period of around two years and an investment volume of around €21 million, Fraport Slovenija inaugurated the new passenger terminal on July 1, 2021, on time and on budget. The handling capacity of the airport in Ljubljana was more than doubled to 1,200 passengers per hour. 4 The year of 2021 – Events at a Glance The year of 2021 – Events at a Glance 1. Quarter Passenger numbers in 2021 already affected by coronavirus pandemic from beginning of the year CEIV Pharma Certificate distinguishes handling of pharmaceutical products Once again, Frankfurt Airport was success- fully certified for exemplary handling of time-critical and temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical goods. Fraport thus also assumes a significant role in Corona vaccine distribution. ACI seal for exemplary infection control The international organization of airport operators Airports Council International (ACI) awards Frankfurt Airport and the Greek and Bulgarian airports for exemplary infection control measures: The program reviews hygiene and infection control measures against specified standards. Corporate bond with a total volume of €1.15 billion successfully issued With the significantly oversubscribed corporate bond, Fraport succeeds in placing one of the largest unrated corporate bonds in euros on the capital market to date. 2. Quarter Air traffic restart / incipient recovery of passenger traffic in Frankfurt and internationally Terminal 2 and Runway Northwest at Frankfurt Airport reopen on June 1, 2021 After more than a year Terminal 2 reopens in order to prepare for the expected passenger volume in the summer. At the same time, the Runway Northwest also goes back into operation to enable smooth, delay-free operations as aircraft movements increase.

Quarter Group airports benefit from strong vacation traffic / Greek airports and Antalya Airport already reach over 75% of pre-crisis level Fraport receives compensation for holding costs The Federal Government and the State of Hesse grant Fraport a compensation totaling around €160 million for the uncovered holding costs incurred at Frankfurt Airport during the first lockdown 2020. Multimedia visitor center opens On 1,200 square meters of exhibition space, almost 30 innovative exhibits present insights behind the scenes of the airport and flying. „The Globe“ maps, among other things, all flights around the globe in real time (see chapter „The Fraport Executive Board“). Fraport Brasil opens new cargo center in Porto Alegre In order to further exploit the growth oppor- tunities in the Brazilian and South American cargo markets, a new international cargo center (TECA) at the Porto Alegre Airport was opened. In addition to increased handling capacities, the new TECA offers its customers state-of-the-art technical standards with the aim of providing fast and secure logistics. 4. Quarter Sustained demand for tourist destinations / opening of the USA contribute to positive development in international traffic Fraport responsible for airport security checks from 2023 The German Federal Police have officially entrusted Fraport with the implementation, planning and management of airport secu- rity checks in Frankfurt. With state-of-the- art equipment and optimized processes, Fraport aims to once again significantly improve handling quality in Frankfurt for its passengers and customers. 85 megawatts of green offshore wind energy to supply Frankfurt Airport in the future Fraport AG and EnBW have concluded a Corporate Power Purchase Agreement (CPPA) for the purchase of wind energy. The CPPA has a term of 15 years, starting in the second half of 2026. With the CPPA, Fraport converts parts of the power supply at its home base Frankfurt Airport to green. Operating concession at Antalya site extended until 2051 The concession covers the operation of the terminals and other landside infra- structure, including retail space, the parking management and passenger screening. The operational period under the new contract will begin in early 2027 after the expiration of the existing concession and will be 25 years. Fraport Annual Report 2021 6 To Our Shareholders Letter from the CEO The Fraport Executive Board Report of the Supervisory Board Joint Statement on Corporate Governance 7 10 12 20 Fraport Annual Report 2021Fraport Annual Report 2021 To Our Shareholders / Letter of the CEO To Our Shareholders / Letter from the CEO 5 7 To Our Shareholders the second pandemic year in a row is over. A year in which we continued to prepare your company for the future and at the end of which we were back in the black. But now we are once again facing troubling times, the impact of which on air traffic is difficult to assess at present. My sympathy at this time is with the Ukrainians who have had to endure such great suffering. Before we turn our attention to the current fiscal year, let us first summarize the past fiscal year. At the beginning of the year 2021, the impact of the global travel restrictions on the traffic development of our Group airports lasted longer than had been initially expected. During Easter, very few peo- ple were able to travel to warmer destinations or visit their friends and acquaintances. It was only in the summer months when the situation changed, leading to a noticeable increase in passenger numbers in Frankfurt. Our airports in Greece and Antalya, Turkey, nearly reached pre-crisis levels during the summer months. And the traffic volume fell only slightly during the fourth wave of infections in the fall of last year. In November, the United States finally opened its borders to vaccinated travelers from Europe. Based on all of this, we find that our expectations have ultimately been confirmed: with almost 25 million passengers in Frankfurt, we ended 2021 at the higher end of our passenger forecast. Our airports in Greece and Antalya nearly reached pre- crisis levels during the sum- mer months. In addition to our international airport portfolio, the development of freight was also very positive. We achieved a historic record in Frankfurt in this area, despite the lack of additional loading capacities on passenger aircraft. This is proof that, despite the current challenges, Frankfurt is the leading freight hub in Europe. The increase in traffic volume, especially in the summer months, had a correspondingly positive effect on the financial figures and led to a 27.8% increase in revenue to €2.1 billion. We were once again able to greatly reduce operating expenses, resulting in a positive Group EBITDA of €757.0 million. After recording a loss of around €690 million in 2020, we are pleased to report a positive Group result of €91.8 million. The positive earnings figures are also supported in part by compensation payments and government subsidies. In particular, the compensation granted by the German federal government and the state of Hesse for the holding costs incurred for keeping Frankfurt Airport open during the first lockdown in 2020 in the amount of around €160 million and the compensation in Greece in the form of reduced fixed and variable concession charges of around €93 million led to an increase in other operating income. Despite the positive results, we have not yet reached the pre-crisis level from 2019 and must therefore continue to work to keep your company in economic balance. Through the “Zukunft FRA – Relaunch 50” program, we achieved a headcount reduction of around 4,000 jobs in Frankfurt by mid-2021 while still maintaining our social responsibility, and this helped relieve the burden on our personnel expenses. Now we are concentrating on becoming faster, more efficient, and thus more competitive by optimizing processes and through organizational changes. At the same time, we continue to implement strict cost management and reduce any unnecessary capital expenditure. Programs to reduce costs have also been successfully introduced in the foreign Group companies. In addition to the immediate impact of the pandemic, our focus is on the future viability of your company. We made great progress in this area in the past fiscal year. In Ljubljana, we were able to inaugurate the new passenger terminal in the middle of the year. In order to further exploit the growth opportunities in the South American market, we opened a new international cargo center at Porto Alegre Airport and completed the contractually planned extension measures at the two Brazilian airports. In Lima, on the other hand, we are still in the midst of expanding the airport. We expect to open the new runway there towards the end of this year. And we plan to inaugurate the new terminal in 2025. Towards the end of last year, we won, together with our partner TAV, the operating concession for the Antalya site until 2051. The new concession in Antalya will have a positive effect in the long term, since the international business contributes significantly to the positive development of your Group result. Fraport Annual Report 2021 8 6 To Our Shareholders / Letter from the CEO To Our Shareholders / Letter of the CEO Fraport Annual Report 2021 At the Frankfurt site, the construction of Terminal 3 is continuing on an adjusted schedule. The shell construction of the terminal has now been largely completed, and the interior work on Pier G is also well on its way. We are currently planning to open Pier G together with the other gates of Terminal 3 in 2026. As I pointed out in my letter last year, the German Federal Police have officially contracted us with the implementation, planning, and control of the airport security checks in Frankfurt from 2023. Even after Fraport takes over operations, the acting Federal Ministry will remain responsible for all issues relating to aviation security. However, Fraport will be responsible for procuring security equipment as well as calculating and collecting airport security fees at the site and will thus be able to decide more flexibly which devices are used or how many employees are placed per security lane and at what times. As a result, we will once again clearly increase the quality of handling even during high traffic volumes. Climate protection is another topic for the future that is particularly important to us. Therefore, despite the ongoing crisis, we have once again adjusted our targets: We seek to be emissions-free by 2045 at the latest, and this will exclude compensation once targets are achieved. We are well on our way to ensuring that our electricity con- sumption at Frankfurt Airport largely comes from renewable energies in the future: we have been purchasing electricity from existing onshore wind turbines since July 2021. Another important step is the contract concluded with the energy supplier EnBW to purchase electricity from the new “He Dreiht” wind farm in the German North Sea from 2026. In addition, we are investing in our own photovoltaic power generation in Frankfurt as well as in measures to improve energy efficiency and consistently reduce our consumption. We want to be CO2-free by 2045 at the latest. Taking a look at the current year, we initially expect lower passenger traffic dynamics in the first few months as a result of the spread of the omicron virus variant. By around Easter and Pentecost we expect a noticeable wave of travel and in the summer again strong holiday traffic – clearly above the previous year. Overall, we expect to count between 55 and 65 percent of the passenger numbers of 2019 in Frankfurt this year – depending on how the coronavirus pandemic and the war in Ukraine develop. At the Group’s international airports, we once again anticipate a more dynamic recovery in passenger traffic. At our Greek airports, which are dominated by tourism, we already expect to reach over 80% of the pre-crisis level. In Latin America, we also expect a faster recovery than in Frankfurt. Fraport Annual Report 2021 Fraport Annual Report 2021 To Our Shareholders / Letter of the CEO To Our Shareholders / Letter from the CEO 7 9 The positive traffic forecasts will also have a correspondingly positive impact on the earnings figures. In view of the continuing challenging environment, however, we will not submit a proposal for the appropriation of profit to the Annual General Meeting this year in order to retain the positive Group result and to ensure your company maintains its stable position. In the medium term, we plan to reintroduce the original dividend policy – a pay-out ratio of 40 to 60% of your profit share and at least a stable dividend. I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to our employees in the Fraport Group – also on behalf of the entire Executive Board. With your perseverance and strong commitment to the company, you have made it possible for all passengers, customers, and business partners to have a “Gute Reise” during another pandemic year. I would also like to thank you, dear shareholders, for your trust over the past year! We are looking forward to a time when we can all enjoy personal encounters and journeys across continents increase once again, and to continuing to shape the future of your company.

Now, at the end of February 2022, Russian troops invaded Ukraine in violation of international law. Our concern and our sympathy go out to the people affected by this. We must do everything in our power to bring this unimaginable suffering to an immediate end. The toughest sanctions in post-war history are therefore unavoidable. How this war, the sanctions imposed as a result, and any countermeasures will affect the economic situation, air traffic, and Fraport cannot yet be assessed conclusively. In the second year of the pandemic, the aim was to vaccinate the entire population and cope with the economic impact of the measures to combat the pandemic. The aviation industry was also particularly hard hit in 2021. Although traffic volume increased compared with the previous year, overall it remains clearly below pre-pandemic levels. Contact and travel restrictions also affected demand in the year under review. It was only from November 2021 that passengers from Europe were able to enter the United States once again. Despite all of this, there was still a need for people to travel. Wherever the conditions of the pandemic allowed it, especially at the tourist destinations in the eastern Mediterranean area during the summer months, the demand for flights was only slightly below the values of the years before the crisis. This strengthens our confidence that the long-term development of the industry will remain unaffected. At the end of the year, the Omicron variant once again presented us with challenges. Everyone in society, politics, and the economy will have to act flexibly for some time to combat the virus effectively and cope with the effects of the pandemic. After a challenging year in 2020, Fraport AG was on the path to recovery in the year under review. The number of passengers at international Group airports and at the Frankfurt site grew compared to the previous year. Air freight traffic at Frankfurt Airport even reached peak levels. In the past fiscal year, Fraport AG was able to achieve a positive annual result. The company succeeded in winning the tender with its current consortium partner to operate Antalya Airport, Turkey, until 2051. Without the commitment and confidence of the employees in the management of the company, none of this could have been achieved. For this, we would like to express our special thanks to all our employees for their efforts. Fraport Annual Report 2021 Fraport Annual Report 2021 To Our Shareholders / Report of the Supervisory Board To Our Shareholders / Report of the Supervisory Board 11 13 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 2021. The Supervisory Board regularly obtained 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 development of the company and the Group as well as significant business transactions and consulted with the Executive Board on these matters. Deviations in the business development from the planning were explained in detail to the Supervisory Board. Based on the reports of the Executive Board, the Supervisory Board extensively discussed significant business transactions of the company. The Supervisory Board harmo- nized 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 substantial business transactions. The Supervisory Board was directly involved in all decisions of fundamental importance to the company. Where required by law, the company statutes, or rules of 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 eight meetings, thereof one strategy session. In addition, an information event on ground handling services was held in fiscal year 2021. Focal points of discussions of the Supervisory Board The business development of the Fraport Group and Group companies, with an emphasis on the traffic and revenue development at Frankfurt Airport and the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on business development in air traffic, were the subject of regular discussions by the Supervisory Board in the 2021 fiscal year. The Supervisory Board also covered the progress in the expansion to the south of the Frankfurt site on an ongoing basis. The management of the Group company Fraport Ausbau Süd GmbH regularly took part in the advisory meetings of the investment and capital expenditure committee of the Supervisory Board. Apart from this regular reporting, the following matters were extensively discussed in 2021, in particular: • The coronavirus pandemic and its impact on air traffic at the Frankfurt site as well as at the international Group airports were once again the main focus of discussions. The Supervisory Board was informed extensively and in a timely manner about the developments and measures. These included continued strict control of capital expenditure and non-staff expenses as well as the reduction of personnel expenses through short-time work schedules and the “Zukunft FRA – Relaunch 50” program. • Another focus of the reporting was the expansion of capacities in the southern part of Frankfurt Airport. The Supervisory Board dealt intensively with whether continuing the expansion remained cost-effective. Progress in the construction of Terminal 3 (including Pier G) and its traffic connection to the remaining infrastructure have been the subject of in-depth discussions at all meetings. The inauguration of the terminal facilities, scheduled for 2026, is proceeding according to plan. • • • • • The company’s liquidity requirements and the securing of the liquidity required for further expansion were dealt with on a recurring basis. The creation of authorized and conditional capital was also discussed and recommended to the Annual General Meeting. The Supervisory Board discussed the economic situation and the development of Ground Services. The Supervisory Board has been informed about the respective state of play of the take-over of management responsi- bility in the area of security controls at Frankfurt Airport. The Supervisory Board discussed the measures necessary to implement the requirements of the German Act to Strengthen Financial Market Stability (FISG) and the German Act on the Implementation of the Second Shareholders’ Rights Directive (ARUG II) and passed the necessary resolutions. In addition, the Supervisory Board dealt with the financial statements and management reports of the company and the Group as of December 31, 2020, as well as the Annual Report 2020 and reached the necessary decisions on their approval and adoption.

Work of the committees The Supervisory Board continued its successful work with the committees it had formed to increase efficiency 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 respon- sibilities of the individual committees can be found in the “Joint Statement on Corporate Governance” chapter as well as on the Group’s website at www.fraport.com/en/investors/corporate-governance.html. The finance and audit committee met six times during the reporting period and discussed substantial business transactions, the annual and consolidated financial statements, and the management reports. Representatives of the auditor participated in the meetings on individual agenda items. The finance and audit committee prepared the determination of the focal points of the 2021 fiscal year audit of accounts for the Supervisory Board. The interim report and the interim releases were discussed in detail prior to their publication. Comments were also made on the 2022 Business Plan of Fraport AG (prepared in accordance with the German Commercial Code, HGB) and the 2022 Group Plan (prepared in accordance with IFRS). Furthermore, the committee dealt with the awarding of the audit mandate to the auditor and made proposals to the plenum on the election of the auditor for fiscal year 2021 and the invitation to tender for the auditing services starting with the audit of the 2023 fiscal year. As in previous years, the quality of the audit of accounts monitored, and the remuneration of the same discussed. Furthermore, the issue of mandates for non-audit-related services to the auditor was discussed. After the cyclical change of the auditor for fiscal year 2013, it was proposed to the plenum again to recommend PricewaterhouseCoopers GmbH Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft, Frankfurt Fraport Annual Report 2021 Fraport Annual Report 2021 To Our Shareholders / Report of the Supervisory Board To Our Shareholders / Report of the Supervisory Board 13 15 am Main, to the AGM as auditor for fiscal year 2021. Furthermore, with regard to the review of CSR reporting, the recommendation of the Supervisory Board was in favor of this auditing company. Further focal points of the discussions were asset and liability management as well as the regular supplementary reports to the consolidated financial statements and/or the consolidated interim reports in accordance with Section 90 of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG). 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. The discussions at the five meetings of the investment and capital expenditure committee in the 2021 fiscal year focused on the economic development of the investment business and the expansion measures in Germany and at foreign Group companies. A particular focus was once again on the expansion in the southern part of Frankfurt Airport, which was intensively discussed at all committee meetings in the presence of the management of the responsible Group company Fraport Ausbau Süd GmbH, also with a view to the discussions by the Supervisory Board. The subject of a special meeting of the investment and capital expenditure committee was the discussion on the submission of a binding offer for the concession to operate Antalya Airport, Turkey. The Supervisory Board was recommended to approve the submission of an offer together with the Turkish partner TAV. The committee regularly dealt with the economic situation of the Group companies at the Frankfurt site and worldwide. In this context, the committee recommended to the Supervisory Board the subsequent approval of the disposal of a majority stake in FraSec Luftsicherheit GmbH. The committee worked intensively on the planning of capital expenditure in the context of the 2022 Business Plan. At its four meetings in the 2021 fiscal year, the human resources committee regularly discussed the personnel situation in the Group, which continued to be impacted by the effects of the coronavirus pandemic. At the Frankfurt site, the focus was on the topics of short-time work, the status of the voluntary program for staff reductions within the framework of the “Zukunft FRA – Relaunch 50” program, and the development of personnel expenses and remuneration. The development of the ratio of women in top management as well as the development of a competence model for these functions were another focus of discussion. The executive committee met five times during the reporting period. It dealt with Executive Board matters and remuneration issues arising in the 2021 fiscal year as well as the succession planning for the Board. In fiscal year 2021, it was not necessary to convene the nomination committee formed in preparation for the election of new shareholder representatives or the mediation committee to be formed in accordance with the provisions of Section 27 of the German Co-Determination Act. Training and education The training and education measures required for the tasks of the members of the Supervisory Board are carried out inde- pendently. The new members of the Supervisory Board were also adequately supported upon their appointment in 2021, and the company continued its willingness to support the training and education measures for Supervisory Board members.

