit method. the defined benefit obligation is measured as the present value of expected future payments required to settle the obligation resulting from employee service in the current and prior periods. the net periodic pension cost less employee contributions is included in the per- sonnel expenses. Plan assets are recorded at their fair value. Actuarial gains or losses beyond a corridor of 10% of the greater of the present value of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets arising from adjustments posted and changes in actuarial assump- tions are recognized in the consolidated income state- ment over the average remaining service lives of the related plan participants. e) share-based payments equity-settled share-based payments to employees and others providing similar services are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date. the fair value determined at the grant date of the equity- settled share-based payments is expensed on a straight- line basis over the vesting period, based on the estimated number of equity instruments that will eventually vest. At the end of each reporting period, the Group revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest. the impact of the revision of the original esti- mates, if any, is recognized in the consolidated income statement such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate. Where the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, the minimum expense recognized is the expense if the terms had not been modified. An additional expense is recognized for any modification, which increases the total fair value of the share based payment arrangement, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee as measured at the date of modification. f) taxation Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax cur- rently payable and deferred tax. Current income tax Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the tax authorities. the tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or sub- stantially enacted, at the reporting date in the countries where the Group operates and generates taxable income. Page 79 Dufry annual rePort 2012 ConsolIDateD fInanCIal statements Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substan- tially enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax positions not relating to items recognized in the consolidated income statement, are recognized in correlation to the underlying transaction either as other comprehensive income or equity. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current income tax liabilities and the de- ferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity. tax benefits acquired as part of a business combination, but not satisfying the criteria for separate recognition at that date, would be recognized subsequently if new in- formation about facts and circumstances changed. the adjustment would either be treated as a reduction of goodwill (as long as it does not exceed goodwill) if it was noted during the measurement period or afterwards in the consolidated income statement. g) Property, plant and equipment these are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment in fair value. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the lease term. the useful lives applied are as follows: – buildings 15 to 20 years – leasehold improvements 5 to 10 years – Furniture, fixture and vehicles 4 to 10 years – Computer hardware 5 years the asset’s residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date. Additional costs, which extend the useful life of tangible assets, are capitalized. there are no borrowing costs rec- ognized that are associated with the construction of tan- gible assets. the carrying amount of tangible assets is reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. the recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less cost to sell or its value in use. Current income tax relating to items recognized in other comprehensive income is recognized in the same state- ment. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which ap- plicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate. Deferred tax Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable tem- porary differences, except: – When the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a trans- action that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss – In respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, when the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be con- trolled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward of unused tax credits and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible tem- porary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized, except: – When the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transac- tion, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss – In respect of deductible temporary differences associ- ated with investments in subsidiaries, deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is prob- able that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized the carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow the deferred tax asset to be utilized. unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered. Page 80 Dufry annual rePort 2012 ConsolIDateD fInanCIal statements h) Intangible assets Intangible assets acquired (separately or from a business combination) these assets mainly comprise of concession rights, brands and goodwill (for goodwill see 2.3.a). Intangible assets acquired separately are capitalized at cost and those from a business acquisition are capitalized at fair value as at the date of acquisition. Following initial rec- ognition, the cost model is applied to intangible assets. the useful lives of these intangible assets are assessed to be either finite or indefinite. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. Intangible as- sets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized but are tested for impairment annually at the asset or cash gen- erating unit level. the useful life of an intangible asset with an indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether indefinite life assessment continues to be sup- portable. If not, any changes are made on a prospective basis. brands have been assessed to have indefinite use- ful lives and are therefore not amortized. Certain concession rights are granted for periods ranging from 10 to 30 years by the relevant airport authorities. based on Dufry’s experience, these concession rights have been renewed in the past at little or no cost for the Group. As a result these concession rights are assessed as having an indefinite useful life. i) Impairment of non-financial assets Intangible assets with indefinite useful life are not subject to amortization and are tested annually for impairment. Assets that are subject to depreciation and amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circum- stances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. the recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. For the purpose of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are sepa- rately identifiable cash inflows (cash generating units). sary to make the sale. Inventory allowances are set up in the case of slow-moving and obsolete stock. expired items are fully written off. k) Provisions Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Group will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. the amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate at the end of the reporting period of the consideration re- quired to settle the present obligation, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (where the effect of the time value of money is material). When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, a receivable is recognized as an asset if it is virtually certain that the reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably. Contingent liabilities acquired in a business combination Contingent liabilities acquired in a business combination are initially measured at fair value at the acquisition date. At the end of subsequent reporting periods, such contingent liabilities are measured at the higher of the amount that would be recognized in accordance with IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent liabilities and Contingent Assets and the amount initially recognized less cumulative amortization recognized in accordance with IAS 18 Revenue. Onerous contracts Present obligations arising under onerous contracts are recognized and measured as provisions. An onerous con- tract is considered to exist if the Group has a contract under which the unavoidable costs of meeting the obliga- tions under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received from the contract. j) Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of historical cost or net realizable value. the historical costs are determined using the FIFO method. historical cost includes all expenses incurred in bringing the inventories to their present loca- tion and condition. this includes import duties, transport and handling costs and any other directly attributable costs of acquisition. Purchase discounts and rebates are de- ducted in determining the cost of inventories. the net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordi- nary course of business less the estimated costs neces- Restructurings A restructuring provision is recognized when the Group has developed a detailed formal plan for the restructuring and has raised a valid expectation in those affected that it will carry out the restructuring by starting to implement the plan or announcing its main features to those affected by it. the measurement of a restructuring provision includes only the direct expenditures arising from the restructuring, which are those amounts that are both necessarily entailed by the restructuring and not associated with the ongoing activities of the entity. Page 81 Dufry annual rePort 2012 ConsolIDateD fInanCIal statements l) financial instruments Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial lia- bilities on initial recognition. transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in the consolidated income statement. effective interest method the effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. the effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash flows (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the debt instrument, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition. m) financial assets Financial assets are classified into the following catego- ries: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FvtPl), held-to-maturity investments, available-for-sale (AFS) financial assets and loans and receivables. the categorization depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition. All regular way purchases or sales of finan- cial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or conven- tion in the marketplace. Financial assets at FvtPl (fair value through profit or loss) Financial assets are classified as at FvtPl when the financial asset is either held for trading or it is designated as at FvtPl. A financial asset is classified as held for trading if: – it has been acquired principally for the purpose of sell- ing it in the near term; or – it is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument. A financial asset other than a financial asset held for trading may be designated as at FvtPl upon initial recognition if: – such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise; or – the financial asset forms part of a group of financial assets or financial liabilities or both, which is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Group’s documented risk man- agement or investment strategy, and information about the grouping is provided internally on that basis; or – it forms part of a contract containing one or more em- bedded derivatives, and IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement permits the entire com- bined contract (asset or liability) to be designated as at FvtPl. Financial assets at FvtPl are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognized in the consolidated income statement. the net gain or loss recognized in the consolidated income statement incor- porates any dividend or interest earned on the financial asset and is included in the other operating result line item in the consolidated income statement. Fair value is determined in the manner described in note 38. trade and other accounts receivable trade and other receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. trade and other receivables (including credit cards receivables, other accounts re- ceivable, cash and cash equivalents) are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. Interest income is recognized by applying the effective interest rate, except for short-term receivables when the recognition of interest would be immaterial. Impairment of financial assets Financial assets, other than those at FvtPl, are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Financial assets are considered to be impaired when there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been affected. – on initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Group manages together and has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit- taking; or Certain categories of financial assets, such as trade re- ceivables, are assessed for impairment individually. For financial assets carried at amortized cost, the amount of the impairment loss recognized is the difference between Page 82 Dufry annual rePort 2012 ConsolIDateD fInanCIal statements the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. No gain or loss is recognized in the consolidated income statement on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Company’s own equity instruments. the carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade receivables, loans and other re- ceivables, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When a trade receivable is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allow- ance account are recognized in the consolidated income statement. For financial assets measured at amortized cost, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through the consolidated income statement to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortized cost would have been had the impairment not been recognized. Derecognition of financial assets the Group derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. If the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Group recognizes its retained interest in the asset and an as- sociated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Group con- tinues to recognize the financial asset and also recognizes a collateralized borrowing for the proceeds received. n) equity instruments Debt and equity instruments issued by the Group are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in ac- cordance with the substance of the contractual arrange- ments and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. equity instruments issued by the Group are recognized at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. Repurchase of the Company’s own equity instruments is recognized and deducted directly in equity. o) financial liabilities Financial liabilities are classified as either financial lia- bilities at FvtPl or other financial liabilities. Financial liabilities at FvtPl Financial liabilities are classified as at FvtPl when the financial liability is either held for trading or it is desig- nated as at FvtPl. A financial liability is classified as held for trading if: – it has been acquired principally for the purpose of re- purchasing it in the near term; or – on initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Group manages together and has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit- taking; or – it is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument. A financial liability other than a financial liability held for trading may be designated as at FvtPl upon initial rec- ognition if: – such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise; or – the financial liability forms part of a group of financial assets or financial liabilities or both, which is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Group’s documented risk man- agement or investment strategy, and information about the grouping is provided internally on that basis; or – it forms part of a contract containing one or more em- bedded derivatives, and IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement permits the entire com- bined contract (asset or liability) to be designated as at FvtPl. Financial liabilities at FvtPl are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognized in the consolidated income statement. the net gain or loss recognized in the consolidated income statement incorporates any interest paid on the financial liability and is included in the other operational result line item in the consolidated income statement. Fair value is de- termined in the manner described in note 38. Other financial liabilities Other financial liabilities (including borrowings) are sub- sequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method (see l). Page 83 Dufry annual rePort 2012 ConsolIDateD fInanCIal statements Cash flow hedges the effective portion of changes in the fair value of de- rivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the hedging and revaluation reserves. the gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized in the consolidated income statement, and is included in the interest expenses / income line item. Amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity are reclassified to the consolidated income statement in the periods when the hedged item is recognized in the consolidated income state- ment, in the same line of the consolidated income statement as the recognized hedged item. however, when the hedged forecast transaction results in the recognition of a non- financial asset or a non-financial liability, the gains and losses previously recognized in other comprehensive in- come and accumulated in equity are transferred from equity and included in the initial measurement of the cost of the non-financial asset or non-financial liability. hedge accounting is discontinued when the Group revokes the hedging relationship, when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or when it no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. Any gain or loss rec- ognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognized when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognized in the consolidated income statement. When a forecast trans- action is no longer expected to occur, the gain or loss accumulated in equity is recognized immediately in the consolidated income statement. hedges of net investments in foreign operations hedges of net investments in foreign operations are ac- counted for similarly to cash flow hedges. Any gain or loss on the hedging instrument relating to the effective portion of the hedge is recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated under the heading of translation re- serves. the gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the consolidated income statement, and is included in the foreign exchange gains / loss line item. Derecognition of financial liabilities the Group derecognizes financial liabilities when, and only when, the Group’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire. the difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid and payable is recognized in the consolidated income statement. p) Derivative financial instruments the Group enters into a variety of derivative financial in- struments to manage its exposure to interest rate or foreign exchange rate risks, including foreign exchange forward contracts, interest rate swaps and cross currency swaps. Further details of derivative financial instruments are disclosed in note 38. Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value at the date the derivative contracts are entered into and are subse- quently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. the resulting gain or loss is recognized in the consolidated income statement unless the deriva- tive is designated and effective as a hedging instrument, in which event the timing of the recognition in the con- solidated income statement depends on the nature of the hedge relationship. embedded derivatives Derivatives embedded in non-derivative host contracts are treated as separate derivatives when their risks and characteristics are not closely related to those of the host contracts and the host contracts are not measured at FvtPl. q) Hedge accounting the Group designates certain hedging instruments, which include derivatives, embedded derivatives and non-derivatives in respect of foreign currency risk, as either fair value hedges, cash flow hedges, or hedges of net investments in foreign operations. hedges of foreign exchange risk on firm commitments are accounted for as cash flow hedges. At the inception of the hedge relationship, the entity docu- ments the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, along with its risk management objectives and its strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. Furthermore, at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, the Group documents whether the hedging instrument is highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk. Note 38 sets out details of the fair values of the derivative instruments used for hedging purposes.

