Frankfurt Airport behind the Scenes

With 58 million passengers and more than two million metric tons of air freight and air mail handled, Frankfurt Airport is 
one of the largest passenger and cargo airports in the world. While passengers only experience the airport processes that 
are visible to them, such as check-in or security control, Fraport and its business partners provide a much broader range of 
services “behind the scenes” to ensure a seamless traveling experience. Some of these processes are presented to you on 
the section dividers of this Annual Report.

You can also get an idea of further Fraport processes on site during a tour of the airport and experience the fascinating world 
of the airport live.

Aviation

A good 17,000 airfield lights...

In the previous fiscal year about 473,000 aircraft took off and landed at Frankfurt. This equated to about 1,300 
daily aircraft movements. Seamless airport operations would be impossible without the use of about 17,000 airfield 
lights that mark the ways between the take-off and landing runway system and the terminal. To ensure that the 
system is always ready for use, Fraport maintains the airfield lights on an as-required and cyclical basis. In addition 
to a computer-controlled system, which reports defective halogen or LED lamps, Fraport employees check that 
the airfield lights are functioning by covering the take-off and landing runway system on a regular basis.

Fraport Annual Report 2013

To our Shareholders

...with uninterrupted energy supply

Fraport  monitors  the  uninterrupted  energy  supply  of  Frankfurt  Airport  on  a  centralized  basis  and  ensures  this 
by means of a redundantly configured power supply system. Even if the power supply system fails, Fraport can 
guarantee an energy supply to the take-off and landing runway system by using several oversized diesel motors. 
Direct refueling of the motors, whose tanks hold about 40,000 liters of diesel, ensures that airport operations can 
be constantly maintained in an emergency. Fraport requires about 600 million kilowatt hours annually to operate 
the Frankfurt site.

Letter of the CEO

Your company has performed well in the past fiscal year. After a difficult start to the year with  

declining passenger numbers at our main site in Frankfurt, a good summer season and solid 

booking numbers in the final months of the fiscal year helped us to achieve an increase in 

passengers of almost one percent to more than 58 million. The cargo tonnage handled in 

Frankfurt also developed favorably, increasing to almost 2.1 million metric tons. Frankfurt  

Airport was thus the largest cargo airport in Europe last year, ahead of the previous front  

runner Paris-Charles de Gaulle.

Outside of Frankfurt Airport, our Group airports were also doing well. I would like to high-

light in particular our investment at Lima Airport, which continued to benefit from the 

country’s economic prosperity and the upturn in tourism. Almost 15 million passengers have 

meant that the site’s growth in percentage terms was again in double digits. Our airport  

investment at Antalya also saw significant passenger growth, welcoming around seven percent 

more passengers notwithstanding the strong result in the previous year. Over the past fiscal 

year we also laid the foundations for future growth in our investments in St. Petersburg, Varna 

and Burgas. The opening of new terminals at those three sites means that the investments 

now have sufficient capacity to accommodate the expected traffic growth.

The Group-wide positive traffic development was also reflected in the financial performance 

indicators of the fiscal year 2013. The important operating key figures of Group EBITDA, 

which amounted to around 880 million Euros, and Group EBIT, which amounted to a good 

528 million Euros, both exceeded the previous year’s figures by more than 30 million Euros. 

Due to the worsening of the Group financial result which had already been forecasted at the 

start of the fiscal year, the Group result in 2013 was almost 16 million Euros lower than the 

previous year figure at around 236 million Euros. The causes of this included among others 

high non-recurring income in the previous year within the financial asset management.

Group Management ReportTo our ShareholdersFraport Annual Report 20136

To our Shareholders / Letter of the CEO

Despite the decreasing Group result, we will be proposing an unchanged dividend of 1.25 Euro 

per share to you at our Annual General Meeting at the end of May this year. This would be 

equivalent to a pay-out ratio of around 52 percent of the underlying Group result. 

Aviation market in Europe remains under pressure

Dear Shareholders, the aviation market in Europe continues to be characterized by high intensity 

of competition. This is caused by various factors such as the persistently weak macroeconomic 

environment in Europe, price-sensitive demand, the continuing success of so-called low-cost 

providers and the undiminished high level of growth of new competitors from the Middle 

East. In this environment, the German aviation tax and the emissions trading scheme which 

currently only applies to flights within the European Union additionally comprise considerable 

competitive disadvantages for the domestic aviation industry. Your company nevertheless 

performed well at Frankfurt Airport in 2013, despite these difficult circumstances, and also 

expects further passenger and cargo growth for 2014.

As our economic system becomes increasingly collaborative on both a national and international 

level, it requires excellent mobility options for road, rail and air. With around 300 destinations, 

Frankfurt Airport is Germany’s “gate to the world”. At the same time we are seeing greater 

sensitization amongst the population to sources of noise, irrespective of the carrier in question. 

That is why in 2013, we, together with our partners in the “Alliance for Noise Abatement”,  

also gave high priority to working on further reducing the impact of aircraft noise within 

the framework of the legally, technically and operationally feasible. For example, we have 

decided to invest in a new satellite-supported ground-based augmentation system (GBAS) 

at Frankfurt Airport. If aircraft have corresponding technical equipment and authorization 

is granted by the supervisory authorities, GBAS will mean that aircraft can also land on the 

south and center runways at a raised approach angle of 3.2 degrees.In addition, we are  

giving the airlines further commercial incentives to fly the passenger growth at Frankfurt 

Airport with low-noise aircraft with our “FRAConnect” program. 

Outlook for 2014

Despite the recent positive traffic development, 2014 will again be a challenging year for 

your company. In view of the competitive environment, we will continue to invest in a more 

customer-friendly layout of our airport at the Frankfurt site. At the same time, we need to 

further speed up our processes and make them more efficient without lowering our sights 

regarding high quality.

Fraport Annual Report 2013To our Shareholders / Letter of the CEO

7

Expressed in figures, we are expecting passenger growth of two to three percent at the  

Frankfurt site for the current fiscal year and continuing positive development at Group airports. 

With respect to financial performance, we expect a Group EBITDA of between approxi-

mately 780 and some 800 million Euros and Group EBIT to develop towards up to around 

500 million Euros for the 2014 fiscal year. Compared to the aforementioned figures for fiscal 

year 2013, at first glance this looks like a decrease. However, this is solely due to a changed 

accounting standard which has to be applied from fiscal year 2014 onwards. This standard 

means that as of January 1, 2014, there will no longer be the option to consolidate joint  

ventures proportionately in Group accounting, which in our case particularly affects our  

investment in Antalya Airport. The result from Antalya will from then on only be reported  

in the Group’s financial result, which will lead to a distortion of the figures reported in  

the current fiscal year.

If we had already applied this accounting standard to the figures for the 2013 fiscal year, the 

corresponding comparative figure for EBITDA would have been around 733 million Euros 

and the comparative figure for EBIT would have been 439 million Euros. The forecast for both 

figures for 2014 is accordingly around 40 to 60 million Euros higher than the adjusted figures 

for fiscal year 2013. We also expect a positive change in the Group result compared to 2013. 

This growth will also be in 2014 only possible through the dedication and great commitment 

of our employees, and I would like to take this opportunity to thank them on behalf of the 

whole Executive Board.

We would also like to thank you, our esteemed shareholders, for the trust you have placed 

in us and for the open dialog. Let’s shape Fraport’s future and face the challenges which lie 

ahead of us together. 

Sincerely yours,

Stefan Schulte

Report of the Supervisory Board

The Supervisory Board performed all the tasks incumbent on it under law, the company statutes and rules of internal  

procedure  and  continuously  monitored  the  management  of  the  company  in  fiscal  year  2013.  The  Supervisory  Board  

obtained regular, timely and comprehensive information from the Executive Board, in writing and orally, on the proposed 

business policies, fundamental questions concerning future management and corporate planning, the situation and de-

velopment of the company and the Group as well as significant business transactions, and consulted with the Executive  

Board on these matters. Deviations in the development of business from the planning were explained in detail to the  

Supervisory Board. Based on the reports of the Executive Board, the Supervisory Board has extensively discussed the  

business transactions of significance to the company. The Supervisory Board harmonized the strategic alignment of the  

company with the Executive Board. In addition, the Chairman of the Executive Board maintained regular contact with the 

Chairman of the Supervisory Board and informed him about the current developments concerning the business situation 

as well as significant business transactions. The Supervisory Board was directly involved in all the decisions that were of 

fundamental importance to the company. Where required by law, the company statutes or rules of internal procedure,  

the Supervisory Board voted on the relevant proposals made by the Executive Board after having thoroughly examined  

and consulted on those matters.

During  the  reporting  period,  the  Supervisory  Board  convened  five  ordinary  meetings,  one  strategy  session  and  one  

special meeting. On average for all of the meetings, around 98 % of the members took part in the meetings. No member  

of the Supervisory Board took part in fewer than half of the meetings of the Board.

Focal points of the consultation of the Supervisory Board

The business development of the Fraport Group and its Group companies, with a particular emphasis on the traffic and  

earnings development at Frankfurt Airport, were the subject of regular discussions by the Supervisory Board. The improved  

development of the European economy and the recovery in passenger numbers played a prominent role over the course 

of the year. 

Besides this regular reporting, the following matters were extensively discussed in particular:

 > In 2013, the Supervisory Board also obtained extensive information on various measures and initiatives to improve  
active and passive noise abatement. As part of the “alliance for noise abatement” concluded already in February 2012, 

19 measures for active noise abatement were defined and will be implemented successively, with regular reports on 

their  effectiveness  being  submitted  to  the  Supervisory  Board.  Additional  spreading  of  noise-based  airport  charges  

was implemented at the beginning of 2013 in order to give airlines greater incentive to use quieter air planes. Also  

the current implementation status of the voluntary real estate program, CASA, the application deadline for which has  

been extended to October 31, 2014, formed part of the regular reporting to the Supervisory Board. In addition under  

particular focus was the program to secure roofing from gusts of wind caused by wake turbulences, under which the  

owners of approximately 3,000 buildings beneath the arriving and departing flight paths can make a claim for the  

securing of roof tiles.

 > In addition, more detailed information was provided about the plans for Terminal 3 on the south side of Frankfurt Airport.  
Alternatives to the construction of the terminal were discussed, the demand forecast was critically reviewed and the  

processes in the existing terminals were reviewed. Here, the Supervisory Board was particularly pleased to note the  

improvement of passenger satisfaction as a result of the “Great to have you here!” service initiative. Additionally, waiting 

times at security controls at year-end were critically attended.

Group Management ReportTo our ShareholdersFraport Annual Report 20131 2

To our Shareholders / Report of the Supervisory Board

 > As a continuation of the internationalization strategy of the Group, the Supervisory Board agreed to the participation in 
the tender process for the new international Istanbul Airport at its special meeting held on April 29, 2013. Furthermore, 

it authorized the investment and capital expenditure committee with the final decision regarding the tender process 

in Rio de Janeiro after thorough prior consultation. The committee agreed to submit an offer for the concession at its 

special meeting on November 8, 2013.

 > With respect to the investment in Manila, the Supervisory Board continued to support the efforts in and out of court in  
reaching an appropriate compensation agreement with the Philippine government for the capital expenditure made 

in connection with the construction of Terminal 3 at Manila Airport. The progress of the ICSID arbitration proceedings 

in Washington, for which hearings took place in the fall of 2013, remained the subject of particular focus.

 > In addition, the Supervisory Board dealt with the financial statements and management reports of the company and the 
Group as at December 31, 2012, the agenda and the including resolution proposals for the Annual General Meeting  

(AGM) on May 31, 2013, as well as the 2012 Annual Report. Furthermore, the Supervisory Board has decided to pro-

pose to the AGM that PricewaterhouseCoopers Aktiengesellschaft Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft, Frankfurt am Main,  

be appointed as the auditor for fiscal year 2013 in accordance with the scheduled cyclical change of auditors.

Furthermore, the Supervisory Board made specific decisions on the following subjects, among others:

 > As a continuation of its previous resolution, the Supervisory Board agreed to implement the expansion of the south of 

Frankfurt Airport in accordance with the zoning decision and the current version of the preliminary plan.

 > It authorized the executive committee’s expansion from six to eight members and, on its recommendation with regard  
to Section 4.2.3 (2) of the German Corporate Governance Code (GCGC), agreed to the introduction of upper amount 

limits for the variable remuneration elements of the Executive Board’s remuneration, on which no agreement had thus 

far been made. The Executive Board’s remuneration now specifies upper amount limits as a whole and with respect 

to all variable remuneration.

 > It also approved the 2014 Business Plan.

As part of its strategy session in mid-June 2013, the Supervisory Board also addressed in more detail the challenges arising 

for Frankfurt Airport as a result of the deteriorating market environment in particular. Measures for structural counteraction 

in view of the negative traffic development in the first six months of 2013 were also discussed. Further topics of discus-

sion were freight as a major factor for success for the site and the critical compliance with the planned revised version 

of EU ground handling services guidelines.

Work of the committees

The Supervisory Board continued its successful work with the committees it had formed to increase the efficiency of its 

work and to prepare for the Supervisory Board meetings. In individual appropriate cases and in accordance with law, 

decision-making powers of the Supervisory Board were granted to the committees. The chairpersons of the committees 

provided regular reports at the next Supervisory Board meeting to the plenum of the Supervisory Board on the work of the 

committees. The composition and responsibilities of the individual committees can be found in the chapter “Statement  

on  Corporate  Governance  and  Corporate  Governance  Report”  as  well  as  on  the  Group’s  website  www.fraport.com  

under the section The Fraport Group.

The  finance  and  audit  committee  met  seven  times  during  the  reporting  period  and  discussed  significant  business 

transactions, the annual and consolidated financial statements, the management reports and the recommendation for 

the appropriation of profit to the AGM, respectively, the amount of the dividend. Representatives of the auditor often 

participated in the meetings on individual agenda items. The finance and audit committee prepared the determination 

of the focal points of the 2013 audit for the Supervisory Board. The half-year interim report and the other interim reports 

were discussed in detail prior to their publication. Comments were also made on the 2014 Business Plan of Fraport AG 

(prepared in accordance with the German Commercial Code, HGB) and the 2014 Group Plan (prepared in accordance 

with IFRS). Furthermore, the finance and audit committee dealt with the issuance of awarding the audit mandate to the 

auditor and made a proposal to the plenum for the election of the auditor for fiscal year 2013. In this context, the audi-

tor’s confirmation of independence pursuant to Section 7.2.1 of the GCGC was obtained, the qualification of the auditor 

monitored and the remuneration of same discussed. Furthermore, the issue of mandates for non-audit-related services 

Fraport Annual Report 2013To our Shareholders / Report of the Supervisory Board

13

to the auditor was discussed. In accordance with the cyclical scheduled change of the auditor, it was proposed to the 

plenum to recommend PricewaterhouseCoopers Aktiengesellschaft Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft, Frankfurt am Main, 

to the AGM as auditor for fiscal year 2013.

Further focal points of the proceedings were asset and liability management as well as the regular supplementary report 

in accordance with Section 90 of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG) to the consolidated financial statements and/

or the consolidated interim financial reports. In addition, the committee discussed the risk management, the internal 

control system, the internal audit system as well as the compliance management system in detail and ensured that the 

Supervisory Board was appropriately informed.

In its four ordinary meetings as well as two special meetings, the focal points of the discussions of the investment and 

capital expenditure committee in fiscal year 2013 were again the further business development of the investment 

business and the area of capital expenditure. With regard to activities abroad, the committee expressed its support for 

participation in the tender process for the new international Istanbul Airport and therefore prepared the corresponding 

resolution of the entire Supervisory Board in its first special meeting on April 26, 2013. In addition, as already mentioned, 

it agreed to submit an offer for the concession regarding Rio de Janeiro Airport based on the corresponding authorization 

by the Supervisory Board as part of its second special meeting on November 8, 2013. The existing Group companies, 

with Antalya, Lima, St. Petersburg as well as Varna and Burgas in particular focus, were also part of regular reporting. 

The development of national Group companies operating mainly at the Frankfurt site were also considered, however. 

Furthermore, the committee assisted with the capital expenditure at the Frankfurt am Main site and commented on the 

investment plan in the context of the 2014 Business Plan.

The human resources committee met four times in fiscal year 2013 and was regularly involved with the topics related  

to human resources within the Group. Alongside the development of the workforce, the topics of vocational training, 

current  wage  issues  in  the  Group  and,  on  federal  level,  the  restructuring  of  apron  supervision,  health  management, 

remuneration for senior managers in the Group and the social and employment regulations in the EU draft of ground 

handling services guidelines also formed part of the discussion. Through the “HR Top Executives” department, managed 

by Ms. Giesen since the start of the year 2013, further topics such as the remuneration system for senior executives, 

development of top executives, the concept of the reintegration of expatriate employees returning abroad as well as the 

establishment of lean management were also focal points of the proceedings.

The executive committee met five times during the reporting period. It dealt with Executive Board matters arising in 

fiscal year 2013 and, first of all, the determination of the performance-related remuneration components for the past  

fiscal year. In addition, the executive committee prepared the resolutions of the Supervisory Board on the reappointment 

of the Chairman of the Executive Board, Dr Schulte, as well as the adjustment of the Executive Board’s remuneration, in 

particular with regard to the most recent recommendation of the GCGC Government Commission.

The nomination committee formed for preparing for the new election of shareholder representatives met twice in the 

2013 fiscal year: once to prepare the candidate list for the AGM on May 31, 2013, in which all shareholder representatives 

cyclically stood for election, and once to provide advice regarding the succession of Mr. Stefan H. Lauer after his leaving 

at the end of 2013.

It was not necessary to convene the mediation committee in accordance with the German Co-Determination Act in 

fiscal year 2013.

Corporate Governance and statements of compliance 

The Executive Board and the Supervisory Board have addressed in detail the further developments of the GCGC that 

were presented by the Government Commission on May 13, 2013. 

In accordance with the recommendation recently included in the code, that the remuneration for Executive Board members 

should be indicated inclusive of upper amount limits for the variable remuneration elements (Section 4.2.3 (2), sentence 6  

of the GCGC), the incumbent Executive Board members agreed on December 17, 2013 to supplementary upper amount 

limits complying fully to the recommendation, in addition to those upper amount limits already in existence.

Group Management ReportTo our ShareholdersFraport Annual Report 20131 4

To our Shareholders / Report of the Supervisory Board

Fraport AG is therefore in alignment with the recommendations of the GCGC Government Commission and will continue 

to be in future.

In continuation of examining the efficiency of its activities from the previous year, the Supervisory Board commissioned 

an external advisor with the evaluation of its statutes and rules of internal procedure in fiscal year 2013, particularly with 

regard to the adequacy of the defined numerical limits that trigger approval or reporting obligations. Ultimately, it commis-

sioned the Corporate Governance work group (formed of its own members) to develop specific proposals to the plenum.

Further details on Corporate Governance as well as the text of the current statement of compliance pursuant to Section 161  

of the AktG made by the Executive Board and Supervisory Board on December 17, 2013 can be found in the chapter 

“Statement on Corporate Governance and Corporate Governance Report” starting on page 16. The Fraport code and 

the current and past statements of compliance can also be found on the Group’s website www.fraport.com under the 

section The Fraport Group.

Conflicts of interest and their treatment

In fiscal year 2013, there was no indication of the existence of potential conflicts of interest.

Annual and consolidated financial statements

PricewaterhouseCoopers Aktiengesellschaft Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft audited the annual financial statements of 

Fraport AG and the consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2013 as well as the management report and 

Group management report and issued unqualified auditor’s reports. The Supervisory Board issued the audit mandate  

on January 20, 2014 in accordance with the resolution passed by the AGM on May 31, 2013.

The annual financial statements and the management report were prepared and audited by the auditor in accordance 

with the regulations of the HGB applicable to large capital companies, the consolidated financial statements and the 

Group management report were prepared and audited by the auditor in accordance with IFRS as they apply in the EU. 

The consolidated financial statements and the Group management report meet the conditions for exemption from the 

preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with German law. The auditor established that an early 

risk warning system that meets the legal requirements and which makes it possible to identify at an early stage develop-

ments that may put the continued existence of the Company at risk was in place.

The documents mentioned as well as the proposal by the Executive Board for the utilization of profits have been sent to 

the Supervisory Board by the Executive Board without delay. The finance and audit committee of the Supervisory Board 

examined these documents extensively and the Supervisory Board reviewed them also personally. The audit reports of 

PricewaterhouseCoopers Aktiengesellschaft Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft and the financial statements were available 

to all the members of the Supervisory Board, and were comprehensively dealt with in the accounting meeting of the 

Supervisory Board in the presence of the auditors who reported on significant results of their audit, and were available 

to respond to additional questions and provide further information. The chairwoman of the finance and audit committee 

provided in the meeting a comprehensive report on the treatment of the annual financial statements and the consoli-

dated financial statements in the committee. The Supervisory Board approved the results of the annual audit. After the 

completion of the audit by the finance and audit committee and its own review, the Supervisory Board did not raise  

any objections. The Supervisory Board approved the annual financial statements prepared by the Executive Board; the 

annual financial statements were thus adopted. 

The Supervisory Board approved the proposal by the Executive Board to use the profit earmarked for distribution to pay 

a dividend of € 1.25 per no-par value share. 

The report prepared by the Executive Board on the relationships of Fraport AG with affiliated companies pursuant to 

Section 312 of the AktG was submitted to the Supervisory Board. The report concludes with the following statement by 

the Executive Board, which is also included in the management report:

Fraport Annual Report 2013To our Shareholders / Report of the Supervisory Board

15

“The Executive Board declares that under the circumstances known to us at the time the legal transactions were con-

ducted, Fraport AG received fair and adequate compensation for each and every legal transaction. During the reporting 

year, measures were neither taken nor omitted at the request of or in the interests of the State of Hesse and the City  

of Frankfurt am Main and their affiliated companies.”

The auditor reviewed the report on the relationships with affiliated companies and issued the following opinion:

“Based on our audit and the conclusions reached, we confirm that

1.  the disclosures made in the report are correct,

2.  the consideration paid by the company for the legal transactions referred to in the report was not unreasonably high.”

The auditor participated in the discussions with the Supervisory Board on March 21, 2014 on the report regarding the 

relationships with affiliated companies and was available to the Supervisory Board to provide additional information. After 

conducting its own review, the Supervisory Board agreed with the assessment by the auditor and raised no objections 

to the statement by the Executive Board regarding the relationships with affiliated companies provided at the end of the 

report and included in the management report.

Personnel particulars

The term of office of all members of the Supervisory Board ended at the end of the AGM on May 31, 2013.

In advance of the AGM, the following representatives of the employees were elected for the first time or reelected to the 

Supervisory Board in accordance with the specifications of the Co-Determination Act: Ms. Claudia Amier, Mr. Devrim Arslan,  

Mr. Hakan Cicek, Dr Roland Krieg, Mr. Mehmet Özdemir, Mr. Arno Prangenberg, Mr. Gerold Schaub, Mr. Hans-Jürgen

Mr. Jörg-Uwe Hahn, Mr. Lothar Klemm, Mr. Stefan H. Lauer, State Secretary Mr. Michael Odenwald, Mr. Karlheinz Weimar 

and Prof Dr-Ing Katja Windt.