Corporate Governance and statements of compliance The Executive Board and the Supervisory Board also addressed the implementation of the German Corporate Governance Code (GCGC) in the past fiscal year. In this context, the Supervisory Board has also continued its regular efficiency audit. In the year under review, this self-assessment was carried out on the basis of and as an update of the results obtained in 2020, which were discussed in depth at the September meeting. The discussion focused on the digitization of the committee’s work and the corresponding access to information. Further details on Corporate Governance and the wording of the current statement of compliance pursuant to Section 161 of the AktG, released by the Executive Board and the Supervisory Board on December 16, 2021, are provided in the “Joint Statement on Corporate Governance”. The current and past statements of compliance can also be found on the Group’s website at www.fraport.com/en/investors/corporate-governance.html. Conflicts of interest and their treatment There were no conflicts of interest between the supervisory boards and the executive boards in the 2021 fiscal year. Audit of annual and consolidated financial statements as well as remuneration report PwC audited the annual financial statements of Fraport AG and the consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2021, as well as the combined management report, and issued an unqualified auditor’s report for each. The audit mandate was issued by the chairpersons of the Supervisory Board in accordance with the resolution of the Annual General Meeting of June 1, 2021. The separate financial statements and the combined management report were prepared in accordance with the regulations of the HGB applicable to large capital companies; the consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with IFRS as applicable in the EU. Furthermore, the German legal regulations to be applied in addition to Section 315e (1) of the HGB in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements and the combined management report were applied. The separate financial statements, consolidated financial statements, and the combined management report were audited by the auditor. The consoli- dated financial statements and the combined management report meet the conditions for exemption from the preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with German commercial law. The auditor established that an early risk warning system that meets the legal requirements and which makes it possible to identify developments at an early stage that could jeopardize the company as a going concern, was in place. The documents mentioned as well as the proposal by the Executive Board for the utilization of the profit earmarked for distribution have been sent to the Supervisory Board by the Executive Board without delay. The finance and audit committee of the Supervi- sory Board examined these documents extensively and the Supervisory Board also reviewed them personally. In this context, the adjustments required by way of extended supplementary reporting as a result of the war in Ukraine were also discussed and examined. The audit reports of PwC and the financial statements were available to all members of the Supervisory Board and were comprehensively dealt with in the accounting meeting of the Supervisory Board on March 14, 2022, in the presence of the auditor, who reported on the significant results of its audit and was available to respond to additional questions and provide further information. In the meeting, the chairwoman of the finance and audit committee provided a comprehensive report on the treatment of the annual financial statements and the consolidated financial statements in the finance and audit committee. A focal point of this reporting was the key audit matters described in the auditor’s report. 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 financial statements prepared by the Executive Board; the annual financial statements were thus adopted. Fraport Annual Report 2021 16 18 To Our Shareholders / Report of the Supervisory Board To Our Shareholders / Report of the Supervisory Board Fraport Annual Report 2021 The profit for the 2021 fiscal year amounted to €38.3 million. In view of the fact that Fraport, as an airport operator, was particularly affected by the consequences of the coronavirus pandemic, the Executive Board of Fraport AG proposed to waive the distribution of a dividend for the 2021 fiscal year. After an in-depth assessment and, in particular, taking into account the interests of the company and the shareholders, the Supervisory Board has endorsed this proposal. The report prepared by the Executive Board on the relationships of Fraport AG with affiliated companies pursuant to Section 312 of the AktG (dependency report) for the period from January 1 to December 31, 2021, was submitted to the Supervisory Board. The report concludes with the following statement of the Executive Board, which is also included in the combined management report: “The Executive Board declares that under the circumstances known to us at the time, Fraport AG received fair and adequate compensation for each and every legal transaction conducted. 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 auditor’s report: “Based on our mandatory audit and the conclusions reached, we confirm that 1. the effective 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 14, 2022, on the report regarding the relationships with affiliated companies and was available to the Supervisory Board to provide additional information. After the final result of the audit of the dependency report, no objections were made to the declaration of the Executive Board at the end of the report, which was also included in the combined management report. The results of the audit of the dependent company report by the auditor are approved. PwC was also commissioned to review the content of the Remuneration Report of Fraport AG as at December 31, 2021 as prepared by the Executive Board and the Supervisory Board. In addition to the formal examination required by law in accordance with Section 162 (1) and (2) AktG, the content of the Remuneration Report was also reviewed. Based on the substantive audit, the auditor was able to form an opinion on this with reasonable assurance and confirmed in the context of the audit report that the Remuneration Report complies with the provisions of Section 162 AktG in all material respects. The audit report is attached to the Remuneration Report. Audit of the non-financial statement The Supervisory Board is also responsible for auditing the content of the combined non-financial statement. As part of the prepa- ration for this audit, the auditor PwC was commissioned to prepare a voluntary audit of the combined non-financial statement with limited assurance. The finance and audit committee of the Supervisory Board examined the combined non-financial statement extensively and it was also reviewed by the Supervisory Board. At the accounting meeting of the Supervisory Board on March 14, 2022, the auditor, in addition to the results of its audit of the financial reporting, also reported on the significant results of its audit of the combined non-financial statement and, in this regard, was available for additional questions and information. Ultimately, it was determined that the combined non-financial statement is correct and complies with the requirements under German commercial law. Fraport Annual Report 2021Fraport Annual Report 2021 To Our Shareholders / Report of the Supervisory Board To Our Shareholders / Report of the Supervisory Board 17 19 Personnel particulars In the year under review, there were a number of changes to the Supervisory Board. • Ms. Birgit Kother resigned from the Supervisory Board effective June 30, 2021. She was succeeded by Ms. Yvonne Dunkelmann. Ms. Dunkelmann also succeeded Ms. Kother in the investment and capital expenditure committee as duly appointed by the Supervisory Board. • On January 1, 2021, Mr. Matthias Pöschko was elected to replace Mr. Detlev Drath, who had left his position on the Board at the end of 2020. Mr. Pöschko was elected as a member of the executive committee and the investment and capital expenditure committee. • Ms. Mira Neumaier was appointed by the court on March 4, 2021, to replace Ms. Katharina Wesenick, who had resigned at the end of 2020. She was elected as a member of the investment and capital expenditure committee, in which she holds the position as chairwoman. On February 11, 2022, Fraport AG was notified of the decision of the German Federal Labor Court of February 2, 2022 in which the Federal Labor Court rejected the appeal against denial of leave to appeal concerning the decision of Regional Labor Court of the State of Hesse on the challenge to the election of employee representatives to the Supervisory Board of Fraport AG. Thus, the decision of Regional Labor Court of the State of Hesse on the challenge to the election of employee representatives to the Supervisory Board of Fraport AG, including the substitute members elected for them, by the delegates on May 23, 2018, became legally binding. Consequently, the election has been declared invalid by a court. Ms. Mira Neumaier, who was appointed as an employee representative to the Supervisory Board by decision of the District Court of Frankfurt am Main on March 4, 2021, is not affected by the invalidity of the election and remains a member of the Supervisory Board. In order to ensure quorum and to restore as quickly as possible the number of employee representatives on the Supervisory Board as required by law and the company’s statutes, including the statutory equal composition of the Supervisory Board, the Executive Board immediately applied for a judicial (replacement) appointment for the employee representatives who had left the Supervisory Board. For the judicial (replacement) appointment, stakeholders’ opinions (including trade unions, the Group Works Council, Fraport Works Council, Fraport Spokes- person’s Committee, FraGround Works Council), and declarations of consent were obtained both from the previous employee representatives and from the new candidates nominated by the trade unions in their place. The trade union komba, which is normally represented by Ms. Yvonne Dunkelmann, appointed Ms. Ramona Lindner in place of Ms. Dunkelmann, as requested. The Executive Board has taken this request into account, also in order to avoid conflicting applications to the court and the resulting delays. On February 16, 2022, the Amtsgericht Frankfurt/Main appointed: Ms. Claudia Amier, Mr. Devrim Arslan, Mr. Hakan Bölükmese, Mr. Hakan Cicek, Dr. Ulrich Kipper, Ms. Ramona Lindner, Mr. Matthias Pöschko, Mr. Qadeer Rana und Mr. Mathias Venema as employee representatives to the Supervisory Board in accordance with the appeal, for a limited term until the beginning of the next regular term of office of the new employee representatives to be elected in 2023. In addition to co-determination considerations, the appeal and the judicial (replacement) appointment also took into account and complied with the requirements of stock corporation law for the proportion of women on a supervisory board. Frankfurt/Main, March 14, 2022 Minister Michael Boddenberg (Chairman of the Supervisory Board) Fraport Annual Report 202118 20 To Our Shareholders / Joint Statement on Corporate Governance To Our Shareholders / Joint Statement on Corporate Governance Fraport Annual Report 2021 Joint Statement on Corporate Governance The Fraport AG Executive Board reports – in the name of the Supervisory Board as well – on the contents subject to the reporting requirements pursuant to Section 289f of the German Commercial Code (HGB) for Fraport AG as well as for the Fraport Group (Fraport AG and fully consolidated Group companies, hereinafter referred to as “Fraport”) as part of a joint statement on corporate governance pursuant to Sections 315d and 289f of the HGB in conjunction with Section 289f of the HGB, in order to enable a general statement on the Group's corporate governance principles. In this context, the Executive Board and Supervisory Board report in accordance with Principle 22 of the German Corporate Governance Code in its amended version from December 16, 2019, as published on March 20, 2020, (hereinafter: GCGC) on the corporate governance of the company. The term “corporate governance” at Fraport means responsible corporate management and monitoring. The objectives of corpo- rate governance at Fraport are long-term economic enhancement and creating as well as strengthening confidence among investors, customers, employees, and the public. Good corporate governance therefore has the 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 monitors the national and international devel- opments in this area and regularly reviews its own corporate practices in connection with new legal regulations and revised national and international standards, and modifies it to meet these as required. In accordance with Section 317 (2) sentence 6 of the HGB, the following information pursuant to Sections 289f (2) and (5) and 315d of the HGB has been included by the auditor in the audit of the annual financial statements only to the extent that the auditor verified whether the information was actually given. Statement of compliance pursuant to Section 161 of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG) As a publicly listed corporation headquartered in Germany, corporate governance at Fraport AG primarily orients itself to German stock corporation law, capital market law, and the suggestions and recommendations of the GCGC as amended. The GCGC is a major legal regulation for the management and supervision of German publicly listed companies and contains internationally and nationally recognized standards of good and responsible corporate governance in the form of principles, recommendations, and suggestions. There is no obligation to implement the suggestions and recommendations of the GCGC. However, under Section 161 of the AktG the Executive Board and the Supervisory Board are obliged to issue a statement of compliance and to report and justify any deviations from the recommendations of the GCGC. Statement of compliance of December 16, 2021 The Executive Board and the Supervisory Board last issued the following statement of compliance under Section 161 of the AktG on December 16, 2021: “Since the last statement of compliance was issued on December 17, 2020, Fraport AG has complied with and will continue to comply with the recommendations by the Government Commission on the German Corporate Governance Code in the amended version of December 16, 2019 (GCGC) published by the Federal Ministry of Justice and Consumer Protection in the official section of the Federal Gazette.” The statement of compliance was promptly made permanently available to the shareholders on the company’s website at www.fraport.com/en/investors/corporate-governance.html. GCGC recommendations Fraport AG also voluntarily complies with the recommendations of the GCGC. Fraport Annual Report 2021 Fraport Annual Report 2021 To Our Shareholders / Joint Statement on Corporate Governance To Our Shareholders / Joint Statement on Corporate Governance 19 21 Disclosures on other corporate management practices Beyond the statutory provisions, Fraport utilizes the following corporate management practices: Compliance Ensuring the integrity of all employees worldwide is of great importance to Fraport. Compliance is a key prerequisite for the future viability of the company. The Code of Conduct for Employees that applies worldwide to the Fraport Group reflects the culture of values practiced at Fraport and stipulates the requirement to act responsibly when dealing with the economic, legal, and moral challenges of everyday busi- ness. There are several ways for employees and customers around the world to report potential compliance breaches securely and in confidence. The information received is carefully and conscientiously evaluated and examined. Compliance breaches are systematically penalized, and any grievances are remedied. Fraport employees are regularly informed on the topic of compliance through various internal channels and undergo training courses. The Code of Conduct for Employees and the Compliance Guidelines in place at the Fraport Group are available to the employees on the corresponding information platforms. In its Supplier Code of Conduct, Fraport describes the requirements and principles for cooperation with contractors, suppliers, and service providers. The contractually agreed Supplier Code of Conduct obliges them to comply with the applicable national laws and the relevant internationally recognized standards, guidelines, and principles, as also stipulated in the Code of Conduct for Employees. The Compliance Management System (CMS) at Fraport is a systematic tool for ensuring legal and compliant behavior within the Group. The objective of the CMS is to ensure corporate management based on values and with integrity that goes beyond the mere fulfillment of standards. The responsibility for the CMS lies with the management of each respective Group company; the Executive Board is responsible for the CMS of Fraport AG. It has assigned the Head of the Legal Affairs and Compliance central unit as Chief Compliance Officer to develop, organize, and operate Fraport AG’s Compliance Management System. Responsible corporate governance Fraport is a community and partnership-oriented corporation. Fraport aims to remain competitive at all sites and in all operational units and thereby secure jobs with fair and just working conditions. Fraport offers good working conditions based on collective bargaining agreements, professional and personal development options, and a highly developed corporate ethic. Although the coronavirus pandemic once again forced the need for short-time work schedules in the second year of the pandemic in order to continue to keep the company profitable and competitive under changing market conditions, Fraport’s objective remains to provide high job security for all employees. Holistic, integrated health and safety at the workplace is also an essential part of the overall corporate responsibility of Fraport, especially when facing the coronavirus pandemic. Comprehensive protective measures have been taken at both the Frankfurt site and the Group airports. The Fraport Group is also committed to maintaining a sustainable, conserving, and preventive approach to natural resources and the environment. Ambitious CO2 targets for 2030 have been agreed for both Fraport AG and the Fraport Group. The declared goal for Fraport AG and the Fraport Group is to be climate neutral by 2045. Fraport AG’s funding concept for its community, cultural, and social engagement is “Active for the Region”. It primarily serves to boost clubs and support volunteer work in the region around Frankfurt Airport. However, in 2021 and presumably in the years to come, the effects of the coronavirus pandemic have again forced Fraport AG to reduce expenses that are not directly related to its core business. Fraport Annual Report 2021 20 22 To Our Shareholders / Joint Statement on Corporate Governance To Our Shareholders / Joint Statement on Corporate Governance Fraport Annual Report 2021 Structure and functioning of the Executive Board and Supervisory Board For Fraport, a responsible and transparent corporate management and monitoring structure is the cornerstone for creating value and trust. In accordance with the statutory provisions, Fraport AG is subject to a “dual governance system,” which is achieved by the strict separation of personnel in the management and monitoring bodies (two-tier board). The Executive Board manages Fraport AG; the Supervisory Board monitors the Executive Board. The members of the Executive Board and the Supervisory Board work closely together in the interest of the company. Executive Board The Executive Board of Fraport AG is comprised of the following five members: Dr. Stefan Schulte (Chair), Anke Giesen, Michael Müller, Dr. Pierre Dominique Prümm, and Prof. Dr. Matthias Zieschang. As the management body, it conducts the business of the company. The Executive Board is bound by the company’s interests and corporate sociopolitical principles within the framework of stock corporation law. In addition, its work is based on the rules of procedure, which have been approved by the Supervisory Board. 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. On this basis, the Executive Board reports to the Supervisory Board on all relevant matters of business development, corporate strategy, and possible risks in a regular, timely, and comprehensive manner. In addition, the Executive Board must have the prior approval of the Supervisory Board for certain material matters, particularly for capital expenditure and equity investment measures above a value of €10 million, to the extent that this is not provided for in a business plan approved by the Supervisory Board. The length of the appointment of the Executive Board members is geared toward the long term and has thus far been five years as a standard. Deviating from this standard, at its meeting on June 21, 2021, the Supervisory Board extended the appointment of Prof. Dr. Zieschang as a member of the Management Board for a further three years and ten months until January 31, 2026, with effect from April 1, 2022. The age limit for members of the Executive Board has, in principle, been set at 65. Remuneration of the Executive Board comprises fixed and performance-related components. The Remuneration Report for fiscal year 2021, the audi- tor's report pursuant to Section 162 of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG) and the applicable remuneration system for the Executive Board are published at www.fraport.com/publications. 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 chair holds the casting vote. Further information on the members of the Executive Board as well as their memberships to be disclosed in accordance with Section 285 (10) of the German Commercial Code (HGB) and information on the respective areas of responsibility can be found in the Group Notes, note 55. CVs of the members of the Executive Board are available on the company’s website under Executive Board (fraport.com). 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 employee representatives 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 chair of the Supervisory Board, who must be a shareholder representative, is entitled to a second vote. Beyond this, the rules of procedure regulate, in particular, the creation and powers of committees of the Supervisory Board. The Supervisory Board generally meets four times a year (in 2021: eight meetings, including a strategy session) and regularly reviews the efficiency of its activities. In the year under review, this self-assessment was carried out on the basis of and as an update of the results obtained in 2020, which were discussed in depth at the September meeting. The discussion focused on the digitization of the committee’s work and the corresponding access to information.

Until the resolution on the challenge became final, the persons whose election was contested remained full members of the Supervisory Board. Ms. Mira Neumaier, who was appointed as an employee representative to the Supervisory Board by decision of the Register Court of the District Court of Frankfurt am Main on March 4, 2021, is not affected by the challenge and remains a member of the Supervisory Board. By decision of February 16, 2022, the Register Court of the Amtsgericht Frankfurt/Main, ordered a judicial replacement appointment for the departed members of the Supervisory Board at the request of the Executive Board. Since then, the Supervisory Board has again been composed of 20 members. In addition to co-determination considerations, the appeal and the judicial (replacement) appointment also took into account and complied with the requirements of stock corporation law for the proportion of women on a supervisory board. In the period from July 1, 2021 to February 10, 2022, Ms. Yvonne Dunkelmann was a member of the Supervisory Board as an employee representative. By means of the court appointment of February 16, 2022, Ms. Ramona Lindner succeeded her as employee representative on the Supervisory Board. Further information on the members of the Supervisory Board as well as their memberships to be disclosed in accordance with Section 285 (10) of the German Commercial Code (HGB) can be found in the Group Notes, note 56. CVs of the members of the Supervisory Board are available on the company’s website under Supervisory Board & Economic Advisory (fraport.com).