In addition, the amendment requires disclosures about continuing involvement in derecognized assets to enable the user to evaluate the nature of, and risks as- sociated with, the entity’s continuing involvement in those derecognized assets. the amendment affects disclosure only and has no impact on the Group’s financial position or performance. standards and Interpretations adopted with no material effect on the financial statements during the current reporting period the following new or revised Interpretation has been adopted in these financial statements. Its adoption has not had a significant impact on the amounts reported in these financial statements, but may affect the accounting for future transactions or arrangements. Ias 12 Deferred tax – recovery of underlying assets amendments to Ias 12 (effective january 1, 2012) IAS 12 has been updated to include a presumption that deferred tax on investment property measured using the fair value model in IAS 40 and on non-depreciable assets measured using the revaluation model in IAS 16, should always be measured on a sale basis. Dufry has not ac- counted for any investment property. the preparation of the Group’s financial statements re- quires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of income, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of con- tingent liabilities, at the reporting date. however, uncer- tainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability in the future. Key SOuRCeS OF eStIMAtION uNCeRtAINty the key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation include uncertainties at the reporting date, which may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial periods, are discussed below. Concession rights Concession rights acquired in a business combination are measured at fair value as at the date of acquisition. the useful lives of operating concessions are assessed to be either finite or indefinite based on individual circumstances. the useful lives of operating concessions are reviewed annually to determine whether the indefinite useful life assessment for those concessions continues to be sustain- able. the Group annually tests the operating concessions with indefinite useful lives for impairment. the underlying calculation requires the use of estimates. the comments and assumptions used are disclosed in note 21.1.2. Brands and goodwill the Group tests these items annually for impairment. the underlying calculation requires the use of estimates. the comments and assumptions used are disclosed in note 21.1.4. Income taxes the Group is subject to income taxes in numerous jurisdic- tions. Significant judgment is required in determining the worldwide provision for income taxes. there are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax assessment is uncertain. the Group recognizes liabilities for tax audit issues based on estimates of whether addi- tional taxes will be payable. Where the final tax outcome is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax or deferred tax provisions in the period in which such assessment is made. Further details are given in note 16. Deferred tax assets Deferred tax assets are recognized for all unused tax losses and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilized. Management judgment is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognized, based upon the likely timing and level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies. Further details are given in note 23. Provisions Management makes assumptions in relation to the expected outcome and cash outflows based on the development of each individual case. Further details are given in note 33. share-based payments the Group measures the cost of equity-settled transac- tions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date. estimating fair value requires determining the most appropriate valuation model for a grant of equity instruments, which depends on the terms and conditions of the grant. this also re- quires determining the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the option, volatility and dividend yield and making assumptions about them. the assumptions and models used are dis- closed in note 30. Pension and other post-employment benefit obligations the cost of defined benefit pension plans is determined using actuarial valuations. the actuarial valuation involves assumptions about discount rates, expected rates of return on assets, future salary increases, mortality rates and future pension increases. Due to the long-term nature of these plans, such estimates are subject to significant un- certainty. Further details are given in note 34. Purchase price allocation the determination of the fair values of the identifiable assets (especially the concession rights) and the assumed liabil- ities (especially the contingent liabilities recognized as provisions), resulting from business combinations, is based on valuation techniques such as the discounted cash flow model. Some of the inputs to this model are partially based on assumptions and judgments and any changes thereof would affect the reported values (see note 6). 4. new and revised standards and interpretations in issue but not yet adopted / effective the standards and interpretations that are issued, but not yet effective, up to the date of issuance of the Group’s fi- nancial statements are disclosed below. Only those that are expected to have an impact on the Group’s financial position, performance, and / or disclosures are listed. the Group intends to adopt these standards, if applicable, when they become effective. Page 85 Dufry annual rePort 2012 ConsolIDateD fInanCIal statements Ias 1 Presentation of Items of other Comprehensive Income – amendments to Ias 1 (effective july 1, 2012) the amendments to IAS 1 change the grouping of items presented in other comprehensive income (OCI). Items that could be reclassified (or recycled) to profit or loss at a future point in time (for example, actuarial gains and losses on defined benefit plans) would be presented separately from items that will never be reclassified (for example, net gain on hedge of net investment, exchange differences on translation of foreign operations, net movement on cash flow hedges and net loss or gain on available-for-sale financial assets). the amendment af- fects presentation only and has no impact on the Group’s financial position or performance. Ias 19 employee Benefits (revised) (effective january 1, 2013) the IASb has issued numerous amendments to IAS 19. these range from fundamental changes such as remov- ing the corridor mechanism and the concept of expected returns on plan assets to simple clarifications and re- wording. the Group will change its accounting policy in 2013 to recognize actuarial gains and losses in other comprehensive income. the amended standard will impact the net benefit expense as the expected return on plan assets will be calculated using the same interest rate as applied for the purpose of discounting the benefit obliga- tion. Further details are given in note 34. the application of this new standard will imply a restate- ment of the 2012 situation. based on current knowledge, the financial statements will be impacted at December 31, 2012 as follows: – an additional loss of ChF 0.1 million in the consolidated income statement – an additional loss of ChF 7.7 million in other compre- hensive income – a reduction of pension assets of ChF 0.4 million and addition of pension liabilities of ChF 15.0 million – a reduction of equity of ChF 15.4 million due to the retrospective application of