In its constituent meeting on May 31, 2013, the Supervisory Board reelected Mr. Karlheinz Weimar as Chairman and  

Mr. Gerold Schaub as Vice Chairman.

In addition, the competent trade registry court of the City of Frankfurt am Main appointed Mr. Karl Ulrich Garnadt to 

the Supervisory Board on February 10, 2014. Mr. Garnadt assumes the mandate of Mr. Stefan H. Lauer, who left the 

Supervisory Board on December 31, 2013.

With regard to the Executive Board, on September 2, 2013, the Supervisory Board also agreed to the appointment of  

Dr Schulte as Chairman of the Executive Board with effect of September 1, 2014 for a further five years until August 31, 2019.  

The Supervisory Board also acknowledged Mr. Peter Schmitz’s intention not to extend his appointment as member of 

the Executive Board, which ends on August 31, 2014.

Looking back on the 2013 fiscal year, which was successful despite a difficult environment in the European aviation 

industry, the Supervisory Board thanks the Executive Board and the company’s employees for their dedicated commitment  

in the interests of the company.

To our Shareholders / Statement on Corporate Governance and Corporate Governance Report

Statement on Corporate Governance and Corporate Governance Report

In the following statement on corporate governance, pursuant to Section 289a of the German Commercial Code (HGB) and 

corporate governance report pursuant to Section 3.10 of the German Corporate Governance Code (GCGC), the Executive 

Board – simultaneously for the Supervisory Board and in summary (see also Section 3.10 of the GCGC) – reports on the 

company’s management and the corporate governance of Fraport.

The term “corporate governance” at Fraport means responsible corporate management and control, the objective of which is 

sustainable value creation. Good corporate governance has highest priority at Fraport. In this context, efficient collaboration 

between the Executive Board and the Supervisory Board is as important as protecting shareholders’ interests and maintaining 

open and transparent corporate communications. Fraport follows the national and international developments in this area 

and regularly modifies its own corporate code to the new standards of the GCGC.

In accordance with Section 317 (2) sentence 3 of the HGB, the following disclosures under Section 289a of the HGB were 

not included in the annual audit by the auditor.

Statement of compliance pursuant to Section 161 of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG)

On December 17, 2013, the Executive Board and the Supervisory Board of Fraport AG issued the following statement of 

compliance for the year 2013 in accordance with Section 161 of the AktG:

“The last Compliance Statement was issued on December 14, 2012. Since then, Fraport AG has complied with and will con-

tinue to comply with the recommendations made by the Government Commission on the German Corporate Governance 

Code in the code version dated May 15, 2012, and the amended version of May 13, 2013, with the following exception 

related to previous contractual agreements:

The May 13, 2013, amended version of the German Corporate Governance Code (GCGC) included a new recommendation 

that the amount of compensation paid to members of the Executive Board should be capped, both overall and for individual 

compensation components (Section 4.2.3 paragraph 2 sentence 6 of the GCGC). 

The service contracts for the incumbent Executive Board members already provided for compensation caps, which however 

did not fully meet the requirements of the new GCGC recommendation. On December 17, 2013, amendment agreements 

including compensation caps complying fully with the GCGC (Section 4.2.3 paragraph 2 sentence 6) were concluded with 

the incumbent members of Fraport AG’s Executive Board.”

The statement of compliance was promptly made permanently available to the shareholders on the company’s website at 

www.fraport.com in the section The Fraport Group.

The new recommendation with respect to the content and future format of the remuneration report (Section 4.2.5 (3) of 

the GCGC) relates to fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2013. Accordingly, Fraport will comply with the new recom-

mendation for the first time in fiscal year 2014.

GCGC recommendations

Fraport AG also voluntarily complies with the recommendations of the GCGC, solely with the following exceptions:

Transmission of the Annual General Meeting via modern communication media (Section 2.3.3 of the GCGC).

Fraport Annual Report 2013 
To our Shareholders / Statement on Corporate Governance and Corporate Governance Report

17

Primarily for security reasons and personal privacy, Fraport published only the speeches of the Chairman of the Supervisory 

Board and the Chairman of the Executive Board at the beginning of the 2013 Annual General Meeting on the Internet.

First-time appointment of members of the Executive Board (Section 5.1.2 (2) of the GCGC).

All Executive Board members were initially appointed for a term of five years, indicating the company’s willingness to enter 

into a long-term arrangement. Furthermore, an initial term of five years represents the common practice among experienced 

professionals and is therefore in line with the expectations of many potential Executive Board members.

Objectives for the composition of the Supervisory Board

Pursuant to Section 5.4.1 of the GCGC, the Supervisory Board set the following unchanged objective for its composition 

already in fiscal year 2010:

“Fraport AG is committed to forward-looking, equal opportunity cooperation across genders. It will continue to promote 

the employment of women according to qualification and skill at all levels and areas of responsibility in a targeted manner. 

This also applies to the Supervisory Board that aims to achieve a gender ratio in the coming years that reflects the gender 

ratio within the overall workforce.”

The ratio of female employees to the total number of employees at Fraport AG (single entity) is 19.3 %. The Supervisory Board 

of Fraport AG comprises 20 members, with the number of female members currently at four. The number of female members 

fell intially from five to three in 2012. Furthermore, the former lord mayor Dr Petra Roth resigned from the Supervisory Board 

in 2013. At the Supervisory Board elections in 2013, however, the mandates of Dr Margarete Haase and Prof Dr-Ing Katja 

Windt were confirmed, and Kathrin Dahnke was elected to the Supervisory Board as a new female member. Together with 

the employee representative Claudia Amier, who was also newly elected by employees in 2013, the ratio of women on the 

Supervisory Board is now 20 % and has therefore reached the target level.

In addition, there is an adequate number of members on the Supervisory Board who have international experience. When 

proposing candidates, the nomination committee and the Supervisory Board will continue to take the international experi-

ence of Supervisory Board candidates appropriately into account.

Furthermore, based on the new provision in Section 5.4.1 of the GCGC, the Supervisory Board decided in its meeting on 

December 14, 2012 that at least three independent shareholder representatives within the meaning of Section 5.4.2 of the 

GCGC should be members of the board.

With Kathrin Dahnke, Dr Margarete Haase and Prof Dr-Ing Katja Windt, there are already today at least three independent 

shareholder representatives on the Supervisory Board.

Notes on corporate governance practices

Beyond the statutory provisions, Fraport AG utilizes the following corporate governance practices:

Own corporate governance code

The Supervisory Board of Fraport AG has adopted its own corporate governance principles for the company. The Fraport 

Corporate Governance Code describes the fundamental principles for the management and control of the company as well 

as the responsible corporate governance that the company has undertaken to uphold. Furthermore, it clarifies the material 

rights of shareholders.

Group Management ReportTo our ShareholdersFraport Annual Report 2013 
1 8

To our Shareholders / Statement on Corporate Governance and Corporate Governance Report

The Fraport Corporate Governance Code is closely modeled after the GCGC and is regularly monitored and adapted where 

necessary in light of new legal regulations as well as revised national and international standards (last amended on December 17, 2013). 

It can be downloaded from the company website www.fraport.com in the section The Fraport Group.

Values-based compliance

At Fraport the issues of compliance and values management are brought together in a values-based compliance manage-

ment system. The values management system helps to prevent and monitor corruption and has been an integral component 

of employees’ and executives’ employment contracts at Fraport since 2005. In past years it has been phased in at national 

and international Group locations in which an interest of at least 50 % is held. An efficient information and reporting system 

is  an  important  tool  for  preventing  violations.  Consequently,  Fraport  AG  introduced  an  electronic  whistleblower  system  

(BKMS®-System) in 2009, which is also being rolled out in the Group companies on an ongoing basis. In addition, Fraport has 

had an ombudsperson who confidentially receives and legally examines tips on serious legal violations since December 1, 2011.  

The central task of the ombudsperson (an external lawyer) is to confidentially receive tips on corporate crimes and inadmis-

sible business practices and infringements that are detrimental to the company.

In February 2013, the Executive Board expanded this well-implemented values management system with the adoption of two 

codes of conduct, one for employees and one for suppliers. These codes of conduct enable Fraport to anchor the company 

ever more firmly in corporate governance in terms of its long-standing commitment to comply with internationally accredited 

standards such as the principles of the UN Global Compact, OECD Guidelines and ILO Core Labor Standards. The Fraport 

Policy forms the umbrella for these commitments and describes the values-related basis of the Fraport Group’s corporate action.

Structure and functioning of the management and control bodies

For Fraport AG, a responsible, transparent corporate governance and control structure is the central foundation for creating 

value and trust. In accordance with the provisions of law, Fraport AG is subject to a “dual governance system”, which is achieved 

through strict separation of the personnel in the management and control bodies (two-tier board). While the Executive Board 

manages the company, the Supervisory Board supervises the Executive Board. The members of the Executive Board and the 

Supervisory Board work closely together in the interest of the company.

The structure of the management and control bodies at Fraport AG is as follows:

Executive Board

The Executive Board of Fraport AG has comprised five members since January 1, 2013: the Chairman, Dr Stefan Schulte,  

Anke Giesen, Michael Müller, Peter Schmitz and Dr Matthias Zieschang. As management body, it conducts the business of the 

company. Within the framework of the stock corporation law, the Executive Board is bound by the company’s interests and 

corporate socio-political principles. Beyond this, the rules of procedure, which the Executive Board established for itself and 

presented to the Supervisory Board for approval, form the basis of its work. The schedule of responsibilities for the Executive 

Board, which governs the allocation of responsibilities, is also attached to the rules of procedure as an annex.

Fraport Annual Report 2013 
To our Shareholders / Statement on Corporate Governance and Corporate Governance Report

19

On this basis, the Executive Board reports to the Supervisory Board in a regular, timely and comprehensive manner concerning 

all relevant matters of business development, corporate strategy and possible risks. In addition, the Executive Board must have 

the prior approval of the Supervisory Board for several matters, particularly for the assumption of obligations above a value 

of € 5 million, to the extend such is not provided for in a business plan approved by the Supervisory Board. The length of 

the appointment of Executive Board members is geared toward the long-term and is – as already stated – as a rule five years.  

Remuneration  of  the  Executive  Board  comprises  fixed  and  performance-related  components.  A  detailed  schedule  of  the 

remuneration is provided in the remuneration report in the Group management report.

The Executive Board usually meets weekly and constitutes a quorum if at least half of its members participate in the meeting. 

Resolutions are adopted by a simple majority of all the participating members of the Executive Board. In the case of a tie 

vote, the vote of the chairman is deciding.

Supervisory Board

The Supervisory Board of Fraport AG supervises the activities of the Executive Board. It is composed of an equal number of 

representatives of shareholders and employees and comprises 20 members. The ten shareholder representatives are elected 

by the AGM and the ten representatives of the employees are elected by the employees in accordance with the provisions 

of the German Co-Determination Act (MitbestG) for five years. The Supervisory Board has created rules of procedure, under 

which it has a quorum if – on the basis of a proper notice of meeting – at least half of its members participate in the voting in 

person or through submission of written votes. Resolutions are adopted with a simple majority unless otherwise mandated by 

law. In the event of a tie vote, the chairman of the Supervisory Board, who must be from among the shareholder representa-

tives, is entitled to a second vote. Beyond that, the rules of procedure regulate, in particular, the appointment and powers 

of committees of the Supervisory Board.

As a rule, the Supervisory Board meets four times a year (2013: seven times) and monitors the efficiency of its activities on a 

regular basis with respect to both their effectiveness and their appropriateness in view of new challenges. In its Report of the 

Supervisory Board, the Supervisory Board reviews its activities in the past fiscal year on an annual basis. 

A detailed schedule of its remuneration is included in the remuneration report in the Group management report.

At the time of the adoption of the annual financial statements, the Supervisory Board was comprised as follows:

Shareholders and AGM

The shareholders of Fraport AG exercise their rights in the company at the AGM and exercise their right to speak and to vote 

there. With sufficient time prior to the meeting, the shareholders are informed of business developments in the past year and 

the company’s forecasts through the management report. During the year, the shareholders are provided with comprehensive 

and timely information about current business developments through interim reports and other company publications on 

its website. The AGM of Fraport AG is held each year in the first six months of the fiscal year and makes decisions concerning 

the tasks assigned to it by law, such as the appropriation of profits, election and approval of the actions of the members of 

the Supervisory Board and approval of the actions of the Executive Board, the selection of the external auditor, amendments 

to the company statutes, and other tasks. The shareholders can exercise their right to vote in person or can authorize third 

parties to exercise their right to vote. 

Remuneration of the Executive Board and the Supervisory Board

The disclosures on the essential features of the remuneration system as well as the disclosures on the remuneration of the 

Executive Board and the Supervisory Board can be found in a separate remuneration report. In compliance with Section 4.2.5 

and Section 5.4.6 (3) of the GCGC, this is part of the Group management report.  

Acquisition or disposal of shares of the company

Pursuant to Section 15a of the WpHG, management and persons closely related thereto are obliged by law to disclose the 

acquisition or disposal of shares of Fraport AG or any financial instruments related thereto, if the value of the transactions 

undertaken exceeds the sum of € 5,000 within one calendar year. The notifications in this respect are disclosed by Fraport AG 

without delay.

Shareholdings of the bodies

The total shareholdings of all members of the Executive Board and Supervisory Board are less than 1 % of the total number 

of shares issued by Fraport.

Retail & Real Estate

About 300 businesses...

It does not matter whether we are talking about a coffee bar or a high-end boutique, these days an airport without 
shopping and rest areas is unthinkable. Both Frankfurt terminals are currently home to about 300 businesses and 
food service facilities, including 22 duty free and travel value shops. Fraport does not operate its own shops, but 
develops and markets the spaces and optimizes the offer of concepts and brands. The key figure “net retail revenue 
per passenger” is therefore not the average amount spent by a passenger at Frankfurt, but the lease revenue earned 
by Fraport on these spaces. In 2013 this rose from 3.32 Euros to 3.60 Euros.

...with first-class logistics

It is not only passengers who have to be subjected to a security control before their departure, this also applies 
to goods sold in the security area. As a result, for example the around 40,000 items on sale in the duty free and 
travel value shops are already checked at the main warehouse of the operator “Gebr. Heinemann” in Hamburg. 
Once they have been checked, these items are transported along the logistics chain to a temporary storage in 
Frankfurt and delivered from there underground to the shops at the airport. Thus, more than 100 roll containers 
are filled and emptied every day. Up to 200 roll containers are required on busy days.

The expansion program launched by the Executive Board in the 2009 

fiscal year with start of construction work on Runway Northwest and the 

FRA North modernization program, that was being progressed almost 

in parallel, continue to help maintain and strengthen the international 

competitive position of the site in the future. The programs, which 

mainly include Runway Northwest, Pier A-Plus, the A380 moderniza-

tion measures, the CD-Pier and the planned Terminal 3, secure airport 

capacities and quality in the long-term in order to give the Frankfurt site 

a successful, lasting competitive edge. The development of CargoCity 

North and South, which has also started, will significantly strengthen 

the competitive position in the cargo segment (air freight and air mail) 

over the long-term.

The  competitive  situation  at  the  very  tourist-centered  airports  in 

Antalya, Varna and Burgas differs from that of the Frankfurt site. The 

key driver for the development at these sites is the attractiveness of 

the tourist regions with regard to quality and price level, among other 

things. With 26.7 million passengers, the airport in Antalya was the 

second largest passenger airport in Turkey in the past fiscal year behind 

Atatürk Airport in Istanbul, and the largest tourist airport in the Mediter-

ranean region, ahead of Palma de Mallorca. The airports in Burgas and 

Varna, with 2.5 million and 1.3 million passengers respectively, were the 

second and third largest passenger airports in Bulgaria and the largest 

airports in the country in the Black Sea region. With the opening of 

the terminal in Varna in August 2013 and in Burgas in December 2013, 

all three tourist sites have installed sufficient capacity since the end of 

the past fiscal year to be able to serve the growth that is expected in

In harmony with the forecasted growth in air traffic, Fraport is also ex-

panding the airport infrastructure at the Group sites outside Frankfurt. 

In this context, Fraport opened a new terminal at Varna Airport and 

a new terminal at Burgas Airport in the past fiscal year. On the one 

hand, the two terminals expand local passenger capacities and, on 

the other hand, provide additional retail space to strengthen the retail 

business. Opening these terminals means both sites are prepared for 

the anticipated future growth, so that no additional capacity-related 

capital expenditure is required in Varna or Burgas in the medium-term.

Due to a continued solid supply of liquidity, the medium- to long-

term oriented repayment profile as well as the positive development 

of free cash flow, the Executive Board again characterizes the financial 

position of the Fraport Group as stable at the end of fiscal year 2013. 

The Executive Board therefore assesses the business development in 

2013 as favorable overall.

areas. The higher depreciation, amortization and interest expenses as 

a result of the terminal inaugurations will initially offset the positive 

EBITDA effect expected in 2014 from the expansion.

Terminal opened at St. Petersburg Airport

Together with its partners in the Northern Capital Gateway consortium, 

Fraport started operations at the new terminal at Pulkovo Airport in  

St. Petersburg in December 2013. As a result, the airport now has an  

annual capacity of more than 17 million passengers and offers its guests, 

in addition to a significantly improved passenger experience, more retail 

and food and beverage shops located in an area covering 13,500 m².  

The necessary conditions are now in place for future passenger and 

retail growth of the Group company. In addition to positive operating 

effects, the terminal inauguration will also lead to higher depreciation, 

amortization and interest expenses for the Group company. Overall, 

therefore, the Group company anticipates a temporary negative effect 

on earnings from the terminal opening. In addition to the construction

Statement of cash flows

At €574.8 million, cash flow from operating activities (operating 
cash flow) for the past fiscal year was up by €21.8 million compared 
with the previous year (+3.9 %). This increase is primarily due to the 

fact that less income tax was paid.

The lower cash outflow led to a positive free cash flow of €73.1 million. 

Compared with the previous year, this represented an improvement 

of €235.5 million (previous year: – €162.4 million). 

Including cash outflows for investments in cash deposits and securities, 

the cash flow used in investing activities in the past fiscal year was 

Cash flow used in investing activities without investments in 

€280.0 million (previous year: €779.2 million).

cash  deposits  and  securities  decreased  from  €736.2  million  to 

€492.8 million, primarily due to significantly lower capital expenditure 

for property, plant and equipment.

added of €1.3 million (previous year: €6.6 million). The value added

of the Aviation segment declined from – €114.7 million to – €121.7 mil-

lion. This was due mainly to the significant increase in Fraport assets, 

and a resulting increase in the cost of capital before taxes, which was 

mainly related to the utilization of Pier A-Plus for an entire year for the 

first time. The value added of the Ground Handling segment declined 

from – €53.3 million to – €57.8 million due to the decline in EBIT de-

velopment. There was a decrease in the value added by the External

beginning on page 29) global satisfaction of passengers at the Frankfurt 

site matched the previous year’s level of 80 %, with rising passenger

exists for improvement. At the Antalya site, customer satisfaction was

in the second half of 2013. In addition, the number of employees in 

the Group company FraCareServices also increased by 42 employees 

due  to  an  increase  in  client  care  as  well  as  the  fact  that  Pier  A-Plus 

was  operated  for  an  entire  year  for  the  first  time.  The  reduction  in 

headcount at Fraport AG (– 310 employees) was attributable, among 

other things, to the shifting of employees to the Group companies 

FRA - Vorfeldkontrolle and FRA - Vorfeldaufsicht. As of July 1, 2013, the 

employees of the Group company FRA - Vorfeldaufsicht were reinte-

grated into Fraport AG. Outside Germany, the headcount decreased, 

in particular at the Group companies Lima (– 54 employees) and Twin

Investor Relations (IR)

In the 2013 fiscal year, Fraport’s IR activities again focused on proactive 

communication with investors and analysts. In more than 300 one-on-

ones, the strategy and the current and forecasted business develop-

ment of the Fraport Group were explained to interested parties. The 

focus remained on traffic developments at the Group sites as well as 

the  planning  of  Terminal  3  at  the  Frankfurt  site.  Other  focal  points 

were Group capital expenditure, the development of free cash flow, 

the impact on earnings connected to the at equity accounting of the 

Group company Antalya from the 2014 fiscal year onwards and poten-

tial acquisition projects in the External Activities & Services segment.

or only a small amount, such as the conclusion of service contracts 

(management contracts). Fraport is also active in countries, such as 

China and Russia, which can basically hold higher risks for investors 

than is the case for capital expenditure in Germany. These risks typi-

cally include country, market and foreign exchange risks, which can 

lead to a significant impairment of the future earnings outlook, right 

up to a total loss of the investment. 

For reasons of bidding strategy, as well as risk minimization, Fraport 

often works in cooperation with a local partner who has experience 

with the relevant typical national regulations and customs. Within the 

context of major capital expenditure, Fraport aims for project financing 

that allows no recourse or only limited recourse to Fraport AG as the 

capital provider. This type of project financing, which are also referred 

to as non-recourse or limited-recourse, are used here for risk reduction.

About 27,500,000 baggage items...

Almost every passenger travels with a suitcase. If Fraport takes only departing and transferring passengers into 
consideration, this amounted to about 27,500,000 baggage items at Frankfurt in 2013. Once passengers have 
checked in their baggage at one of the some 420 check-in desks or baggage drop-off machines, or transfer baggage 
has been sent to the baggage conveyor system, the suitcases are screened completely automatically and transported 
to the departure loading point via the 81-kilometer baggage conveyor system. Baggage already checked in the 
evening before or belonging to passengers who do not have an immediate connecting flight is stored temporarily 
in the early bag storage area.

Once the suitcases and bags to be loaded have reached the departure loading point near the respective aircraft 
positions,  they  are  removed  from  the  baggage  containers  by  Fraport  employees.  Thereby  the  employees  sort 
first and priority class baggage, as well as transfer baggage and baggage of passengers, who have reached their  
destination after the flight, into separate loading units. Fraport loads about 75 baggage items a minute, calculated 
on the basis of an average day and the operating times of the airport. On busy days during the summer months, 
the figure increases to about 100.

The additions to subsidiaries relate to the acquisition of an additional 90 % of the shares in Afriport S.A. and its sub-

sidiary, Daport S.A., which in future will operate Dakar Airport in Senegal. The acquisition and inclusion in the Group 

of the capital shares of the companies took place in two steps: as at January 8, 2013, 50 % had been acquired and as 

at July 16, 2013, the remaining 40 % had been acquired. The total purchase price of €90 thousand equated to the fair 

value of the shares. The inclusion of the companies that are still inactive into the Fraport Group has no material impact 

on the consolidated financial statements. 

The disposal in the consolidation of the joint ventures relates to the merger, which took place in December 2013, of  

IC  Ictas  Uluslararasi  Insaat  Sanayi  ve  Ticaret  Anonim  Sirketi,  Ankara/Turkey,  into  Fraport  IC  Ictas  Havalimani  Isletme  

Anonim Sirketi, Antalya/Turkey. The Group-internal process has no impact on the consolidated financial statements.