The shareholders are informed of business developments in the past year and the company’s forecasts included in the combined management report with sufficient time prior to the meeting. During the year, the shareholders are provided with comprehensive and timely information about current business developments through interim reports and other company publications on the com- pany website. The AGM is held within the first eight months of every 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 auditor, amendments to the company statutes, and other tasks. The shareholders can either exercise their right to vote in person or can authorize third parties to exercise their right to vote. The Executive Board is authorized to ensure that shareholders may cast their votes in writing or by electronic communication (mail-in ballot). Each share entitles its holder to one vote in the voting. The German Act Concerning Measures Under the Law of Companies, Cooperative Societies, Associations, Foundations and Commonhold Property to Combat the Effects of the coronavirus pandemic, which entered into effect on March 28, 2020 to combat the effects of the pandemic and was amended by Article 11 of the Act on the Further Shortening of the Residual Debt Exemption Procedure and on the Adaptation of Pandemic-Related Regulations in Society, Cooperative, Association and Foundation Law as well as in Tenancy and Lease Law of December 22, 2020 (Federal Law Gazette I No. 67 2020, p. 3332), opened up the possibility, as in 2020, of holding annual general meetings in 2021 without the physical presence of shareholders or their representatives (virtual general meeting). The Executive Board of Fraport AG made use of this opportunity in 2021 with the consent of the Super- visory Board. Article 15 of the Act on the Establishment of a Special Fund “Development Aid 2021” and on the temporary suspension of the obligation to file for insolvency due to heavy rainfall and flooding in July 2021 and the amendments to other laws of September 10, 2021 (Federal Law Gazette I No. 63 2021, p. 4153) extended its validity until August 31, 2022, according to which ordinary annual general meetings can also be held online in 2022 without the physical presence of shareholders or their representatives. Defining targets for the proportion of women on the Supervisory Board, Executive Board, and the two lev- els below the Executive Board According to the German Stock Corporation Act as amended by the Second Management Positions Act (FüPoG II), Fraport AG, as a listed company to which the Co-Determination Act applies and whose Executive Board consists of more than three persons, must have at least one woman and at least one man as a member of the Executive Board (minimum participation requirement). In the year under review, Fraport AG complied with this requirement. The targets for the proportion of women at the two levels below the Executive Board as well as the deadlines for reaching these targets must be determined based on this law. The targets for the proportion of women on the Supervisory Board of Fraport AG does not need to be determined, since there is already a fixed gender ratio for the Supervisory Board, as is the case at Fraport AG, according to Section 96 (2) AktG. Targets for the Executive Board If the minimum participation requirement applies to the Executive Board, the obligation to set targets for the Executive Board ceases to apply in accordance with the provisions of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz) as amended by the FüPoG II. 24 The Supervisory Board set a target of 25% for the proportion of women on the Fraport AG Executive Board at its meeting of September 18, 2015, and this target remained even after the obligation to set targets for the Executive Board had been eliminated. This target should have been reached by June 30, 2017. As the Executive Board has been extended by one member and thus To Our Shareholders / Joint Statement on Corporate Governance has consisted of one female and four male members as of July 1, 2019, this target is currently being missed. In view of the expected profound change in the aviation market and the associated major changes in traffic and terminal usage structures, the Supervisory Board considered it appropriate for the Executive Board to expand the responsibilities by the Executive Director “Aviation and Infrastructure” including the “Airside and Terminal Management, Corporate Safety and Security” strategic business unit (now called “Aviation”) as well as the “Corporate Infrastructure Management” central unit and to appoint an internal expert. Nonetheless, the target remains in effect as regards future decisions on appointments to the Executive Board. Fraport Annual Report 2021 Targets for the first and second management levels below the Executive Board The Executive Board sets the targets for the proportion of women at the two levels below the Executive Board in accordance with Section 76 (4) of the AktG and Principle 3 of the GCGC. At the turn of the year 2016/2017, the Executive Board set a target of 30.0% for the proportion of women in the first management level below the Executive Board (“direct reports”) and a target of 30.0% for the proportion of women for the subordinate manage- ment level (“direct reports” to the first management level) as at December 31, 2021, for Fraport AG. As at the balance sheet date for 2021, the actual proportion of women in the first management level amounted to approximately 22.7% and 27.5% in the second management level. For the period from January 1, 2022, to December 31, 2026, the Executive Board set a target of 31.8% for the proportion of women in the first management level below the Executive Board (“direct reports”) and a target of 30.9% for the proportion of women for the subordinate management level (“direct reports” to the first management level). Regarding Group companies in Germany, the Executive Board set a target of 30.8% for the proportion of women in the first management level below the Executive Board (“direct reports”) and a target of 30.2% for the proportion of women for the subordinate management level (“direct reports” to the first management level) for the same period. Gender ratio on the Supervisory Board After the “Act on Equal Participation of Women and Men in Management Positions in the Private and Public Sector” came into force on May 1, 2015, the statutory gender ratios of a minimum of 30% women and 30% men on the Supervisory Board must be complied with (Section 96 (2) of the AktG, Principle 11 of the GCGC) as part of the new elections and postings to Fraport’s Supervisory Board that became necessary from January 1, 2016. In this respect, the Supervisory Board decided at its meeting of September 18, 2015, that these ratios are to be met separately for shareholders and for employees. This requirement was fulfilled in the new elections of the Supervisory Board in 2018 as well as the subsequent court orders and the special elections to the Supervisory Board in 2020 and 2021. The Supervisory Board currently comprises three female and seven male shareholder representatives and three female and seven male employee representatives. Targets for the composition of the Supervisory Board; diversity concept for the Supervisory Board and Executive Board as well as the succession planning for the Executive Board On June 27, 2016, in accordance with Recommendation C.1 of the GCGC and Section 289f (2) Nr. 6 of the HGB, the Supervisory Board adopted its specific targets for its composition as well as a competency profile for the overall board. The targets for the composition of the Supervisory Board and the competency profile for the overall board (including the diversity concept) are as follows: “The objective is that the Supervisory Board should be composed in such a way that it ensures the competent control and support of the company’s Executive Board by the Supervisory Board. It should be taken into account that the Supervisory Board as a collective body has the overall knowledge, skills, and professional experience required to properly perform its tasks. It cannot be expected that each individual member of the Supervisory Board possesses the required knowledge and experience to the fullest extent; however, there should be at least one competent member of the Board for each aspect of the Supervisory Board’s activities to ensure that the Board's members together represent a comprehensive range of knowledge and experience. These should include, inter alia, an understanding of the relevant market environment, financial and commercial experience, and a strong re- gional connection. In addition, each member of the Supervisory Board should be expected to have a certain level of essential general knowledge and experience that is appropriate to the nature, extent, and complexity of the business activities, and the risk structure of an international company such as Fraport AG.

Gender ratio on the Supervisory Board After the “Act on Equal Participation of Women and Men in Management Positions in the Private and Public Sector” came into force on May 1, 2015, the statutory gender ratios of a minimum of 30% women and 30% men on the Supervisory Board must be complied with (Section 96 (2) of the AktG, Principle 11 of the GCGC) as part of the new elections and postings to Fraport’s Supervisory Board that became necessary from January 1, 2016.

Targets for the composition of the Supervisory Board; diversity concept for the Supervisory Board and Executive Board as well as the succession planning for the Executive Board On June 27, 2016, in accordance with Recommendation C.1 of the GCGC and Section 289f (2) Nr. 6 of the HGB, the Supervisory Board adopted its specific targets for its composition as well as a competency profile for the overall board. The targets for the composition of the Supervisory Board and the competency profile for the overall board (including the diversity concept) are as follows: “The objective is that the Supervisory Board should be composed in such a way that it ensures the competent control and support of the company’s Executive Board by the Supervisory Board.

In addition, each member of the Supervisory Board should be expected to have a certain level of essential general knowledge and experience that is appropriate to the nature, extent, and complexity of the business activities, and the risk structure of an international company such as Fraport AG. Fraport Annual Report 2021 Fraport Annual Report 2021 To Our Shareholders / Joint Statement on Corporate Governance To Our Shareholders / Joint Statement on Corporate Governance 25 27 In adherence to the age limits set by the Supervisory Board, which is set as 72 years of age at the time of election or reelection, candidates should be put forward who are able to perform the duties of a member of a supervisory board of an international company and safeguard the reputation of Fraport AG through their integrity, motivation, availability, and personality. The principles of diversity and the proportion of women and men based on the statutory provisions should be taken into account when nominating candidates for the Board. In addition, the Supervisory Board should have at least three independent members.” Concerning the extent to which this policy has been implemented, it can be stated that the current Supervisory Board, whose members offer a wide range of economic, political, and corporate expertise, has the knowledge, skills, and experience required to properly perform its duties. The objectives for the composition of the Supervisory Board and the competence profile for the overall Supervisory Board (including the diversity concept) were taken into account in the special election to the Supervisory Board in 2021. In addition, the Supervisory Board has both a sufficient number of members with international experience and an adequate number of members with a strong regional connection, as some of them hold seats in local and regional governments. With regard to further diversity, the Supervisory Board had already updated the target it established in the 2015 fiscal year – as mentioned above – for the proportion of women on the Board: “The Supervisory Board shall be composed of at least 30% women and 30% men, and this ratio is to be met separately for shareholder representatives and for employee representatives.” In line with this objective, the Supervisory Board has comprised three female and seven male shareholder representatives and three female and seven male employee representatives since the 2018 Annual General Meeting and the special election to the Supervisory Board at the 2020 Annual General Meeting. The supervisory board members Dr. Margarete Haase, who is chairwoman of the finance and audit committee, and Ms. Sonja Wärntges both have expertise in the areas of accounting and auditing, which fulfills the requirement in Section 100 (5) of AktG that states at least two members of the Supervisory Board and the finance and audit committee must have such expertise. The Supervisory Board of Fraport AG thus meets the requirements of the Act on the Strengthening of Financial Market Integrity (FISG) with regard to the requirement of Supervisory Board members with expertise in the areas of accounting and auditing. For shareholders, the Supervisory Board should include what they consider to be an appropriate number of independent members; the ownership structure should be taken into account (see Recommendation C.6 GCGC). The Supervisory Board decided that the board should include at least three independent shareholder representatives. Regarding this objective, the Supervisory Board had as its members Dr. Margarete Haase, Dr. Katja Windt, and Ms. Sonja Wärntges, which means that it has reached its goal of having three shareholder representatives independent of the company, the Executive Board, and the controlling shareholder. In addition, Fraport AG also complies with Recommendations C.7 and C.9 of the GCGC, according to which more than half of the shareholder representatives must be independent of the company and the Executive Board and at least two of the shareholder representatives must be independent of the controlling shareholder. It should also be noted that both the Chair of the Supervisory Board as well as the Chair of the audit committee, and the Chair of the executive committee are considered to be independent within the meaning of Recommendation C.10 of the GCGC. In the future, the nomination committee and the Supervisory Board will also adequately take into account this objective for the composition of the Supervisory Board when presenting candidates for election to the Supervisory Board at the Annual General Meeting. The Supervisory Board also takes diversity into account regarding the composition of the Executive Board (Recommendation B.1 of the GCGC). Given the identified qualifications of its members, the Supervisory Board does not yet pursue a diversity concept for the Executive Board. 26 The Supervisory Board, along with the Executive Board and based on the preparatory work by the executive committee, ensures the long-term succession planning of the Executive Board. In addition to the requirements of the German Stock Corporation Act Fraport Annual Report 2021 To Our Shareholders / Joint Statement on Corporate Governance and the German Corporate Governance Code, long-term succession planning takes into account the target set by the Supervisory Board for the proportion of women on the Executive Board as well as other diversity criteria. Taking into account the specific qualification requirements, the structure of the Executive Board (including the division of portfolios), and the aforementioned per- sonnel criteria, the executive committee develops an ideal profile on the basis of which it draws up a shortlist of available candidates. Structured discussions are held with these candidates. A recommendation for a resolution is then submitted to the Supervisory Board. Further information Remuneration of the Executive Board and the Supervisory Board The essential features of the remuneration system as well as the disclosures on the remuneration of the Executive Board and the Supervisory Board for the 2021 fiscal year can be found in the remuneration report.

Depending on their importance for the company, changes to key risks or signif- icant opportunities opening up during the year are published either in an ad hoc disclosure or as part of the financial reporting during the year. The early risk recognition system is also part of the annual audit by the auditor. The effectiveness of the internal control and risk management system, and of the internal auditing system as well as the audit of accounts is monitored by the Supervisory Board.

Compared to the same period in the previous year, traffic in Frankfurt and at the Group’s international airports benefited from the economic recovery, particularly in the third quarter. Passenger numbers in Frankfurt increased by 32.2% to 24.8 million passengers compared to the previous year, in which the first months of that year had not yet been fully burdened by the corona- virus pandemic. Compared to the pre-crisis level of 2019, however, passenger numbers remained significantly lower at –64.8%. The Group’s international airports, in particular the tourist-oriented destinations in Turkey and Greece, predominantly showed clear passenger growth compared to the previous year. Compared to the pre-crisis level in 2019, the Group airports nevertheless recorded significant declines. While passenger numbers throughout the Group continued to be strongly influenced by the coronavirus pandemic, freight volumes in Frankfurt reached a new high of around 2.3 million metric tons. The Frankfurt site thus continues to prove it is the leading freight hub in Europe. In order to reduce costs at the Frankfurt site in the long term and continue to align Fraport with the changing market environment, the strategic program “Zukunft FRA – Relaunch 50” launched in 2020 was continued in 2021. As a result of the headcount reduction program initiated, the number of total employees in the Fraport Group at the Frankfurt site as at December 31, 2021 fell by 4,348 compared to December 31, 2019. In addition, the short-time work schedules that commenced in 2020 were extended for parts of the employees. In view of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, an emergency collective agreement was reached at the end of 2020 for the period 2021 to 2023 for the German airports bound by the Collective Agreement for the Public Service (TVÖD), which Fraport AG and the Group companies FraCares GmbH and FraGround GmbH have also joined. The emergency collective agreement is an im- portant building block for further stabilizing the companies and reducing costs to the extent necessary. The agreement included postponing wage increases, the elimination of collectively agreed performance-based pay, an increased employee contribution to the company pension scheme, and the option of reducing working hours without wage compensation. For Fraport AG, taking into account the staff reductions implemented, it was decided to forego the reduction in working hours and instead implement a more flexible working time arrangement in the operational areas, in which work assignments can be canceled on low-traffic days and reclaimed on busy days. In addition, strict cost management was continued in the 2021 fiscal year and material expenses strictly not operationally neces- sary were eliminated, while planned capital expenditure was reduced or temporarily postponed. Parts of the infrastructure remained closed, especially in the first half of the year. In total, operating expenses at the Frankfurt site in the 2021 fiscal year were thus reduced by around 30% compared to 2019. Savings in operating expenses and measures such as short-time work, reduced working hours, and company leave were also continued at the international Group companies in accordance with local legislation. Also, Group companies with seasonal traffic particularly benefited from flexible cost structures. This meant that fully consolidated international Group companies were able to realize savings on staff and non-staff costs of more than 38% compared to 2019. The German Federal Government and the State of Hesse granted compensation for the holding costs at Frankfurt Airport incurred during the first lockdown in 2020 totaling €159.8 million, which had a positive effect on Group EBITDA and thus also on the liquidity situation and net financial debt. In the past fiscal year, the Group companies also benefited from the negotiations started last year with the responsible authorities and government agencies regarding state aid for losses due to the coronavirus pandemic. The Greek government granted Fraport Greece compensation by waiving the fixed concession payments and granting a later start date for the variable concession fee, which is also to be paid, had a positive effect on other operating income in 2021 totaling €92.8 million. In addition, the waiver of fixed minimum lease payments at Fraport USA in the amount of €35.2 million, the compensation claims made by the two Brazilian Group companies in the amount of €26.5 million, as well as the compensation for the airport closure in 2020 and reimbursement Fraport Annual Report 2021 30 32 Group Management Report / Overview of Business Development Combined Management Report / Information about Reporting Fraport Annual Report 2021 of fixed costs at the Group company Fraport Slovenija in the amount of €6.6 million had a positive effect on other operating income. Discussions on further compensation measures at individual Group companies are currently ongoing. In order to further expand the Group’s liquidity and create additional financial flexibility, extensive financing measures were completed in fiscal year 2021. In total, Fraport raised around €3.1 billion in debt financing measures, taking into account both long-term and short-term financing instruments and secured credit lines. Information about Reporting This report summarizes the management reports of the Fraport Group and Fraport AG (Combined Management Report). The comments on the Fraport Group also apply to Fraport AG. Developments in the asset, financial, and earnings position of Fraport AG can be found in the “Supplementary Management Report on the Separate Financial Statements of Fraport AG” chapter. The non-financial statement is an integral part of the Combined Management Report in accordance with Sections 315b and 315c in conjunction with the Sections 289b to 289e of the German Commercial Code (HGB) and has been extended to comply with the requirements of Regulation (EU) 2020/852 of the European Parliament and of the European Council of June 18, 2020 on the establishment of a framework for facilitating sustainable investment and amending the Regulation (EU) 2019/2088. This can be found in the "Combined non-financial statement” chapter. Group accounting takes account of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in force on the reporting date (Decem- ber 31, 2021) and the interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRS IC) as adopted in the European Union (EU). In addition, Fraport reports the information pursuant to Section 315e (1) HGB. In order to better represent the operating performance year-on-year, revenue is also reported in the Consolidated management report for order revenue from construction and expansion services in accordance with IFRIC 12 (referred to below as: Revenue adjusted for IFRIC 12). These relate to the capacitive capital expenditure in connection with service concession agreements at Group international airports (see also Group Notes, note 4 and note 49). Reporting for 2020 was extended to include the key performance indicator “EBITDA before special items”. EBITDA before special items is adjusted for personnel expenses from the creation of provisions for the “Zukunft FRA – Relaunch 50” program at Fraport AG as well as corresponding measures taken by individual Group companies at the Frankfurt site and amounts overall to €299.0 million. This key performance indicator provided transparency and allowed for a better assessment of the Fraport Group’s operational performance in 2020. The table below shows a reconciliation of the key performance indicator as at Decem- ber 31, 2020. The financial figures for fiscal year 2021 were not influenced by special items for the “Zukunft FRA – Relaunch 50” program.

Fraport Annual Report 2021Fraport Annual Report 2021 Combined Management Report / Situation of the Group Combined Management Report / Situation of the Group 33 35 Situation of the Group Business Model The following section provides an overview of the Fraport Group’s business model and the economically most important Group sites as well as their competitive positions. A leading international airport group Fraport Group (hereinafter also referred to as: Fraport) is among the leading global airport groups with its international portfolio. Fraport provides all operational and administrative services for airport and terminal operation as well as other associated services. Planning and consulting services are also included in the range of services. Passenger traffic, which impacts on a majority of the services the Group provides, is key to the Group’s revenue and earnings performance. The Fraport Group is divided into four segments: Aviation, Retail & Real Estate, Ground Handling, and International Activities & Services. Its main site is the Frankfurt Airport, the largest airport in Germany and one of the most important passenger and freight airports in the world. Fraport AG Airport Services Worldwide (abbreviated Fraport AG) is the owner of Frankfurt Airport. Fraport’s strength lies in integrated airport management, which guarantees comprehensive know-how in all airport services. The Aviation segment covers the operation of landside and airside infrastructure at the Frankfurt site and thus covers the area of airport charges, which is legally regulated in Germany, and the relevant security services. Regulated airport charges consist of passenger, landing, and takeoff fees, security fees and parking fees. This segment is responsible for ensuring safe, efficient, and customer-oriented processes in the flight operating areas and terminals as well as the operational implementation of airport and air safety tasks in compliance with legal requirements. The close cooperation with authorities, in- cluding the Hessian air traffic authority and the German Federal Police, is of great importance to ensure smooth operation of the airside and landside processes. The Retail & Real Estate segment is primarily responsible for the retail activities and the marketing of real estate and land at Frankfurt Airport. Its activities extend from the management of buildings and facilities through to the management and development of the parking and retail areas and the renting of advertising space. The focus is on greater use of online retail offers and sales channels and on further development of the freight infrastructure and areas. The Ground Handling segment consists of loading, baggage, and passenger services, airmail and luggage transport, and freight handling at the Frankfurt Airport. The segment ensures the quality of Frankfurt Airport’s role as a hub, characterized by complex transfer processes. The segment also includes the provision of corporate infrastructure, in particular the baggage transfer system. Usage fees for the corporate infrastructure are regulated. The International Activities & Services segment includes the acquisition, operation, maintenance, development, and expansion of airports and infrastructure facilities abroad. This also includes consulting services, including in the “Operational Readiness and Airport Transfer” (ORAT) section. In addition, it covers the service areas segment for Fraport AG, which provides the central services for the Fraport Group.