IAS 19R Ias 28 Investments in associates and Joint ventures (as revised in 2011) (effective january 1, 2013) As a consequence of the new IFRS 11, and IFRS 12, IAS 28 Investments in Associates, has been renamed as IAS 28 Investments in Associates and joint ventures, and de- scribes the application of the equity method to investments in joint ventures in addition to associates. Page 86 Dufry annual rePort 2012 ConsolIDateD fInanCIal statements Ias 32 offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities – amendments to Ias 32 (effective january 1, 2014) these amendments clarify the meaning of “currently has a legally enforceable right to set-off”. the amendments also clarify the application of the IAS 32 offsetting criteria to settlement systems (such as central clearing house systems) which apply gross settlement mechanisms that are not simultaneous. entities. IFRS 10 establishes a single control model that applies to all entities including special purpose entities. the changes introduced by IFRS 10 will require manage- ment to exercise significant judgment to determine which entities are controlled and therefore are required to be consolidated by a parent, compared with the requirements that were in IAS 27. based on the preliminary analyses performed, IFRS 10 is not expected to have any impact on the valuation or presentation of the currently consolidated investments of the Group. Ifrs 7 Disclosures – offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities – amendments to Ifrs 7 (effective january 1, 2013) these amendments require an entity to disclose information about rights to set-off and related arrangements (e.g., collateral agreements). the disclosures would provide users with information that is useful in evaluating the ef- fect of netting arrangements on an entity’s financial posi- tion. the new disclosures are required for all recognized financial instruments that are set off in accordance with IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation. the disclo- sures also apply to recognized financial instruments that are subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they are set off in accordance with IAS 32. Ifrs 9 financial Instruments: Classification and measurement (effective january 1, 2015) IFRS 9, as issued, reflects the first phase of the IASb’s work on the replacement of IAS 39 and applies to classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities as defined in IAS 39. the standard was initially effective for annual periods beginning on or after january 1, 2013, but amendments to IFRS 9 Mandatory effective Date of IFRS 9 and transition Disclosures, issued in December 2011, moved the mandatory effective date to january 1, 2015. In subse- quent phases, the IASb will address hedge accounting and impairment of financial assets. the adoption of the first phase of IFRS 9 in 2015 will have an effect on the classifica- tion and measurement of the Group’s financial assets, but will not have an impact on classification and measurements of financial liabilities. the Group will quantify the effect in conjunction with the other phases, when the final standard including all phases is issued. Ifrs 10 Consolidated financial statements, Ias 27 separate financial statements (effective january 1, 2013) IFRS 10 replaces the portion of IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements that addresses the account- ing for consolidated financial statements. It also addresses the issues raised in SIC-12 Consolidation — Special Purpose Ifrs 11 Joint arrangements (effective january 1, 2013) IFRS 11 replaces IAS 31 Interests in joint ventures and SIC-13 jointly-controlled entities — Non-monetary Con- tributions by venturers. IFRS 11 removes the option to account for jointly controlled entities (jCes) using pro- portionate consolidation. Instead, jCes that meet the definition of a joint venture must be accounted for using the equity method. Ifrs 12 Disclosure of Interests in other entities (effective january 1, 2013) IFRS 12 includes all of the disclosures that were previously in IAS 27 related to consolidated financial statements, as well as all of the disclosures that were previously included in IAS 31 and IAS 28. these disclosures relate to an entity’s interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and structured entities. A number of new disclosures are also required, but has no impact on the Group’s financial position or performance. Ifrs 13 fair value measurement (effective january 1, 2013) IFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance under IFRS for all fair value measurements. IFRS 13 does not change when an entity is required to use fair value, but rather provides guidance on how to measure fair value under IFRS when fair value is required or permitted. the Group is cur- rently assessing the impact that this standard will have on the financial position and performance, but based on the preliminary analyses, no material impact is expected. Improvements to Ifrss (may 2012) the adoption of the relevant standards will not have any significant impact on the accounting policies, financial position or performance of the Group.

Concession rights with finite useful lives are tested for impairment whenever events or circum- stances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. 21.1.1 Impairment test of goodwill For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill recognized from business combinations has been allocated to the following cash generating units (CGu’s). these groups also reflect the reportable segments that are expected to ben- efit from the synergies of the business combinations: In mIllIons of CHf eMeA & Asia America I America II united States & Canada total carrying amount of goodwill 31.12. 2012 31.12.2011 99.6 394.1 138.3 75.4 707.4 64.9 431.4 141.9 76.3 714.5 the recoverable amounts of goodwill for each of the above group of CGu’s have been determined based on value- in-use calculations. Such calculations are based on busi- ness plans approved by senior management and use cash flow projections covering a five-year period as well as a discount rate, which represents the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) adjusted for regional specific risks. Cash flows beyond that five-year period have been ex- trapolated using a steady growth rate that does not exceed the long-term average growth rate for the respective markets in which these CGu’s operate. the discounted cash flow model uses net sales as a basis to determine the free cash flow and the value assigned. Net sales pro- jections are based on actual net sales achieved in the year 2012 and latest estimations for the projected years. the intersegment results of the global distribution centers have been assigned/allocated to the respective geograph- ical segments. gooDwIll europe Africa eurasia eMeA & Asia America I America II united States & Canada Post tax DIsCount rates Pre-tax DIsCount rates growtH rates for net sales 2012 2011 2012 2011 2012 2011 – – – 7.17% 8.38% 7.67% 5.45% 6.30% 8.10% 6.22% – 7.21% 7.60% 5.03% – – – 7.82% 9.40% 9.22% 6.89% 8.48% 9.15% 6.78% – 8.21% 9.12% 6.83% – – – 1.9–9.6% 3.8–9.4% 2.0–18.8% 2.6–13.1% 4.5–9.3% 6.0–11.7% 8.0–22.0% – 4.5–12 % 5.2–38.1 % 2.4–10.9 % As basis for the calculation of these discount rates, the following risk free interest rates have been used (derived from prime 10-year bonds rates): ChF 1.23%, euR 2.32%, uSD 2.32% (2011: ChF 0.73%, euR 1.87%, uSD 1.97%). Page 103 Dufry annual rePort 2012 ConsolIDateD fInanCIal statements For the calculation of the discount rates and WACC (weighted average cost of capital), the company used the following relevered beta: beta factor 2012 0.64 2011 0.84 Sensitivity to changes in assumptions Management believes that any reasonably possible change in the key assumptions, on which the recoverable amounts are based, would not cause the respective car- rying amount to exceed its recoverable amount, except for Region America I where the actual recoverable amount exceeds its carrying amount by ChF 256.9, but where a reduction of the gross margin by 1% would lead to an im- pairment of ChF 5.4 million. the key assumptions used for the determination of the value-in-use are the same as the ones described below for concession rights. 