The companies GCS Gesellschaft für Cleaning Service mbH & Co. Airport Frankfurt/Main KG, Frankfurt am Main, and 

FSG Flughafen-Service GmbH, Frankfurt am Main, in which Fraport AG holds 40 % and 33.33 %, respectively, have been 

included in the consolidated financial statements as affiliated companies. Due to contractual stipulations, Fraport AG 

has actual control over these companies.

Group Notes / Notes to the Consolidation and Accounting Policies

Fraport AG holds a 52 % capital share of the company N*ICE Aircraft Services & Support GmbH, Frankfurt am Main. 

The company is only included in the consolidated financial statements on a proportionate basis of 52 % due to joint 

management and control, which were contractually agreed. 

A complete list of shareholdings for the Fraport Group pursuant to Section 313 (2) of the HGB is found at the end 

of the Group notes.

Consolidation principles

Capital consolidation of all business combinations uses the purchase method. 

All identifiable acquired assets and the acquired liabilities, including contingent liabilities, are recorded at fair value 

on the acquisition date. The acquisition costs for corporate acquisitions correspond to the fair value of the transferred 

assets and liabilities. Incidental acquisition costs are recorded as expenses as they are incurred. Conditional purchase 

price payments are recorded at fair value on the acquisition date. Subsequent changes in the fair value of a conditional 

consideration which is deemed to be an asset or a liability will be recognized either through profit or loss or as a change 

in other income. Non-controlling interests are valued at fair value or the corresponding proportion of the identifiable 

net assets of the acquired company. In the case of step-by-step company acquisitions, the shares already held in the 

acquired company are revalued through profit or loss at fair value on the date that control is obtained.

Goodwill is recorded insofar as the sum of the consideration that is transferred, the amount of all non-controlling interests 

in the acquired company and an equity that was previously held and revalued on the acquisition date is higher than the 

balance of the acquired and revalued identifiable assets and the revalued acquired liabilities. If the comparison results in 

a lower amount, a gain on acquisition at a price below the fair value is recorded after the assigned values are reviewed.

Fraport has included its share of the assets, liabilities and shareholders’ equity (after consolidation) and the income and 

expense items of joint ventures using proportionate consolidation in the consolidated financial statements.

Associated companies are in the consolidated financial statements accounted for using the equity method. Initial meas-

urements of associated companies are carried out at fair value at the time of acquisition, similarly to capital consolidation 

for subsidiaries and joint ventures. Subsequent changes in the shareholders’ equity of the associated companies and 

the follow-up of the difference from initial valuation change the amount accounted for at equity.

Inter-company profits and losses on trade accounts payable between companies included in the consolidated financial 

statements were minimal. Elimination was waived based on immateriality, since the impact on the asset and earnings 

position of the Group would have been negligible.

Loans, receivables and liabilities, contingencies and other financial commitments between companies included in 

the consolidated financial statements, internal expenses and income as well as income from Group investments are 

eliminated.

Currency translation

Annual financial statements of companies outside Germany denominated in foreign currencies are translated on the 

basis  of  the  functional  currency  concept  in  accordance  with  IAS  21.  The  assets  and  liabilities  of  the  consolidated 

companies are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date and equity at the historical exchange rate, 

whereas simplifying the expenses and income are translated at annual average exchange rates, since the companies 

are financially, economically and organizationally independent. Foreign currency translation differences are included 

directly in equity without affecting profit or loss.

The following material exchange rates were used for the currency translation:

Accounting principles

Uniform accounting measurement policies

The financial statements of the Fraport Group are based on accounting and measurement policies that are applied 

consistently throughout the Group. 

The consolidated financial statements are drafted on the basis of historic acquisition and production costs, with the 

exception of the fair value of financial assets available for sale and the recognition through profit and loss of the fair 

value of original and derivative financial instruments.

Recognition of income and expenses

Revenue and other income are recognized in accordance with IAS 18 when the goods have been delivered or the 

service rendered, when it is reasonably probable that an economic benefit will be received and when this benefit 

can be quantified reliably. In addition, the significant opportunities and risks must have been transferred to the buyer.

Income and expenses from the same transactions and/or events are recognized in the same period.

Group Notes / Notes to the Consolidation and Accounting Policies

Traffic charges for the provision of the airport infrastructure are divided into those subject to regulation (according to 

Section 19b (1) of the German Air Traffic Act [LuftVG]), which include, among others, landing and take-off charges, 

parking charges, passenger and security charges and other charges not subject to regulation, such as ground handling 

services and ground handling infrastructure. 

In addition, the Fraport Group mainly generates revenue from revenue-based payments, renting, parking and security 

services.

In the context of the airport operating projects in other countries (see also note 49), income and expenses from the 

operation of airport infrastructure and the provision of construction and expansion services are generated.

Revenue from the operation of airport infrastructure is recognized in accordance with IAS 18 when the services have 

been rendered, when it is reasonably probable that an economic benefit will be received and when this benefit can 

be quantified reliably. 

Income and expenses from the provision of construction and expansion services are recorded pursuant to IAS 11. The 

order costs are expensed as incurred according to IAS 11.32, since the result of production orders cannot be estimated 

reliably. Proceeds from production are recorded in the amount of the incurred order costs expected to be recovered.

Judgment and uncertainty of estimates

The presentation of the asset, financial and earnings position in the consolidated financial statements depends on  

accounting and valuation methods as well as assumptions and estimates. Actual amounts may deviate from the estimates. 

The listed material estimates as well as the uncertainties associated with the accounting and valuation methods selected 

are essential in order to understand the underlying risks of financial reporting as well as the impacts these estimates, 

assumptions and uncertainties may have on the consolidated financial statements. 

These assumptions and estimates relate, among other things, to accounting policies and the measurement of provi-

sions. Material valuation parameters for the measurement of provisions for pensions and similar obligations are the 

discount factor as well as trend factors (see also note 37). 

When an acquired company is consolidated for the first time, all identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities 

are to be recognized at their fair value at the time of acquisition. One of the main estimates relates to the determina-

tion of the fair value of these assets and liabilities at the time of acquisition. The measurement is usually based on 

independent expert reports. Marketable assets are recognized at market or stock exchange prices. If intangible assets 

are identified, the fair value is usually measured by an independent external expert using appropriate measurement 

methods which are primarily based on future expected cash flows. These measurements are considerably influenced 

by assumptions about the developments of future cash flows as well as the applied discount rates.

The impairment test for goodwill and other assets within the scope of IAS 36 is based on assumptions about future 

developments. Fraport AG carries out these tests annually as well as when there are reasons to believe that goodwill 

has been impaired. In the case of cash generating units, the recoverable amount is determined. This corresponds to the 

higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. The measurement of the value in use includes adjustments and 

estimates regarding the forecasting and discounting of future cash flows. The underlying assumptions could change 

on account of unforeseeable events and may therefore impact the asset, financial and earnings positions.

Fraport Annual Report 2013Group Notes / Notes to the Consolidation and Accounting Policies

107

In connection with the write-down on items of property, plant and equipment in the Ground Handling segment carried 

out in previous years (in the amount of € 20.0 million), it may be possible for the underlying assumptions to change in 

the future, which would make it necessary to considerably adjust the carrying amounts of these assets.

Deferred tax assets are recognized if it is probable that future tax benefits can be realized. The actual tax earnings 

situation in future fiscal years and therefore the actual usability of deferred tax assets could differ from the forecasts at 

the time the deferred tax assets are recognized.

In addition, material estimates and assumptions are each presented in relation to the accounting and valuation methods 

for specific end-of-year items listed subsequently.

Goodwill

After the initial recognition of goodwill acquired in the course of a business merger (see also note 3), it is measured 

at acquisition costs less any accumulated impairment losses. 

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in the course of a business merger is assigned to the cash 

generating units of the Group on the acquisition date. The Group companies within the Fraport Group constitute inde-

pendent cash generating units to which goodwill is allocated. Goodwill impairment testing is performed by comparing 

the recoverable amount of a cash generating unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. The recoverable amount 

corresponds to the higher amount of the fair value less costs to sell and the value in use. Since net selling prices for 

the cash generating units in the Fraport Group cannot be reliably determined, the value in use is based on a company 

valuation model (discounted cash flow method). All goodwill items are tested for impairment at least once a year in 

accordance with IAS 36.88 – 99. In case of an impairment, an impairment loss is recognized. Goodwill is not written 

up when the reasons for impairment are eliminated. Goodwill is not subject to regular depreciation and amortization.

Investments in airport operating projects

To allow for better transparency, investments in airport operating projects are presented separately. These consist of 

concessions for the operations of the airports in Varna and Burgas (Bulgaria), Lima (Peru) and Antalya (Turkey) acquired 

within the scope of service concession agreements (see also note 49). The service concession agreements for the 

airport and/or terminal operating projects fall under IFRIC 12.17 and are recognized according to the intangible asset 

model, since Fraport receives the right in each case to charge airport users a charge in exchange for the obligation to 

pay concession fees and provide construction and expansion services. The contractual obligations to pay concession 

fees that are not variable but are fixed in the amount based on the contract are recorded as financial liabilities. These 

liabilities are initially recognized at fair value using a risk-adjusted discount rate. Airport operation rights received as 

consideration are recorded as intangible assets at the same amount and reported under investments in airport operat-

ing projects. The rights received as consideration for construction and expansion services are recognized at the cost 

of productions for the period in which the production costs are incurred. Income and expenses from construction and 

expansion services are generally recorded pursuant to IFRIC 12.14 and in accordance with IAS 11. 

The recognized financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. 

Subsequent measurement of the capitalized rights is at the cost of acquisition or production less cumulative regular 

depreciation and amortization over the term of the concessions. 

Where necessary, impairment losses are recognized in accordance with IAS 36.

Group Notes / Notes to the Consolidation and Accounting Policies

Intangible assets

Acquired intangible assets (IAS 38) are recognized at acquisition cost. Their useful life is limited. They are amortized 

over  their  useful  lives  using  straight-line  depreciation  and  amortization.  Where  necessary,  impairment  losses  are  

recognized in accordance with IAS 36. If the recoverable amount of the asset later exceeds the carrying amount after an 

impairment loss has been recognized, the asset is written up to a maximum of the recoverable amount. The write-up  

through profit or loss is limited to the amortized carrying amount that would have resulted if no impairment loss had 

been recognized in the past.

Property, plant and equipment

Property,  plant  and  equipment  (IAS  16)  are  recognized  at  the  cost  of  acquisition  or  production  less  straight-line 

depreciation and amortization and any impairment losses according to IAS 36, where applicable. If the recoverable 

amount of the asset later exceeds the carrying amount after an impairment loss has been recognized pursuant to IAS 36,  

the asset is written up to a maximum of the recoverable amount. The write-up through profit or loss is limited to 

the amortized carrying amount that would have resulted if no impairment losses had been recognized in the past.  

Subsequent acquisition costs are capitalized. Production costs essentially include all direct costs including appropri-

ate overheads. Borrowing costs of property, plant and equipment that constitute qualifying assets are recognized  

(see “borrowing costs”).

Each part of an item of property, plant and equipment with an acquisition cost that is significant in relation to the total 

value of the item is measured and depreciated separately with regard to its useful life and the appropriate deprecia-

tion method.

Government grants and third-party grants related to assets are included in liabilities and are released straight-line over 

the useful life of the asset for which the grant has been given. Grants related to income are included as other operating 

income through profit or loss (IAS 20).

Investment property

Investment property (IAS 40) includes property held to earn long-term lease revenue or capital appreciation, which 

is not owner-occupied; it also consists of land held for a currently undetermined future use.

If land as yet held for an undetermined use is now defined as being held for sale and development has begun, it is 

transferred to inventories; if it is intended for owner-occupation, it is transferred to property, plant and equipment.

Investment property is measured initially at the cost of acquisition or production. Subsequent measurement is at the cost 

of acquisition or production less regular straight-line depreciation and amortization and impairment losses according 

to IAS 36, where applicable. Borrowing costs of investment properties that constitute qualifying assets are recognized  

(see “borrowing costs”).

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs (IAS 23) that relate to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are required to 

be capitalized as part of the acquisition/production cost of such assets. Due to the scope of Fraport’s capital expendi-

ture, qualifying assets are determined on the basis of planned investment measures. If the volume of the planned 

measures exceeds €25 million and if the construction period is more than one year, all assets produced as part of the 

measure are recognized as qualifying assets. Fraport includes interest, financing charges in respect to finance leases 

and currency differences in borrowing costs to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs.

Table 51

The expected useful life of investment property corresponds to the expected useful life of the property which is part 

of property, plant and equipment.

Impairment losses according to IAS 36

Impairment losses on assets are recognized according to IAS 36. Assets are tested for impairment in case of indica-

tions of an impairment loss. An impairment loss is recognized for assets when the recoverable amount of the asset has 

fallen below its carrying amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and its 

value in use. The value in use is the present value of the estimated future cash inflows and outflows from the use and 

subsequent disposal of the asset.

Regardless of indicators for possible impairment losses, assets are subject to an annual impairment test pursuant to IAS 36.

Since it is not generally possible in the Fraport Group to allocate cash flows to individual assets, so-called cash generating  

units  are  recognized.  A  cash  generating  unit  is  defined  as  the  smallest  identifiable  group  of  assets  that  generates 

seperate cash inflows and outflows.

Leasing

Agreements that transfer the right to use a specific asset for a specified period of time in exchange for compensation 

are deemed to be leases. Fraport is both a lessor and a lessee. A decision as to whether economic ownership is assigned 

to the lessor (operate lease) or the lessee (finance lease) is made based on which party bears the opportunities and 

risks associated with the respective leased asset.

Group Notes / Notes to the Consolidation and Accounting Policies

Finance lease

If economic ownership can be attributed to the Fraport Group as lessee, the lease is capitalized at the inception of the 

lease at the present value of the minimum lease payments plus any incidental costs that are paid or at the fair value of 

the lease object if this value is lower. This asset is depreciated straight-line over its useful life or the lease term, if this 

is shorter. Impairment losses are recorded against the carrying amount of the capitalized leased asset. If economic 

ownership cannot be attributed to the Fraport Group as the lessor, a receivable equivalent to the present value of the 

lease payments is recognized.

Operate lease

If economic ownership of the leased assets remains with the lessor and Fraport AG assumes the role of the lessee, 

lease payments are considered on a linear basis over the lease term. If Fraport assumes the role of the lessor, leased 

assets are capitalized at the cost of acquisition or production and amortized accordingly. Lease revenue is generally 

recognized on a linear basis over the lease term.

Investments in associated companies

Investments in associated companies are recognized at the pro rata share of equity, including goodwill.

Other financial assets

Other financial assets include securities, loans with a remaining maturity of more than one year and other investments. 

Other financial assets are recognized at fair value on the settlement date, i.e. at the time the asset is created or trans-

ferred plus transaction costs. Non-current low interest or interest-free loans are recognized at their present value. The 

securities virtually exclusively constitute debt instruments.

The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on the respective category according to IAS 39 (see also 

note 40).

Loans are assigned to the “loans and receivables” category. These financial instruments are measured at amortized 

costs using the effective interest method.

Other investments are assigned to the “available for sale” category on the balance sheet date. Due to a lack of an 

active market, they are generally measured at acquisition cost. They will be assigned at fair values as long as they can 

be reliably calculated and the gains or losses are included directly in equity without affecting profit or loss.

Other securities are assigned to the “available for sale” category. Subsequent measurement is at fair value, taking into 

account the effective interest method and changes in value are included directly in equity without affecting profit or loss.

Inventories

Inventories include work-in-process, raw materials, consumables and supplies and property held for sale within the 

normal operating cycle.

Work-in-process and raw materials, consumables and supplies are measured at the lower of acquisition or production 

cost or net realizable value. Acquisition or production costs are generally calculated using the average cost method. 

Production costs include direct costs and adequate overheads.

Property held for sale within the ordinary course of business is also measured at the lower of acquisition or production 

cost or net realizable value. 

Fraport Annual Report 2013Group Notes / Notes to the Consolidation and Accounting Policies

111

The subsequent production cost required for land development is estimated for the entire marketable land area on 

the basis of specific cost unit rates for individual development measures. Depending on the land sales recognized in 

the respective reporting year, the development costs are allocated on a pro rata basis to the remaining land area to 

be sold. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price less the costs incurred until the time of sale, discounted 

over the planned selling period. 

The opinion of an external expert regarding the fair value of the land being sold, as well as information about previous 

land sales, forms the basis for the calculation of the estimated selling price.

Where the inventories constitute qualifying assets (see “borrowing costs”), the borrowing costs are recognized.

If a write-down made in previous periods is no longer necessary, a write-up is recognized (IAS 2).

Receivables and other assets

Receivables and other assets mainly consist of trade accounts receivable, receivables from banks, other receivables, 

derivatives and marketable short-term securities. These assets are initially recognized at aqcuistion cost, which is 

usually the same as fair value, on the settlement date, i.e. at the time the asset is created or economic ownership is 

transferred. Non-current low interest or non-interest bearing receivables are recognized at their present value at the 

time of origination or acquisition.

Trade accounts receivable, receivables from banks and all other financial receivables with fixed or ascertainable payments 

that are not listed in an active market are assigned to the “loans and receivables” category. Subsequent measurement 

is carried out at amortized cost, based on the effective interest method. Receivables in foreign currencies are translated 

at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date.

Securities are allocated to the “available for sale” category. The financial debt instruments are measured at fair value,  

according to the effective interest method. Changes of value are included directly in equity without affecting profit or loss.

Impairment losses of financial assets

On each balance sheet date, the carrying amounts of financial assets which are not measured at fair value through 

profit or loss are assessed to see whether there is any objective evidence (such as considerable financial difficulties of 

the debtor, high probability of insolvency proceedings against the debtor, a permanent decline of the fair value below 

amortized cost) that the asset may be impaired. 

In general, impairment losses are recognized by directly reducing the carrying amount of the receivable or the financial 

asset. 

The impairment loss of trade accounts receivable is recognized in an item-by-item allowance account through profit 

or loss. If there is an indication in subsequent periods that the reasons for an impairment loss no longer exist, a write-

up is recognized through profit or loss. If a receivable already impaired is designated as non-recoverable, the asset is 

derecognized.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents basically include cash, cash accounts and short-term cash assets with banks maturing in three 

months or less. Cash and cash equivalents with a maturity of more than three months from the time of acquisition  

are recorded in this item if their values do not fluctuate significantly and they can be liquidated at any time without 

deduction for risk. Cash and cash equivalents are recognized at nominal value. Cash in foreign currencies is translated 

at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date.

Group Notes / Notes to the Consolidation and Accounting Policies

Treasury shares

Repurchased treasury shares are deducted from the issued capital and the capital reserve (IAS 32).

Recognition of income taxes

Income taxes are recognized using the liability method according to IAS 12. All tax expenses and refunds directly 

related to income are recorded as income taxes. These also include penalties and interest on arrears from the date it 

appears probable that a reduction of taxes will be denied.

Current taxes are recognized on the date when the liability for income taxes is incurred.

Deferred taxes are accounted according to IAS 12 using the liability method based on temporary differences on a case 

by case basis. Deferred taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the IFRS and tax financial positions of the 

single entities and differences arising from unused loss carry-forwards and consolidation transactions. The recognition  

of goodwill that is not deductible for tax purposes does not lead to deferred taxes.

If the carrying amount of an asset in the IFRS financial position exceeds its tax base (e.g. non-current assets depreciated 

on a linear basis) and if the difference is temporary, a deferred tax liability is recognized. According to the IFRS deferred 

tax assets are recognized for financial position differences and for unused tax loss carry-forwards, to the extent that it is 

probable that taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax losses and unused tax credits can be utilized.

Deferred taxes are calculated at future tax rates insofar as these have already been legally established and/or the legis-

lative process is largely completed. Changes in deferred taxes on the financial position generally lead to deferred tax 

income or expense. When transactions resulting in a change to deferred taxes are recorded directly in equity without 

affecting profit or loss, the change to deferred taxes is also included directly in equity without affecting profit or loss.

Provisions for pensions and similar obligations

The provisions for pensions relate to defined benefit plans and have been calculated in accordance with IAS 19 under 

the application of actuarial methods and an interest rate of 3.60 % (previous year: 3.17 %). For the calculation of the 

interest expense from the defined benefit plans and the income from plan assets, the same interest rate is used as a 

basis. In comparison to the previous year, changes occurred to the standard due to IAS 19 (revised 2011). Net interest 

expense/income was introduced, which prescribes the use of the same interest rate for the interest expense and for 

income from plan assets. At Fraport, the same interest rate was already used for calculating the interest expense and 

income from plan assets in previous years.

Remeasurements, which result from the change of the discount factor or from the difference between actual and com-

puted income from plan assets, for example, are recognized in other comprehensive income (OCI) as non-reclassifiable. 

The present value of the defined benefit obligation (DBO) is calculated annually by an independent actuary using the 

projected unit credit method. The calculation takes place by discounting the future estimated cash outflows with the 

interest rate from industry bonds of the highest creditworthiness. The industry bonds are denominated in the currency 

of the distribution amounts and show the relevant maturities of the pension liabilities. If benefit claims from the defined 

benefit plans are covered by plan assets in the form of reinsurance, the fair value of the plan assets is netted with the 

DBO. Benefit claims that are not covered by plan assets are recognized as a pension obligation.

Fraport Annual Report 2013Group Notes / Notes to the Consolidation and Accounting Policies

113

As in the previous year, the calculations did not include salary increases for the active members of the Executive Board. 

For former members of the Executive Board pensions are valued in accordance of the “Gesetz über die Anpassung 

von Dienst- und Versorgungsbezügen in Bund und Ländern 2003/2004” (BBVAnpG). The calculation of provisions for 

pensions was based on the 2005G mortality tables of Professor Heubeck.

The service cost and net interest are recognized in personnel expense. 

With regard to the description of the various plans, reference is made to note 37 and note 52.

Provisions for taxes

Provisions for current taxes are recognized for tax expected to be payable in the reporting year and/or previous years 

taking into account anticipated risks.

Other provisions

Other provisions are recognized in the amount required to settle the obligations. They are recognized to the extent 

that there is a current commitment to third parties. In addition, they must be the result of a past event, lead to a future 

cash outflow and more likely than not be needed to settle the obligation (IAS 37).

Refund claims towards third parties are capitalized separately from the provisions as “other receivables”, provided that 

their realization is virtually certain.

Non-current provisions with terms of more than one year are discounted at a capital market interest rate with a matching  

maturity, taking future cost increases into account, provided that the interest effect is material.

The provision for partial retirement is recognized according to IAS 19R. The recognition of the liability from step-ups 

starts at the time when Fraport can legally and factually no longer withdraw from the liability. The step-up amounts are 

added to the obligation in installments until the end of the active phase. The utilization begins with the passive phase.

Liabilities

Liabilities are recognized in the amount of the consideration received and the received consideration, respectively. 

Liabilities in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Non-current low interest 

or non-interest-bearing liabilities are carried at their present value at the time of addition.

Finance lease liabilities are reported at the lower value of the present value of the minimum lease payments and the 

fair value of the leased asset.

Subsequent measurement of financial liabilities is based on the effective interest method at amortized cost.