Germany accounted for 18.4% Split of the Group result in % 18.4 51,8 % 18.4 81.6 Germany Deutschland 81.6 International Activities 48,2 % Internationales Geschäft External influences The main external factors influencing Fraport’s business model in Germany and abroad include disruptive events, such as extreme weather conditions or pandemics such as the ongoing coronavirus pandemic in 2021, in addition to economic, (socio-)political, and regulatory factors. These influencing factors can affect passenger and freight demand as well as the offer of aircraft movements and seats at the Group’s airports. These external factors also influence the purchasing behavior of passengers at the airports and so directly affect the economic situation of the Fraport Group (see also the “Risk and Opportunities Report” chapter). Fraport Annual Report 2021 Fraport Annual Report 2021 Combined Management Report / Situation of the Group Combined Management Report / Situation of the Group 35 37 Economic growth fosters a demand for air travel and also promotes the prosperity of a society as a whole, which is a prerequisite for private and business travel. Currency rates are closely linked to economic development as well as to the interest rate policies of central banks and international currency trading. These also affect the appeal of tourist destinations, travel flows, and passengers’ booking behavior as well as their buying behavior in the retail area. In addition, exchange rates play an important role in the financial contribution of individual foreign Group companies, for local currencies are converted into the currency of the Group, the euro. Growing inflation rates across the globe due to high energy prices as well as supply bottlenecks and excess demand reduce purchasing power and can have a negative impact on demand for air transport services as prices for air travel and air freight rise. This remains true even if growth in air freight can temporarily benefit from rising tariffs due to scarce sea transport capacities. A key interest rate hike by central banks to combat inflation, in turn, may lead to an economic slowdown, which can have a dampening effect on air traffic demand. Price fluctuations on the commodities market, in particular, the price of crude oil and thus the price of jet fuel, can influence the frequency of travel in the aviation sector. Depending on the market situation, increasing crude oil prices usually translate to a rise in ticket prices and can dampen demand in the aviation sector. This can result in payment difficulties for financially weaker airlines when faced with intense competition, and lead to a reduction in offers. Politics affect Fraport’s business at the regional, national, and international levels. Restrictions on operations, such as bans on night flights and anti-noise measures, as well as travel restrictions can have a negative impact on airline offerings, and so affect passenger numbers and cargo volume. Environmental policy in particular significantly affects air traffic. In this regard, introduc- ing levies is essentially an implementation of environmental policy. Stronger targets and measures discussed within the framework of the Green Deal and the “Fit for 55” program along with the possible introduction of minimum ticket prices can lead to a significant increase in the price of air travel, which may have a correspondingly negative demand effect. A further political influencing factor is the possible liberalization of air traffic rights. This may result in the opening of new markets for air traffic or the expansion of already existing markets. By contrast, sanctions or tightly specified air traffic agreements tend to seal off markets. Disruptive events that could have a massive impact on passenger numbers include, among other things, terrorist attacks, epidemics, pandemics, strikes, and inclement weather conditions. Their occurrence and impact cannot be predicted, but are generally limited in time, and normally in terms of location as well. As in 2020, air traffic was again affected by the coronavirus pandemic in fiscal year 2021. The effects of the pandemic will also be felt in the coming years. Due to the reduced demand, it must be expected that competition between airports and airlines will continue to increase in intensity. In addition, government support to mitigate the social and economic consequences of the coronavirus pandemic led to a significant increase in government debt worldwide. This development was countered with a significant increase in taxes and levies. It could also result in a further burden on private households with possible negative effects on planned travel budgets. It is to be assumed that given its central location and extensive intermodality as a hub, Frankfurt Airport will play a particularly important role in the expected rebound in air traffic after the coronavirus pandemic. Fraport monitors various early warning indicators to identify trends in travel or freight flows at an early stage. At the economic level, this includes the development in gross domestic product and exports and imports (particularly in the European Union and the euro area), industrial production (purchasing manager indices in various markets and production indices for special commodity groups), logistics indicators, or private consumption as well as inflation rates in various economic areas. In addition, indicators specific to flight markets such as travel plans, booking forecasts, or the airlines' publications of flight plans are part of such regular monitoring activities. Fraport Annual Report 2021 36 38 Group Management Report / Situation of the Group Combined Management Report / Situation of the Group Fraport Annual Report 2021 Competitive position at the Frankfurt site Frankfurt Airport is in a competitive position both domestically and internationally. Domestically, there is competition for originating passengers with airports with overlapping catchment areas. Internationally, Frankfurt Airport competes for transfer passengers on the basis of its function as an international transfer airport. The main customer at the Frankfurt site remains Deutsche Lufthansa, which accounted for more than 60% of passengers in Frankfurt in the 2021 fiscal year. The largest competitors for transfer passengers are primarily the hub airports London Heathrow, Paris Charles de Gaulle, Istanbul, Amsterdam Schiphol, and Munich, which are also influenced to varying degrees by their resident main customers British Airways, Air France-KLM, Turkish Airlines, and Deutsche Lufthansa. Due to the dynamic development of many airlines and airports from the Persian Gulf region in the past, the Frankfurt site is also in intercontinental competition with these airports. In particular, the expansion and modernization programs at the Frankfurt site contribute to maintaining and improving its international competitive position. The construction of Terminal 3 ensures long-term landside capacities to give the site a successful future-oriented competitive edge. On this basis, the Executive Board is proceeding with the construction of Terminal 3 despite the consequences of the coronavirus pandemic, although individual measures and placements have been stretched over a longer time horizon. The inauguration of Terminal 3 along with other piers is currently planned for 2026. There was a shuffle in the top 10 European ranking due to the pandemic crisis; given its high domestic traffic share, the new Istanbul Airport (just under 37 million) was once again at the head of the list. Moscow airports also benefited again from the strong domestic traffic volume, so that two of them ranked second and fifth, respectively, in the top 10 European ranking this year. Frankfurt Airport this year once again came in behind Paris Charles de Gaulle (26.2 million), Amsterdam Schiphol (25.5 million), and before Madrid (17.1 million) and London Heathrow (19.4 million). In addition to Frankfurt Airport, the Group’s Antalya Airport (21.9 million) reached ninth place. The Group’s St. Petersburg Airport also benefited from the strong Russian domestic traffic, narrowly missing out on a ranking with 18.0 million passengers. In Germany, Frankfurt Airport was by far the largest passenger airport, ahead of Munich with 12.5 million passengers in the 2021 fiscal year. Based on its air freight turnover of approximately 2.3 million metric tons, Frankfurt has remained Europe’s largest airport in 2021, ahead of Paris Charles de Gaulle and Amsterdam Schiphol. In Germany, Leipzig/Halle Airport was the next largest competitor, with 1.6 million metric tons of cargo. Compared internationally, Frankfurt Airport is among the largest passenger and cargo airports in Europe. Due to the crisis, comparisons of airport traffic are heavily influenced by the share of domestic traffic, the actions taken by the individual departure countries and the varying travel provisions of the destination countries. In 2021, this again resulted in the ranking shifting in favor of airports with traditionally low volume but with a high share of domestic passengers. Conclusions regarding general structural changes in the rankings cannot be drawn yet based on the data.

The Leipzig/Halle Airport is not a member of the ACI Europe and so not reported in the ranking. Source: ADV (12.2021) The punctuality rate at Frankfurt Airport was 74.2% in the 2021 fiscal year, which was 8.7 percentage points below the previous year’s level. In particular, the changed traffic structure posed challenges for the handling activities. So-called “Prachter” (in Geriman, “Prachter” is a mixture of the words for passenger and freight aircraft), i.e., passenger aircraft on which the seats are removed to be able to transport even more freight, increased the handling effort. The unevenly distributed traffic peaks over the course of the day as well as an entire week made capacity and resource planning considerably more difficult to ensure smooth handling.

JetSmart also expanded its fleet in 2021. The on-going expansion project at Jorge Chávez Airport includes the construction of a new passenger terminal, a new runway, including aprons and taxiways, as well as other peripheral infrastructure, in order to provide sufficient capacity for further growth in the South American aviation market in the future. In this regard, 2021 saw significant progress in the construction of the new runway and air traffic control tower, which is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2022. For the new passenger terminal, the concession agreement provides for completion and inauguration in the first quarter of 2025. The traffic and business developments at the strongly tourist-oriented Greek sites, at Varna and Burgas, as well as in Antalya are substantially affected by charter traffic of tourist carriers. There is generally no significant concentration of individual airlines. In addition to the economic development in each respective country where the traffic originates, the sites depend particularly on the appeal of the respective regions with regard to safety, quality, price level, and entry requirements. Fraport Greece operates 14 Greek regional airports. These are the airports in Kerkyra (Corfu), Chania (Crete), Kefalonia, Kavala, Aktion/Preveza, Thessaloniki, Zakynthos, Mykonos, Skiathos, Santorini (Thira), Kos, Mytilene (Lesvos), Rhodes, and Samos. The coronavirus pandemic and the associated restrictions and the reluctance of passengers to travel, especially in the first half of the year, continued to have a noticeable impact on Fraport Greece. Traffic numbers then recovered massively in the summer and fall months. At a number of smaller airports, pre-crisis levels were even exceeded in some months. This development underlines the appeal of Greece as a tourist destination even with the coronavirus pandemic and also shows the potential for a significant in- crease in demand in the coming years. Following the completion of the construction work under the 40-year concession, the charges at the remaining three airports Kos, Santorini, and Thessaloniki were also increased in April 2021 to an average of €18.50 per departing passenger plus local inflation developments, as agreed in the concession agreement. The Black Sea airports in Burgas and Varna were the second and third-largest passenger airports in Bulgaria after Sofia. In addition to charter services, low-cost transport promises further long-term growth potential. Domestic traffic accounted for around 10% of passenger traffic. Wizz Air provided the largest share of passengers by far. In addition to the two aircraft stationed in Varna with a total of 17 destinations, Wizz Air stationed another aircraft in Burgas in the summer of 2021 and will connect the site to 16 destinations during the summer season. Through gradual, modular expansion measures of the terminals, both tourist sites offer sufficient capacity to meet the growth expected for the regions in the medium term. Antalya was the third-largest passenger airport in Turkey in the past fiscal year behind Istanbul Airport and Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen Airport, and is still one of the dominant tourist airports in the Mediterranean region. Along with political and economic stability for the country, the development of traffic in Antalya is heavily dependent on the further progress of the coronavirus pandemic and the demand for vacation travel in the region around Antalya. At the end of 2021, a consortium made up of Fraport and its Turkish partner TAV was awarded the tender for the new operating concession at Antalya Airport. This will start at the beginning of 2027 after the current concession expires and will run until the end of 2051. As part of the new concession, necessary expansion measures at the terminals and other areas at the airport will begin in the first quarter of 2022. This will ensure Antalya Airport will remain highly competitive in the segment of tourist airports in the Mediterranean region in the long term. Pulkovo Airport in St. Petersburg is one of the largest airports in Russia. The development of traffic in 2021 was mainly charac- terized by extensive travel restrictions, which severely affected international traffic. National traffic to the Russian regions, on the other hand, increased significantly in conjunction with a greatly expanded range of low-cost connections and exceeded the pre-crisis level. Further capital expenditure, particularly in domestic traffic handling may become necessary, depending on how things develop. Along with changes to the current travel restrictions and the political stability of the country, development in passenger numbers also depends on the development of the ruble in comparison with the US dollar and the euro, which particu- larly influences the travel behavior of Russian passengers. Fraport Annual Report 2021 Fraport Annual Report 2021 Combined Management Report / Situation of the Group Combined Management Report / Situation of the Group 39 41 Xi’an Airport is one of the largest airports in central China. The site is largely characterized by originating passengers. The currently low share of transfer traffic offers the airport further long-term growth potential due to its geographic position. Additional information about business development in the past fiscal year can be found in the “Economic Report” chapter. Structure Changes compared with the previous year Compared with the previous year, no fundamental changes were made to the legal and organizational Group structure in the 2021 fiscal year. The “Airside & Terminal Management, Corporate Safety & Security” strategic business unit was renamed “Aviation”. Use of this common international term is intended to improve transparency, particularly for customers. Moreover, since April 2021 the “HR Top Executives” central unit have been reporting directly to the Executive Director Retail & Real Estate. In addition, the Group company FraSec Fraport Security Services GmbH was reorganized in 2021. The existing operational areas of activity are being combined based on their specific purpose and split into three independent subsidiaries within FraSec Fraport Security Services GmbH. Since July 1, 2021, all control services in accordance with Section 5 of the German Aviation Security Act (LuftSiG) have been included in FraSec Luftsicherheit GmbH. The security checks according to Sections 8 and 9 of the LuftSiG as well as the classic security and guarding tasks are being combined and allocated to FraSec Flughafensicherheit GmbH. All activities in the service sector are the responsibility of FraSec Services GmbH. The main tasks and personnel of the central units remain in the holding company FraSec Fraport Security Services GmbH. In November 2021, FraSec Luftsicherheit GmbH and the Munich-based Dr. Sasse Group entered into a strategic partnership in the area of aviation security. The common goal is to maintain the high level of quality in the aviation security sector and to continuously improve existing processes. Legal structure of the Group In contrast to time-limited airport operating models, the Fraport Group parent company, Fraport AG, wholly owns and operates Frankfurt Airport with no time limits. With just under 7,900 employees, Fraport AG, which has been stock exchange-listed since 2001, is also the biggest single company of the Group, which has more than 18,400 employees. It directly or indirectly holds the shares in the other Group companies and its head office is in Frankfurt/Main, Federal Republic of Germany. Including the Frankfurt site, Fraport was active at 31 airports through Group companies at the time the consolidated financial statements were prepared (see also the “Key sites” chapter). As at December 31, 2021 there were 59 consolidated companies excluding companies accounted for using the equity method, and 80 companies including companies accounted for using the equity method (in the previous year: 59 and 78 companies, respectively). For a detailed overview of the shareholdings within the Group, please see Group notes, note 57. Fraport Annual Report 2021 40 42 Group Management Report / Situation of the Group Combined Management Report / Situation of the Group Fraport Annual Report 2021 Organizational Group structure As a management body, the Executive Board bears the strategic and operational responsibility for the Group. The Executive Board consisted at the time of preparing the consolidated financial statements of the five members Dr. Stefan Schulte (Chair), Anke Giesen (Executive Director Retail and Real Estate), Michael Müller (Executive Director Labor Relations), Dr. Pierre Dominique Prümm (Executive Director Aviation and Infrastructure), and Prof. Dr. Matthias Zieschang (Executive Director Control- ling and Finance). A detailed description of the structure and operation of the management and control body is presented in the “Joint Statement on Corporate Governance”. The annually updated Joint Statement on Corporate Governance does not form part of the annual audit of the consolidated accounts by the auditor and can be found in the “To Our Shareholders” chapter. For the purpose of managing the Group, the Executive Board has divided the business activities into four segments: “Aviation”, “Retail & Real Estate”, “Ground Handling”, which are largely active at the Frankfurt site, as well as “International Activities & Services”, which primarily includes the Group companies outside of Frankfurt. The segments encompass the strategic business units and service units of Fraport AG and also include the Group companies involved in each of these business processes. In addition to the aforementioned strategic business units and directly allocated service units, Fraport AG’s ten central units in Frankfurt provide, among other things, Group-wide services. As at December 31, 2021, the segment structure of the Fraport Group was as follows: Fraport Group structure Segments1) Directly assigned strategic business and service units Aviation Aviation Retail & Real Estate Ground Handling Retail and Properties Ground Services Key Group companies FraSec Media Frankfurt FraGround FraCareServices Central units International Activities & Services Global Investments and Management Information and Telecommunications Integrated Facility Management Corporate Infrastructure Mangement Fraport USA Fraport Slovenija Fortaleza & Porto Alegre Lima Fraport Greece Twin Star Antalya Thalita / Northern Capital Gateway Xi'an Finance and Investor Relations | Internal Auditing | Investment and Project Controlling | Cost and Profitability Management | Human Resources | Accounting | Legal Affairs and Compliance | Corporate Development, Environment and Sustainability | Corporate Communications | Central Purchasing, Construction Contracts 1) Including assigned Group companies. Fraport Annual Report 2021 Fraport Annual Report 2021 Combined Management Report / Situation of the Group Combined Management Report / Situation of the Group 41 43 Strategy The strategic “Zukunft FRA – Relaunch 50” program was launched in 2020 as a necessary response to the impact of the corona- virus pandemic and continued in 2021. Even before the coronavirus pandemic, weaker general economic development, changes in legal conditions and structural changes in aviation traffic had noticeably affected Fraport, and particularly the Frankfurt site. It was born out of the need to strengthen our competitiveness. The pressure increased exponentially once again in the wake of the effects of the coronavirus pandemic. The program addresses challenges that are structural, organizational, and cultural in nature. The required improvement in results has been drastically expanded both in terms of time and amount, and cost reductions brought more strongly into focus. A central objective of the program to reduce the headcount at the Frankfurt site by around 4,000 was achieved in 2021. As at December 31, 2021, there were around 4,348 fewer employees compared to December 31, 2019. In addition, far-reaching organizational adjustments were defined and implemented as far as possible effective from January 1, 2021. Due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and its recurring negative impact on global air traffic, the main focus is currently on securing liquidity in the long term and adapting resources and capacities to a scenario of around 50 million passengers, so that the company is still profitable with this reduced passenger volume compared to 2019. For this reason, the strategic “Zukunft FRA - Relaunch 50” program aims to reduce costs and increase revenue. In order to ensure the quality of the processes even with a reduced headcount for the long term, the focus is now on the following four program goals: The reduced demand resulting from the coronavirus pandemic and its related overcapacities increase the already intense competition between airports and also increase the high cost and price pressure on airlines. In this scenario, the quality of services rendered and reliable, flexible processes are critical success factors. Fraport’s efforts in this regard are still directed at offering all customer groups an excellent product. The mission statement with the motto “Gute Reise! We make it happen” stands just as before for the necessary focus of the Fraport Group and the entire value chain on customers.

Subsequently, the aviation market is again expected to show stable growth in the long term. Fraport aligns its strategy to the long-term forecasted development of the global aviation market and its market trends. Worldwide economic growth and a globally growing and stronger consuming middle class will particularly have a positive influence on development. Further catch-up and growth effects will result from the global directing of business and education and the forecasted increasing traffic from migration and tourism. Disproportionate growth is still expected from and in the economic emerging markets. .