21.1.2 Impairment test of concession rights with indefinite useful lives Concession rights are tested for impairment purposes at company level, which represents the cash generating unit. For presentation purposes the CGu’s are grouped into business units. A business unit is a part of Dufry’s busi- ness segments. the following table illustrates the existing business units with concessions rights with indefinite useful life: In mIllIons of CHf Italy Middle east and India total carrying amount of concession rights 31.12. 2012 31.12.2011 48.4 12.0 60.4 48.8 12.4 61.2 the recoverable amounts for each of the CGu’s have been determined based on value-in-use calculations. Such calculations are based on business plans approved by senior management and use cash flow projections cover- ing a five-year period as well as a discount rate, which represents the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) adjusted for local specific risks. Cash flows beyond that five-year period have been ex- trapolated using a steady growth rate that does not exceed the long-term average growth rate for the respective mar- kets in which these CGu’s operate. the discounted cash flow model uses net sales as a basis to determine the free cash flow and subsequently the value assigned. Net sales projections are based on actual net sales achieved in year 2012 and latest estimations for the years thereafter. the key assumptions used for determining the recoverable amounts for these business units are: ConCessIon rIgHts 2012 2011 2012 2011 2012 2011 Post tax DIsCount rates Pre-tax DIsCount rates 1 growtH rates for net sales Italy Middle east and India 7.56% 6.39% 6.19% 6.09% 8.85% 6.39% 7.40% 6.09% 3.0–5.2% 3.0–5.3% 1.9–5.9% 8.9–9.7% 1 based on the country in which the concession is located Discount rates Several factors affect the discount rates: – For the financial debt part, the rate is based on the aver- age yield of the past 5 years of the respective ten-year government bond and is increased by the company’s effective bank margin and adjusted by the effective blended tax rate of the respective CGu. – For the equity part, a 5% equity risk premium is added to the base rate commented above and adjusted by the beta of Dufry’s peer group. the same methodology is used by management to deter- mine the discount rate used in discounted cash flow (DCF) valuations, which are a key instrument to assess business potential of new or additional investment proposals. the Group has used a growth rate of 2% to extrapolate the cash flow projections beyond the period covered by the most recent forecasts. 21.1.4 Brands the brand name Dufry is not allocated to any specific CGu for impairment testing purpose, but to a group of CGu’s. the brand name hudson is allocated only to the CGu’s of hudson. Management believes that the syner- gies from the brands reflecting the economic reality are in accordance with these two groupings. the recoverable amount is determined based on the Relief from the Royalty method that considers a steady royalty stream of 0.3% post tax of the net sales projected of Dufry (without hudson) and a steady royalty stream of 0.9% post tax of the net sales projected of hudson. the net sales projections cover a period of five years (2013–2017) with year on year growth rates between 2.9% and 12.6% (2011: 4.7%–21.0%) (budget). these growth rates do not exceed the long-term average growth rate for Dufry Group. the discount rate of 5.9% (2011: 5.0%) represents the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) at Group level. the recov- erable amount exceeds the carrying amount by ChF 265.7 million (2011: ChF 221.6 million). Page 104 Dufry annual rePort 2012 ConsolIDateD fInanCIal statements Sensitivity to changes in assumptions the actual recoverable amount for the CGu subject to impairment testing exceeds its carrying amount by ChF 509.7 million (2011: ChF 434.0 million). With regard to the assessment of value-in-use of the CGu, management believes that no reasonably possible change in any of the above key assumptions would cause the carrying value of the concession rights to materially exceed its recover- able amount. 21.1.3 key assumptions used for value-in-use calculations the calculation of value-in-use is most sensitive to the following assumptions: – Sales growth – Gross margin and suppliers prices – Concession fee levels – Discount rates – Growth rate used to extrapolate Sales growth Sales growth is estimated based on several factors. First Management takes into consideration statistics published by external experts, such as Air4cast or ACI (Airports Council International) to estimate the development of in- ternational passenger traffic per airport or country where Dufry is active. Management also takes into consideration specific price inflation factors of the country, cross cur- rency effect and the expected potential to capture clients (penetration) per business segment. Gross margins the expected gross margins are based on average prod- uct assortment values estimated by the management for the budget 2013. these values are maintained over the planning period or where specific actions are planned, these values have been increased or decreased by up to 1% over the 5 year planning horizon compared to the historical data. the gross margin is also affected by sup- plier’s prices. estimates are obtained from global nego- tiations held with the main suppliers for the products and countries for which products are sourced, as well as data relating to specific commodities during the months before the reporting date. Concession fee levels these assumptions are important because, as well as using specific economic sector data for growth rates (as noted below), management assesses how the position of the CGu, relative to its competitors, might change over the projected period. For the CGu’s subject to a value- in-use calculation, management expects the competitive position to remain stable over the budget period. 22. cash flows used for purchase of intanGible assets In mIllIons of CHf Payables for capital expenditure at january 1 Additions of intangible assets (note 21) Payables for capital expenditure at December 31 Currency translation adjustment total Cash flow Page 105 Dufry annual rePort 2012 ConsolIDateD fInanCIal statements 2012 (6.9) (26.2) 4.4 0.1 (28.6) 2011 (12.8) (23.9) 6.9 (0.2) (30.0) 23. deferred tax assets and liabilities temporary differences arise from the following positions: In mIllIons of CHf 31.12. 2012 31.12.2011 DeFeRReD tAX ASSetS Property, plant and equipment Intangible assets Provisions and other payables tax loss carry-forward Other total DeFeRReD tAX lIAbIlItIeS Property, plant and equipment Intangible assets Provisions and other payables Other total Deferred tax liabilities net there are no temporary differences associated with invest- ments in subsidiaries, for which deferred tax liabilities need to be recognized.