Derivative financial instruments, hedging transactions

The Fraport Group basically uses derivative financial instruments to hedge existing and future interest and exchange 

rate risks. Derivative financial instruments with positive or negative market values are measured at fair value in accord-

ance with IAS 39. Changes of value on cash flow hedges are recorded in the reserve for financial instruments without 

affecting profit or loss. Corresponding to this, deferred taxes on the fair values of cash flow hedges are also included in 

shareholders’ equity without affecting profit or loss. The effectiveness of the cash flow hedges is assessed on a regular 

basis. Ineffective cash flow hedges are recorded in the income statement through profit or loss.

Further InformationConsolidated Financial StatementsFraport Annual Report 20131 1 4

Group Notes / Notes to the Consolidation and Accounting Policies

If the criteria for a cash flow hedge are not met, the derivative financial instruments are allocated to the “held for trading”  

category. In this case, the changes in the fair value and the related deferred taxes are recognized through profit or 

loss in the income statement. 

Derivative financial instruments are recognized at the trade date.

Stock options

The subscription rights issued on shares of Fraport AG in connection with the contingent capital have been recog-

nized and measured in accordance with IFRS 2. Performance takes place by issuing shares. The measurement of the 

share-based payments is based on fair value on the date the option is granted. The cost of the payment is allocated as 

personnel expense over the period during which employees have an unrestricted claim to the instruments.

Virtual stock options

Virtual stock options are being issued since January 1, 2010 as part of compensation for the Executive Board and Senior 

Managers. This virtual stock options program (“Long-term Incentive Program”) replaces the previous stock options 

program (Fraport Management Stock Options Plan 2005). They are paid out in cash immediately at the end of the 

performance period of four years. The measurement of virtual shares is at fair value according to IFRS 2. Up to the end 

of the performance period, the fair value is determined on each reporting date and on the date of performance and 

is recorded in personnel expense on a pro rata basis.

New standards, interpretations and changes

Of the new standards, interpretations and changes, Fraport generally applies those for which application was man-

datory; i.e. those applicable to fiscal years beginning on or before January 1, 2013. 

On June 16, 2011, the IASB published changes to IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements”. Therefore, the way 

other result is presented in the statement of comprehensive income is to be changed. Going forward, the other result 

items that will be subsequently reclassified to profit and loss (recycling) should be kept separate from the other result 

items that will not be reclassified. If the items are shown gross i.e., without netting with an effect on deferred taxes, 

the deferred taxes may no longer be shown as one total; instead, they should be allocated to both groups of items. 

The amendment was adopted under EU law on June 6, 2012 and is applicable for the first time for fiscal years starting 

on or after July 1, 2012. 

On June 16, 2011, the IASB published a revised version of IAS 19 “Employee Benefits”. The amendments were adopted 

under EU law on June 6, 2012 and are applicable for the first time for fiscal years starting on or after January 1, 2013. 

The previous option of recognizing actuarial gains and losses between immediate recognition in the profit and loss 

statement, in other income or delayed recognition according to the corridor approach, was abolished. With the 

revision of IAS 19, the actuarial gains and losses must be reported directly under other comprehensive income (OCI) 

as remeasurements. 

According to the amended standard, return on plan assets is recognized on the basis of standardized interest on the 

plan assets at the level of the current discount rate of the pension obligations and recognized together as net interest 

expense/net interest income. The calculation of the interest expense and interest income from the plan assets with 

the same interest rate was already applied at Fraport AG.  

Fraport Annual Report 2013Group Notes / Notes to the Consolidation and Accounting Policies

Furthermore, on the basis of the amendments to IAS 19, the step-up payments of the partial retirement provisions may 

no longer be recognized as “Termination Benefits”, but as “Long-Term Employee Benefits”. The recognition of the 

liability from step-ups starts at the time when Fraport can legally and factually no longer withdraw from the liability. 

The step-up amounts are added to the liability in installments until the end of the active phase.

With regard to the comprehensive additional disclosure duties of the new IAS 19, see note 37. 

The adjustments to the opening financial position and the previous year’s financial statement resulting from the retro-

active initial application of IAS 19 are shown in the table below. The initial application of the revised version of IAS 19 

takes place in compliance with the transition regulations.

ment of comprehensive income would have continued to be recognized in the profit and loss statement according 

to the old version.

Group Notes / Notes to the Consolidation and Accounting Policies

On December 16, 2011, the IASB published amendments to IAS 32 and IFRS 7. The amendment to IAS 32 clarified the 

requirements for the offsetting of financial instruments. The definition of the current legal right to offsetting has been 

explained and clarified by the amendment. It sets out which gross settlement procedures (in relation to standards) 

can be accounted for as net settlements. Given this clarification, the regulations regarding the disclosures in notes  

have also been expanded in IFRS 7. The amendments to IAS 32 are to be first applied to fiscal years starting on or after 

January 1, 2014. The amendment to IAS 32 will not have a material impact on the reporting of the asset, financial and 

earnings position of the Fraport Group. The amendments to IFRS 7 are to be first applied to fiscal years starting on 

or after January 1, 2013. The adoption of both amendments under EU law took place on December 29, 2012. The 

application of the amendments to IFRS 7 did not have an impact on the reporting of the asset, financial and earnings 

position of the Fraport Group.

The standard IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement” was published on May 12, 2011. IFRS 13 sets out, in a single standard, 

uniform measurement bases to measure fair value. There will be further regulations only for IAS 17 and IFRS 2. According 

to IFRS 13, fair value is defined as the price that would be received through selling an asset or the price paid to transfer 

a liability. As currently known from the fair value hierarchy of IFRS 7, a three-tiered hierarchy system will be introduced, 

that will be ranked according to observable market prices. The new fair value measurement may lead to different values 

compared to the previous system. The new standard is to be first applied to fiscal years starting on or after January 1, 2013.  

The application of IFRS 13 did not have a material impact on the reporting of the asset, financial and earnings position 

of the Fraport Group.

On May 17, 2012, the IASB published the “Improvements to IFRS 2009 – 2011” (Annual Improvements), which amended 

five International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs). These changes affect the following regulations: IFRS 1 relating 

to borrowing costs, IAS 1 for details of comparative information from previous years, IAS 16 regarding the accounting 

principles for spare parts and maintenance equipment, IAS 32 regarding the accounting principles for tax effects on 

distributions  to  equity  shareholders  and  transaction  costs  of  an  equity  transaction  and  IAS  34  regarding  segment 

information for the total assets and liabilities within the interim financial reporting. The amendments came into force 

for the reporting year that begins on or after January 1, 2013. The Improvements to IFRS 2009 – 2011 did not have a 

material impact on the reporting of the asset, financial and earnings position of the Fraport Group.

On December 20, 2010, the IASB published amendments to IAS 12 “Income Taxes”. This is an amendment in regard 

to calculating deferred taxes on investment property recognized at fair value (IAS 40.33). The amendments are to be 

first applied in fiscal years starting on or after January 1, 2013. In the Fraport Group, investment property is recognized 

according to the acquisition cost model (IAS 40.56). The amendments to IAS 12 do not impact the asset, financial and 

earning position of the Fraport Group.

On May 29, 2013, the IASB published “Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets (Amendments 

to IAS 36)”. With the amendments, on the one hand, with IFRS 13, fair value measurement, recently introduced 

disclosure requirements in IAS 36 will be corrected, while on the other hand, minor adjustments will take place to the 

disclosures required when an impairment loss or write-up exists and the recoverable amount has been determined on 

the basis of the fair value less disposal costs. The amendments to IAS 36 are to be first applied on a mandatory basis 

in fiscal years starting on or after January 1, 2014, however earlier application is permitted. The application must take 

place retrospectively, however, only for reporting periods in which IFRS 13 already applies. The amendment was first 

adopted into EU law on December 20, 2013. The amendments will not have a material impact on the reporting of 

the net asset, financial and earnings position of the Fraport Group. The change was voluntarily applied in the Fraport 

Group as at January 1, 2013. The amendments have not had an impact on the reporting of the asset, financial and 

earnings position of the Fraport Group.

Standards which have not been applied prematurely

For the following new or amended standards and interpretations, which the Fraport Group is not obliged to adopt 

until future fiscal years, there will be no early application. Unless otherwise specified, the effects on the Fraport Group’s 

financial statements are assessed presently.

Standards, interpretations and amendments published and accepted  
into European law by the EU Commission

On May 12, 2011, the IASB published five new and revised standards that amend the regulations on the consolidation 

and accounting of associated companies and joint venture investments and the associated disclosures. These are as 

follows: IFRS 10 “Consolidated Financial Statements”, IFRS 11 “Joint Arrangements”, IFRS 12 “Disclosure of Interests 

in Other Entities”, IAS 27 “Separate Financial Statements” (revised 2011) and IAS 28 “Investments in Associates and 

Joint Ventures” (revised 2011). 

On December 29, 2012, the EU Commission adopted IFRS 10 “Consolidated Financial Statements”, IFRS 11 “Joint 

Arrangements”, IFRS 12 “Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities”, IAS 27 “Separate Financial Statements” and IAS 28 

“Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures” into EU law. The standards are to be first applied in fiscal years starting 

on or after January 1, 2014. (Voluntary) Early application would be permitted for these new consolidation standards 

after EU endorsement. The mandatory initial application for EU IFRS adopters therefore deviates from the IASB effective 

date of January 1, 2013.

IFRS 10 replaces the consolidation guidelines in the IAS 27 “Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements” and SIC 12  

“Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities”. In the future, the new IAS 27 “Separate Financial Statements” (revised 2011) 

will only contain the regulations on accounting for subsidiaries, joint ventures and associated companies in separate 

financial statements under IFRS. In the revised IFRS 10, the term “control” has been comprehensively redefined. It now 

states that control is given if the potential parent company holds the decision-making power over the subsidiary, based 

on voting or other rights, it participates from positive or negative variable returns from the subsidiary and can influence 

these returns with its decision-making powers. From this standard, effects on the extent of the scope of consolidation 

including, among other things, special purpose entities can arise. In the Fraport Group, no changes to the scope of 

consolidation will result from the future application of IFRS 10. While adopting IFRS 11 “Joint Arrangements”, adjustments 

were also made to IAS 28. Like before, IAS 28 continues to regulate the application of the equity method. However, 

the adoption of IFRS 11 will significantly increase its scope, as in the future all joint ventures and not just investments in 

associated companies will have to be accounted for using the equity method. The use of proportionate consolidation 

for joint ventures is therefore inapplicable. There are specific transition rules for the transition from proportionate con-

solidation to the equity method. Currently, all joint ventures have been included proportionally in the Fraport Group. 

The abolishment of proportionate consolidation and the compulsory use of the equity method for joint ventures will 

have a significant impact on the future reporting of the asset, financial and earnings position. The effects of the future 

application of IFRS 11 are covered in the report “influence of joint ventures on the consolidated financial statements” 

(see note 2) as well as in the business outlook in the management report’s Outlook Report.

IFRS 12 “Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities” summarizes the disclosure regulations for subsidiaries, joint ventures 

and associated companies as well as unconsolidated structured entities. The required disclosures are considerably 

more extensive compared to the previous requirements of IAS 27, IAS 28 and IAS 31. The objective of IFRS 12 is to 

allow the users of financial statements to find the quantitative and qualitative information they require to evaluate the 

nature of and risks associated with and the interests in other entities as well as the effects of those interests on the 

asset, financial and earnings position.

Group Notes / Notes to the Consolidation and Accounting Policies

On June 28, 2012, IASB published amendments to the transitional provisions of IFRS 10, 11 and 12. The amendment 

clarifies that the date of the initial application of IFRS 10 is the start of the reporting period in which the standard is first 

applied. In addition, the mandatory disclosures of IFRS 12 are only applicable to the immediately preceding period. 

Structured companies that are not consolidated are released from the obligation to disclose comparative information 

for periods prior to the first application of IFRS 12. The amendments are to be applied in fiscal years starting on or after 

January 1, 2014. The amendments were first adopted into EU law on April 5, 2013.

On October 31, 2012, the IASB published the standard “Investment Entities” as a further amendment to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 

and IAS 27. The amendments include the definition of terms for investment entities, exempt these investment companies  

from the scope of IFRS 10 and provide for mandatory disclosures for investment entities. Investment companies are 

exempted from the mandatory inclusion of the companies controlled by them in their consolidated financial statements. 

Instead, the shareholdings held for investment purposes shall be valued at fair value through profit and loss. The new 

regulations are to be first applied in fiscal years starting on or after January 1, 2014. Earlier application is permitted. 

The amendments were first adopted into EU law on November 21, 2013. The amendments will not have an impact 

on the reporting of the asset, financial and earnings position of the Fraport Group.

On June 27, 2013, the IASB published amendments to IAS 39 “Novation of Derivatives and Continuation of Hedge 

Accounting”. The new regulations envisage that a change of the contracting party of a hedging instrument to a central 

counterparty or a member of a central counterparty does not lead to a termination of the hedge accounting under 

certain circumstances. Therefore, the hedging relationship can now also be maintained in the event of novation as 

a result of the introduction of laws. The application of the new regulations is mandatory for fiscal years beginning 

on or after January 1, 2014, retrospectively. Earlier application is permitted. The amendment was first adopted into  

EU law on December 20, 2013. The amendments will not have an impact on the reporting of the asset, financial and 

earnings position of the Fraport Group.

Standards, interpretations and amendments that have been published  
but not yet adopted into European law by the EU Commission

On November 12, 2009, the IASB published IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement” and on 

October 28, 2010, it released amendments to the standard. The accounting and measurement of financial instruments 

according to IFRS 9 will replace IAS 39. In the future, financial assets will be categorized and measured in two groups 

only: at amortized cost and fair value. The amortized cost group of financial assets comprises those financial assets that 

are only expected to give rise to interest and redemption payments on specified dates and that will, in addition, be 

held in the context of a business model with the objective of retaining assets. All other financial assets will form the fair 

value group. Under certain circumstances, financial assets in the first category may – as before – instead be designated 

as fair value (fair value option). Value changes of financial assets in the fair value group are to be generally recognized 

in profit or loss. For particular equity instruments, it is possible to exercise the right to recognize value changes under 

other income. Claims for dividends from these financial assets are, however, to be recognized in profit or loss. The 

regulations for financial liabilities are covered principally by IAS 39. The most significant difference concerns the reco-

gnition of value changes in designated financial liabilities measured at fair value. In the future, these will be divided as 

follows: The part apportionable to own credit risk is to be recognized under other income, while the remaining part 

of value changes is to be recognized in profit or loss. Subject to its adoption into EU law, IFRS 9 is to be first applied 

in fiscal years starting on or after January 1, 2015.  

Fraport Annual Report 2013Group Notes / Notes to the Consolidation and Accounting Policies

119

On December 16, 2011, the IASB published the amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 “Mandatory Effective Date and 

Transition Disclosures”. There are to be no adjustments to previous year figures in the first-time application of IFRS 9. 

The simplification leads to additional disclosures having to be made in the notes to the annual financial statements in 

accordance with IFRS 7 at the time of transition. This should make it possible for investors to assess the effects of the 

first-time application of IFRS 9 to the recognition and valuation of financial instruments. Subject to their adoption into 

EU law, the amendments are to be first applied to fiscal years starting on or after January 1, 2015.

On November 19, 2013, the IASB published changes to IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”. The amendments in IFRS 9 

contain new regulations regarding hedge accounting in the form of a new general model for accounting for hedging 

relationships. Furthermore, IASB has revoked the point in time previously contained in IFRS 9 for its initial application 

starting on or after January 1, 2015. A new time for initial application will only be defined once the full standard is 

available. An endorsement by the EU is also only anticipated at that time. 

The effects of the new IFRS 9 regulation on the consolidated financial statements of Fraport AG are currently still being 

assessed.

On May 20, 2013, the IASB published an interpretation on accounting for public levies, IFRIC 21. The interpretation 

regulates accounting for payment liabilities for public levies, which are not levies in the sense of IAS 12 “Income Taxes”. 

According to IFRIC 21, a liability is recognized in the annual financial statements as soon as the event occurs, which 

gives rise to the payment liability. Subject to its adoption into EU law, IFRIC 21 is to be first applied to fiscal years 

starting on or after January 1, 2014. The amendments will not have an impact on the reporting of the asset, financial 

and earnings position of the Fraport Group.

On November 21, 2013, the IASB published changes to IFRS 19 “Defined Benefit Plans: Employee Contributions”. This 

clarifies how contributions that are paid by the employees (or third parties) themselves for the service components 

are recorded in the accounting by the company issuing the commitment. In the past, with the application of IAS 19 

(old version), the nominal amount of employee contributions was frequently deducted in the period from the service 

cost that was rendered in the respective period of service. This accounting practice can be maintained if the amount 

of the contributions is independent from the number of years of service. For example, these include amounts that are 

defined as a fixed percentage rate of annual salary. The amendments are to be applied to fiscal years starting on or 

after July 1, 2014. Earlier application is permitted. The amendments will not have a material impact on the reporting 

of the asset, financial and earnings position of the Fraport Group.

On  December  12,  2013,  the  IASB  published  the  “Improvements  to  IFRS  2010 – 2012”  and  “Improvements  to  IFRS 

2011 – 2013” (Annual Improvements), which will amend a total of eleven IFRSs. The amendments to the “Improvement 

of the IFRS 2010 – 2012” relate to the following in detail: IFRS 1 regarding the definition of “vesting conditions”, IFRS 3 

regarding the accounting of conditional purchase price payments for company acquisitions, IFRS 8 regarding notes 

disclosures in relation to the merger of business segments and regarding the reconciliation of segment assets to Group 

assets, IFRS 13 regarding the omission of discounting current receivables and liabilities, IAS 16 regarding the proporti-

onal adjustment of cumulative depreciation when using the remeasurement method, IAS 24 regarding the definition 

of “related companies” and its influence on the interpretation of the term “members of management in key positions” 

and IAS 38 regarding the proportional adjustment of cumulative depreciation when using the remeasurement method. 

The amendments to the “Improvement of the IFRS 2011 – 2013” relate to the following in detail: IFRS 1 regarding the 

definition in IFRS 1.7 of “all IFRS that are valid at the end of the reporting period”, IFRS 3 in respect of the exception 

from the application scope for joint ventures, IFRS 13 in relation to the application scope of what is known as the 

portfolio exception, and IFRS 40 regarding answering the question of whether the acquisition of investment property 

constitutes a merger combination, with the regulations of IFRS 3 being relevant. The amendments come into force 

for the reporting years that begin on or after January 1, 2014. The impact of the new regulations on the consolidated 

financial statements of Fraport AG are currently being assessed.

Information on revenue can be found in the management report under chapter “Results of Operations” as well as the 

segment reporting (see also note 41).

The segment Retail & Real Estate includes revenue from operate leases. The revenue-related surface rentals recognized  

in the fiscal year amount to € 167.6 million (previous year: € 175.5 million).

The operate leases mainly relate to the leasing of buildings, land, terminal areas and offices. The contract periods end 

in 2070 or earlier. No purchase options have been agreed upon. As in the previous year, the residual term of hereditary  

building rights contracts was 46 years on average. No purchase options exist for these, either.

The  acquisition  and  production  costs  of  the  leased  buildings  and  land  amount  to  € 418.7  million  (previous  year: 

€ 423.2  million).  Accumulated  depreciation  and  amortization  total  € 285.1  million  (previous  year:  € 275.7  million) 

and the depreciation and amortization for the 2013 fiscal year amount to € 9.4 million (previous year: € 6.8 million).

Revenue in the External Activities & Services segment includes contract revenue from construction and expansion 

services related to airport operating projects abroad in the amount of € 65.7 million (previous year: € 28.7 million).

Regular depreciation and amortization 

The useful lives of some assets were remeasured in the year under review, resulting in net reduced depreciation and 

amortization of € 0.4 million (previous year: increased depreciation and amortization of € 15.5 million).

Impairment losses according to IAS 36

Impairment tests according to IAS 36 conducted during the year under review resulted in an impairment loss of  

€ 0.5 million (previous year: € 0.3 million). All of this is related to investment property. Please refer to note 22 for 

more information.

The valuation of assets reflects future earnings expectations. The recoverable amount is the higher of the value in use or 

the fair value less cost to sell. Only the value in use was applied in the year under review. The value in use is determined 

by the entity applying the discounted cash flow method, as the fair value less cost to sell cannot be reliably determined.

Determination of the future cash flows of the cash generating units is based on the planning figures. The value in use 

is generally determined based on the future cash flows estimated on the basis of the current planning figures for the 

years between 2014 to 2019 as approved by the Executive Board and in effect at the time the impairment tests are 

made (in December of the year under review), and on the basis of the current long-term plans until 2025 or over 

the respective contractual periods in the case of investments in airport operating projects. These forecasts are based 

on past experiences and the expected market performance. A growth rate (of between 0.0 % and 2.0 %) based on 

the planning assumptions is taken into account in the perpetual annuity. The discount factor was a country-specific, 

weighted average cost of capital (WACC) of between 6.43 % and 11.33 % (previous year: between 6.2 % and 10.18 %).

Table 67

Current income tax expense consists of current income tax for the year under review and income tax for previous years. 

Most of the income tax expense results from the activities of Fraport AG.

Current  income  tax  expense  for  Fraport  AG  for  the  2013  fiscal  year  amounts  to  € 70.6  million  (previous  year:  

€ 80.4 million). This includes the item “taxes relating to previous years” in the amount of € 0.1 million (previous year:  

gain of € 6.8 million).

The tax expenses include the corporation and trade income taxes as well as the solidarity surcharge of the companies 

in Germany and comparable taxes on income of the foreign companies. The actual taxes result from the taxable results 

of the fiscal year and any revisions to previous assessment periods, to which the local tax rates of the respective Group 

company are applied. 

Deferred taxes are generally measured on the basis of the tax rate applicable in the respective country. A combined 

income tax rate of around 31 % including trade tax has been applied to German companies.  

Deferred taxes are recognized for all temporary differences between the tax and IFRS financial statements and for the 

carry-forwards of unused tax losses.  

The Fraport Group had unused tax losses carried forward in the amount of some € 7.9 million as at December 31, 2013, 

based on current information, cannot be used (previous year: € 4.8 million). Loss carry-forwards that are not expected 

to be utilizable are mainly due to Fraport Immobilienservice und -entwicklungs GmbH & Co. KG and Fraport Cargo 

Services GmbH and can be carried forward indefinitely. Essentially for the evaluation of the recoverability of deferred 

tax assets is the probability of the future use of the losses carried forward. This depends on whether future taxable 

profits will be available in the periods in which the carry forward of unused tax losses can be utilized.  

No deferred tax liabilities were recognized for temporary differences in connection with shares in subsidiaries, joint 

ventures and associated companies in the amount of € 145.2 million (previous year: € 144.0 million), as Fraport can 

control the timing of the reversal and it is not expected that these differences will reverse in the foreseeable future. 

These deferred tax liabilities are, however, limited to 1.55 % of the difference as well as local withholding taxes in the 

case of future dividend payments from certain foreign subsidiaries. The amounts are not material from the Group’s 

point of view.

In addition, deferred taxes also result from consolidation measures. Pursuant to IAS 12, no deferred tax is recognized 

with respect to goodwill capitalized or any impairment loss of goodwill.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are netted insofar as these tax claims and liabilities relate to the same tax authority 

and to the same taxable entity or a group of different taxable entities that, however, are assessed jointly for income 

tax purposes.