With the measures initiated under the “Zukunft FRA - Relaunch 50” program and in other areas, Fraport is redirecting the company to ensure competitiveness and to participate sustainably in this growth - both at the Frankfurt site and internationally. Fraport wants to further strengthen the hub function of the Frankfurt site and enhance its appeal for network carriers, but also for the low-cost market in the medium term. This requires that sufficient capacity be available at Frankfurt Airport, both land and airside. In particular, the construction of Terminal 3 will secure the infrastructure required at the site in the long term, which is why Fraport is continuing with it despite the coronavirus pandemic. Fraport is continuing the expansion measures required to meet capacity that it has begun at international sites. The modernization measures at the Greek airports were successfully completed in 2021. At Lima Airport, 2021 saw significant progress in the construction of the new runway and air traffic control tower, which is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2022. For the new passenger terminal, the concession agreement provides for completion and inauguration in the first quarter of 2025. On December 1, 2021, Fraport, together with its partner TAV Airports Holding, received the operating license for Antalya Airport until 2051. As part of the concession, infrastructure projects such as the expansion of Terminal 2 and the creation of new VIP areas are planned (see “Key sites” chapter). The role of Frankfurt Airport as one of the leading cargo hubs in Europe will also be strengthened, and freight will be developed as a strategic mainstay. It was precisely in the coronavirus pandemic that Frankfurt Airport was able to demonstrate its systemic relevance for supplying Germany and the world with essential goods such as protective masks, medications, and medical equip- ment. To ensure long-term competitiveness and meet the needs of industry and consignors, Fraport, together with its site partners, makes sure that the airport meets all requirements for an efficient cargo hub. To this end, Fraport is continually investing in the physical and digital infrastructure of the airport. For example, in 2021 a data exchange platform was commissioned to digitally standardize customs and other import processes at the site. Frankfurt Airport was also selected as a project partner of the Air Cargo Digital Test Field, which is funded with around €7 million by the German Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure. The project will significantly contribute to making air freight more digital and efficient. Fraport is maintaining its long-term growth goals, despite the midrange effects of the coronavirus pandemic on its business model. Traffic volume is expected to follow the general market trend; aviation revenue will increase and sustainable EBITDA growth will be maintained in the non-aviation segment. International business is also expected to grow, and its share of Group EBITDA and results will increase over the long-term. Fraport particularly uses the passenger numbers at Frankfurt Airport as well as at the Group airports as an indicator for the Group- wide growth in traffic. The corresponding figures can be found in the “Business development” chapter. Fraport measures Group-wide growth in the result and controls this, among other things, by monitoring the development of Group EBITDA and the Group result, the ROFRA, net financial debt to EBITDA ratio, and free cash flow. A description of the development of performance indicators during the past fiscal year can be found in the “The Group’s results of operations”, “Asset and financial position”, and “Value management” chapters. The associated forecasted figures for the 2022 fiscal year can be found in the “Business outlook” chapter. The key risks and opportunities associated with the expansion of airport infrastructure in and outside of Frankfurt can be found in the “Risk and Opportunities Report“. Fraport Annual Report 2021 Fraport Annual Report 2021 Combined Management Report / Situation of the Group Combined Management Report / Situation of the Group 45 47 Service-oriented airport operator The mission statement and the claim “Gute Reise! We make it happen” show the aspiration of having a strong customer and service orientation at all sites. Group airports will reach a leading position in their respective aviation market through motivated employees, efficient processes, and infrastructure that meets current needs. In 2021, special emphasis was placed on the health of customers and the best possible reduction of infection risk due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, both in Frankfurt and at the international airports. All sites undertook extensive measures to guarantee safe airport operation at all sites. The measures in Frankfurt were also subjected to an audit by the TÜV Hesse and awarded the TÜV “Safe against Corona” seal. Frankfurt Airport and the Group airports in Greece and Bulgaria received the Airport Health Accreditation awarded by ACI for the successful implementation of organizational, infrastructural, and personnel measures to protect against the coronavirus. Generally, passengers increasingly expect individual offers that make travel more convenient and intelligent. To create added value for travelers, Fraport offers its passengers these throughout the entire travel chain, from planning all the way through to the end of the journey. Fraport is increasingly relying on technological solutions for this. A particular focus is also placed on reliable loading of baggage on departures and fast baggage reclaim on arriving flights, as the baggage process has a major impact on customer satisfaction. The biometric baggage recognition solution developed by Fraport won the ACI Innovation Award last year and demonstrates Fraport’s intensive efforts to continuously improve its services to customers. Fraport and the Federal Ministry reached an agreement for Fraport to take over responsibility for carrying out security checks at Frankfurt Airport from 2023. Fraport is thus pursuing the goal of better integrating control processes into existing procedures and so avoiding waiting times as much as possible. Such waiting times were often a point of criticism by passengers and airlines before the coronavirus pandemic. With the relocation of the security checks in Terminal 1, Hall B to a northern section of the airport, Fraport is consistently continuing the further development of its existing terminal areas. Initially, the eastern part of the new security checkpoint will be built in Hall B, with implementation in the western section to follow. Overall, 16 security checkpoints with state-of-the-art technical installations will be created in Hall B. The conversion will increase the capacity of the security checkpoints, provide for a larger airside retail offer, and make transfers from Pier A to Pier B more efficient and comfortable. To prepare, the check-in counters in Halls A and B are currently being gradually upgraded to the latest technical state-of-the-art and equipped with modern check-in and baggage drop-off machines. In addition to the passengers, airport business partners including airlines, retailers, and logistics specialists are of key importance to Fraport. Fraport provides its partners Group-wide with an optimum commercial basis, so that they can successfully compete. Technologically supported processes and interfaces are continuously improved and procedures simplified and accelerated. Fraport and Lufthansa have agreed to intensify their strategic and operational collaboration. The goal is to jointly improve passen- ger processes and experiences, exploit efficiency potential, and further expand the central role of the Frankfurt hub in international competition. Customer and service orientation will be continually improved at all Group airports. Understanding customer needs and obtaining feedback is essential for this. This is why customer surveys are regularly conducted in Frankfurt and at the Group airports. However, these were suspended or conducted in abbreviated form in 2020/21 due to the coronavirus pandemic. Fraport is still continually engaged in direct exchange with its business partners. Fraport uses, among other things, non-financial performance indicators to measure the objective of “Service-oriented airport operator”. The global passenger satisfaction in Frankfurt reflects the effectiveness and success of all passenger-oriented processes and service offers that aim to increase passenger satisfaction and loyalty at the site. Also, baggage connectivity is an essential measure for performance as a hub airport. The punctuality rate is another quality indicator for Frankfurt as a hub airport (see also the “Business model” chapter). Fraport Annual Report 2021 46 48 Group Management Report / Situation of the Group Combined Management Report / Situation of the Group Fraport Annual Report 2021 Fraport Annual Report 2021 Combined Management Report / Situation of the Group 47 The most important performance indicators related to the Group objective “Service-oriented airport operator” can be found in the “Control” chapter. A description of their development during the past fiscal year can be found in the “Non-financial performance indicators” chapter; the associated measures and forecasted figures for the 2022 fiscal year can be found in the “Combined non- financial report” and “Business outlook” chapters. Economically successful through optimal cooperation All Group companies, business fields, and services within the Fraport Group provide their services under quality and cost structures that can keep pace with specialized air traffic service providers. Optimized collaboration within the Group enables the operating cost to be reduced further and made more flexible. The initial challenge in fiscal years 2020 and 2021 was to ensure and further expand liquidity in the Fraport Group. For this reason, Fraport reacted early to the drop in traffic figures and immediately introduced cost reductions both at its home site in Frankfurt and in Group airports worldwide. This led to all material expenses that were not absolutely necessary being reduced as much as possible. All capital expenditure in the pipeline in Frankfurt was reduced or temporarily postponed. The headcount reduction under the strategic “Zukunft FRA - Relaunch 50” program was implemented, thereby also reducing personnel costs structurally. The model for short-time work schedules was also used and thus the work output was adapted to the reduced volume of work until the end of 2021. In order to counteract the expected economic consequences of the coronavirus pandemic, while at the same time ensuring the necessary personnel, including preserving qualified workers for the operational management of the rebounding air traffic, the possibilities of short-time work schedules were used and an emergency collective agreement was reached for German passenger airports, to which Fraport has also ascribed. It is essential to sustainably adapt the processes, organization, and culture of the Fraport Group to ensure our long-term profita- bility and success as well as ensure they remain agile. And so employee pools are being created through the bundling of identical or similar areas of responsibility, such as in corporate infrastructure management, in order to manage and fully utilize resources more efficiently. Processes are also being consistently streamlined. For a structured, systematic approach, the Prozessoptimi- erung@FRA program was set up under the sponsorship of the Executive Board. Not least of all, decision-making processes will be decidedly shorter, enhancing speed of implementation in the company. An important milestone along this path is the establishment and strengthening of a project organization in many sections, and so a clearly flatter management structure. Manager-to-staff ratios were expanded and management depth reduced by reclassifying management positions as specialist positions and the reintroduction of a specialist and project career path. The most important financial performance indicators relating to the Group objective “Economically successful through optimal cooperation” can be found in the “Control” chapter. A description of the development of performance indicators during the past fiscal year can be found in the “The Group’s results of operations”, “Asset and financial position”, and “Value management” chapters. The associated forecasted figures for the 2022 fiscal year can be found in the “Business outlook” chapter. Learning organization & digitalization Flexible and fast response is part of everyday operations for Fraport as a service provider. Risks and opportunities are recognized at an early stage, and changes in the market are anticipated. Learning takes place every day and everywhere, both in terms of leadership and in the area of expertise. In this regard, Fraport provides continued training, interactive learning, modern agile project techniques, and active feedback. Continuously developing the corporate culture is a clear focus. Collaboration between divisions will be strengthened by agile working methods, and the service management culture will be expanded. In order to fulfill the requirement of learning from each other, the regular exchange between technical experts from the Fraport Group on specific airport management issues was continued. Economic development is characterized by its fast pace and uncertainty. The ability to adapt is a key factor here. In this sense and in order to take advantage of the opportunities offered by digitalization and innovation, the strategy on digitalization and innovation adopted in 2020 was implemented. Fraport sees digitalization and innovation as a lever in order to quickly improve the financial earnings position; they are used to open up earnings potential, reduce costs, and thus increase competitiveness. Fraport also wants to create competitive cost structures through standardization and automation. In this context, repetitive processes are identified and the possible replacement of certain manual tasks by robotic process automation is explored. The first pilot projects for this purpose in 2021 were conducted in the area of accounting. A roll-out will also take place in other areas. Other projects initiated by the Digital Factory are pursuing the digitalization of analog and manual processes. As a result, 14 projects in cooper- ation with external partners successfully led to the development of Minimum Viable Products within three months over the course of the past fiscal year. For example, automatic license plate recognition has improved the access process for our customers in CargoCity Süd, and a yield management was introduced for our parking space management. In 2022, the focus of the digitalization and innovation strategy will be on expanding the Digital Factory within the entire Fraport Group. More innovations and ideas in the Fraport Group can be found in the “Research and development” chapter. Fairness and recognition for partners and neighbors Fraport aims to be respectful and appreciative of its partners and neighbors Group-wide. Fraport takes its corporate responsibility seriously as an attractive and responsible employer for its employees. Fraport retains qualified and motivated employees through long-term, systematic opportunities for further development, attractive employee offers, and talent management programs, and so ensures its own competitiveness. Fraport wants to continue to offer many of these services and programs, even as the coronavirus pandemic unavoidably mandated the introduction of short-time work and material cost reductions. In this regard, apprentices that are completing their training in 2022 will be offered a temporary position so that they can obtain initial professional experience directly after their training. As a responsible employer, Fraport also respects and promotes personal diversity and attaches great importance to ensuring that this is reflected in the way employees interact with each other. The Group agreement “Conduct of Partnership, Diversity, and Equality in the Workplace” formed the platform for principles such as freedom from discrimination and equal opportunities. Fraport particularly focuses on developmental measures that increase the share of women in management positions in the first and second levels directly below the Executive Board and at the respective management levels at the German Group companies. Comprehensive, integrated occupational health and safety is also an important component of overall corporate responsibility in the Fraport Group. Occupational health and safety was again particularly emphasized in fiscal year 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic. Extensive protective measures were undertaken both at the Frankfurt site and internationally, such as the implemen- tation of constantly changing occupational safety rules, the requirement to wear nose and mouth coverings, distance markings, the use of hygienic safety screens or dividers, and the installation of disinfectant dispensers. Work processes were also adapted to make everyday operations as safe as possible for employees in observance of legally prescribed coronavirus protective measures. Employees were continuously informed and made aware of applicable hygiene and behavioral regulations through information materials and instructions. Being a good neighbor also means communal, cultural, and social engagement in the respective regions. The “Active for the Region” support concept primarily serves to boost clubs and support volunteer work in the region around Frankfurt Airport. The company also supports both popular and professional sports and maintains long-term partnerships with cultural institutions in Frankfurt. Even at the sites of the international Group companies, regions close to the airport also benefit from the economic performance, such as through donations or sponsorship activities undertaken by each Group company independently. However, in 2021 and presumably in the years to come, due to the effects of the coronavirus pandemic the company has been forced to reduce expenses Group-wide. Fraport is committed to fulfilling the environmental requirements associated with airport operations. In the area of climate protec- tion, Fraport has set the goal of reducing Group-wide CO2 emissions to a total of 120,000 metric tons by 2030 and to be completely CO2 neutral by 2045. In 2021, CO2 emissions were 163,520 metric tons (see also the “Control” and “Non-financial performance indicators” chapters). No emissions will be compensated. In order to cover the electricity demand from renewable energies, Fraport AG has been purchasing electricity from existing onshore wind turbines since July 2021. In addition, a Corporate Power Purchase Agreement on the purchase of wind energy was concluded to begin in mid-2026. The company is also committed to generating its own electricity at the airport and so is pursuing the expansion of photovoltaic systems on site (see also the “Combined non- financial statement” chapter).

Fraport also wants to create competitive cost structures through standardization and automation. In this context, repetitive processes are identified and the possible replacement of certain manual tasks by robotic process automation is explored. The first pilot projects for this purpose in 2021 were conducted in the area of accounting. A roll-out will also take place in other areas. Other projects initiated by the Digital Factory are pursuing the digitalization of analog and manual processes. As a result, 14 projects in cooper- ation with external partners successfully led to the development of Minimum Viable Products within three months over the course of the past fiscal year. For example, automatic license plate recognition has improved the access process for our customers in CargoCity Süd, and a yield management was introduced for our parking space management. In 2022, the focus of the digitalization and innovation strategy will be on expanding the Digital Factory within the entire Fraport Group. More innovations and ideas in the Fraport Group can be found in the “Research and development” chapter. Fairness and recognition for partners and neighbors Fraport aims to be respectful and appreciative of its partners and neighbors Group-wide. Fraport takes its corporate responsibility seriously as an attractive and responsible employer for its employees. Fraport retains qualified and motivated employees through long-term, systematic opportunities for further development, attractive employee offers, and talent management programs, and so ensures its own competitiveness.

Fraport Annual Report 2021 48 50 Group Management Report / Situation of the Group Combined Management Report / Situation of the Group Fraport Annual Report 2021 In addition to Frankfurt, the international Group airports are also increasingly participating in the Airport Carbon Accreditation of the Airports Council International (ACI) (see also the “Combined non-financial statement” chapter). Active and passive noise abatement also serves to limit the negative effects of aviation traffic on its environment. Emission-related airport charges at the Frankfurt site provide financial incentives for airlines to use aircraft with low pollutant and noise emissions. Noise protection measures in accordance with national and local noise protection regulations have been applied and monitoring systems implemented at Group airports as well. Fraport uses employee satisfaction, the ratio of women in management positions, as well as the sickness rate to verify its objective of being an attractive and responsible employer. In addition to CO2 emissions, the Executive Board has defined these indicators as the most important non-financial performance indicators for the “Fairness and recognition for partners and neighbors” objective (see also the “Control” chapter). A description of its development during the past fiscal year can be found in the “Non-financial performance indicators” chapter; the associated measures and forecasted figures for the 2022 fiscal year can be found in the “Combined non-financial report” and “Business outlook” chapters. Control The Control chapter explains the most important key figures used by the Executive Board to make the corporate measures taken as part of the Group strategy measurable and to evaluate them. Here, the Executive Board differentiates between financial and non-financial performance indicators. Changes compared with the previous year Despite the restrictions imposed by the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, the measurement of the non-financial performance indicators of global satisfaction, baggage connectivity, and CO2 emissions has resumed, albeit to a different degree. Employee satisfaction was surveyed in the 2021 fiscal year as part of pulse checks at Fraport AG. Employee satisfaction in the Group was not surveyed. Beginning with the reporting for the 2021 fiscal year, the Executive Board will focus on the following key financial and non-financial performance indicators, the developments of which are presented in the “Results of operations”, “Asset and financial position”, “Value management”, and “Non-financial performance indicators” chapters, and for which corresponding forecasts have been formulated in the “Business outlook” chapter.