In addition, members of the key management personnel of Dufry or close members of the family are also considered related parties as well as post-employ- ment benefit plans for the benefit of employees of the Group. transactions with related parties are conducted on an at-arm’s-length basis. the related party transactions and relationships for the Dufry Group are the following: Dufry Group purchased during 2012, goods from the follow- ing related parties: hudson Wholesale for ChF 23.1 million (2011: ChF 23.2 million) and from hudson RPM ChF 4.5 mil- lion (2011: ChF 4.6 million). the purchase prices used in these transactions were at arm’s length. At December 31, 2012, the Dufry Group had open invoices with the following related parties: hudson Wholesale ChF 1.9 million (2011: ChF 2.4 million) and with hudson RPM ChF 0.4 million (2011: ChF 0.5 million). latin American Airport holding ltd is the holding company of Inmobiliaria Fumisa SA de Cv (Fumisa) and Aeropuertos Dominicanos Siglo XXI, SA (Aerodom). three members of the Group’s board of Directors are also members of the board of Directors of latin American Airport holding ltd. Advent International Corporation manages funds that con- trol among others, the Group, Fumisa and Aerodom. Dufry and Inmobiliaria Fumisa SA de Cv, the airport op- erator of the International Airport benito juarez of Ciudad de Mexico reached an agreement in May 2012, to amend the present agreement setting new terms and conditions for the years 2012 and 2013 for the shop rental. In October 2010, Fumisa granted a reduction in the amount of rent as agreed on the original contract until the end of 2011, as palliative measures after the reduction in passenger num- bers caused when Mexicana Airlines ceased operations in August 2010. During 2012, even though traffic develop- ment was improving, Fumisa agreed to still offer Dufry better conditions than the original terms of the agree- ment. During 2012 the local operations amortized prepaid concessions in the value of ChF 1.4 million and accrued concession fees of ChF 19.3 million (2011: ChF 16.2 mil- lion). In this context, both parties also agreed to waive Page 121 Dufry annual rePort 2012 ConsolIDateD fInanCIal statements the receivables and payables existing at such date. As a consequence Dufry derecognized prepaid concessions fees in the amount of ChF 7.3 million in the current period 2012 through profit and loss. Inversiones tunc SA operates shops at several airports in the Dominican Republic under concession agreements with Aerodom. According to these agreements, Inversiones tunc SA compensated through monthly rental fees the right to use the commercial areas leased to them by Aerodom. In 2012, the total sales based rent for Inversiones tunc SA amounted to ChF 5.9 million (2011: ChF 5.1 million). benefits was ChF 15.0 million (2011: ChF 15.7 million). this amount includes: a) 157,541 stock options (RSu’s) of the biannual award 2011 (2011: 181,541 RSu’s of the biannual award 2011) of Dufry AG, b) a cash compensation of ChF 9.0 million (2011: ChF 8.8 million), c) employer’s contribu- tion to the pension and other post-employment benefits of ChF 1.0 million (2011: ChF 2.0 million). the expenses accrued in relation to the restricted stock unit plan 2011 which covers a two years period 2011/2012 was ChF 5.0 million (2011: ChF 5.0 million) and is included in the short-term employee benefits mentioned above. On February 1, 2012 transportes Aereos de Xalapa SA de Cv, a subsidiary of Aerodom agreed to provide air transport services to Dufry. During 2012 Dufry received services for ChF 3.5 million (2011: ChF 2.6 million). the legally required disclosure of the participations and compensations of the members of the board of Directors and the Group executive Committee of Dufry are explained in the respective notes to the stand alone financial state- ments of Dufry AG. 37 commitments and continGencies GuARANtee COMMItMeNtS the Group enters into long-term agreements with airport authorities, seaport authorities and other landlords. the concessionaires use to require a minimum annual guar- antee, which can be based on sales, number of passengers or other indicators of operational activity to guarantee the performance of Dufry’s obligations. In case of an early termination, the operation can be required to compensate the concessionaire for lost earnings. the Group or their subsidiaries have granted these guarantees regarding the performance of the above mentioned long-term contracts directly or through third parties. As at December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, no party has exercised their right to call upon these guarantees. Some of these long-term concession agreements, which Dufry has entered into, include clauses to prevent early termination, such as obligations to fulfill guaranteed minimal payments during the full term of the agreement. the conditions for an onerous contract will be met, when such operation presents a non-profitable outlook. In this event, a provision based on the present value of the future net cash flows needs to be created. At the reporting date of 2012 and 2011, no such onerous concession exists. Mr. Dante Marro, who until june 2012 was the Chief Oper- ating Officer of region europe and member of the Group executive Committee of Dufry, controls the company Gestione Spazi Attrezzati Srl (GSA). An agreement entered in 2002 granted GSA usufruct rights up to May 2041 on 6% of the shares of Dufrital SpA, plus at expiration 6% of the undistributed retained earnings of Dufrital SpA. In 2012, ChF 0.3 million (2011: ChF 0.0 million) was recognized as usufruct in the income statement. On june 14, 2011 Dufry International AG purchased back the usufruct right granted to Gestione Spazi Attrezzati Srl (GSA) which permitted the benefits of share ownership, including the receipt of dividends on 10% of the shares of Dufry Shop Finance Srl, which otherwise would have expired in May 4, 2041 for ChF 5.4 million (euR 4.5 million). Mr. josé González, Chief Operating Officer of region Cen- tral America & Caribbean and member of the Group executive Committee until june 30, 2012, owns 26.3% of the share capital of the subsidiary Puerto libre Interna- tional SA (“PlISA”).