In the fiscal year, deferred taxes decreasing equity in the amount of € 15.2 million (previous year: deferred taxes 

increasing equity in the amount of € 12.0 million) from the change in the fair values of derivatives and securities were  

recognized directly in equity without affecting profit or loss. Further equity-decreasing deferred taxes amounting to 

€ 1.2 million (previous year: equity-increasing deferred taxes amounting to € 0.8 million) resulted from the remeasure-

ment of defined benefit plans.

The basic earnings per share for the 2013 fiscal year were calculated using the weighted average number of floating 

shares corresponding to a € 10 share of the capital stock each. Due to the capital increase, the number of floating shares 

during the period rose from 92,134,391 to 92,212,289 as at December 31, 2013. With a weighted average number 

of 92,173,637 shares, the basic earnings per € 10 share amounted to € 2.40.

As a result of the rights granted to employees to buy shares (authorized capital) within the scope of the employee 

investment plan and of the issue of subscription rights in connection with the stock options plan (contingent capital), 

the diluted number of shares amounts to 92,532,887 (weighted average) and the diluted earnings per € 10 share are 

therefore € 2.39.

Additions to property, plant and equipment in the 2013 fiscal year amounted to € 395.1 million, of which €179.5 million  

was from projects related to the capacitive expansion of Frankfurt Airport and € 56.9 million related to Pier A-Plus, which 

opened in October 2012, and its associated infrastructure.

Borrowing costs totaling € 17.5 million were capitalized (previous year: € 27.4 million). Of this amount, € 15.6 million 

was used for capital expenditure whose financing could not be clearly classified for the purpose of creating a specific 

qualifying asset (previous year: € 18.2 million). The cost of debt for general project financing was approximately 4.3 % 

on average (previous year: approximately 4.7 %). Borrowing costs were mainly incurred for projects relating to the 

capacitive expansion of Frankfurt Airport.  

Borrowing costs of € 1.9 million were recognized for the specific financing of the New Passenger Terminals and the 

runways in Varna and Burgas (previous year: € 1.0 million). The average cost of debt for this project was around 4.2 % 

(previous year: 3.8 %).

Other intangible assets include an agreement on the use of software licenses which become the property of Fraport AG 

after the contract expires. The contract expired in 2013.

Land, land rights and buildings, including buildings on leased lands, include an energy plant located on the premises 

of Fraport AG. Given the exclusive use by Fraport AG and the existence of a special lease contract, Fraport AG is considered 

to be the beneficial owner of the plant. The contract expires in 2020.

This item also includes a cargo handling and office building leased by Fraport Cargo Services GmbH to the end of 

the year 2023. The contract includes two options to extend the term of the lease for five additional years each. Since 

virtually all economic rights and obligations have been transferred and the contract term exceeds the material portion 

of the useful life, beneficial ownership of the building is assigned to the tenant.

Technical equipment and machinery includes an IT service agreement with the operational services GmbH & Co. KG 

for the provision of an IT structure on the Frankfurt Airport site and related services. As the network is located on the 

premises of Fraport AG and is of no reasonable commercial use to any other party, Fraport AG is considered to be the 

beneficial owner. Technical equipment and machinery also includes another IT service agreement with operational 

services GmbH & Co. KG for the provision of server and data storage capacities. The computer center required for this 

purpose is located on the premises of Fraport AG and Fraport AG is the sole recipient of the server and data storage 

services. Both contracts run until 2018. After an inventory taken at the lessor in the 2013 fiscal year, the quantity of 

infrastructure supplied during the year under review declined, so the leases were adjusted accordingly.

Most of the remaining lease contracts relate to special vehicles. They expire between 2014 and 2015. In the fiscal 

year, outstanding liabilities of some special vehicles were repaid early, which led to a disposal of € 2.8 million, as it was 

contractually agreed that the transfer of the property would take place on full settlement.

The additions of € 3.6 million in other equipment, operating and office equipment result from a sale and lease back 

transaction with nine special vehicles with SüdLeasing GmbH, Stuttgart, in the fiscal year. Upon the sale of the special 

vehicles acquired in 2012 to SüdLeasing GmbH, they are leased back until April 30, 2023. As the minimum lease term 

covers the most of the remaining useful life, the agreement has been classified as a finance lease.

Undeveloped land – level 2 is agricultural land in the Kelsterbach district which is partly located in a bird sanctuary. 

The fair value of the land is calculated internally using the comparative value procedure pursuant to the Real Estate 

Valuation Regulation of May 19, 2010 (ImmoWertV) applicable in Germany based on the standard ground values 

published by a committee of experts.

The fair value of the undeveloped land – level 3 is also calculated internally using the comparative value procedure. 

The square meter prices of real estate transactions currently being carried out in the same land-use area are, however, 

not observable on the market. The land is in the immediate vicinity of Frankfurt Airport.

The developed land – level 3 comprises real estate leased for residential purposes from the voluntary purchase pro-

gram for real estate in Flörsheim in the flight zone of Runway Northwest and commercially leased real estate with low 

flight altitude in Kelsterbach. In addition, this class includes commercially used real estate with third-party hereditary 

building rights. 

The fair values are calculated by independent assessors partly using the capitalization of earnings method pursuant to 

ImmoWertV and partly using the discounted cash flow method. As key input parameters in the capitalization of earn-

ings method can be mentioned the multiplier, depending on the useful life and property yields, and the underlying 

annual rent. The fair value of two buildings was below their carrying amount in the fiscal year, meaning that impairment 

losses totaling € 0.5 million were recognized (previous year: € 0.3 million).  

With regard to the valuation of the purchase program for real estate, the discounted cash flow method is used based 

on a perpetual annuity. The key input parameters here are the discount rate, the sustainable market rent, the assumed 

remaining useful life, predicted maintenance costs and the anticipated development in rents.

Group Notes / Notes to the Consolidated Financial Position

The additions for the year under review were primarily from the voluntary purchase program for real estate in Flörsheim 

at € 14.4 million.

Foreseeable restrictions on the disposal of major parts of the investment property arise from the fact that these areas 

are located in the immediate vicinity of Runway Northwest. 

Lease  revenue  from  investment  property  during  the  2013  fiscal  year  amounted  to  € 2.1  million  (previous  year:  

€ 1.2 million). The total costs incurred for the maintenance of investment property totaled € 0.9 million (previous year: 

€ 0.6 million), of which € 0.2 million (previous year: € 0.2 million) was incurred for property for which no lease revenue 

was earned during the fiscal year.

Obligations for the acquisition of investment property amounted to € 1.4 million at the balance sheet date (previous year:  

€ 1.5 million).

Financial investments of € 168.2 million in securities which were classified as available for sale were made in the year 

under  review.  Other  changes  resulted  from  reclassifications  to  current  other  financial  assets  due  to  securities  of 

€ 149.1 million maturing in 2014 and changes arising from measurement of – € 1.9 million. 

Investment securities include fund units that have been acquired exclusively for the insolvency protection of credits 

from the time-account models and partial retirement claims in particular of employees of Fraport AG. In fiscal year 2013,  

fund units were decreased by € 7.1 million (previous year: increase of € 5.7 million), bringing the total acquisition cost 

to € 57.6 million (previous year: € 64.0 million). These securities are measured at fair value and credited against the 

corresponding provisions in the amount of € 54.2 million (previous year: € 65.9 million) (see also note 39). At year end, 

there was an overfunding from fund units of € 4.6 million (previous year: € 2.5 million).

The change in other investments of the “available for sale” category relates to shares in Delhi International Airport 

Private Ltd., New Delhi, India, for which there was a newly derived price as fair value in the year under review. 

Changes in other loans mainly relate in the amount of € 15.0 million to additions resulting from financial investments 

in promissory note loans. Maturing promissory note loans in the amount of € 40.2 million were reclassified under  

current other financial assets.

As in the previous year, loans to affiliated companies of € 120.3 million relate to a shareholder loan to Northern Capital 

Gateway LLC (NCG), St. Petersburg, Russia. The Federal Republic of Germany has assumed a guarantee for direct invest-

ments abroad for this shareholder loan. Should the loan be canceled prior to maturity, the interests of the Federal 

Republic of Germany must be considered in order to protect the guarantee claims.

Accruals essentially relate to grants given for construction costs. At Fraport AG, grants given for construction costs are 

mainly awarded to utility companies installing facilities to meet the specialized requirements of Fraport AG. The utility  

companies own the utility equipment.

The financial assets in the available for sale category include securities with a remaining maturity of up to one year. The 

change resulted both from reclassification from other financial assets based on maturity and from additions amount-

ing to around € 448.0 million as well as disposals of the securities which matured in the reporting year amounting to 

around € 390.0 million. 

Other  assets  include  promissory  note  loans  with  a  remaining  maturity  of  up  to  one  year  amounting  to  around  

€ 40.1 million (previous year: € 28.1 million). 

No effects arose from changes in credit ratings as the credit ratings of the issuers and issues did not change.

The item refunds from “Passive noise abatement” includes the expected full reimbursement amount from noise abate-

ment charges from the airlines, which was recognized as other assets in compliance with IAS 37.53 in connection  

with  the  provisions  created  for  the  obligation  of  Fraport  AG  to  reimburse  costs  for  noise  abatement  construction 

measures. The value was determined based on the estimated expenses for reimbursing the costs of noise abatement 

construction measures. In fiscal year 2013, due to the adoption of the draft of the third regulation for the execution of 

the Act for Protection against Aircraft Noise (Außenwohnbereichsentschädigungs-Verordnung), there was a present 

value increase in the refund claim of € 48.3 million. More information about the corresponding present value increase 

in other provisions can be found in note 39. 

Where applicable, the appropriate allowance was recognized for other receivables and financial assets as at the reporting 

date. The allowance made in this fiscal year was € 5.7 million (previous year: € 0.1 million). There are no other material 

past due items.

The major item in income tax receivables relates to the corporation tax credit capitalized in the 2006 fiscal year.

On December 12, 2006, the revised Section 37 of the German Corporation Tax Act (KStG) became legally effective in 

connection with amendments to the law based upon the departmental draft of SE-Introductory Legislation (SEStEG).

According to Section 37 (4) of the KStG (new version), the corporation tax credit of Fraport AG had last to be estab-

lished on December 31, 2006. In accordance with Section 37 (5) of the KStG (new version), Fraport AG is entitled 

to a refund of its corporation tax credit in ten equal annual installments during a payout period from 2008 to 2017. 

The refund claim accrued after the end of December 31, 2006 and is non-interest bearing. The first installment was 

refunded in 2008 and is payable on September 30 of each year.

The corporation tax credit totaled € 24.4 million as at December 31, 2013 (previous year: € 30.5 million), which was 

discounted at a rate of 3.75 % due to its long-term nature. The present value of this claim to a tax refund amounts to 

€ 20.3 million as at the balance sheet date (previous year: € 24.9 million). Economically, this refund claim is an overpay-

ment within the meaning of IAS 12.12.

Land and buildings includes properties at the Gateway Gardens site in the immediate vicinity of Frankfurt Airport, which 

are intended for sale, amounting to € 31.0 million (previous year: € 30.3 million) and at the Mönchhof site amounting 

to € 24.1 million (previous year: € 27.1 million). 

Based on the ongoing development of the property held for sale, € 2.3 million was capitalized in the year under review 

(previous year: € 3.6 million). Carrying amount reductions of €4.6 million (previous year: € 7.6 million) were the result 

of property sale transactions. Borrowing costs totaling € 0.6 million were recognized (previous year: € 0.7 million). The 

cost of debt was between around 1.3 % and 2.8 % (previous year: between around 1.7 % and 3.1 %).

Group Notes / Notes to the Consolidated Financial Position

The net realizable value of the property held for sale was calculated using the discounted cash flow method over the 

remaining planned selling period, with a discount rate adequate for the risk and related to the term. This ranged from 

4.5 % (Gateway Gardens site) to 5.3 % for the Mönchhof site after tax (previous year: 5 % in each case). When calculating  

the discount rate, further discounts were applied in addition to the general sector risk premium, particularly for as yet 

unknown environmental and selling risks. When calculating the net realizable value, the selling prices of sales which 

have already taken place and expenses planned for further development and selling are taken into account. As was 

the case last year, the net realizable values were higher than the carrying amounts. 

Additional costs incurring up to the date of sale mainly relate to expenses for the further development of the property 

held for sale comprising the Mönchhof and the Gateway Gardens sites.

Sales  of  property  with  a  carrying  amount  of  around  € 7.3  million  are  planned  for  2014  (previous  year:  around  

€ 8.1 million). The sale of other land and buildings for sale (€ 47.8 million) shall be realized in 2015 and later.

The development areas of Grundstücksgesellschaft Gateway Gardens GmbH carry mortgages.

Expenses for the maintenance of real estate inventories during the year under review were minor. Selling costs mainly 

consist  of  personnel  expenses  incurred  by  Fraport  Immobilienservice  und  -entwicklungs  GmbH  &  Co.  KG  and 

Grundstücksgesellschaft Gateway Gardens GmbH.

Raw materials, consumables and supplies mainly relate to consumables for the airport operation.

Issued capital

Issued capital (less treasury shares) increased by € 0.8 million in fiscal year 2013 and is fully paid up as at the balance 

sheet date. At € 0.6 million, this increase relates to the partial use of the authorized capital – following the capital increase 

in exchange for cash contributions – to issue shares in connection with the employee investment plan.

Furthermore, contingent capital was used to acquire additional shares totaling € 0.2 million during the fiscal year to 

serve stock options from the Fraport Management Stock Options Plan 2005 (MSOP 2005). 

Number of floating shares and treasury shares

The issued capital consisted of 92,289,654 (previous year: 92,211,756) bearer shares with no par value, each of which

Authorized capital

Pursuant to Sections 202 et seqq. of the AktG, the Executive Board was authorized by resolution of the AGM held on 

May 27, 2009 to increase the capital stock by up to €5.5 million on one or more occasions until May 26, 2014 with  

the approval of the Supervisory Board. It was possible to exclude the statutory subscription rights of the shareholders.  

In 2013, a total of € 552,980 of authorized capital was used for issuing shares within the scope of the employee invest-

ment plan. At the AGM of May 31, 2013, the existing authorized capital was canceled and new authorized capital of 

€ 3.5 million was approved, which can be used for issuing shares to employees of Fraport AG and companies controlled 

by Fraport AG. The Executive Board is now entitled, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, to increase the capital 

stock on one or more occasions by up to a total of € 3.5 million until May 30, 2018, by issuing new shares in return for 

cash. The statutory subscription rights of the shareholders may be excluded.

Therefore, € 3.5 million of authorized capital remained as at December 31, 2013, which can be used for issuing shares 

to employees of Fraport AG and companies controlled by the Fraport AG. The subscription rights of the shareholders 

may be excluded.

Contingent capital

A contingent capital increase of € 13.9 million was approved according to the Sections 192 et seqq. of the AktG at 

the AGM held on March 14, 2001. The purpose of the contingent capital was expanded at the AGM on June 1, 2005. 

The contingent capital increase also serves to fulfill subscription rights under the approved Fraport MSOP 2005. The 

Executive Board and Supervisory Board were authorized to issue up to a total of 1,515,000 stock options to beneficiaries 

entitled to subscribe until August 31, 2009, in accordance with more detailed provisions in this regard. Some of the 

shares which were issued to members of the Executive Board as part of performance-related remuneration until 2010 

are subject to a vesting period of twelve or 24 months.

Contingent capital total € 3.4 million as at December 31, 2013. In 2013, € 0.2 million (22,600 options) of the options 

granted in the fifth tranche of the MSOP 2005 were exercised.

The capital increase within the framework of the MSOP 2005 is only carried out to the extent that the holders of 

subscription rights exercise their subscription rights granted under the MSOP 2005 on the basis of the authorization 

referred to above and the company does not serve the stock options using treasury shares, the transfer of shares by 

a third party, or a cash payment. 

A total of 2,016,150 subscription rights had been issued under the MSOP 2001 and 2005 until the balance sheet date.

Capital reserve

The capital reserve contains the premium from the issuing of Fraport AG shares. Of the € 2.2 million increase in the 

capital reserve, € 1.9 million results from the excess in the issue amount (€ 35.00 per share) of new shares issued under 

the employee investment plan (55,298 shares in total) and € 0.3 million resulted from the excess in the issue amount 

(€ 13.59) of new shares issued from contingent capital to serve stock options (22,600 shares).  

Revenue reserves

The revenue reserves consist not only of the reserves of Fraport AG (including the statutory reserve of € 36.5 million), 

but also the revenue reserves and retained earnings of the Group companies included in the consolidated financial 

statements, as well as effects of consolidation adjustments.  

Currency translation differences total € 3.7 million (previous year: € 8.4 million). This figure includes currency transla-

tion differences of – € 9.2 million for the Philippine companies accounted for using the equity method, which are not 

charged to the Group result until the companies are disposed of in accordance with IAS 21.  

The derivative valuation reserve was – € 103.2 million as at the balance sheet date (previous year: – € 144.7 million). The 

reserve for the fair value valuation of financial assets available for sale total € 21.9 million (previous year: € 27.7 million).  

The Executive Board and the Supervisory Board of Fraport AG will propose the distribution of € 115.4 million out of 

the profit earmarked for distribution of Fraport AG to the AGM. This equates to € 1.25 per share.  

In the 2013 fiscal year, the AGM of May 31, 2013 decided to pay a dividend of € 1.25 per no-par value share entitled 

to dividend. The distributed amount thus came to € 115.2 million (previous year: € 114.8 million).

Provisions for pensions and similar obligations

Defined benefit plans

Within the Fraport Group, there are pension obligations for the members of the Executive Board of Fraport AG and 

their  surviving  dependents  as  well  as  obligations  for  Senior  Managers  and  employees  not  covered  by  collective  

bargaining agreements.

The pension obligations essentially include 20 (previous year: 20) vested pension benefits promised in individual 

contractual pension commitments to the members of the Fraport AG Executive Board and their surviving dependents. 

A reinsurance policy was already obtained in 2005 to reduce actuarial risks and to protect pension obligations for 

the former and current (in some cases still active) members of the Executive Board against insolvency. This is a group 

insurance policy with an annual, constant minimum insurance amount for the entire group. The pension benefits from 

the reinsurance policy correspond to the total achievable retirement, disability and widow’s benefits in accordance 

with the pension commitments. The reinsurance benefits are recognized at the active value reported by the insurance 

company in the amount of € 19.3 million (previous year: € 18.3 million). The reinsurance is not traded on an active 

market (see also note 52). Reinsurance installments of € 1.2 million have been paid for 2013 (previous year: € 1.2 million)  

and € 1.2 million is expected for the next year. The average weighted duration of the members of the Executive Board’s 

defined benefit plans is 15.7 years for pensions with reinsurance and 8.7 years for pensions without reinsurance.

For Senior Managers and employees not covered by collective bargaining agreements who joined the company as 

Senior Managers or employees not covered by collective bargaining agreements after December 31, 1997 or who 

will join in future, the pension benefits and provision for surviving dependents on the monthly compensation liable 

to top-up pension payments, for which contributions are payable, are restricted to the upper limit defined in Section 

38 of the ATV-K in the amount of 1.133 times of the payment group 15 level 6 of the collective bargaining agreement 

for civil servants (TVöD). In addition to the said limited pension benefits and provision for surviving dependents, there 

exists a supplementary operational pension for these persons. Hereafter, Fraport AG makes an annual contribution 

in the amount of 13 % of the eligible income as capital components into an individually managed pension account.

The period of contribution began on January 1, 1998 for employees who entered into an employment relationship 

not covered by a collective bargaining agreement before January 1, 2000. Furthermore, this applies for employees 

who changed from an employment relationship covered by collective bargaining agreements to one not covered 

by collective bargaining agreements after December 31, 1997 or who entered into a relationship not covered by  

collective bargaining agreements after December 31, 1997, effective as of the time of the change in status. There were 

366 benefits (of which 196 vested) as at the end of the year. The present value of the non-vested benefits amounts 

to € 0.7 million (previous year: €0.8 million); the present value of the vested benefits amounted to € 5.6 million in the 

2013 annual financial statements. Future obligations amount to € 5.3 million for active employees and € 1.0 million 

for former and retired employees. No significant provision amounts were paid this fiscal year due to the young age 

structure. The obligations for Senior Managers and employees not covered by collective bargaining agreements had 

an average weighted duration of 10.2 years. 

Furthermore, Senior Managers have had the opportunity to participate in an employee-financed company pension 

scheme (“deferred compensation”) since 1996. The employee portion is generated through converting a portion 

that can be chosen freely each year. This portion is converted into an insured sum and is accumulated by Fraport AG 

and accrues interest. At the end of the fiscal year, there were 15 vested pension commitments totaling € 4.0 million 

(previous year: € 4.0 million). Obligations amount to € 3.5 million for active employees and € 0.5 million for former 

and  retired  employees.  The  average  weighted  duration  of  the  employee-financed  company  pension  scheme  was  

6.6 years in fiscal year 2013.  

The valuation of pension obligations is based on the provisions according to IAS 19. The pension obligations as 

at December 31, 2013, were calculated on the basis of actuarial opinions of December 17 and 23, 2013. Changes

The significant actuarial assumptions refer to the pension obligations of the members of the Executive Board, because 

these are the major obligations. All other pension obligations largely have the same assumptions.

Sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analysis is based on changes in the assumptions while the other factors remained constant. In practice, 

it is unlikely that only one actuarial assumption would change. Changes in actuarial assumptions may correlate with 

other actuarial assumptions. The pension provision would vary by the following amounts in the event of a change  

in assumptions:

Table 101

The analysis of inflation includes both the change in amounts and pension trends. The retirement age has no influence 

on the pensions received by members of the Executive Board and was only calculated for other pensions.

In connection with defined benefit plans, the Group is exposed to general actuarial risks as well as the interest rate 

risk. Some pension benefits are tied to inflation and higher inflation will lead to higher obligations. Due to the liquidity 

available in the Group, there is no risk with regard to fulfillment for non-reinsured obligations. 

Multi-employer plans

Fraport AG has insured its employees for purposes of granting a defined-benefit company pension under the statutory  

insurance  scheme  based  on  a  collective  bargaining  agreement  (Altersvorsorge-TV-Kommunal  [ATV-K])  with  the  

Zusatzversorgungskasse for local authority and municipal employers in Wiesbaden (ZVK). The contributions are collected 

based on a pay-as-you-go model. As in the previous year, the contribution rate of the ZVK is 6.2 % on compensation 

liable to top-up pension payments; thereof, the employer pays 5.7 %, with the contribution paid by the employee 

amounting to 0.5 %. In addition, a tax-free restructuring charge of 2.3 % of the compensation liable to top-up pension  

payments is levied by the employer in accordance with Section 63 of the ZVK Statutes (ZVKS). An additional contribution  

of 9 % is paid for some employees included in the statutory social security insurance scheme (generally employees 

not covered by collective bargaining agreements and Senior Managers) for the consideration subject to ZVK that, 

according to Section 38 of the ATV-K, exceeds the upper limit defined in the collective bargaining agreement.

This plan is a multi-employer plan (IAS 19.8), since the companies involved share the risk of the investment and also 

the biometric risk. 