Financial performance indicators For Fraport, the growth-oriented development of financial performance indicators is critical for the long-term success of the company. The overriding importance of these indicators is reflected in the Group strategy as a set of criteria for the Group objectives “Growth in Frankfurt and internationally” and “Economically successful through optimal cooperation”. Control, derived from the Group strategy, is carried out primarily at the Group level, and segment-specific key figures are used to aid the process. Fraport mainly uses key figures relating to the consolidated results of operations and to the Group asset and financial position, as well as key figures that link the results of operations with the asset and financial position, as key financial performance indicators (value management). In accordance with the long-term oriented Group strategy, the Executive Board manages and evaluates the development of financial performance indicators while also taking account of long-term forecasted market developments. In this Fraport Annual Report 2021 50 52 Group Management Report / Situation of the Group Combined Management Report / Situation of the Group Fraport Annual Report 2021 context, strategic measures – such as the implementation of larger capital expenditure projects or the expansion of international business – can also lead to a short- to medium-term burden on the financial performance indicators. The key financial performance indicators and their significance for Fraport are described in the following. The description of their development during the past fiscal year can be found in the “The Group’s results of operations”, “Asset and financial position”, and “Value management” chapters. The associated forecasted figures for the 2022 fiscal year can be found in the “Business outlook” chapter. Definitions for calculating the financial key figures can be found in the “Glossary” chapter. Results of operations key figures The results of operations include the presentation and explanation of significant earnings components and key figures. While the results of operations in the context of regular reporting provide information about the past business development and are forecasted in the business outlook, earnings forecasts are also regularly drawn up over long-term periods for internal planning purposes. The information resulting from this is essential for the Executive Board in relation to the company’s long-term management. The key financial performance indicators for Fraport are revenue adjusted for IFRIC 12, EBITDA, EBIT, and the Group result. EBITDA and, indirectly, the Group result through the earnings per share (EPS) are part of the Executive Board remuneration and underline the relevance of these financial key figures as a control element (see also the “Remuneration report” at www.fraport.com/publications). Asset and financial position key figures As well as in the results of operations, the result of the strategically adopted measures and operating activities of Fraport is also reflected in the Group’s asset and financial position. Regardless of the negative effects of the coronavirus pandemic on the key performance indicators, the development of the shareholders’ equity ratio, the net financial debt to EBITDA ratio and free cash flow are of particular significance for Fraport. Also, the Group’s liquidity under the influence of the coronavirus pandemic was introduced as a control parameter. The level of the shareholders’ equity ratio represents the basis for the current and future operating activities for Fraport. A solid base of shareholders’ equity is, for example, essential for the financing of large strategic projects, such as the expansion of the Frankfurt Airport Expansion South project at Frankfurt Airport, and it is also a benchmark for creditworthiness of the company. The aim is to achieve a shareholders’ equity ratio of at least 30%. Furthermore, the net financial debt to EBITDA ratio and the free cash flow in particular serve as key financial indicators to the Executive Board to assess financial strength. The net financial debt to EBITDA ratio provides information on the financial stability of the company and how many years are required to repay the net financial debt via EBITDA, if consistent figures are assumed for both indicators. The Executive Board has decided on a ratio of a maximum of five for this performance indicator and is resolved to reach this target value again in the medium term after the effects of the coronavirus pandemic are overcome. The free cash flow provides information about the financial resources available to the Group from the operating activities of a period after deducting operating capital expenditure activities. These free funds can be retained in order to increase the company’s liquidity and to be available as a financial reserve for future capital expenditure or to reduce the leverage (the gearing ratio) and/or can be distributed among shareholders as dividends. Based on the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on Fraport’s operational business activity and due to the ongoing capital expenditure activity in Frankfurt and internationally, the Executive Board is assuming a negative free cash flow over the medium term. The Group’s liquidity provides information on the financial stability of the Fraport Group, even over a long period of time. The Executive Board strives to ensure above-average liquidity coverage throughout the entire period of the coronavirus pandemic. Fraport Annual Report 2021 Fraport Annual Report 2021 Combined Management Report / Situation of the Group Combined Management Report / Situation of the Group 51 53 Links between the results of operations and the asset and financial position (value management) To increase the Group’s value in the long term, the Executive Board specifically draws parallels between the development of the results of operations and the asset and financial position. In this context, the Executive Board plans and manages the Group’s development according to the principles of value management. At Fraport, the most important measurement and steering figure of this approach is the “Return on Fraport assets”, in short: ROFRA, which makes the different-sized segments of the Fraport Group comparable in terms of economic enhancement. Compared to the current WACC, the ROFRA shows whether the business units created value (ROFRA > WACC) or not (ROFRA < WACC). The coronavirus pandemic has had a decidedly negative effect on the economic enhancement of the segments. The calculation of the WACC is shown in the “Value added” chapter. ROFRA Adjusted EBIT Fraport-Assets EBIT + Pre-tax result of the Group companies accounted for using the equity method Goodwill ÷ Investments in airport operating projects at cost/2 + Other intangible assets at cost/2 + + Construction in progress and lands at cost + Other property, plant, and equipment at cost/2 + Carrying amounts of the Group companies accounted for using the equity method and other investments Inventories + + Trade accounts receivable – Current trade accounts payable The ROFRA is calculated on the basis of the EBIT extended by the results before taxes of the Group companies accounted for using the equity method divided by the Fraport assets. The Fraport assets are defined as the average of the Group’s or segments’ fixed interest-bearing capital required for operations including the carrying amounts of the Group companies accounted for using the equity method. To avoid economic enhancement coming solely from depreciation and amortization of assets, the Executive Board recognizes regularly depreciable or amortizable assets within Fraport assets at half of their historical acquisition/manufac- turing costs (at cost/2), and not at residual carrying amounts. Goodwill and investments in Group companies accounted for using the equity method and other assets not included in depreciation and amortization, in particular assets in construction, are recog- nized in full at cost because they are not subject to regular depreciation and amortization. Within the scope of the initial implementation of IFRS 16, other property, plant, and equipment also includes the rights to use resulting from leasing contracts. They are included in the calculation as half at cost. ROFRA is also an element of the Executive Board remuneration and underlines the long-term goal of Group-wide business activities that create value (see also the “Remuneration report” at www.fraport.com/publications). Non-financial performance indicators In addition to the key figures for its financial development, Fraport measures the development of “non-financial performance indicators”, which are also essential for the long-term success of the company and result primarily from the Group objectives “Service-oriented airport operator” and “Fairness and recognition for partners and neighbors”. The description of the development of the most important non-financial performance indicators during the past fiscal year as well as the implemented measures are presented in the “Non-financial performance indicators” and “Combined non-financial report” chapters. The associated forecasted figures for the 2022 fiscal year can be found in the “Business outlook” chapter. More infor- mation on the topic of “Corporate Social Responsibility” can be found on the company website at www.fraport.com/responsibility. This reporting is not a part of the Combined Management Report nor the audit of consolidated financial statements by the auditor. Fraport Annual Report 2021 52 54 Group Management Report / Situation of the Group Combined Management Report / Situation of the Group Fraport Annual Report 2021 Customer satisfaction and product quality For Fraport, the quality of performed services and the associated customer satisfaction are decisive competitive factors and of key significance for the long-term success of the business. The clear objective is to raise its own quality and a high level of customer satisfaction. Fraport uses a number of performance indicators for the purposes of measurement and control. The key indicators include the global satisfaction of passengers and baggage connectivity. Global satisfaction describes passengers’ satisfaction with the services and processes offered and the overall service at Frankfurt Airport. As in 2020, the past reporting year 2021 was once again marked by the impact of the coronavirus pandemic. Data on the global satisfaction of passengers was collected in the first half of 2021 in a further abbreviated permanent passenger survey (Fraport MONITOR) compared to the previous year. The shortened questionnaire was largely retained, and 900 interviews were conducted per month. Along with the regular long-term passenger survey, Fraport continued a method test, which was launched in 2020. In this test, at least 400 passengers per month filled out the questionnaire of the Fraport MONITOR themselves in the first half of 2021 instead of being asked questions directly by interviewers. Passengers were able to do this on their own mobile device (smartphone, tablet, laptop) or on a tablet provided by the interviewers on site. This digital self-administered survey completely replaced the previous face-to-face survey effective July 1, 2021. In order to take into account valuation differences due to the new format of the survey, customer satisfaction for 2021 is reported separately for the first and second half of the year. The Fraport MONITOR will be continued in a reduced scope in 2022. The basic questionnaire and the number of satisfaction criteria to be queried remain largely unchanged. The sample size will be increased in stages depending on the forecasted passenger numbers. Due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the originally planned number of passenger satisfaction surveys could not be performed at the fully consolidated international Group airports. The data collected in 2021 are therefore not adequate for determining a valid figure for global satisfaction in the foreign portfolio for the reporting period. This consequently also applies for Group global satisfaction in the Group, which could not be determined for 2021 due to a lack of complete data. As a result, the Executive Board has resolved to not use global satisfaction as a control value in 2021 for the Fraport Group. For Fraport AG, the key figure is still relevant for control. The target value for global satisfaction of 80% for Frankfurt Airport remained unchanged throughout the 2021 reporting year despite the change in the format of the survey. This target value is to be maintained until the inauguration of Terminal 3. Fraport has set a goal of at least 85% commencing from the year that Terminal 3 opens. The target value of Group global satisfaction, which is a weighted average of global satisfaction in Frankfurt and at the fully consolidated international airports, also remained unchanged at 80%. The recording of global satisfaction in the Group will be implemented as soon as the regular passenger surveys at all fully consolidated international airports are resumed in full. Baggage connectivity provides information about the percentage of baggage at Frankfurt Airport that is loaded on time in relation to the total departing baggage. Baggage connectivity measures, among other things, the performance of the airport in its role as a hub with a transfer share of about 50%, and thus a high proportion of transfer baggage. A high and stable connectivity proves the good quality of baggage processes. The objective also remains the achievement of a long-term baggage connectivity of more than 98.5%. Attractive and responsible employer For Fraport, appeal and responsibility as an employer is, like customer satisfaction and product quality, a key factor to ensure the long-term success of the business. Fraport AG understands appeal to mean the creation of good working conditions in order to gain and retain committed and qualified employees. In order to measure and control its appeal and responsibility as an employer, Fraport uses various performance indicators, such as employee satisfaction and the ratio of women in management positions. Employee satisfaction is a central instrument for measuring employee mood. Fraport is convinced that satisfied employees achieve better customer loyalty and improved performance. This key figure is calculated annually by surveying employees of Fraport AG and the Group companies. All labor-intensive Group companies in Frankfurt and in Greece, Slovenia, Bulgaria, and Brazil last took part in the survey in 2019. Fraport Annual Report 2021 Fraport Annual Report 2021 Combined Management Report / Situation of the Group Combined Management Report / Situation of the Group 53 55 Due to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on operations at all locations of the Fraport Group, in 2020 and 2021 measurement of employee satisfaction using the normal instrument of the Fraport Barometer was waived. Given the significant changes in the content and framework conditions of all employees’ tasks due to the pandemic and its impact on operations, a true assessment of satisfaction values and a meaningful comparison with the previous year’s figures is not possible. Instead of the methodically sound but complex instrument that is the Group-wide employee survey, so-called pulse checks were initially introduced at Fraport AG. The short, compact online surveys measure the “pulse” of the company over a longer period and provides a view of the mood and satisfaction of the staff. In addition, general questions provide a rough guide for Fraport’s handling of the crisis. The pulse checks instrument will be used until the resumption of the employee survey. In doing so, the Executive Board aims to maintain at least the same level of satisfaction at Fraport AG as the previous year. As a responsible employer, Fraport AG respects and promotes personal diversity and attaches great importance to ensuring that this is reflected in the way employees interact with each other. Diversity is a key goal for Fraport AG, which the Group systemati- cally addresses as part of its diversity management. Fraport places particular focus on promoting women in management positions at the two levels directly below the Executive Board as well as at the respective management levels at the German Group companies. This corresponds to the objectives in the “Act on Equal Participation of Women and Men in Management Positions in the Private and Public Sector”. For reporting purposes, executives who report directly to the Executive Board are categorized as level 1. Executives who report to this first level of management are categorized as level 2. Regarding the Group companies in Germany, the levels of management are categorized based on comparable positions at Fraport AG. In the reporting up to 2021, the targets for the two reporting levels have been summarized. In accordance with the “Act to Supplement and Amend the Regulations for the Act on Equal Participation of Women and Men in Management Positions in the Private and Public Sector”, the development of the proportion of women in management positions from 2022 onwards will be shown separately for each reporting level. The goal is to increase the proportion of women in management positions in the Group in Germany, at the first management level below the Executive Board to 30.8% and at the lower management level to 30.2% by the end of 2026. For Fraport AG, the proportion of women in management positions is to be increased accordingly to 31.8% at the first management level and 30.9% at the lower management level. Fraport respects local circumstances and therefore does not impose any quotas based on German law on the foreign Group companies. Occupational health and safety As a responsible employer, Fraport contributes to increasing and maintaining employees’ performance and preventing work-related health hazards through preventive health management. Fraport evaluates the effectiveness of the measures for health management by, among other things, continuously analyzing the sickness rate. The calculation excluding illness-related absences beyond sick pay (extended sick leave) primarily reflects the development of short- and medium-term illnesses. The effects of demographic change in the Group and the corresponding increase in the average age of employees contribute, among other things, to a linear increase in the number of long-term illnesses. The focus is basically on limiting or reversing the sickness rate, which is increasing due to seasonal and age-related absences, among other things. Beginning with the reporting for 2019, the Executive Board has limited the Group sickness rate to the German Group companies. Due to different regional legal regulations, but also due to the personnel structures that differ in the German Group companies, the sick leave rate in the international Group companies plays a subordinate role for local management. The objective, for both the Fraport Group in Germany as well as for Fraport AG, is a maximum rate of 7.2% by 2025. Moreover, the focus for occupational health and safety in the Group currently continues to be on measures to cope with the coronavirus pandemic. Fraport Annual Report 2021 54 56 Group Management Report / Situation of the Group Combined Management Report / Situation of the Group Fraport Annual Report 2021 Climate protection The operation of an airport and air traffic have various effects on the environment. Fraport is committed to the due and proper consideration of the environmental requirements associated with this. Fraport’s environmental policy places importance on the sustainable and careful use of natural resources. As part of this effort, environmental management systems have been introduced and implemented at Fraport AG as well as in all fully consolidated Group companies that are classified as “fundamentally envi- ronmentally relevant” based on their business activities. The Executive Board has determined CO2 emissions as the most important key figure for measuring environmental impact. In 2021, Fraport adjusted its Group-wide targets and terms for CO2 emissions in order to make an active contribution to climate neutrality. The objective is to reduce CO2 emissions that are directly or indirectly attributable to Fraport AG and the fully consolidated Group airports to 120,000 metric tons by 2030. If necessary, the objective will be adjusted to any changes in Fraport’s airport portfolio. Fraport AG seeks to reduce CO2 emissions at Frankfurt Airport to 75,000 metric tons by 2030. This is also an important step toward climate neutrality, which is to be achieved in 2045. By this time, Fraport wants to be completely CO2-free. Along the way, Fraport has set interim goals for itself. By 2040, CO2 emissions are to be reduced to 40,000 metric tons in the Group and to 25,000 metric tons at Fraport AG. Compensation is excluded when targets are achieved (“Net Zero Carbon” according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change). Finance Management The core objectives of finance management of Fraport AG are securing liquidity, limiting financial risks, achieving an appropriate level of profitability, and ensuring flexibility. The highest priority is to secure liquidity. Based on the Group’s solid shareholders’ equity base, this is generally secured through both internal financing via operating cash flow and external financing in the form of debt. Simple and transparent financing concepts are being pursued in connection with how financing is structured at Fraport AG as well as in the international business activities. Financial risks caused, among other things, by foreign currencies are met first and foremost by financing in the respective currency to the extent possible (natural hedging). The following section shows how finance management is implemented at Fraport AG. To secure liquidity within the scope of its finance management, Fraport AG aims to achieve balanced financing composed of bilateral loans, private placements/bonds (capital market), loan financing from public loan institutions, and promissory note loans. The significant financing measures at Fraport AG are related mainly to ensuring operational liquidity, refinancing existing financial maturities, and to the capital requirement, particularly for capital expenditure in Terminal 3 at the Frankfurt site. In addition, the negative free cash flow in fiscal year 2021 had to be offset by various financing measures. This negative free cash flow resulted, on the one hand, from the capital expenditure on expansion projects, but, on the other hand, it was increased further by the continued low passenger numbers as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. Despite the demanding financing environment, Fraport AG succeeded not only in obtaining the required funds on the capital market, but also in substantially increasing its liquidity reserve. Among the financing instruments used, the issuance of a bond in the first quarter in the amount of €1.1 billion is particu- larly noteworthy. Appropriate financing instruments are selected based on the situation, i.e., depending on how attractive the price is, the respective availability of the volume of the financing, and complying with a balanced financing mix. In keeping with the long- term nature of capital expenditure, the financing of these projects is mostly long term as well. In line with the finance policy, loans can be borrowed both at a fixed and at a floating interest rate. To reduce interest rate risks from borrowing with floating interest rates, interest rate hedging transactions can be concluded as a rule. In addition, Fraport AG has a strategic liquidity reserve to ensure its independence from financing sources. To cover payments expected in the short term, Fraport AG holds time deposits and liquid securities with a short remaining term. Fraport AG limits default risks in its liquidity reserves with broadly diversified investment. Within Asset Management, investment primarily takes place in corporate bonds with an investment grade rating. The majority of the investments concern listed corporate bonds and promissory note loans, commercial paper, and time deposits at banks. All the investments are fungible or can be liquidated at any time on short notice. The majority of the fully consolidated Group companies in Germany are integrated into the Fraport AG cash pool. The liquidity in these Group companies is permanently guaranteed – via access to their own liquidity at any time as well as, within the scope of the agreements also concluded in some cases, to the financial resources of Fraport AG – so that external financing is not neces- sary. At the same time, the close connection of these companies to Fraport AG also ensures that attention is paid to other strategic objectives of financial management within these Group companies. Fraport Annual Report 2021 Fraport Annual Report 2021 Combined Management Report / Situation of the Group Combined Management Report / Situation of the Group 55 57 For the fully consolidated foreign Group companies and the Group companies included using the equity method, liquidity is secured depending on the relevant company shareholding, either by concluding project financing, bilateral loans, or by internal provision of funding via a Group loan or shareholders’ equity. Taking into account the specific characteristics of a project as well as the local conditions, a decision is reached on how the necessary financing is provided to the fully consolidated Group compa- nies. As a rule, Group companies included using the equity method are used in classic project financing structures in which the risk for Fraport AG is generally limited to the transferred capital and, where applicable, additionally necessary assumption of liability. The substantial strategic financing measures in the foreign Group companies relate, in particular, to the expansion commitments within the framework of the concession agreements for Lima and Antalya. Regarding the financing of capital expenditure in Brazil, further drawdowns from the loan agreements concluded in 2018 in the local currency were made in fiscal year 2021. Since the capital expenditure measures have essentially been completed, only a few withdrawals for the remaining projects will be made in the coming months. It is planned to finance the existing expansion commitments in Lima with a financing mix consisting of shareholders´ equity to be additionally contributed, the operating cash flow, and external financing. Over US$450 million in financing was obtained in 2020 as an initial step in procuring external capital. Due to the effects on the consolidated statement of financial position as at December 31, 2021, the financing and liquidity analysis in the “Asset and financial position” chapter relates to Fraport AG and the fully consolidated Group companies in Germany and abroad. Further substantial financial risks and opportunities are indicated in the risk and opportunities report. Value added In addition to the ROFRA, Fraport uses the value added as a measure of economic enhancement. The value added is annually consolidated and recorded at Group and at segment level. It is calculated from the “adjusted” EBIT, which also includes the results before taxes of the Group companies accounted for using the equity method, minus the Fraport assets multiplied by the WACC. The calculation of the Fraport assets is shown in the “Control” chapter. Calculation of the value added Adjusted EBIT – Fraport-Assets X WACC The goal is to generate value added of zero for the regulated Aviation segment, and generate clearly positive values added for the other segments. Fraport calculates the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) using the capital asset pricing model and uses this regulatory specific WACC to calculate its airport charges. Given the continuously changing economic environment, interest rate levels, and/or Fraport’s risk and financing structure, Fraport regularly reviews, and, if needed, adjusts its WACC. The WACC is also used for the value management of the Fraport Group. The WACC for the fiscal year declined compared to the previous year to 6.1% (before taxes, 2020: 6.4%). For details on the use and calculation of the cost of capital in the context of impairment tests, please refer to note 4 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Important reporting obligations that apply to this combined management report as a result of these requirements are shown in the following. Takeover-related disclosures The capital stock of Fraport AG is €924,687,040. It is divided into 92,468,704 no-par-value bearer shares. The company holds treasury shares (77,365 shares), which are offset from capital stock on the balance sheet. The issued capital stated in the commercial balance sheet as at December 31, 2021 and reduced by treasury shares is €923,913,390 (92,391,339 no-par-value bearer shares). There are no differing classes of shares. Additional information regarding treasury shares in accordance with Section 160 (1) no. 2 of the AktG can be found in the Group notes, note 31, and Fraport AG’s Notes, note 27. On the basis of the consortium agreement concluded between the State of Hesse and Stadtwerke Frankfurt am Main Holding GmbH dated April 18/23, 2001 with a supplement as at December 2, 2014, the total voting rights in Fraport AG held by both shareholders, calculated in accordance with Section 34 (2) of the German Securities Trading Act (WpHG), amounted to 52.02% as at December 31, 2021. They were attributed as follows: State of Hesse 31.31% and Stadtwerke Frankfurt am Main Holding GmbH 20.71%. The voting rights in Fraport AG owned by the City of Frankfurt/Main are held indirectly via the Stadtwerke Frankfurt am Main Holding GmbH subsidiary. According to the last official reports in accordance with the WpHG or disclosures by individual shareholders, other voting rights in Fraport AG were attributable as follows (as at December 31, 2021): Deutsche Lufthansa AG 8.44% and British Columbia Investment Management Corporation 3.05%. The relative ownership interests were adjusted to the current total number of shares as at the balance sheet date, and therefore may differ from the figures given at the time of reporting or from the respective shareholders’ own disclosures. The appointment and dismissal of Executive Board members is carried out in compliance with the relevant provisions of AktG (Sections 84 and 85). Pursuant to Section 179 (1) sentence 2 AktG in conjunction with Section 11 (3) of the company statutes, the Supervisory Board is entitled to amend the company statutes only with respect to the wording. Other amendments to the company statutes require a resolution of the AGM, which, according to Section 18 (1) of the company statutes, must be passed in general by a simple majority of the votes cast and, provided that a capital majority is required, by a simple majority of the capital stock represented at the time of the resolution. If, by way of exception, the law requires a higher capital majority (e.g., when changing the purpose of the company as stated in the company statutes, Section 179 (2) sentence 1 AktG; or when creating contingent capital, Section 193 (1) sentence 1 AktG), the resolution of the AGM has to be passed by a three-quarter majority of the represented capital stock. Fraport Annual Report 2021 Fraport Annual Report 2021 Combined Management Report / Situation of the Group Combined Management Report / Situation of the Group 57 59 At the AGM of May 23, 2017, 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 (see also Group notes, note 31, and Fraport AG’s Notes, note 27). The Executive Board is 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 22, 2022 by issuing new shares in return for cash. The statutory subscription rights of the shareholders may be excluded. In the 2021 fiscal year, Fraport AG acquired treasury shares for issue within the scope of the employee share program on the stock market (stock buyback as pursuant to Section 71 (1) no. 2 AktG). The option adopted at the AGM on May 23, 2017, to increase the share capital by issuing new shares in return for cash for use within the scope of the employee share program was therefore not utilized. At the Annual General Meeting on June 1, 2021, new authorized capital (“Authorized Capital II”) of €458.8 million was approved. The Executive Board is entitled, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, to increase the capital stock on one or more occasions by up to a total of €458.8 million until May 31, 2026 by issuing up to 45,884,352 new no-par value bearer shares in return for cash. When making use of the Authorized Capital II, shareholders have a subscription right. In addition, the 2021 Annual General Meeting also approved an increase in the share capital by up to €120.2 million (“Conditional Capital”). The Conditional Capital is used to grant shares to the holders or creditors of convertibles bonds and/or bonds with warrants issued by the company up to May 31, 2026. Report on the relationships with affiliated companies Due to the shares of 31.31% (previous year: 31.31%) held by the State of Hesse and 20.71% (previous year: 20.48%) held by Stadtwerke Frankfurt am Main Holding GmbH, as well as the consortium agreement concluded between these shareholders on April 18/23, 2001 with a supplement as at December 2, 2014, Fraport AG is a publicly controlled enterprise. There are no control or profit transfer agreements. The Executive Board of Fraport AG therefore compiles a report on the relationships with affiliated companies in accordance with Section 312 of the AktG. At the end of the report, the Executive Board made the following statement: “The Executive Board declares that under the circumstances known to us at the time, Fraport AG received fair and adequate compensation for each and every legal transaction conducted. 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.” Joint Statement on Corporate Governance The Fraport AG Executive Board reports – in the name of the Supervisory Board as well – on the contents subject to the reporting requirements pursuant to Section 289f of the German Commercial Code (HGB) for Fraport AG as well as for the Fraport Group as part of a joint statement on corporate governance pursuant to Sections 289f and 315d of the HGB in conjunction with Section 289f of the HGB, in order to enable a general statement on the Group's corporate governance principles. The Joint Statement on Corporate Governance the corporate website at is published https://www.fraport.com/en/investors/corporate-governance.html. “To Our Shareholders” chapter and on the in Information in accordance with the German Energy Economics Act (EnWG) Fraport AG operates its own energy supply network and in mid-2011 applied for the status of “closed distribution network”, which is associated with considerable benefits compared to general supply networks. In accordance with the requirements of Section 6b of the EnWG, Fraport AG is obliged to prepare separate business statements. The regulations were applied in accordance with the requirements of the Federal Network Agency in the 2021 annual financial statements. Fraport Annual Report 2021 58 60 Group Management Report / Economic Report Fraport Annual Report 2021 Economic Report General Statement of the Executive Board In the past fiscal year, most of the Group airports recorded an increase in passenger numbers. Compared to the previous year, Group revenue increased by €466.3 million to €2,143.3 million (+27.8%). Adjusted for revenue from construction and expansion services based on the application of IFRIC 12, revenue increased by €449.1 million to €1,901.6 million (+30.9%). The positive development is primarily attributable to the Group-wide traffic recovery in fiscal year 2021. Other operating income in the reporting period increased to €354.6 million, up €272.8 million on the previous year. This is mainly a result of the compensation of €159.8 million granted by both the German Federal Government and the State of Hesse for the holding costs incurred in the first lockdown in 2020. In addition, other operating income was positively impacted by the agreement reached by Fraport Greece to offset the effects of the coronavirus pandemic of €92.8 million and the compensation claims made by the two Brazilian Group companies in the amount of €26.5 million. The waiver of further short-term minimum lease payments at the Group company Fraport USA in the amount of €35.2 million also had a positive effect. Non-staff costs (cost of materials and other operating expenses) increased compared to the previous year by €59.4 million to €894.6 million (+7.1%). Adjusted for expenses related to the application of IFRIC 12, expenses increased by €42.2 million (+6.9%). Personnel expenses decreased significantly compared to personnel expenses before special items in the previous year (-€28.8 million or 3.2%), due to the headcount reduction. Group EBITDA came to €757.0 million (+€1,007.6 million). Slightly lower depreciation and amortization (–€14.2 million) and an improved financial result of –€197.3 million led to a positive Group result of €91.8 million (previous year: –€690.4 million). The free cash flow improved noticeably to –€772.3 million (previous year: –€1,400.0 million). This was mainly due to the positive Group result, which was influenced, among other things, by the non-recurring cash effects in connection with reimbursed holding costs and security services in previous years. Net financial debt increased by €836.2 million to €6,369.7 million in connection with the negative free cash flow and the correspondingly extensive financing measures. The gearing ratio reached a level of 169.7% (value as at December 31, 2020: 152.9%). Overall, the Executive Board continues to describe the operational and, in turn, financial development in the reporting period as positive yet difficult, given the ongoing effects of the coronavirus pandemic. Macroeconomic, legal, and industry-specific conditions Development of the macroeconomic conditions The global economy continued to recover in 2021, even though it was still affected by the coronavirus pandemic. While the economy recovered significantly in spring/summer due to the progress with vaccinations and declining infection numbers in many countries, at the end of the reporting year it was once again burdened by the increasing number of infections, first with the Delta variant of the coronavirus and most recently with the significantly more infectious Omicron virus variant. Global supply bottlenecks for important raw materials and intermediate goods also led to production restrictions in the industry. Measures to combat the pandemic had a negative impact on the service sector. In the course of the second half of the year, many countries in the world saw inflationary strains, mainly due to significantly higher energy prices and the aforementioned supply bottlenecks in many countries. Economic development in the euro area was strong in the second and third quarters, but slowed down again in the fourth quarter due to the pandemic. France and Italy, in particular, contributed to the economic recovery of the euro area. However, both coun- tries recorded comparatively sharp slumps in the previous year. In Germany, private consumption proved to be an economic driving force in the summer, while the continuing shortage of intermediate goods slowed down the industry. Overall, economic development in Germany was weaker than the European average. Fraport Annual Report 2021Combined Management Report / Economic Report Fraport Annual Report 2021 Group Management Report / Economic Report 59 61 In the United States, gross domestic product was again above the pre-crisis level thanks to an increase in consumption until just before the end of the year. In Japan, the development of gross domestic product suffered from the sharp increase in coronavirus infections due to the spread of the Delta variant in the summer months, which significantly weakened consumption. The emerging markets had already exceeded the pre-crisis level of gross domestic product in 2020, mainly due to China’s rapid and sustained recovery – even if local coronavirus outbreaks repeatedly led to noticeable restrictions there. Overall, economic development in emerging markets has been mixed. While the economy in Peru expanded strongly, the Brazilian economy suffered from the slump in agricultural production due to drought. In Russia, the restrictions in connection with the pandemic were low by international standards, so that the coronavirus pandemic played a subordinate role in the economic development despite the comparatively low vaccination rate. Global trade initially recovered significantly in the reporting year 2021 after the slump in the previous year. However, global supply bottlenecks dampened momentum over the course of the year.