As a global retailer, Dufry has worldwide activities which need to be financed in different currencies and are con- sequently affected by fluctuations of foreign exchange and interest rates. the Group treasury manages the fi- nancing of the operations through centralized credit facilities as to ensure an adequate allocation of these resources and simultaneously minimize the potential financial risk impacts. Dufry continuously monitors the market risk, such as risks related to foreign currency, interest rate, credit, liquidity and capital. the Group seeks to minimize the currency exposure and interest rates risks using appropriate trans- action structures or alternatively, using derivative financial instruments to hedge the exposure to these risks. the treasury policy forbids entering or trading financial instru- ments for speculative purposes. 38.4 MARKet RISK the Group may enter into a variety of financial instru- ments to manage its exposure to foreign currency risk, including forward foreign exchange contracts, currency swaps and over the counter plain vanilla options. During the current financial year the Group utilized for- eign currency forward contracts and options for hedging purposes. 38.5 FOReIGN CuRReNCy RISK MANAGeMeNt Dufry manages the cash flow surplus or deficits in foreign currency of the operations through FX-transactions in the respective local currency. Major imbalances in foreign currencies at Group level are hedged through foreign exchange forwards contracts. the terms of the foreign currency forward contracts have been negotiated to match the terms of the forecasted transactions. Dufry’s financial assets and liabilities are mainly exposed to market risk in foreign currency exchange and interest rates. the Group’s objective is to minimize the consolidated income statement impact and to reduce fluctuations in cash flows through structuring the respective transactions to minimize market risks. In cases, where the associated risk cannot be hedged appropriately through a transaction structure and the evaluation of market risks indicates a 38.5.1 foreign currency sensitivity analysis Among various methodologies to analyze and manage risk, Dufry utilizes a system based on sensitivity analyses. this tool enables Group treasury to identify the level of risk of each entity. Sensitivity analysis provides an approximate quantification of the exposure in the event that certain specified parameters were to be met under a specific set of assumptions.

Contracts or underlying principal amounts indicate the volume of business outstanding at the balance sheet date. the fair values are determined by reference to market prices or standard pricing models that used observable market inputs at December 31 of each year.

All interest rate swap contracts exchanging floating rate interest amounts for fixed rate interest amounts are des- ignated as cash flow hedges in order to reduce the Group’s cash flow exposure resulting from variable interest rates on borrowings. the interest rate swaps and the interest payments on the loan occur simultaneously and the amount accumulated in equity is reclassified to the con- solidated income statement over the period that the float- ing rate interest payments on debt affect the consolidated income statement. 38.6.2 Interest rate sensitivity analysis the sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates derivatives and non-derivative instruments at the reporting date. the risk analysis provided here assumes a simultaneous increase of 100 basis points of the interest rate of all interest bearing financial positions. If interest rates had been 100 basis points higher whereas all other variables were held constant, the Group’s net earnings for the year 2012 would decrease by ChF 13.5 mil- lion (2011: decrease by ChF 7.4 million). 38.6.3 allocation of financial assets and liabilities to interest classes In % In mIllIons of CHf Page 129 Dufry annual rePort 2012 ConsolIDateD fInanCIal statements at DeCemBer 31, 2012 average variable interest rate average fixed interest rate variable interest rate fixed interest rate total interest bearing non-interest bearing Cash and cash equivalents trade and credit card receivables Other accounts receivable Other non-current assets financial assets trade payables Financial debt, short-term Other liabilities Financial debt, long-term Other non-current liabilities financial liabilities net financial liability 0.8% 0.5% 400.5 1.6 402.1 3.7% 0.5% 0.0% 5.5% 2.0% – – 5.0 405.5 – 36.7 – – – 0.8 2.4 – 3.2 – – – 5.8 407.9 – 39.9 – 5.5% 894.4 451.0 1,345.4 – 931.1 525.6 – 454.2 451.8 – 1,385.3 977.4 total 434.0 59.5 54.3 31.6 31.9 59.5 54.3 25.8 171.5 579.4 247.8 – 255.2 – 7.8 510.8 339.3 247.8 39.9 255.2 1,345.4 7.8 1,896.1 1,316.7 at DeCemBer 31, 2011 average variable interest rate average fixed interest rate variable interest rate fixed interest rate total interest bearing non-interest bearing In % In mIllIons of CHf Cash and cash equivalents trade and credit card receivables Other accounts receivable Other non-current assets financial assets trade payables Financial debt, short-term Other liabilities Financial debt, long-term Other non-current liabilities financial liabilities net financial liability 1.1% 2.6% 0.1% 11.7% 4.5% 2.0% 139.6 – (0.1) 3.4 142.9 – 27.9 0.1 2.5% 4.2% 1,525.6 – 1,553.6 1,410.7 2.2 – 0.1 1.7 4.0 – 2.7 – 4.2 – 6.9 2.9 141.8 – – 5.1 146.9 – 30.6 0.1 1,529.8 – 1,560.5 1,413.6 total 199.1 47.0 52.4 33.3 331.8 301.1 30.6 227.5 1,529.9 11.3 2,100.4 1,768.6 57.3 47.0 52.4 28.2 184.9 301.1 – 227.4 0.1 11.3 539.9 355.0 38.7 CReDIt RISK MANAGeMeNt Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty may default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. Almost all Groups’ sales are retail sales made against cash or internationally recognized credit/debit cards. Dufry has policies in place to ensure that other sales are only made to customers with an appropriate credit history or that the credit risk is insured adequately. the remaining credit risk is in relation to taxes, refunds from suppliers and guarantee deposits. the credit risk on cash deposits or derivative financial instruments relates to banks or financial institutions. the Group monitors the credit ranking of these institutions and does not expect defaults from non-performance of these counterparties. 38.7.1 maximum credit risk the carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements, after deduction of any allowances for losses, represents the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk. Page 130 Dufry annual rePort 2012 ConsolIDateD fInanCIal statements 38.8 lIquIDIty RISK MANAGeMeNt the group evaluates this risk as the ability to settle its fi- nancial liabilities on time and at a reasonable price. beside its capability to generate cash through its operations, Dufry mitigates liquidity risk by keeping unused credit facilities with financial institutions. (See note 32). 