The ZVK insurance is generally to be classified as a defined benefit plan (IAS 19.30). Since the plan is a defined benefit 

plan, the company has to account for its proportionate share of its benefit obligations in the total obligations and 

for the exact share in the total assets of ZVK according to IAS 19.32. If there is not sufficient information on the plan 

and a company also covers the risks of other insuring companies with its contributions (IAS 19.34b), only the current  

contributions are accounted for as if it was a defined contribution plan. Due to its structure, the ZVK does not pro-

vide any information to participating companies that would allow the allocation of obligations, plan assets, service 

costs and, if applicable, over- or underfunding or the extent of Fraport’s participation in the plan. In the consolidated 

financial  statements  of  Fraport,  the  consideration  of  contributions  corresponds  to  defined-contribution  pension  

commitments. Along with the remaining member companies, Fraport AG is obliged to finance accrued obligations not

1 4 6

Group Notes / Notes to the Consolidated Financial Position

covered by assets as well as future obligations. The precise share of the remaining extent of the obligation cannot be 

determined. In the event of Fraport AG withdrawing from the multi-employer plan (for example through terminating 

the agreement), compensation in the amount of the present value of the obligation at the point of the membership 

being terminated is to be paid to the ZVK. This amount cannot be determined due to only insufficient information  

being available. Should the multi-employer plan be dissolved by a resolution of the administrative committee, no share 

in any possible remaining overfunding will be due to Fraport. 

In the fiscal year, € 28.1 million (previous year: € 26.8 million) was recorded as contributions to defined contribution 

plans. Contributions of €29.4 million are expected for the next fiscal year. 

Furthermore, due to statutory provisions, contributions are also made to state-administered pension funds in Germany. The  

current contributions are shown as expense for the respective year. Employer contributions made by the Fraport Group 

to state-administered pension funds totaled € 66.0 million (previous year: € 71.7 million).

The  environmental  provisions  have  been  formed  largely  for  probable  restructuring  costs  for  the  elimination  of 

groundwater contamination on the Frankfurt Airport site in Frankfurt/Main, as well as for environmental pollution in 

the southern section of the airport.

The present value of the provision formed in 2011 for the obligation to compensate passive noise abatement expenses 

for privately used properties was increased by € 57.6 million in fiscal year 2013. Of this, € 48.3 million was accounted 

for by the adoption of the draft of the third regulation for the execution of the Act for Protection against Aircraft Noise 

(Fluglärm-Außenwohnbereichsentschädigungs-Verordnung).  The  obligation  results  from  the  zoning  decision  of  

December 18, 2007 and was made specific through the enactment of the regulation above in the fiscal year. There is 

a refund claim for this amount indicated under other receivables (see also note 25). The remaining € 9.3 million is due 

to the HMWVL zoning supplement decision of April 30, 2013, according to which Fraport AG is obliged to refund 

passive noise abatement expenses for commercially used properties. This amount was recognized as production costs 

in connection with the capacity expansion accounted for under property, plant and equipment.

A provision for environmental protection compensating measures was created in the previous years due to the long-

term obligation to implement ecological compensating measures resulting from the work performed to clear the land 

in the southern part of the airport and in the area of Runway Northwest required for the airport expansion.

Other provisions include the provision of € 9.6 million (previous year: € 19.4 million) for the purchase and compensa-

tion program for residential properties (Fraport Casa) as well as additions for obligations from the zoning supplement 

decision of May 10, 2013 regarding wake turbulences in the amount of € 23.5 million, which was recognized in the 

same amount as production costs in connection with the capacity expansion accounted for under property, plant 

and equipment.

In addition, other provisions include provisions established mainly for rebates and refunds, legal disputes and claim events.

Table 106

Given the short maturities for cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable and other financial receivables and 

assets, the carrying amounts as at the reporting date correspond to the fair value.

The  valuation  of  unlisted  securities  was  based  on  market  data  applicable  on  the  valuation  date  using  reliable  and 

specialized sources and data providers. The values are determined using established valuation models.

The derivative financial instruments mainly relate to interest rate hedging transactions. The fair values of these financial 

instruments are determined on the basis of discounted future expected cash flows, using market interest rates cor-

responding to the terms to maturity.

Group Notes / Notes to the Consolidated Financial Position

In order to determine the fair value of financial liabilities, the future expected cash flows are determined and discounted 

based on the yield curve on the reporting date. The market risk premium for the term and respective borrower on the 

reporting date is added to the cash flows. 

The fair values of listed securities are identical to the stock market prices on the reporting date.

There is no price quotation or market price for shares in partnerships and other unlisted investments, as there is no active 

market for them. The carrying amount is assumed to equal the fair value, since the fair value cannot be determined 

reliably. These assets are not intended for sale as at the 2013 balance sheet date.

The carrying amounts of other loans and loans to affiliated companies correspond to the respective fair values. Some 

of the other loans are subject to a market interest rate and their carrying amounts therefore represent a reliable valua-

tion for their fair values. Another part of the other loans is reported at present value on the balance sheet date. Here, 

it is also assumed that the present value corresponds to the fair value. The other remaining loans are promissory note 

loans with a remaining term of less than four years. Due to the lack of an active market, no information is available on 

the risk premiums of their respective issuers. As a result, their carrying amounts were used as the most reliable value 

for their fair values. These are not intended for sale as at the 2013 balance sheet date.

Non-current liabilities are recognized at their present value. Interest rates with similar terms on the date of addition are 

used as a basis for discounting future cash outflows. To determine fair value, the respective cash outflows are discounted  

at interest rates with similar terms and with the Fraport credit risk on the reporting date. The carrying amounts of 

current liabilities are equal to the fair value.

The fair values of financial instruments belong to the measurement categories of the hierarchy within the meaning  

of IFRS 7.27A:

Group Notes / Notes to the Consolidated Financial Position

In addition to the recognized fair value changes, losses on financial liabilities in the “held for trading” category also in-

clude the fair values of two interest rate swaps for which there were no hedged items in the course of the 2013 fiscal year. 

Derivative financial instruments 

With regard to the items in its statement of financial position and planned transactions, Fraport is, in particular, subject 

to interest rate and currency exchange risks. Fraport covers interest rate and currency risks by establishing naturally 

hedged positions, in which the values or cash flows of primary financial instruments offset each other in their timing 

and amount and/or by using derivative financial instruments to hedge the business transactions. Derivatives are not 

used for trading or speculative purposes.

Interest rate risks arise in particular from the capital requirements associated with capital expenditure and from exist-

ing floating interest rate financial liabilities and assets. As part of the interest rate risk management policy, interest rate 

derivatives were concluded in order to limit the interest rate risk arising from financial instruments with floating interest 

rates and assure planning security.

Within the Group, foreign currency risks mainly arise from revenue in foreign currencies, which are not covered by 

expenses in matching currencies. This results in a cash flow risk between foreign currency revenue and the functional 

currency. Fraport hedges such risks by entering into currency forwards.

As was the case in the previous year, the Group holds 50 interest rate swaps as at the reporting date. Furthermore, as 

was the case in the previous year, options were sold on five interest rate swaps in order to optimize financing costs. 

The value of the options was taken into account in the fair value of the interest rate swaps. Furthermore, there are four 

(previous year: nine) currency forwards.

A credit risk (counterparty risk) arises from positive fair values of derivative transactions that have been concluded. 

The total of all the positive fair values of the derivatives is also simultaneously equal to the maximum default risk of 

these business transactions. In accordance with financial risk guidelines, derivative contracts are only concluded with 

counterparties that have an investment grade rating in order to minimize the default and credit risks.

43 of the interest rate swaps are still assigned to existing floating-interest-rate liabilities.

As was the case in the previous year, a total of 43 interest rate swaps and the currency forwards are accounted for as 

cash flow hedges in accordance with IAS 39. Changes in the fair values of these instruments are recorded in an equity 

sub-account  without  affecting  profit  or  loss.  The  effectiveness  of  these  cash  flow  hedges  has  been  verified  and  is 

confirmed and documented at regular intervals. As was the case in the previous year, seven interest rate swaps were 

classified as “held for trading”. All gains or losses resulting from this classification are recorded through profit or loss.

The payments under the cash flow hedges become due in the following years. This is also the time when the respective  

hedged item affects profit or loss.

Unrealized gains of € 17.0 million were recorded in equity from the change in fair value of derivatives in the 2013 fiscal 

year (previous year: losses of € 62.0 million). During the year under review, losses of  € 38.1 million were transferred 

from equity to the financial result. In the previous year, losses of € 30.7 million were transferred to the financial result 

and € 1.0 million of gains were transferred to the operating result. In addition, the ineffectiveness of the interest rate 

swaps amounting to € 0.1 million was recorded through profit and loss as in the previous year.

The interest rate and currency swap, included in the previous year, expired and came off in December 2013.

Group Notes / Notes to the Segment Reporting

Notes to the segment reporting

Segment reporting in the Fraport Group according to IFRS 8 is based on internal reporting to the Executive Board  

as the primary decision-maker.

The same accounting principles as those used in the consolidated financial statements underlie segment reporting.

The strategic business units of Fraport AG in Frankfurt are clearly assigned to the Aviation, Retail & Real Estate and 

Ground  Handling  segments.  In  addition,  these  segments  include  Group  companies  integrated  in  the  business  

processes at the Frankfurt site. 

The Aviation segment incorporates the strategic business units “Airside and Terminal Management, Corporate Safety and 

Security” and “Airport Security Management” at the Frankfurt site. Furthermore, FraSec Fraport Security Services GmbH  

and FRA - Vorfeldkontrolle GmbH are assigned to this segment.

The Retail & Real Estate segment consists of the strategic business unit “Retail and Properties”, comprising the retailing 

activities, parking facility management and the rental and marketing of real estate at the Frankfurt site. In addition, the 

Group companies integrated into these activities on the Frankfurt site are allocated to the segment.

The Ground Handling segment combines the “Ground Services” strategic business unit and the Group companies 

involved in these operations at the Frankfurt site. 

The  External  Activities  &  Services  segment  encompasses  the  internal  service  units  of  “Facility  Management”  and 

“Central Infrastructure Management”, as well as “Information and Telecommunications” and their Group companies. 

Group companies that are not integrated in the processes at the Frankfurt site and Group companies that carry out 

their business operations outside of Frankfurt are also allocated to the External Activities & Services segment.

Corporate data at Fraport AG is divided into market-oriented business and service units on the one hand and into 

central units on the other hand. All the business and service units are allocated clearly to one segment each. The 

central units are categorized appropriately.

The data about the Group companies that are not integrated in the processes at the Frankfurt site and Group companies 

that carry out their business operations outside the Frankfurt site are allocated to the External Activities & Services 

segment during reporting. The Group companies that are integrated in the processes at the Frankfurt site are allocated 

to the relevant segment according to their business operations.

Inter-segment revenue is primarily generated by the inter-company allocation of rent for land, buildings and space, as 

well as maintenance services and energy supply by Fraport AG. The corresponding assets are allocated to the Retail 

& Real Estate segment. The relevant units are charged on the basis of the costs incurred, including imputed interest.

Inter-segment revenue also reflects revenue that has been generated between the companies included from different 

segments.

Goodwill from business mergers and the appropriate impairment losses, where applicable, have been allocated clearly 

to a segment according to the segment structure.

Fraport Annual Report 2013Group Notes / Notes to the Segment Reporting / Notes to the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows

155

The “adjustment” column of the segment assets/segment liabilities includes the income tax assets/liabilities (including 

the deferred tax assets/liabilities) of the Group.

In the additional disclosures “Geographical Information”, allocation is according to the current main areas of operation: 

Germany, rest of Europe, Asia and rest of the world. The figures shown under Asia relate mainly to Turkey and the 

People’s Republic of China. The figures shown under rest of the world relate mainly to the USA and Peru.

Depreciation and amortization for the segment assets include impairment losses according to IAS 36 in the amount 

of € 0.5 million (previous year: €0.3 million). Impairment losses are charged to the Aviation segment (previous year: 

Retail & Real Estate segment).

Segment assets of the Retail & Real Estate segment include real estate inventories of € 55.1 million (previous year: 

€ 57.4 million).

During  the  fiscal  year  2013,  revenue  of  € 871.4  million  was  generated  in  all  four  segments  from  one  customer  

(previous year: € 861.0 million). Further explanations about segment reporting can be found in the management report.

Notes to the consolidated statement of cash flows

Cash flow from operating activities

Cash  flow  from  operating  activities  of  € 574.8  million  (previous  year:  € 553.0  million)  resulted  with  € 807.1  million  

(previous year: € 809.8 million) from operating activities, with € 146.3 million (previous year: € 135.5 million) from 

financial activities and with € 86.0 million (previous year: € 121.3 million) from cash outflows for income taxes. 

Cash flow used in investing activities

Cash flow used in investing activities without investments in cash deposits and securities amounted to € 492.8 million 

in the reporting period, a decrease of € 243.4 million year-on-year. Major capital expenditure on property, plant and 

equipment was made as part of the airport expansion program and the extension projects at Frankfurt Airport.

The proceeds from the disposal of non-current and current securities and promissory note loans, investment of the free 

liquid funds in new financial assets and changes to cash and cash equivalents with a duration of more than three months 

resulted in cash flow used in investing activities of € 280.0 million, which was considerably below the previous year  

(€ 779.2 million). 

Cash flow used in (from) financing activities

Cash outflow from financing activities of € 255.1 million mainly resulted from the repayment of non-current financial 

liabilities (previous year: cash inflow in the amount of € 218.2 million).

The primary warranties and performance guarantees are explained below.

A performance guarantee, excluding recourse against Fraport AG, was signed between GMR Holdings Private Ltd., 

Fraport AG and ICICI Bank Ltd. to the amount of € 35.1 million (INR 3,000 million) to modernize, expand and operate 

Delhi Airport (India). If, however, the party to the contract, GMR Holdings Private Ltd., fails to meet its contractual 

obligations, Fraport AG’s liability may not be excluded given the fact that Fraport AG is party to the contract.

In connection with the terminal operation at Antalya Airport (Turkey), Fraport AG assumed a contract performance 

guarantee of € 35.6 million for the investment in the Antalya operating company. 

In the context of operating the airports in Varna and Burgas (Bulgaria), Fraport AG guaranteed the contractual per-

formance of its Group company Fraport Twin Star Airport Management AD, established in 2006, to the amount of 

€ 9.0 million. 

The existing performance guarantee related to the concession agreement for the operation of the airport in Lima, Peru, 

amounts to € 8.2 million (US-$11.3 million) as at the 2013 balance sheet date.

The performance guarantees include a joint and several liability to the Hong Kong Airport Authority in connection with 

the Tradeport Hong Kong Ltd. investment project amounting to € 3.8 million (US-$5.2 million).

The other warranties mainly include guarantees assumed by Fraport AG in connection with the contractual financing 

arrangements signed by the Antalya operating company. As a result, the Fraport Group incurred other commitments 

to the amount of € 29.5 million.

The other commitments include that Fraport AG is held liable to the amount of € 12.2 million for rentals payable by 

Lufthansa Cargo Aktiengesellschaft to Tectum 26. Vermögensverwaltungs GmbH, if Lufthansa Cargo Aktiengesellschaft 

exercises an extraordinary right to terminate the contract.

Other financial obligations include future expenses arising from rental agreements and leases. The contracts entered into 

relate to building rental agreements and the lease of equipment. The equipment leases showed an average remaining 

term of one year on the 2013 reporting date. The building rental agreements can generally be terminated at short notice.

In view of their economical content, the relevant leases qualify as operate leases, i.e. the leased asset is attributable 

to the lessor.  

In addition, there are other financial obligations in the amount of € 159.1 million (previous year: € 181.7 million).  

In addition to obligations from a long-term supply contract for the provision of cooling and heating (€ 84.8 million), 

these mainly consist of other financial obligations from a loan commitment to Northern Capital Gateway LCC to finance 

the development and modernization of Pulkovo Airport in St. Petersburg to the amount of € 45.4 million, as well as 

capital contribution obligations to finance capital expenditure for Delhi Indira Gandhi International Airport in India  

to the amount of € 17.6 million.

As at the balance sheet date, there were contingent liabilities at Lima from tax risks in the amount of € 11.0 million 

(previous year: € 10.7 million) as well as at Twin Star from penalties for obligations for capital expenditure in arrears in 

the amount of € 10.1 million (previous year: € 10.3 million).  

Revenue-related concession fees and additional obligations for capital expenditure of unspecified amounts on airport 

infrastructure have been agreed based on the existing concession agreements related to the operation of the airports 

in Varna and Burgas, Bulgaria (term until 2041) and Lima, Peru (minimum term until 2031) (see also note 49).

Stock options

Fraport Management Stock Options Plan 2005

In order to meet the requirements for variable compensation paid to Senior Managers, the Supervisory Board and 

the Executive Board resolved during fiscal year 2005 to submit a proposal to the AGM of Fraport AG for a new stock 

options plan (“Fraport Management Stock Options Plan 2005”, “MSOP 2005”).

Group Notes / Other Disclosures

On June 1, 2005, the AGM of Fraport AG passed a resolution to adopt the main points of this MSOP 2005 proposal 

and the necessary capital measures to implement the plan. On the whole, it was possible to issue a total volume  

not exceeding 1,515,000 stock options to all eligible employees until August 31, 2009 within the scope of the  

MSOP 2005.

The stock options could be granted to eligible beneficiaries once a year in up to five annual tranches. The prerequisite 

for participation in the MSOP 2005 was the direct investment in shares by employees entitled to participate (blocked 

deposit).

In accordance with the aforementioned resolution, the subscription rights can be satisfied either with shares issued 

on the basis of contingent capital or with treasury shares or by cash settlement.

The subscription rights for the MSOP 2005 can only be exercised after a vesting period of three years within a further 

period of two years.

The stock options under the MSOP 2005 can only be exercised if the closing price of the Fraport share on the trading 

day that immediately precedes the day of exercise (“valuation day”) exceeds the original exercise price by at least 20 %.

In contrast to the previous plan, the new plan not only includes an absolute exercise limit but also a relative exercise 

limit linked to the performance of a specific stock basket. The amount of the resulting profit attributable to the benefi-

ciary arising from the exercise of stock options is also limited. Thus, 150 % of the original exercise price for each stock 

option must not be exceeded.

The  conditions  to  exercise  the  first  tranche  of  the  MSOP  2005  were  first  met  in  the  2008  fiscal  year,  when  

44,700 options were drawn. In fiscal year 2010, 132,700 options expired because the exercise limit was not reached, 

while 20,900 options expired during the entire exercise period due to job terminations.

The vesting period for the second tranche of the MSOP 2005 ended on April 18, 2009. However, the requirements for 

exercising this tranche were not met, also as a result of the exercise limit. 148,300 options therefore expired in fiscal 

year 2011. Another 68,100 options expired in the exercise period due to job terminations. 

The  vesting  period  for  the  third  tranche  of  the  MSOP  2005  ended  on  April  17,  2010.  However,  in  common  with 

the previous tranche, the requirements for exercising this tranche were not met, also as a result of the exercise limit. 

187,150 options therefore expired in fiscal year 2012. Another 32,800 options expired in the exercise period due to 

job terminations.

The vesting period for the fourth tranche of the MSOP 2005 ended on June 3, 2011. The requirements for exercising 

this tranche were not met, also as a result of the exercise limit. 188,350 options therefore expired in fiscal year 2013. 

Another 61,600 options already expired in the exercise period in the previous year due to job terminations.  

The vesting period for the fifth tranche of the MSOP 2005 ended on April 10, 2012. The requirements for exercising 

this tranche were met. 224,250 options have been exercised so far, of which 22,600 in fiscal year 2013. 25,000 options 

have already expired in previous years due to job terminations and so there are currently 9,250 options left. This is 

approximately 3.6 % of the options originally issued.

As  the  authorization  to  issue  subscription  rights  expired  in  2009,  no  further  stock  options  were  issued  in  the  

years 2010 to 2013.

For more information on contingent capital, see note 31.

Personnel expenses in the amount of € 0.2 million were ultimately incurred through the MSOP 2005 in 2012. This amount  

was recognized in the capital reserve.

Recognition of the stock options through profit or loss is based on the fair value of each option of a tranche. A Monte Carlo  

simulation is used to determine fair value. In the process, the log-normal distributed processes of the Fraport share price 

and the MSOP basket price are simulated to mirror, based on the performance targets, the respective performance of 

the Fraport share and the comparative index and the increase in the closing price of the Fraport share by at least 20 % 

versus the original exercise price. 

The computation of whether the Fraport share outperforms or underperforms the index is made on the basis of a total 

shareholder return; i.e. on the basis of the respective share performance, taking into account cash dividends, subscription 

rights, capital adjustments and other exceptional rights. In addition, the Monte Carlo simulation allows for taking into 

account, an early exercise, taking into account the blocked periods and the early exercise procedure for those entitled.

The fair value of all options to be measured in fiscal year 2013 was computed on the following basis.

Interest rate

The basis of the computations on the valuation date was a continuous zero interest rate. The interest rates were 

computed from the interest rate structures of government bonds maturing between one and ten years.

Dividends

Discrete dividends are used in the Monte Carlo simulation. The computation basis for future dividend payments 

is public estimates made by ten banks. The arithmetic mean of these estimates is taken to determine the dividends.

Volatilities and correlation

To ensure an objective procedure, historic data is used to measure volatilities and correlations. They are determined 

on the basis of the daily XETRA closing prices of the Fraport share and the daily prices of the MSOP basket index. The 

price history of the index was computed using the current weighting of the index as at the grant date and taking into 

consideration the historical closing prices of the index components.

The time frame for determining volatilities and correlations is the remaining maturity of the options.

Long-Term Incentive Program (LTIP)

The LTIP for the Executive Board and Senior Managers was introduced effective January 1, 2010, to replace the previous 

MSOP 2005.

A certain number of virtual shares (so-called performance shares) is allocated annually depending on certain perfor-

mance objectives. Target achievement is measured over four years (performance period); payment in cash takes place 

immediately at the end of the four year performance period.

The number of virtual shares actually allocated depends on the extent to which the performance targets are met:

 > Earnings per share (EPS) (target weighting 70%)

This internal performance target is determined by comparing the actual average EPS in the performance period with 

the weighted average plan EPS at the time of awarding.

 > Rank total shareholder return MDAX (TSR) (target weighting 30 %)

The TSR measures the development of shares over a certain period of time subject to dividends and share price 

developments. Therefore, it constitutes a market-dependent performance target.

The amount of the actual tranche is limited to 150 % of the target tranche (virtual shares awarded). 

A  total  of  82,850  virtual  shares  were  issued  in  the  2013  fiscal  year.  A  provision  for  the  LTIP  in  the  amount  of  

€ 12.0 million (previous year: € 5.9 million) is reported as at December 31, 2013.

Expense reported in fiscal year 2013 amount to €6.1 million (previous year: € 3.0 million).

Virtual share conditions

The virtual shares in the 2013 tranche were issued on January 1, 2013. Their term is four years up to December 31, 2016.

The payout per virtual share corresponds to the weighted average closing price of the Fraport share in XETRA trading 

on the first 30 stock market trading days immediately following the last day of the performance period.