Fraport Annual Report 2021Combined Management Report / Economic Report 60 62 Group Management Report / Economic Report Fraport Annual Report 2021 Development of industry-specific conditions According to the preliminary figures from Airports Council International (ACI), global passenger traffic increased by 30.1% in the period from January to November 2021 compared to the same period the previous year. Air freight volume rose by 16.6%. European airports also recorded a jump in passenger numbers of 31.2%. In terms of air freight, European airports posted an increase of 21.4%. The passenger numbers at German airports recovered slightly by 14.3% Cargo tonnage increased by 18.2%.

Business Development Development at the Frankfurt site The 2021 fiscal year was marked by the coronavirus pandemic right from the start. Compared to the previous year, in which the early months were not yet fully impacted by the pandemic, passenger numbers increased by 32.2% to 24.8 million passengers. Compared to the pre-crisis level of 2019, however, passenger numbers remained significantly lower at –64.8%. In domestic traffic (+8.9%), the primary connections with Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, and Düsseldorf stood out in particular. Due to the combining of intercontinental services in Frankfurt, feeder traffic from Munich and Hamburg performed above average year-on-year. While European traffic (+43.4%) initially started weaker at the beginning of the year, the return of holiday travelers led to a significant increase in traffic with classic holiday destinations in southern and southeastern Europe. The Canary Islands, Greece, and Cyprus were very close to the passenger volumes from 2019. Intercontinental traffic (+20.5%) remained far from normal until the North American market opened in the fourth quarter. The opening then ensured a rapid increase in demand in traffic with North America. By contrast, the Far East remained significantly below the previous year’s level due to strict travel restrictions and a noticeable reluctance to travel. Cargo volume grew by 18.7% to around 2.3 million metric tons. This was the best annual result in the history of Frankfurt Airport. The driver for this growth was air freight, which more than compensated for the decline in airmail traffic. Cargo traffic as a whole benefited from the recovery of the global economy. In particular, Far East traffic, especially Japan but also India and South Korea, contributed to the growth. Compared to the previous year, aircraft movements rose by 23.4% to 261,927 takeoffs and landings. Passenger flights increased by 25.9% and freight traffic by 9.9% compared to the previous year’s figures. And compared to the pre-crisis year of 2019, aircraft movements were at a level of 51.0%. At 64.1%, the passenger flight seat loads, which fell significantly in 2020 as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, were around 6 percentage points above the previous year’s figure. Nevertheless, it fell short of the pre-crisis figure of 2019 by 16 percentage points. The passengers per passenger movement figure developed in a similar manner compared to the previous year, rising by around 5% to 114.0. Maximum take-off weights also increased by 18.9% to 17.7 million metric tons, accounting for 55.5% of the total volume in 2019. Fraport Annual Report 2021Combined Management Report / Economic Report Fraport Annual Report 2021 Group Management Report / Economic Report 61 63 Development outside the Frankfurt site Also in 2021, the development of passenger traffic at Ljubljana Airport continued to be influenced by the effects of the coronavirus pandemic. At approximately 0.4 million, passenger numbers increased by 46.4% compared to the previous year. The persistently tense situation regarding infection levels slowed down the traffic recovery and led to a significantly reduced flight offer in the first half of the year. With the partial lifting of restrictions, increasing immunization rates and the start of the holiday season, traffic volumes rebounded in the second half of the year. The two Brazilian airports, Fortaleza and Porto Alegre, were again severely affected by the coronavirus pandemic in 2021. Particularly toward the end of the first and second quarters, a second wave of the pandemic in Brazil with high numbers of infections had a negative impact on passenger numbers. Domestic air traffic gradually recovered in the second half of the year and, in the absence of international tourist destinations, also benefited from increased interest in domestic holiday destinations such as Fortaleza and Porto Alegre. High seat load factors confirmed this growing demand. Overall, a total of 8.8 million passen- gers used the two airports. This corresponds to growth of +31.2% compared to 2020. International connections remained temporarily suspended in 2021 due to quarantine and entry restrictions as well as a lack of demand. In the second half of the year, the routes to Panama City from Porto Alegre and to Lisbon from Fortaleza were again regularly served, and the Fortaleza – Paris connection was also resumed in October. Fortaleza welcomed 3.9 million domestic (+29.3%) and around 0.1 million inter- national passengers (–49.7%) for the full year; Porto Alegre recorded 4.8 million domestic passengers (+38.9%) and around 0.05 million international passengers (–56.3%). Over the course of 2021, the volume of traffic at Lima Airport recovered significantly compared to the previous year. After the second wave of the pandemic in January and February, the rest of the year was marked by a gradual resumption of destinations depending on the lifting of the respective travel and entry restrictions. A total of 10.8 million passengers were counted at Lima Airport in 2021, an increase of +53.6% compared to 2020. Overall, domestic passenger operations were less affected by restrictions, which led to an above-average increase with around 7.7 million passengers (+66.1%). International traffic, on the other hand, recorded a below-average increase and contributed to growth with 3.1 million passengers (+29.7%). At around 17.4 million passengers, Fraport Greece recorded an increase of over 100% in the 2021 reporting period compared to the previous year. After the first half of the year was marked by travel restrictions and great restraint on the part of passengers, passenger numbers recovered massively in the summer months from July onwards. This trend continued until late fall. Overall, domestic traffic was 53.6% above the previous year’s level, while international traffic grew by more than 100%. The largest number of foreign passengers in the reporting year 2021 came from Germany (around 19%), followed by Great Britain (just under 11%), and Italy (around 6%). At Varna and Burgas airports in Bulgaria, the number of passengers in 2021 was approximately 2.0 million passengers, +87.8% above the previous year’s figure. After a weak start, marked by continued travel warnings and bans at the beginning of the year, passenger numbers increased by more than 100% at both airports. The reasons for this were increasing demand for travel to the Bulgarian Black Sea coast in the important summer months as well as relaxed international travel restrictions due to declining infection rates. For the year as a whole, this led to a strong increase in both domestic (+49.8%) and international passenger volumes (+93.2%). Most of the passengers came from Germany (around 23%), Poland (around 17%), and the Czech Republic (just under 10%). Passenger numbers at Antalya Airport in the 2021 fiscal year were around 21.9 million (previous year: 9.7 million). The main reason for this is the significantly higher demand for holiday travel to Turkey compared to the previous year, which was particularly evident in the main season. In addition, the existing restrictions on international air traffic had less of an impact on Antalya Airport in 2021 than in 2020. While Turkish domestic traffic showed a growth rate of +48.2%, the number of international passengers rose very strongly by over 100%. The largest passenger groups were travelers from Russia (around 40%), Germany (approximately 18%), and Ukraine (approximately 14%). St. Petersburg Airport recorded an increase of 64.8% to 18.0 million passengers in 2021. While international traffic continued to be affected by restrictions as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, domestic traffic recovered mainly due to strong demand for connections to Russia’s holiday regions, which exceeded the pre-crisis level in 2019. Domestic traffic increased by 63.4% year-on-year to 15.5 million passengers, while international traffic increased by 73.9% to 2.5 million passengers. Fraport Annual Report 2021Combined Management Report / Economic Report 62 64 Group Management Report / Economic Report Fraport Annual Report 2021 The number of passengers at Xi’an Airport was around 30.2 million in the past fiscal year and thus slightly below the previous year (–2.9%). Mainly dominated by domestic traffic, the airport’s traffic figures were particularly influenced by the constantly changing travel restrictions in response to the coronavirus pandemic. In the second and third quarters in particular, passenger numbers were clearly above the previous year’s level, but clearly lower in the fourth quarter due to stronger local restrictions. International traffic remained at a notably reduced level over the entire year of 2021 due to existing travel restrictions.

At the Group airports in Ljubljana and the two Bulgarian airports in Varna and Burgas as well as the Group airport Xi’an, there were deviations from the forecast 2020 as a result of the pandemic-related travel restrictions. Passenger numbers in St. Petersburg developed better than forecasted in 2020 due to stronger demand for Russian domestic air travel. Fraport Annual Report 2021Combined Management Report / Economic Report Fraport Annual Report 2021 Group Management Report / Economic Report 63 65 The Group’s Results of Operations Compared to the previous year, Group revenue increased by €466.3 million to €2,143.3 million. Adjusted for revenue from construction and expansion services based on the application of IFRIC 12, revenue increased by €449.1 million to €1,901.6 million (+30.9%). The positive development is due, in particular, to the Group-wide recovery in traffic in the 2021 fiscal year, which led to a clear increase in revenue from airport charges (+€73.1 million) and ground services (+43.3 million) at the Frankfurt site. In addition, the agreement reached with the German Federal Police concerning billed aviation security services in recent years had a positive effect of €57.8 million on revenue. Outside of Frankfurt, contributions to adjusted revenue growth came from Fraport Greece (+€120.0 million) and the Group company Lima (+€36.3 million). Other operating income in fiscal year 2021 increased to €354.6 million, up €272.8 million on the previous year. This is mainly a result of the compensation of €159.8 million granted by both the German Federal Government and the State of Hesse for the holding costs incurred in the first lockdown in 2020. In addition, other operating income was positively impacted by the agreement reached by Fraport Greece to offset the effects of the coronavirus pandemic of €92.8 million and the compensation claims made by the two Brazilian Group companies in the amount of €26.5 million. The waiver of further short-term minimum lease payments at the Group company Fraport USA in the amount of €35.2 million also had a positive effect. Non-staff costs (cost of materials and other operating expenses) increased compared to the previous year by €59.4 million to €894.6 million (+7.1%). Adjusted for expenses related to the application of IFRIC 12, expenses increased by €42.2 million (+6.9%). This increase resulted primarily from higher concession charges at the Group’s international airports compared to the previous year due to the positive traffic development. Personnel expenses decreased by €28.8 million to €884.3 million (–3.2%) compared to personnel expenses before special items in the previous year, due to the headcount reduction and other countermeasures in personnel management. Taking into account the expenses incurred in the previous year for the “Zukunft FRA – Relaunch 50” program at the Frankfurt site as well as expenses from personnel management measures at the other Group companies in the amount of €299.0 million, Group personnel expenses decreased by €327.8 million (–27.0%) in the reporting period. At €757.0 million, Group EBITDA was €1,007.6 million higher than in the previous year (previous year: –€250.6 million). The year-on-year increase in Group EBITDA before special items amounted to €708.6 million. The EBITDA margin was thus 35.3% (EBITDA margin before special items in the previous year: 2.9%). In terms of Group revenue adjusted for contract revenue in connection with IFRIC 12, the EBITDA margin amounted to 39.8% (EBITDA margin before special items in the previous year: 3.3%). Lower depreciation and amortization (–€14.2 million), in particular due to adjustments in the context of the useful life assess- ment, resulted in Group EBIT of €313.7 million (previous year: –€708.1 million). The financial result increased by €27.8 million to –€197.3 million (previous year: –€225.1 million). This was mainly due to the result from companies accounted for using the equity method which improved by €73.8 million, which was significantly influenced by the positive development at the Group company Antalya. In addition, interest income increased by €16.4 million as a result of the agreement with the German Federal Police in the amount of €17.5 million. The other financial result of €8.8 million (previous year: –€4.3 million) mainly included positive valuation effects from the Greece share option and other derivatives. This was offset by higher interest expenses (+€75.5 million) due to further extensive financing measures in fiscal year 2021. Group EBT amounted to €116.4 million in the reporting period (previous year: –€933.2 million). With income tax expenses of €24.6 million (previous year: income tax relief of €242.8 million), the Group result was €91.8 million (previous year: –€690.4 million) and resulted in basic earnings per share of €0.90 (previous year: –€7.12).