38.8.1 remaining maturities for non-derivative financial assets and liabilities the following tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial assets and liabilities (based on the earliest date on which the Group can receive or be required to pay). the tables include principal and interest cash flows. at DeCemBer 31, 2012 In mIllIons of CHf Cash and cash equivalents trade and credit card receivables Other accounts receivable Other non–current assets total cash inflows trade payables Financial debt, short–term Other liabilities Financial debt, long–term Other non–current liabilities total cash outflows at DeCemBer 31, 2011 In mIllIons of CHf Cash and cash equivalents trade and credit card receivables Other accounts receivable Other non–current assets total cash inflows trade payables Financial debt, short–term Other liabilities Financial debt, long–term Other non–current liabilities total cash outflows 1–6 montHs 6–12 montHs 1–2 years more tHan 2 years 434.8 59.5 53.7 – 548.0 247.9 40.0 254.9 14.7 – 557.5 – – 0.1 – 0.1 – 0.2 0.1 12.0 – 12.3 – – – – – – – – 23.7 – 23.7 – – – 31.6 31.6 – – – 1,443.3 7.8 total 434.8 59.5 53.8 31.6 579.7 247.9 40.2 255.0 1,493.7 7.8 1,451.1 2,044.6 1–6 montHs 6–12 montHs 1–2 years more tHan 2 years 199.9 47.0 51.9 – 298.8 301.1 39.6 223.2 64.4 – 628.3 0.5 – 0.5 – 1.0 – 9.0 2.6 64.3 – 75.9 – – – 0.1 0.1 – – – 844.5 – 844.5 – – 0.1 33.4 33.5 – – – 709.2 11.3 720.5 total 200.4 47.0 52.5 33.5 333.4 301.1 48.6 225.8 1,682.4 11.3 2,269.2 Page 131 Dufry annual rePort 2012 ConsolIDateD fInanCIal statements 38.8.2 remaining maturities for derivative financial instruments the following table details the Group’s liquidity analysis for its derivative financial instruments. the table has been drawn up based on the undiscounted contractual net cash inflows and outflows on derivative instruments that settle on a net basis and those derivatives that re- quire gross settlement.

Where such prices are not avail- able, a discounted cash flow analysis is performed using the applicable yield curve for the duration of the instruments for non-optional derivatives, and option pricing models for optional derivatives. Foreign currency forward contracts are measured using quoted forward exchange rates and yield curves derived from quoted interest rates matching maturities of the contracts. Foreign exchange option contracts are measured by using an option pricing valuation model. – the fair values of other financial assets and financial liabilities (excluding those described above) are deter- mined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on discounted cash flow analysis. 38.9.3 fair value measurements recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position the following table provides an analysis of financial instru- ments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable: – level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. – level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). – level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). the Group held the following financial instruments measured at fair value at the reporting date: In mIllIons of CHf ASSetS MeASuReD At FAIR vAlue ¹ Foreign exchange related derivative financial instruments Interest rate related derivative financial instruments Available-for-sale financial assets total assets lIAbIlItIeS MeASuReD At FAIR vAlue ² Foreign exchange related derivative financial instruments Interest rate related derivative financial instruments total liabilities 1 Included in the position “other accounts receivable” in the statement of financial position 2 Included in the position “other liabilities” in the statement of financial position During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, there were no transfers between level 1 and level 2 fair value measurements, and no transfers into and out of level 3 fair value measurements. level 2 31.12. 2012 level 2 31.12. 2011 0.5 – – 0.5 0.3 – 0.3 0.5 – – 0.5 0.8 1.0 1.8 Page 133 Dufry annual rePort 2012 ConsolIDateD fInanCIal statements 39 events after reportinG date DuFRy SIGNS AGReeMeNt tO ACquIRe tRAvel RetAIl OPeRAtIONS OF FOllI FOllIe GROuP On October 10, 2012, Dufry signed an agreement to acquire 51% of the travel retail business of Folli Follie Group for a total consideration of ChF 241.6 million (euR 200.5 million). Dufry expects to close the transaction in the next weeks. the transaction includes, among other elements, an option to acquire the remaining 49% of the shares after four years at fair market value. before closing of the transaction, the target business will be carved-out into a separate entity by Folli Follie Group in a series of legal steps which involves various regulatory and shareholder approvals. Furthermore, a syndicate of local banks has committed to provide the new entity with a non-recourse bank facility of ChF 403.7 million (euR 335 million) at closing of the transaction, structured as a committed 5-year amortizing term loan secured through pledging of all shares of the new entity.

Board of Directors’ responsibility The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) and the requirements of Swiss law. This responsibility includes designing, implementing and maintaining an internal control system relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. The Board of Directors is further responsible for selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances. Auditor’s responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Swiss law and Swiss Auditing Standards and International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers the internal control system relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control system. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Member of the Swiss Institute of Certified Accountants and Tax Consultants Page 137 Dufry annual rePort 2012 ConsolIDateD fInanCIal statements 2 Opinion In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2012 give a true and fair view of the financial position, the results of operations and the cash flows in accordance with IFRS and comply with Swiss law. Report on other legal requirements We confirm that we meet the legal requirements on licensing according to the Auditor Oversight Act (AOA) and independence (article 728 CO and article 11 AOA) and that there are no circumstances incompatible with our independence.

Board of Directors’ responsibility The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of Swiss law and the company’s articles of incorporation. This responsibility includes designing, implementing and maintaining an internal control system relevant to the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. The Board of Directors is further responsible for selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances. Auditor’s responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Swiss law and Swiss Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers the internal control system relevant to the entity’s preparation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control system. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2012 comply with Swiss law and the company’s articles of incorporation.