Entitlement to LTIP payments is established by the approval by the Supervisory Board of the consolidated financial 

statements for the last fiscal year of the performance period. Payments are then made within one month.

The valuation of the virtual shares takes place on the basis of the fair value per share for a tranche. A Monte Carlo 

simulation is used to determine the fair value. In the process, the log-normal distributed processes of the Fraport share 

price are simulated to determine the relevant payment according to the respective performance targets.

The fair value of virtual shares to be measured in the 2010 to 2013 fiscal years was calculated based on the following 

assumptions:

The basis of the computations on the respective valuation date was a continuous zero interest rate. The interest rates 

were computed from the interest rate structures of government bonds maturing between one and ten years.

The computation basis for future dividend payments is public estimates made by ten banks. The arithmetic mean 

of these estimates is taken to determine the dividends. 

Historic volatility is used for the calculations. The calculations are based on the daily XETRA closing price for Fraport AG. 

The remaining term of the LTIP is used as the time horizon to determine volatility.

Risk management

Fraport is exposed to market price risks mainly due to changes in exchange rates and interest rates. The Group is 

additionally exposed to credit risks. There are also liquidity risks arising in connection with credit and market price risks 

or resulting from a worsening of the operating business or disturbances on the financial markets. It is the objective of 

financial risk management to limit these risks by current operating and finance-related activities. Depending on a risk 

assessment, selected hedging instruments are used. In general, Fraport hedges only those risks that affect the Group’s 

cash flows. Derivative financial instruments are used as hedging instruments; i.e. they are not used for trading purposes. 

Reporting to the Executive Board of risk positions is made once per quarter as part of the early risk recognition system. 

In addition, updated reporting of all material financial risk positions is provided in the monthly finance report to the 

Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and in the monthly Treasury Committee Meeting held between the Treasury, Financial 

Risk Controlling and the CFO.

Fraport has prepared internal guidelines that deal with the processes of risk control and regulate the use of financial 

instruments; they include the unambiguous segregation of functions in respect of operating financial activities, their 

settlement and accounting and the controlling of the financial instruments. The guidelines, which are the basis of the 

risk management processes, aim to limit and control the risks appropriately and monitor them. Both the guidelines 

and the systems are regularly reviewed and adjusted to current market and product developments. 

Credit risk

Fraport is subject to default risks from its operating business and certain financial positions. The default risks arising from 

financial positions are controlled by a broad diversification of counterparties and issuers, as well as regular verification 

of their credit ratings. It is Fraport’s risk policy that financial assets and derivative transactions are only carried out with 

issuers and counterparties with an investment grade credit rating. If the credit rating is downgraded to non-investment 

grade during the asset’s holding period or the term of the derivative, a decision will be made on a case-by-case basis 

on how to deal with the asset or derivative in future, taking into account the remaining term.

The maximum credit risk on the balance sheet date is mainly reflected by the carrying amounts of the assets reported in 

the financial position. The credit risk on securities and promissory note loans in non-current and current assets is equal 

to the amount of debt instruments. As at the 2013 balance sheet date, the breakdown of the securities was as follows:

Liquidity risk

Fraport generates financial funds mainly through its operating business and external financing. The funds are primarily 

used to finance capital expenditure for items of property, plant and equipment. 

The operating cash flows, the available liquid funds (including cash and cash equivalents and short-term realizable 

securities and other financial instruments), as well as current and non-current credit lines and loan commitments, give 

sufficient flexibility to ensure the liquidity of the Fraport Group. 

Given the diversity both of the financing sources and the liquid funds and financial assets, there is no risk of concentration  

in the liquidity.

Group Notes / Other Disclosures

The operating liquidity management comprises a cash concentration process, which, on a daily basis, combines the 

liquid funds of most of the Group companies headquartered in Germany. This allows optimum control of liquidity 

surpluses and requirements in line with the needs of individual Group companies. Short and medium-term liquidity 

management includes the maturities of financial assets and financial liabilities and estimates of the operating cash flow.

The following list of maturities shows how the liability cash flows as at December 31, 2013 influence the Group’s

All financial instruments that are subject to contractual agreements as at the 2013 reporting date were included to 

determine the undiscounted payments. If a contractual partner can release a payment at different points of time, the 

earliest deadline was taken into account. The respective forward interest rates derived from the interest rate as at the 

balance sheet date were used to determine the interest payments on primary financial liabilities bearing interest at 

floating rates and the net payments on derivative financial instruments. Interest and redemption payments in foreign 

currency are converted into the respective forward rate valid as at the balance sheet date. For payments in connection 

with currency forwards, the corresponding fixed reference prices as at the balance sheet date were used.

Financial liabilities of certain Group companies abroad arising from independent project financing with a nominal value 

of € 317.3 million include numerous of credit clauses that are typical for this type of financing. These clauses include 

inter alia regulations under which certain debt service coverage ratios and key figures for debt ratios and credit periods 

must be complied with. Failure to comply with the agreed credit clauses may lead to restrictions on the distribution 

of dividends and/or to the early redemption of loans or to the additional payment of equity. Additionally, there are 

contractually agreed credit clauses for specific earmarked and/or project-related public loans issued by public business  

development banks and taken out by Fraport AG in the amount of € 1,110.0 million. These clauses relate, among other 

things, to changes in the shareholder structure and control of the company. If these have a proven effect on the borrowing  

capacity of Fraport AG, the creditors have the right to recall the loans early.

There are currently no indications of any failure to comply with the essential agreed borrowing terms and conditions.

Currency risk

The international focus of the Fraport Group makes its operating business, the financial results reported and the cash 

flows subject to foreign currency fluctuation risks. Only the transaction risks affecting cash flows are actively controlled. 

These mainly apply between the € and Turkish New Lira (TRY) or Saudi Riyal (SAR), as well as between the US Dollar 

(US-$) and Peruvian New Sol (PEN). Transaction risks primarily originate from business operations when cash receipts 

from revenue are not offset by expenditure in matching currencies. To reduce the foreign currency effects in the op-

erating business, the transaction risk is assessed on an ongoing basis and hedged in part by using derivative financial 

instruments.  Entering  into  financial  instrument  transactions  is  the  responsibility  of  the  Group  companies  in  close 

coordination with the Treasury of Fraport AG. Hedging mainly involves the use of currency forwards. 

Transaction risks are assessed by means of sensitivity analysis. The calculation rates on which the analysis are based 

are the result of the mean value for the respective exchange rate in the period under review, less or in addition to a 

standard deviation. Taking these assumptions as a basis, the profit for the period would have been affected in the year 

under review as follows:

There are no essential sensitivities in relation to shareholders’ equity.

In addition, there are effects in the Group from the translation of foreign currency assets or liabilities in € and/or from 

the consolidation of Group companies not accounted for in €. These translational risks are met as far as possible by 

applying natural hedging.

Group Notes / Other Disclosures

Interest rate risk

The Fraport Group is exposed to interest rate risks on a variety of primary and derivative financial assets and liabilities, 

as well as future planned capital requirements. 

In regard to assets and liabilities that are currently held, the objective of refinancing at matching maturities is generally 

pursued. The interest rate risk arising in the next twelve months is relevant for control. Therefore, it is assessed every 

quarter and reported to the financial risk committee. Sensitivity analyses are prepared to determine the risk. These 

show the effects of changes in market interest rates on interest payments, interest income and expenses, other profit 

or loss portions and shareholders’ equity. Interest rate changes are defined to be the maximum fluctuation of the key 

interest rate in the past for the respective currency and the respective period of time and/or the maximum fluctuation 

of the ten year swap rate in the past. The deviation in absolute terms is taken into consideration. 

To limit the interest rate risks, derivative financial instruments, such as interest rate swaps and swaptions, are used.

The sensitivity analyses are based on the following assumptions:

Changes in market interest rates of primary financial instruments with fixed interest rates affect profit or loss, or equity,  

only if the instruments are measured at fair value. The sensitivity analysis for these financial instruments assumes  

a parallel shift of the interest rate by 169 basis points over a period of twelve months.

The financial instruments measured at amortized cost with fixed interest rates do not affect profit or loss for the period 

or the equity of the Fraport Group.

Market interest rate changes of primary floating-rate financial instruments, which are not designated hedged items  

in a cash flow hedge of interest rate exposures, affect the interest result and are therefore included in the calculation 

of profit or loss related sensitivities. The respective net financial position for each currency is taken into account in 

the process. The interest rate sensitivity analyses are based on the following assumptions: €: 3.25 percentage points; 

US-$:  4.75  percentage  points;  TRY:  10.25  percentage  points;  Swiss  francs  (CHF):  2.50  percentage  points;  PEN:  

7.10 percentage points; SAR: 4.50 percentage points; Canadian Dollar (CAD): 3.75 percentage points; Bulgarian Lew 

(BGN): 5.22 percentage points. The individual sensitivities are then aggregated to become one profit or loss related 

sensitivity in €.  

Changes in market interest rates of financial instruments which were designated as hedging instruments in an interest 

rate related cash flow hedge affect equity and are therefore included in the equity-related sensitivity computations. 

The maximum variability is taken to be a parallel shift of the interest rate curve by 169 basis points over a period of 

twelve months.  

Changes in market interest rates of interest rate derivatives, which are not part of a hedging relationship according to 

IAS 39, affect the other financial result and are therefore included in the profit or loss related sensitivities. The maximum 

variability is taken to be a parallel shift of the interest rate curve by 169 basis points over a period of twelve months.

Based on the portfolios and the structure of the consolidated financial position as at December 31, 2013 and the  

assumptions made, the profit or loss related sensitivity is €0.4 million in the event of an increase (decrease) in the market  

interest  rate  (previous  year:  € 8.1  million).  This  means  that  the  financial  result  could  hypothetically  have  increased 

(decreased) by € 0.4 million. This hypothetical effect on profit or loss would have resulted from the potential effects of 

interest rate derivatives of € 20.2 million (previous year: € 25.3 million) and an increase (decrease) in the interest result 

from primary floating-rate net financial positions of – € 19.8 million (previous year: –€ 17.2 million).

Capital management

The Group’s objectives with a view to capital management are ensuring the company’s continued existence and a 

sustained increase in the company’s value. As a capital market-oriented company with continuing capital expenditure 

requirements, Fraport monitors the development of its financial debt using ratios, which relate EBITDA to net financial 

debt and/or interest expense. As long as the company remains within the following margins, Fraport’s present view is 

that there is sufficient access to debt capital sources at reasonable costs.

The components of the control indicators are defined as follows:

Operating permit and service concession agreements

The following Group companies in the Fraport Group have been granted service concessions or similar permits, which 

give the public access to important economic and social facilities: 

Fraport AG

In agreement with the German Federal Minister of Transport, the Minister of Labor, Economics and Transport for 

the State of Hesse approved operations at Frankfurt am Main Airport in accordance with Section 7 as amended on  

August 21, 1936, of the German Air Traffic Act on December 20, 1957. This permit does not expire at any specific time 

and was last amended by the decision of October 29, 2012 based on the outcome of the zoning decision process for 

the expansion of the airport, in particular regarding the Northwest Landing Runway, taking into account the relevant 

ruling of the German Federal Administrative High Court.

The right to operate the airport is linked to various obligations that are specified in the permit. Fraport AG is required, 

among other things, to keep the airport in good operating condition at all times, to provide and maintain the equipment  

and signs needed to monitor and control air traffic at the airport and to guarantee the availability of fire prevention 

and protection systems that take account of the special operating conditions. The restrictions on night flights that 

were initially imposed in 1971 and subsequently updated have been tightened by the aforementioned amendment 

and extension to the permit. Daytime operational restrictions on aircraft for civil aviation purposes at Frankfurt Main 

Airport that do not comply with the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) noise protection regulations have 

been further tightened. Furthermore, there are statutory requirements for passive noise abatement and outdoor living 

area compensation as a result of the construction work for the airport expansion and the Northwest Landing Runway.

The company charges airlines that fly to Frankfurt Main Airport what are known as “traffic charges” for provision of the 

transport infrastructure. These traffic charges are broken down into airport charges that require approval and other 

charges that do not require approval.

 > The airport charges that require approval according to Section 19b of the German Air Traffic Law (LuftVG) are divided 
into take-off and landing charges, including noise components and emission charges, parking charges and passenger 

and security charges as well as charges for the financing of passive noise abatement measures (noise surcharges). 

The amount of the charges is specified in a related charge table.

Already on February 19, 2010, an agreement was reached on airport charges for 2012 to 2015 by Fraport AG and 

airline representatives. The contract stipulates an annual charge increase by 2.9 % for each year until 2015. If passenger 

development exceeds or falls below the forecasted figures, the contract calls for a bonus/malus approach to be used.

The charge table effective January 1, 2013 was approved by the HMWVL and published in the Air Transport Bulletin 

(NfL). In addition, charges for the financing of passive noise abatement measures (noise surcharges) have been levied 

since July 1, 2012 (see also note 25). Airport charges accounted for 35.67 % (previous year: 35.48 %) of Fraport AG’s  

revenue in the year under review.

Furthermore, Fraport proposed an incentive program for the years 2014 and 2015, which was approved by the 

HMWVL on December 4, 2013. It provides for retroactive discounts per departing passenger when the airlines have 

reached a minimum passenger quantity as well as a minimum level of growth and when the passenger travels via 

low-noise aircraft.

Group Notes / Other Disclosures

 > The remaining charges not subject to approval are classified as charges for central ground handling infrastructure 
facilities  and  ground  handling  charges.  In  accordance  with  EU  regulations,  ground  services  on  the  apron  were 

opened up to competition on November 1, 1999 (opened up in practice on April 15, 2000), by issuing a permit 

to another third-party ground handling company along with Fraport AG. The services in the area of central ground 

handling infrastructure facilities continue to be excluded from competition (monopoly sector) and are completely 

segregated from the ground handling services when they are offset with the airlines. Of Fraport AG’s revenue in 

2013, 16.52 % (previous year: 17.18 %) was generated by ground handling services and 13.51 % (previous year: 

13.53 %) by infrastructure charges.

Above and beyond the traffic charges, Fraport AG generates revenue essentially from revenue-based payments, renting 

and parking and security services. The proceeds from these operations – which do not require approval – accounted 

for 34.30 % (previous year: 33.81 %) of Fraport AG’s entire revenue in the year under review. 

Fraport IC Ictas Antalya Airport Terminal Investment and Management Inc. (franchisee)

In April 2007, the consortium in which Fraport AG holds an interest won the bidding procedure to operate the ter-

minals at Antalya Airport for 17 years. The consortium and the Turkish airport authority (DHMI – franchisor) signed 

the concession agreement on May 22, 2007. Since September 14, 2007, Fraport AG and IC Yatirim Holding A.S. have 

been jointly managing the International Terminal 1 previously managed by Fraport AG, as well as the domestic and 

CIP terminals. On September 23, 2009, the Fraport consortium also took over operation of the second international 

terminal previously operated by IC Holding and Celebi Holding. The concession for the operation of all three terminals 

and the right to use all assets listed in the concession agreement extends to the end of 2024. 

The franchisee is obliged in this context to provide terminal services in compliance with international standards, as 

well as the procedures and principles specified in the concession agreement. With regard to the authorized use of 

infrastructure, the franchisee is obligated to perform maintenance and capacity expansions (as required). Distributed 

over the term of the concession agreement, the franchisee also pays a concession fee of € 2.01 billion net.

In exchange, the franchisee receives the right to use the existing and future terminal infrastructure to operate the 

airport and the right to generate revenue from passenger charges paid by the airlines and from other services related 

to terminal operations. Passenger charges are regulated by the franchisor. 

At the end of the concession term, the franchisee is required to return all assets specified in the concession agreement 

to the franchisor in proper operating condition. 

In  accordance  with  the  concession  agreement,  the  franchisee  deposited  a  performance  bond  amounting  to  

€ 142.8 million at the beginning of the concession period for the benefit of the franchisor. This performance bond was 

issued by a Turkish bank, secured in part by corporate guarantees given by the shareholders. The proportion guaran-

teed to the bank by Fraport AG in the form of a corporate guarantee was € 35.7 million. Following official approval of 

the new domestic terminal (Terminal 3) by the franchisor, the performance bond was reduced to € 142.3 million as 

agreed. The proportion guaranteed by Fraport AG thus amounts to € 35.6 million.

Fraport Twin Star Airport Management AD

Fraport Twin Star Airport Management AD (franchisee) and the Republic of Bulgaria (franchisor), represented by its 

Minister of Transport, signed a concession agreement on September 10, 2006, for the operation and management of 

the Bulgarian airports in Varna and Burgas on the Black Sea. 

According to the concession agreement, the franchisee is obligated to render various airport services and to improve 

services in line with international standards, national laws and the provisions stipulated in the concession agreement. 

In addition, the franchisee is obligated to invest €  243.3 million in the expansion and a capacity increase of the airports 

in Varna and Burgas and to maintain the assets ceded for use. In addition, the franchisee pays an annual concession 

fee of 19.2 % of total revenue, at least 19.2 % of BGN 57 million (€ 29.1 million), adjusted for the development of the 

Fraport Annual Report 2013Group Notes / Other Disclosures

national inflation rate, to the franchisor. The franchisee paid an additional non-recurring concession fee in the amount 

of € 3.0 million to the franchisor after the agreement was signed. In return, the franchisee receives the right to use the 

existing and future infrastructure for airport operations and the right to generate revenue, in particular through airport 

charges (passenger, landing and parking charges) and for ground handling services. Airport charges are regulated 

by the franchisor.

The concession agreement started on November 10, 2006 and has a duration of 35 years.

The franchisee is obligated to furnish the franchisor with a performance bond issued by a bank rated BB – or higher, in 

the annual amount of € 15.0 million in the first ten years and in the annual amount of € 7.5 million during the remaining  

term of the agreement.  

At the end of the concession term, the infrastructure pursuant to the contract that is essential for airport operations 

must be returned to the franchisor in proper operating condition without receiving any consideration in return.

Lima Airport Partners S.R.L. (LAP)

On February 14, 2001, LAP (franchisee) and the Peruvian Government (franchisor), represented by its Minister of 

Transportation  (MTC),  signed  the  concession  agreement  for  Jorge  Chávez  International  Airport  for  the  operation, 

expansion, maintenance and use of the Jorge Chávez International Airport in Lima (Peru).

The term of the concession agreement is 30 years. The contract may be renewed for another ten years. Further renewals 

are possible under certain conditions; the overall concession term must not exceed 60 years, however. 

In addition to operating and maintaining the airport infrastructure, the franchisee is obligated vis-a-vis the franchisor 

to invest at least US-$100 million for the remodeling of the airport, in particular, the terminal and to build a second 

landing runway. The contractual amount of US-$100 million has been invested already. Construction work on the 

second landing runway has not yet begun.

The franchisee is also obligated to pay concession fees. The concession fee is the higher of two amounts: either the 

contractually fixed minimum payment (basic payment of US-$15 million per year, adjusted for inflation by US CPI) or 

46.511 % of total revenue after deduction and transfer to Corpac (Aviation Regulatory Authority) of 50 % of the landing 

charges and 20 % of the international passenger charges (TUUA). In addition, a regulatory charge of 1 % of the same 

assessment basis is payable. In return, the franchisee receives the right to use the existing and future infrastructure for 

airport operations and the right to generate revenue, in particular through airport charges (passenger, landing and 

parking charges) and for ground handling and other services. Airport charges are regulated by the franchisor.

At the end of the contract term, the infrastructure pursuant to the contract that is essential for airport operations must 

be returned to the franchisor by the franchisee in the contractually defined operational condition. The franchisee has 

the right to have the residual carrying amount of said infrastructure reimbursed by the franchisor for a limited period 

of time. This does not apply if the concession agreement is terminated early.

Information concerning the Executive Board, Supervisory Board and 
Economic Advisory Board

Remuneration Report

The following remuneration report describes the main features of the remuneration system for the Executive Board 

and Supervisory Board of Fraport AG in accordance with the statutory regulations and the recommendations of the 

German Corporate Governance Code (GCGC) as amended on May 13, 2013. It summarizes which principles apply 

in determining the total compensation of the members of the Executive Board and explains the structure and amount 

of the remuneration of the Executive Board and Supervisory Board members.

Remuneration of the Executive Board members in fiscal year 2013
Remuneration system

Executive Board remuneration is set by the Supervisory Board upon the recommendation of its executive committee 

and is reviewed on a regular basis. The remuneration of the Executive Board members of Fraport AG shall be in propor-

tion to the tasks of the position and the company’s situation and in line with a transparent and sustainable corporate 

governance approach which focuses on the long-term.

Compensation is comprised as follows:

 > Non-performance-related components (fixed salary and compensation in kind)
 > Performance-related components with a short- and mid-term incentive effect (bonus)
 > Performance-related components with a long-term incentive effect 
(Long-Term Strategy Award and Long-Term Incentive Program)

Generally, the Supervisory Board has been guided by the principle that in the ordinary course of business, members of 

the Executive Board shall receive a fixed annual salary, which makes up approximately 35 % of total compensation. The 

bonus payment should also amount to approximately 35 % of total compensation. The Long-Term Strategy Award should 

account for approximately 10 % of total compensation and the share of the Long-Term Incentive Program about 20 %. 

In order to comply with the remuneration-related amendments of the GCGC in the version dated May 13, 2013, with 

effect starting in fiscal year 2014, a maximum limit was defined with each Executive Board member for the sum of 

the aforementioned respective remuneration components. For the Chairman of the Executive Board this amounts to  

€ 2.3 million and € 1.65 million for the other members of the Executive Board. This maximum limit also applies in relation 

Fraport Annual Report 2013Group Notes / Other Disclosures

175

to the remuneration that was granted during the previous fiscal years 2010 to 2013, the components of which have 

not yet been fully paid out.

In  addition  to  the  aforementioned  remuneration  components,  there  are  still  stock  options  outstanding,  issued  in 

previous years, that have a long-term incentive effect as part of the stock options plan still running (see also note 45). 

The last time stock options were issued was in 2009. In addition, Executive Board members received contributions 

for pension benefit commitments. The pension commitments, including performance-related contributions, are in 

a fixed proportion to the respective fixed gross annual salary and are therefore subject to implicit maximum limits.

Non-performance-related components

During the term of their employment agreement (generally five years), Executive Board members, as a rule, receive  

a fixed annual salary for the entire period. 

The amount of the fixed annual salary is reviewed on a regular basis, generally annually, to ensure that it is appropriate. 

The fixed annual compensation also covers any activity performed by an Executive Board member for companies in 

which Fraport AG holds an indirect or a direct interest of more than 25 % (so-called “other board mandates related 

to Group companies”). 

If an Executive Board member has such other board mandates at Group companies, the compensation he or she 

receives from such companies is credited against the remuneration. The compensation received by Dr Zieschang 

for his activities performed as a member of the Supervisory Board of Flughafen Hannover-Langenhagen GmbH was 

credited against his remuneration of 2013 from Fraport AG. 

In addition, the compensation for Executive Board members includes compensation in kind and other payments  

(ancillary benefits). Compensation in kind is the pecuniary benefit subject to income tax from using a company car with 

driver. This compensation in kind is generally available to all Executive Board members in the same way; the amount 

of compensation depends on the personal situation. 

Executive Board members also receive half of the total contributions toward their pension insurance in the case of 

voluntary insurance and in the case of statutory insurance, half of the total statutory contributions.

Performance-related components
Without a long-term incentive effect (bonus)

The bonus is dependent on EBITDA and ROFRA of the Fraport Group for the respective fiscal year. EBITDA is the Group 

operating result, ROFRA the interest on Group assets; i.e. the total return on capital (“return on Fraport assets”). Both key 

figures (EBITDA and ROFRA) are recognized business management parameters for measuring the success of a company. 

The actual bonus for an Executive Board member is calculated by multiplying EBITDA and ROFRA, each minus a basic 

allowance, by an individual multiplier for each Executive Board member, stipulated in each employment contract and 

adding the aforementioned parameters. The bonus amount for one fiscal year is capped at 175 % of the bonus paid for 

2009 or if the member was appointed during the year or the employment contract was amended in 2009, an amount 

extrapolated for the entire year. For Executive Board members appointed as of 2012 the maximum bonus amount 

for a fiscal year is limited to 140 % of the bonus calculated pro forma for fiscal year 2011. 50 % of anticipated bonus 

payments are paid out monthly during the fiscal year. The remaining bonus payments are payable within one month 

after the Supervisory Board has approved the respective consolidated financial statements. 

50 % of the calculated bonus payments have a conditional payback provision. If EBITDA and ROFRA in the following year 

do not reach at least an average of 70 % of the corresponding key figure for the fiscal year in question, the Executive 

Board member has to pay back 30 % of the bonus to Fraport AG. Should the same apply to the second year after the 

relevant fiscal year, 20 % of the bonus has to be repaid. A possible repayment obligation exists for each following year 

separately and must be individually reviewed each year for compliance. 

Further InformationConsolidated Financial StatementsFraport Annual Report 20131 7 6

Group Notes / Other Disclosures

If the Supervisory Board is of the opinion that the relevant business figures have decreased due to influences outside 

of the Executive Board’s control, it can grant a bonus at its discretion or waive the full or partial repayment, based on 

the Executive Board member’s performance. If an Executive Board member holds an active position for less than one 

fiscal year, a pro rata bonus payment is made.

With a long-term incentive effect (Long-Term Strategy Award, LSA)

The LSA creates an additional long-term incentive effect that takes into reasonable consideration the long-term interests 

of the main stakeholders of Fraport AG, specifically employees, customers and shareholders. 

As part of the LSA, each Executive Board member is promised a prospective financial reward for one fiscal year – the 

first being in 2010 for the year 2013. After three fiscal years have expired (the fiscal year in question and the two 

following years), the extent to which the targets have been met is determined and the actual payment is calculated 

based on these results. The paid amount can exceed or fall below the prospective amount but is capped at 125 % of 

the originally stated amount. Performance targets are customer satisfaction, sustained employee development and 

share performance. All three targets are equally important under the LSA. As in the previous year, for 2016 a prospec-

tive sum of € 120 thousand has been promised to the Chairman of the Executive Board, while a prospective sum of 

€ 90 thousand each has been promised to the other members of the Executive Board. Michael Müller and Anke Giesen 

participate in the Plan Award for 2011 and 2012 on a pro rata basis.

Customer satisfaction is evaluated on an annual basis using an established assessment system for airlines, real estate 

management, retail properties and passengers. Whether or not a target has been met is determined by comparing 

the corresponding data (in percentage points) at the beginning of the three-year period with the average achieved 

over the same period. If the actual result exceeds or falls below the target by two full percentage points, the bonus 

paid for customer satisfaction is increased or decreased correspondingly. 

Sustained employee development relates to employee satisfaction and the changes in headcount. The Supervisory 

Board decides the extent to which the target has been met. Its decision is based on the results of the employee satisfaction 

barometer (a survey among Fraport AG employees carried out annually or at least every two years) and the responsible 

development of headcount in view of the economic situation of the Group.

For the share performance target, the Fraport share price development over the corresponding three-year period is 

compared with the average development of the MDAX and a share basket, which includes the shares of the opera-

tors of the Paris, Zurich and Vienna airports. The payment for this share performance target is again determined by 

comparing the reference value calculated at the beginning of the three-year period with the actual development. 

Positive or negative deviations increase or decrease the prospective bonus correspondingly.

Entitlement to LSA payments is established by approval by the Supervisory Board of the consolidated financial state-

ments for the last fiscal year of the performance period.

If an Executive Board member leaves Fraport AG before the end of a three-year period, the performance targets for 

such an Executive Board member are not calculated until after this period has expired. The award for the entire period 

is then paid on a pro rata basis for the amount of time the Executive Board member actually worked for the company. 

There is no right to payment for a three-year period which has not yet expired at the time the employment contract has 

been legally terminated due to extraordinary circumstances that are within the control of the Executive Board member 

(termination by request of the Executive Board member without cause pursuant to Section 626 of the German Civil 

Code (BGB), termination for cause within the control of the Executive Board member in accordance with Section 626 

(BGB) or if the Executive Board member has been removed from his or her office for cause pursuant to Section 84 (3) 

of the AktG. If an Executive Board member joins the company during the course of a fiscal year, the Supervisory Board 

decides if and to what extent the Executive Board member is entitled to participate in the LSA program for this fiscal year.

Long-Term Incentive Program (LTIP)

The LTIP is a virtual stock options program. Beginning in fiscal year 2010, the Executive Board members of Fraport AG 

are promised each fiscal year a contractually stipulated amount of virtual shares within their employment agreements, 

so-called performance shares, on the condition that and depending on whether they meet pre-defined performance 

targets (the so-called “target tranche”). After four fiscal years – the performance period – it will be determined to 

what extent these performance targets have been met and the number of performance shares actually due to the 

Executive Board member, the so-called actual tranche. The actual tranche can exceed or fall below the target tranche 

but is capped at 150 % of the target tranche. 

The two performance targets “earnings per share” (EPS) and “rank total shareholder return MDAX” are relevant for 

deriving the actual tranche from the target tranche, with earnings per share (EPS) being weighted at 70 % and rank 

total shareholder return MDAX at 30 %. For the fiscal year 2013, as in the previous year, 9,000 performance shares 

were allocated to Dr Stefan Schulte as a target tranche, while Peter Schmitz and Dr Matthias Zieschang each received 

6,850 performance shares. For the fiscal year 2013, 6,850 performance shares were allocated to Anke Giesen and 

3,550 were allocated to Michael Müller. 

In order to determine to what extent the EPS performance target has been met, the weighted average target EPS during 

the performance period, based on the strategic development planning applicable at the time of the award, is compared 

with the average EPS actually achieved during the performance period. For the evaluation to what extent the target 

has been met, the target EPS for the first fiscal year accounts for 40 %, the second for 30 %, the third for 20 % and the 

fourth for 10 %. If targets have been met 100 % over the performance period, the actual tranche corresponds to the 

target tranche. If the actual EPS differs from the target EPS, the number of allocated performance shares is adjusted 

accordingly. If the actual EPS falls below the target EPS by more than 25 percentage points, no performance shares 

are issued for the EPS performance target. If the actual EPS falls below the target EPS by 25 percentage points, the 

actual tranche amounts to 50 % of the target tranche. If the actual EPS exceeds the target EPS by 25 percentage points, 

the actual tranche amounts to 150 % of the target tranche. Intermediate values can be calculated using a straight-line 

method. Any performance exceeding the targets by more than 25 percentage points is not taken into account.

The  extent  to  which  the  rank  total  shareholder  return  MDAX  performance  target  has  been  met  is  calculated  by 

determining the weighted average rank of Fraport AG amongst all companies listed in the MDAX in relation to the 

total shareholder return (share price development and dividends) over the performance period. Just as with the EPS 

performance target, the four relevant fiscal years will be weighted downwards. The actual tranche shall equal the 

target tranche if Fraport AG, during the performance period, ranks number 25 among total shareholder return MDAX 

with its weighted average. For each rank exceeding or falling below 25, the actual tranche is increased or reduced 

by 2.5 percentage points. If Fraport AG ranks worse than 45, no performance shares will be issued for the rank total 

shareholder return MDAX performance target; if Fraport AG ranks better than five, there will not be a further increase 

in the number of performance shares issued over fifth place.

The relevant share price used for calculating the LTIP payment shall correspond to the weighted average of the 

company’s closing share prices in XETRA or a similarly situated trading system at the Frankfurt Stock Exchange dur-

ing the first 30 trading days immediately subsequent to the last day of the performance period. For the performance 

shares issued in 2013 and in previous fiscal years, the relevant share price for calculating the LTIP payment is limited to  

€ 60 per performance share. Entitlement to LTIP payments is established by the approval by the Supervisory Board of 

the consolidated financial statements for the last fiscal year of the performance period.

Further InformationConsolidated Financial StatementsFraport Annual Report 20131 7 8

Group Notes / Other Disclosures

For all performance shares allocated from the fiscal year 2014 onwards, the LTIP payment is limited to 150 % of the 

product from the performance shares of the actual tranche multiplied by the “relevant share price at the time of  

issuance”. The “relevant share price at the time of issuance” corresponds to the weighted average of the company’s 

closing share prices in XETRA or a similarly situated trading system at the Frankfurt Stock Exchange during the month 

of January of the fiscal year, in which the relevant performance period begins. 

Furthermore, for all LTIP performance share tranches that have already been allocated and will be in future, maximum 

payment amounts have been defined, which amounts to a maximum of € 810.0 thousand for Dr Schulte and for the 

other Executive Board members € 616.5 thousand per performance share tranche. 

The rules for LTIP entitlements of former Executive Board members are largely the same as for the LSA. In addition,  

a former Executive Board member is not entitled to any performance shares for a target tranche whose performance 

period  has  lasted  less  than  twelve  months  at  the  time  the  employment  contract  was  legally  terminated.  The  LTIP 

fair value accrual allocation resulted in the following expenses for the fiscal year: Dr Stefan Schulte € 648.8 thousand 

(previous year: € 370.5 thousand), Anke Giesen €233.3 thousand, Michael Müller € 128.7 thousand (previous year:  

€ 50.2  thousand),  Peter  Schmitz  € 532.6  thousand  (previous  year:  € 256.3  thousand),  Dr  Matthias  Zieschang  

€ 532.6 thousand (previous year: € 256.3 thousand), Herbert Mai € 200.1 thousand (previous year: € 112.8 thousand).

Pension commitments

The Executive Board members are entitled to pension benefits and provision for surviving dependents. An Executive 

Board member is generally entitled to retirement benefits if he or she becomes permanently unable to work or retires 

from office during the duration of, or upon expiry of, his or her employment agreement. If an Executive Board member 

dies, benefits are paid to his or her surviving dependents. These amount to 60 % of the retirement pension for the 

widow or widower; children entitled to receive benefits receive 12 % each. If no widow’s pension is paid, the children 

each receive 20 % of the retirement pension. 

Upon retirement, income from active employment as well as retirement pension payments from previous or, where 

applicable, later employment relationships shall be credited against accrued retirement pay up until reaching 60 years 

of age, insofar as without such credit the total of these emoluments and the retirement pension would exceed 75 % of 

the fixed salary (100 % of the fixed salary if Fraport AG wishes the employment to be terminated or not be extended). 

Effective January 1 of each year, the pensions are adjusted at discretion, taking into account the interests of the former 

Executive Board member and the company’s economic situation. The adjustment obligation shall be considered to 

be satisfied if the adjustment does not fall below the increase in the consumer price index for the cost of living for 

private households in Germany. 

The retirement pension of an Executive Board member is defined by the percentage of a contractually agreed basis 

of assessment, with the percentage rising annually by 2.0 % up to a limit of 75 %, dependent on the duration of time 

an Executive Board member is appointed.

As at December 31, 2013, Dr Schulte is entitled to 58.0 % of his fixed annual gross salary. Mr. Schmitz is entitled to 

38.0 % of his fixed annual gross salary as at December 31, 2013. The basic account commitment (guideline 2 of the 

Fraport capital account plan – “Kapitalkontenplan Fraport” – concerning the company benefit plan for Senior Managers,  

dated  February  26,  2002),  to  which  Mr.  Schmitz  is  entitled  under  Fraport  AG’s  company  benefit  plan  up  to  

December 31, 2008, shall be credited pro rata temporis against pension payments over a period of eight years after 

the employment contract has been terminated or expires. As at December 31, 2013, Dr Zieschang is entitled to  

42.0 % of his fixed annual gross salary.

In the event of occupational disability, the pension rate for Dr Schulte, Mr. Schmitz and Dr Zieschang amounts to  

at least 55 % of their respective fixed annual gross salaries or of the contractually agreed basis of assessment.

Fraport Annual Report 2013Group Notes / Other Disclosures

179

For Executive Board members appointed as of 2012, the pension benefits and provision for surviving dependents 

as well as provision for long-term occupational disability are governed by a separate benefit agreement. This calls 

for a one-time pension capital or life-long retirement payments after the insured event become due. The pension 

capital is generated when Fraport AG annually credits 40 % of the fixed annual gross salary paid to a pension account. 

The pension capital accumulated at the end of the previous year pays interest annually at the interest rate used for 

the valuation of the pension obligations in the German commercial balance sheet of Fraport AG at the end of the  

previous year pursuant to Section 253 (2) of the HGB, which is at least 3 % and at most 6 %. This is increased by 1 % on 

January 1 of each year for life-long retirement payments. No further adjustment is made. If the pension capital reached 

is less than € 600 thousand when retirement benefits fall due as a result of long-term occupational disability, Fraport AG  

will increase it to this amount. In the event of long-term occupational disability within the first five years of their 

activities performed as members of the Executive Board, it is foreseen that Executive Board members can postpone 

the receipt of a monthly pension of to a maximum of five years since the start of the employment contract. Until the 

postponed start of the pension benefit payments, they will receive a monthly benefit of € 2.5 thousand. This risk of 

pension payments in the increase phase and of payments for the increase has been covered by an occupational 

disability insurance policy. The full amount of all income within the meaning of the Income Tax Act from employment 

or self-employment is credited against the retirement benefits paid until the end of the month in which the Executive 

Board member reaches the age of 62.

The surviving dependents of Executive Board members appointed from 2012 receive the following benefits: If there 

is no prior event giving rise to retirement benefits, the benefits for the widow or widower is the pension capital gen-

erated so far. If there is no eligible widow or widower, each half-orphan will receive 10 % and each full-orphan will 

receive 25 % of the pension capital generated so far as a one-time payment. If the pension capital reached is less than 

€ 600 thousand upon death, Fraport will increase it to this amount. The payment risk of this increase has been covered 

by a term life insurance policy. If an Executive Board member dies while collecting retirement benefits, the widow or 

widower is entitled to 60 % of the last retirement benefits granted. Each half-orphan receives 10 % and each full-orphan 

receives 25 % of the last retirement benefits granted. If there are no surviving dependents as set forth above, the heirs 

receive a one-time death grant in the amount of € 8.0 thousand.

Moreover, each member of the Executive Board has entered into a two-year restrictive covenant. During this term, 

reasonable compensation in the form of an annual gross salary (fixed salary) pursuant to Section 90a of the HGB shall 

be paid. Partly payments shall be made monthly. The compensation shall be generally credited against any retire-

ment payments owed by Fraport AG, inasmuch as the compensation together with the retirement payments and other 

generated income exceed 100 % of the last fixed salary received.

No other benefits have been promised to Executive Board members, should their employment be terminated.

The retirement pension entitlement of former Executive Board members is determined by a percentage of a contractually  

agreed fixed basis of assessment.

Detailed information on the compensation components and amount of compensation of the Executive Board members 

of Fraport AG in 2013 is shown in the following tables.

Each member of the Executive Board has entered into an obligation to purchase shares in Fraport AG amounting to 

at least half a year’s fixed gross salary (cumulative cost at the time of purchase) and hold them for the duration of the 

respective contract of employment. Already existing holdings of Fraport AG shares are taken into account. The obli-

gation to purchase and hold shares is reduced pro rata if the employment contract has a term of less than five years.  

If the Executive Board member is reappointed, the equivalent value of the shares an Executive Board member is obliged 

to hold is increased to at least a full year’s gross salary.

Within the context of her additional expenses for maintaining two households, Anke Giesen was granted a monthly 

gross allowance of € 2 thousand for twelve months after the start of the employment contract. Accordingly, she was 

granted a total of € 24.0 thousand for 2013. In addition, relocation costs were covered by Fraport AG upon submission

Group Notes / Other Disclosures

The employment contract of Herbert Mai provides for a two-year post-employment restrictive covenant following the 

end of his employment on September 30, 2012. The compensation to be paid to Mr. Mai by Fraport AG as set out in 

Section 90a of the HGB was € 150.0 thousand for 2013. Pursuant to the employment contract, the above-mentioned 

compensation shall be credited against the retirement payments inasmuch as the compensation together with other 

generated income received exceeds 100 % of the last fixed annual gross payment received. Furthermore, Mr. Mai received 

pension benefit payments of € 135.0 thousand, a proportional bonus for the fiscal year 2012 of € 350.6 thousand and 

a proportional payment of the LSA for the fiscal year 2010 of € 64.2 thousand.

The former Chairman of the Executive Board, Prof Dr Wilhelm Bender, continued to render consulting services to  

Fraport AG even after his departure from the company. The consulting agreement, which ended in 2011, was extended  

for another two years and ended on August 31, 2013. For this and other tasks, Fraport AG supplied Prof Dr Bender 

with offices, office equipment and supplies and an assistant until August 31, 2013. Prof Dr Bender did not receive 

any compensation from Fraport AG for his activities. Until August 31, 2011, travel expenses were reimbursed upon 

authorization and approval of the trip according to the applicable company guidelines. After this time, travel expenses 

were no longer reimbursed.

Prof Dr Bender also received pension payments of € 252.4 thousand. Prof Dr Bender has agreed that the post-employment 

restrictive covenant, which applies for two years after the employment agreement ends, was extended for an additional 

two years up to August 31, 2013. Prof Dr Bender waived the right to compensation as set out in Section 90a of the 

HGB payable by Fraport AG from January 2011.

Other benefits

Executive Board members have as other benefits the option of private use of a company vehicle with a driver, private 

use of a company cell phone, a D & O liability insurance with a deductible pursuant to Section 93 (2) sentence 3 of 

the AktG, an accident insurance and a life-time entitlement to use the VIP service of Fraport AG, as well as access to a 

parking spot at Frankfurt Airport. Fraport AG reimburses travel costs for company trips and other business expenses in 

line with the regulations in general use at Fraport AG.

Disclosures pursuant to Section 15a of the WpHG

Pursuant to Section 15a of the WpHG, members of the Fraport Executive Board and Supervisory Board are required to 

disclose transactions with shares of Fraport AG or any related financial instruments to the company and the German 

Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) within five business days. This also applies to persons who are closely 

related to members of the Executive Board and Supervisory Board as defined in Section 15a (3) of the WpHG. These 

transactions have been published by Fraport in accordance with the deadlines under Section 15a of the WpHG.

Remuneration of the Supervisory Board in fiscal year 2013

The remuneration of the Supervisory Board is laid down in Section 12 of the Statutes of Fraport AG. It is provided solely 

as fixed remuneration. According to this, every member of the Supervisory Board shall receive a fixed compensation 

of € 22.5 thousand for each full fiscal year payable at the end of the fiscal year, the Chairman and the Chairman of 

the finance and audit committee shall receive twice that amount, the Vice Chairman and the Chairmen of the other 

committees shall each receive one and a half times this amount. For their membership on a committee, Supervisory 

Board members receive an additional, fixed compensation of € 5 thousand per committee for each full fiscal year. This 

additional compensation is paid for a maximum of two committee memberships. Supervisory Board members that 

become members of or leave the Supervisory Board during the current fiscal year receive pro rata compensation. The 

same holds true in the case of any change in the membership of committees. Each Supervisory Board member receives 

€ 800 for every Supervisory Board meeting he or she attends and every committee meeting attended of which he or 

she is a member. Accrued expenses will also be reimbursed.

More than 1,300,000 square meters...

570,000 passengers started their vacation on just one weekend at the beginning of the 2013 summer vacation. 
Added to this are those collecting passengers, employees and visitors to the airport. As the owner, Fraport operates 
Frankfurt Airport around the clock, 365 days a year. A good indoor climate is essential for ensuring that the passen-
gers’ stay at the airport is of the highest quality. Spread out over a gross surface area of more than 1,300,000 square  
meters – an area bigger than the Frankfurt city center – some 3,000 fans provide a pleasant air quality. To achieve 
this, the air-conditioning systems circulate around 5,400,000 cubic meters of air every hour.

...with fresh air

To operate the air-conditioning system Fraport requires a softer water hardness level than regular mains water. For 
this reason, Fraport filters about 25,000 liters an hour into a special water-softening osmosis plant. The absence 
of this processing would result in the air-conditioning system becoming blocked and the average temperature in 
the terminals would rise. After about three days, the pollution of the air-conditioning technology would be so far 
advanced that the system would fail and individual sections of the terminals would have to be shut down. Regular 
maintenance and testing of the osmosis plant are therefore essential for Fraport.

Auditor’s Report

We have audited the consolidated financial statements prepared by the Fraport AG Frankfurt Airport Services World-

wide, Frankfurt / Main, comprising the consolidated income statement, the consolidated statement of comprehensive 

income, the consolidated statement of financial position, the consolidated statement of cash flows, the consolidated 

statement of changes in equity, and the group notes, together with the group management report for the business 

year from January 1 to December 31, 2013. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements and the group 

management report in accordance with IFRSs, as adopted by the EU, and the additional requirements of German 

commercial law pursuant to Section 315a (1) of the HGB [Handelsgesetzbuch “German Commercial Code”] are the 

responsibility of the parent company’s Executive Board. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the consolidated 

financial statements and on the group management report based on our audit.

We conducted our audit of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with Section 317 of the HGB and 

German generally accepted standards for the audit of financial statements promulgated by the IDW [Institut der 

Wirtschaftsprüfer “Institute of Public Auditors in Germany”]. Those standards require that we plan and perform the 

audit such that misstatements materially affecting the presentation of the net assets, financial position and results of 

operations in the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the applicable financial reporting framework and 

in the group management report are detected with reasonable assurance. Knowledge of the business activities and the 

economic and legal environment of the Group and expectations as to possible misstatements are taken into account 

in the determination of audit procedures. The effectiveness of the accounting-related internal control system and the 

evidence supporting the disclosures in the consolidated financial statements and the group management report are 

examined primarily on a test basis within the framework of the audit. The audit includes assessing the annual financial 

statements of those entities included in consolidation, the determination of entities to be included in consolidation, 

the accounting and consolidation principles used and significant estimates made by the Executive Board, as well as 

evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements and group management report. We believe 

that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Our audit has not led to any reservations.

In our opinion, based on the findings of our audit, the consolidated financial statements comply with IFRSs, as adopted 

by the EU, the additional requirements of German commercial law pursuant to Section 315a (1) of the HGB and give a 

true and fair view of the net assets, financial position and results of operations of the Group in accordance with these 

requirements. The group management report is consistent with the consolidated financial statements and as a whole 

provides a suitable view of the Group’s position and suitably presents the opportunities and risks of future development.