Fraport Annual Report 2021Combined Management Report / Economic Report Fraport Annual Report 2021 Group Management Report / Economic Report 65 67 Results of Operations for Segments Revenue in the Aviation segment increased by 33.3% to €587.5 million, clearly higher than the previous year’s figure of €440.9 million. This was due to increased revenue from security services (+€73.9 million), which was positively influenced by an agreement reached with the German Federal Police concerning billed aviation security services in recent years in the amount of €57.8 million, as well as higher revenue from airport charges, which rose clearly from €288.6 million to €361.7 million (+€73.1 million) due to the higher traffic volume compared to the previous year. Other income in the segment was €187.9 million and consisted mainly of the compensation payment of €159.8 million granted by the German Federal Govern- ment and the State of Hesse to cover the holding costs incurred during the first lockdown in 2020. Personnel expenses in the amount of €284.4 million decreased by €21.8 million compared to personnel expenses before special items from the previous year. Overall, operating expenses fell by 16.7% to €695.0 million. EBITDA increased massively by €344.5 million compared to EBITDA before special items in the previous year to €160.2 million.

The main drivers were higher parking revenue in the amount of €51.4 million (+18.2%) due to traffic volumes and higher real estate revenue amounting to €168.8 million (+3.6%). The key figure for net retail revenue per passenger fell to €3.30 in the reporting period (previous year: €4.73). Personnel expenses increased slightly compared to personnel expenses before special items in the same period in the previous year by 3.3% to €43.9 million. With higher non-staff expenses (+6.1%), EBITDA amounted to €250.8 million. Compared to EBITDA before special items in the previous year, this represented an increase of €20.1 million (+8.7%).

This was mainly due to increased revenue from ground services (+24.3%) and higher infrastructure charges (+18.4%) based on the increase in traffic volume. Compared to personnel expenses before special items in the previous year, personnel expenses remained roughly at the previous year’s level (+0.1%). Compared to the same period of the previous year, lower personnel expenses due to the headcount reduction as part of the strategic program “Zukunft FRA – Relaunch 50” were offset by fewer short-time work schedules in connection with the recovery in traffic. Non-staff costs (cost of materials and other operating expenses) increased slightly to €52.2 million (+8.8%). Segment EBITDA increased by €53.4 million year-on-year compared to EBITDA before special items but remained in negative territory at -€72.2 million.

Adjusted for the revenue relating to capacitive capital expenditure based on the application of IFRIC 12, revenue was €608.6 million (+53.0%). The adjusted increase in revenue was primarily attributable at all Group airports to the higher volume of traffic compared to the same period in the previous year. The holiday destinations in Greece, in particular, benefited from the recovery in traffic in the summer months, and Fraport Greece thus recorded revenue growth adjusted for IFRIC 12 of €120.0 million. There was a positive effect on other operating income of €174.7 million in the reporting period due to the waiver of the fixed concession payments of €92.8 million for the years 2019 to 2022 at Fraport Greece and the waiver of fixed minimum lease payments at Fraport USA in the amount of €35.2 million. In addition, the compensation claims made by the two Brazilian Group companies in the amount of €26.5 million as well as the compensation for the airport closure in 2020 and the reimbursement of fixed costs at the Group company Fraport Slovenija in the amount of €6.6 million had a positive effect on the segment’s other operating income. The cost of materials in the segment amounted to €548.8 million, 13.5% higher than in the previous year (+€65.2 million). Adjusted for expenses relating to the application of IFRIC 12, the cost of materials increased by 18.5% to €307.1 million (+€48.0 million). This was due to higher concession charges based on traffic volumes, particularly at the Group companies Lima (+€17.1 million), Fraport USA (+€9.6 million), and Fraport Greece (+€5.8 million). Compared to personnel expenses adjusted for special items in the previous year, personnel expenses decreased by €8.6 million to €242.7 million. EBITDA increased massively by €290.6 million to €418.2 million compared to EBITDA before special items in the same period the previous year. With depreciation and amortization virtually unchanged (-€0.1 million), segment EBIT was up €337.3 million year on year, at €231.8 million.

Revenue at the Group company Fraport USA increased by €28.8 million to €67.9 million in fiscal 2021 based on the recovery in traffic. Other income was positively impacted by the waiver of fixed minimum lease payments of €35.2 million. The cost of materials increased by €17.2 million to €32.5 million due to higher concession charges (+€9.6 million) in connection with the positive traffic development. As a result, operating expenses increased by €4.8 million to €46.4 million (+11.6%). EBITDA rose to €57.3 million (+€48.8 million). EBIT amounted to €20.7 million (previous year: -€35.1 million). Despite the continued impact of the coronavirus pandemic, passenger numbers at the Group company Fraport Slovenija developed positively, resulting in revenue of €21.7 million (+€4.9 million). The compensation for the airport closure in 2020 and reimbursement of fixed costs in the amount of €6.6 million had a positive effect on other operating income. With a slight increase in operating expenses to €21.1 million (+€1.0 million), EBITDA amounted to €7.7 million (previous year: -€2.1 million). EBIT improved to -€3.0 million (previous year: -€13.8 million). At €68.3 million, revenue at the Brazilian Group airports Fortaleza and Porto Alegre declined by €20.0 million. Adjusted for revenue from construction and expansion services relating to the application of IFRIC 12, however, revenue increased by €7.8 mil- lion.

Adjusted for expenses relating to the application of IFRIC 12, the cost of materials was roughly at the same level as the previous year at €17.4 million (+€0.7 million). Personnel expenses increased to €10.4 million (+€0.7 million). EBITDA was €40.1 million (previous year: €37.0 million); EBIT remained unchanged at €17.6 million. Revenue at the Group company Lima increased by €130.9 million in the reporting period to €345.2 million. Adjusted for revenue from construction and expansion services relating to the application of IFRIC 12, revenue totaled €154.9 million (+36.3%). The main reason for this was the recovery in traffic over the course of the year. The cost of materials increased to €272.6 million (+€113.2 million). Adjusted for expenses relating to capacitive capital expenditure based on the application of IFRIC 12, the cost of materials rose to €82.3 million (+€18.6 million), mainly due to higher concession charges (+€17.1 million) based on traffic volume. With a slight increase in personnel expenses (+€1.8 million), EBITDA amounted to €54.7 million (previous year: €38.5 mil- lion). EBIT reached a value of €39.8 million (previous year: €23.7 million). Fraport Greece benefited from the recovery in traffic, especially in the summer months, and generated revenue of €255.4 million (+€70.4 million) in fiscal 2021. Adjusted for revenue from construction and expansion services relating to the application of IFRIC 12, the revenue increased by €120.0 million to €225.5 million. There was a positive effect on other operating income of €92.8 million due to the waiver of the fixed concession payments for the years 2019 to 2022 at Fraport Greece. The cost of materials fell clearly in the reporting period from €133.5 million to €93.8 million following completion of expansion measures. Adjusted for expenses relating to the application of IFRIC 12, the cost of materials increased by €10.0 million to €64.0 million, mainly due to increases in concession charges due to traffic volume. EBITDA was €206.4 million (previous year: €12.9 million), and EBIT was €144.0 million (previous year: -€40.9 million). At the Group company Twin Star, revenue of €29.3 million (+€14.0 million) also reflects the positive traffic development. Slight increases in cost of materials and personnel expenses (+€0.7 million and €+0.2 million, respectively) were offset by lower other operating expenses (-€0.6 million). The led to EBITDA of €15.1 million (previous year: €1.4 million) and EBIT of €3.8 million (previous year: -€10.2 million). Group company Antalya, which is accounted for using the equity method, benefited from recovery in traffic, generating revenue of €266.6 million in fiscal 2021, up €157.0 million year on year.

Asset and Financial Position Asset and capital structure At €16,240.0 million, total assets as at December 31, 2021 were €2,158.8 million (+15.3%) above the previous year. Non-current assets increased by €1,253.3 million to €12,991.3 million. This is primarily attributable to the increase in other financial assets (+€582.0 million) due to the acquisition of securities and higher property, plant, and equipment (+€568.1 million), in particular in connection with the ongoing capital expenditure on the Expansion South project at Frankfurt Airport. In addition, investments in airport operating projects increased by €195.2 million primarily due to ongoing expansion projects at the Group company Lima. In contrast, shares in companies accounted for using the equity method decreased (-€94.2 million) mainly as a result of reclassification of the shares in the Group company Xi'an to non-current assets held for sale. At €3,129.0 million, current assets were up €785.8 million compared to December 31, 2020, mainly due to an increase in cash and cash equivalents (+€798.4 million) as a result of the extensive financing measures. Shareholders’ equity increased by €150.3 million to €3,909.0 million as at the 2021 balance sheet date (December 31, 2020: €3,758.7 million). The increase resulted, in particular, from the positive Group result of €91.8 million as well as the change in the currency reserve. Despite this improved result, the equity ratio fell from 25.7% as at December 31, 2020, to 23.1% due to increased debt. Non-current liabilities increased by €2,434.7 million to €10,895.4 million (+28.8%), in particular due to long-term borrowings to secure liquidity. On the other hand, current liabilities declined in the reporting period by €434.3 million to €1,427.5 million (- 23.3%). This development was particularly due to the decrease in other provisions following utilization of a large part of the provision in connection with the “Zukunft FRA – Relaunch 50” program. In addition, short-term financial liabilities decreased due to loan repayments as well as reduced commercial papers and call and time deposits. This decrease was offset by maturity- related reclassifications of previous non-current financial liabilities.

Fraport Annual Report 2021Combined Management Report / Economic Report Fraport Annual Report 2021 Group Management Report / Economic Report 71 73 The additions to non-current assets are attributed to the individual segments as follows: Additions per segm ent € m illion 293.6 International Activities & Services 89.6 Ground Handling 465. 465.1 264. Aviation 89.6 264.3 Retail & Real Estate 293. Capital expenditure in the Aviation segment amounting to €465.1 million (previous year: €504.1 million) primarily concerned the ongoing construction work in connection with the Frankfurt Airport Expansion South project. Most of this amount related to Terminal 3 and the passenger transport system. In fiscal 2021, the Retail & Real Estate segment recorded additions to assets in the amount of €264.3 million (previous year: €247.8 million). The measures also concerned, in particular, the Expansion South project. The Ground Handling segment recorded additions amounting to €89.6 million (previous year: €103.9 million). These mainly included the modernization measures for existing facilities as well as capital expenditure in connection with the Expansion South project. In the International Activities & Services segment, additions to non-current assets amounted to €293.6 million (last year: €303.8 million). The additions related mainly to the Group company Lima in connection with obligations to expand the infrastructure. Fair values Differences between the carrying amounts and fair values may arise for assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value in the Fraport consolidated financial statements. For an overview of the valuation methods used for significant balance sheet items, see note 4 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Investments in airport operating projects make up approximately 96% of the intangible assets in non-current assets. While their carrying amount results from amortized acquisition costs and primarily depends on the amount of the determined acquisition costs and term of the respective concession agreements as the basis of the regular depreciation and amortization, the fair value of the investments in airport operating projects is primarily driven by the development of traffic volume and passenger numbers at the concession airports and the resulting cash flows. Property, plant, and equipment of the Fraport Group is mainly made up of land/buildings (approximately 41%) and technical equipment and machinery (approximately 20%) belonging to Fraport AG. While the fair value of land is derived from standard land values (see also note 20 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements), the fair value of airport infrastructure (buildings, technical equipment, and machinery) is determined in reference to the corresponding replacement costs. Fraport Annual Report 2021Combined Management Report / Economic Report 72 74 Group Management Report / Economic Report Fraport Annual Report 2021 The fair value of investment property (see also note 21 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements) is based on the standard land value (land) or capitalized income value (buildings). The fair value of land designated as land for sale in the inventories (see also note 28 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements) is also based on standard land values. For information on the fair values of derivative and non-derivative financial instruments see note 41 in the Notes to the Consoli- dated Financial Statements. Statement of cash flows Due to the positive result in fiscal 2021, which was influenced, among other things, by the non-recurring cash effects in connection with compensation received for holding costs and the security services offset in previous years as well as the severance payments in connection with the program “Zukunft FRA - Relaunch 50,” the cash inflow from operating activities (operating cash flow) was €392.6 million (previous year: cash outflow of €236.2 million). At €1,133.2 million, the cash flow used in investing activities excluding investments in cash deposits and securities in the fiscal year under review was only slightly below the previous year’s level (previous year: cash outflow of €1,141.4 million). Increased cash outflows for expansion and extension measures at the Frankfurt site and capital expenditure on airport operating projects were offset by higher cash inflows from dividends from companies accounted for using the equity method. Taking into account investments in and revenue from securities and promissory note loans as well as capital expenditure on time deposits, the overall cash flow used in investing activities was €2,304.2 million (previous year: cash outflow of €2,528.2 million). Cash flow from financing activities decreased by €375.6 million to €2,095.4 million (previous year: €2,471.0 million). Increased cash inflow from long-term borrowings of €2,798.4 million (previous year: €2,692.3 million) was offset by higher repayments of non-current liabilities (+€241.2 million) and other changes in current financial liabilities (+€241.1 million). Taking into account exchange rate fluctuations and other changes, the Fraport Group reported cash and cash equivalents based on the statement of cash flows of €431.2 million as at December 31, 2021 (previous year: €216.4 million). Free cash flow amounted to -€772.3 million (previous year: -€1,400.0 million).

As at the balance sheet date, there was a balanced mix of financing, consisting of promissory note loans (23.0%), corporate bonds (21.2%), bilateral loans (41.4%), and project financing (14.4%). To reduce interest rate risks from borrowing with floating interest rates, in the past interest rate hedging transactions were con- cluded in some cases. The corresponding nominal volume amounted to €130.7 million at the end of the year and thus remained roughly at the previous year’s level (-2.8%). Overall, the financial liabilities had an average remaining term of 6.4 years with an average interest maturity of approximately 5.8 years after hedging measures. Taking into account interest rate hedging transac- tions, the floating rate portion of the gross debt of the Fraport Group was approximately 12%, and the fixed portion approximately 88%. The cost of debt after hedging measures was 2.1%. Fully consolidated Group companies in Germany are usually integrated into the Fraport AG cash pool, so that acquiring separate external funding was not necessary. Funding for fully consolidated foreign Group companies was primarily obtained through previously concluded project financing agreements in the 2021 fiscal year. No analysis or calculation of the financial debt structure and liquidity at segment level is carried out.

The contractual agreements for the financial liabilities of Fraport AG include two customary non-financial covenants consisting of a negative pledge and a pari passu clause. Only the special-purpose loans of Fraport AG contained in bilateral loans include, among other things, commonly accepted credit clauses regarding changes in shareholder structure and in the control of the company (so-called change-of-control clause). If these have a proven negative effect on the creditworthiness of Fraport AG, the creditors have the right to call the loans due ahead of time above a certain threshold. Independent project financing agreements of fully consolidated foreign Group companies, in particular in Greece and Brazil, contain a series of credit clauses typical for this type of financing. These clauses include regulations under which certain debt service coverage ratios and control indicators for leverage and credit terms 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 shareholders’ equity. The coronavirus pandemic and the resulting slump in traffic in part presented an obstacle to technically fulfilling the financial key figures for respective project financing. Agreements were reached with the financing banks effective December 31, 2021, which were in line with the arrangements laid down for this purpose in the respective financing contracts. The maturity profile of the Fraport Group’s financial debt showed a largely balanced repayment structure as at the balance sheet date (financial debt in foreign currencies translated as at the balance sheet date rate).

Rating structure of assets in % 0 20 40 60 AAA AA A BBB BB Not rated 80 0.0 9.5 69.5 21.0 0.0 0.0 As at the balance sheet date, there were only rated assets in the portfolio. The cost of carry, which is calculated using a (tiered statement) maturity-matching principle, was 1.5% (€44.4 million) as at December 31, 2021. As at the 2021 balance sheet date, the Fraport Group had credit lines amounting to €941.8 million (previous year: €895.9 million) available, of which €387.6 million has, however, been earmarked for future capital expenditure on infrastructure. As at the balance sheet date, Fraport AG had unused credit lines amounting to €554.2 million (previous year: €490.3 million). Significance of off-balance-sheet financial instruments for the financial position Fraport focuses on the products presented in the “Financing analysis” section for financing its activities. Off-balance-sheet financial instruments are of no material significance in the financing mix of Fraport. Rating In light of Fraport’s unrestricted access to the capital market at attractive prices, very healthy liquidity supply combined with its comfortable portfolio of free, approved credit lines, there has not been a need for an external rating so far.

In fiscal year 2021, the value added of the Fraport Group was €1,076.0 million higher than in the previous year, but remained in negative territory at -€279.6 million. The improved operating performance of the Group companies as a result of higher traffic volume as well as one-off effects from the compensation payment granted by the German Federal Government and the State of Hesse for the holding costs of €159.8 million incurred in the first lockdown in 2020 as well as the agreement with the German Federal Police in connection with aviation security services offset in recent years in the amount of €57.8 million were behind the adjusted EBIT of €343.1 million (previous year: -€763.6 million). Increased capital expenditure, especially on the expansion pro- jects in Frankfurt and Lima, increased the cost of capital. The ROFRA of the Fraport Group increased by 11.7 percentage points to 3.4% (previous year: -8.3%). The value added of the Aviation segment improved from -€643.5 million to -€211.0 million (+€432.5 million) based on the operating performance and the aforementioned one-off effects. On the other hand, the cost of capital for the ongoing construction activities in Frankfurt increased. Segment ROFRA improved accordingly from -12.1% in the previous year to 0.7%. In the Retail & Real Estate segment, despite higher Fraport assets in the course of the expansion project in Frankfurt, the increase in segment EBIT led to a massive increase in the value added from -€28.6 million to €26.4 million (+€55.0 million) and of ROFRA to 7.2% (previous year: 5.1%). The value added of the Ground Handling segment increased by €196.9 million to -€154.0 million, primarily based on traffic volumes. The segment’s ROFRA improved accordingly, coming in at -13.9% in the 2021 fiscal year (previous year: -43.1%). The value added of the International Activities & Services segment increased from -€332.5 million to €58.9 million (+€391.4 million). The fully consolidated Group companies in Greece and the USA as well as the Group company Antalya, which is accounted for using the equity method, contributed in particular to the improved operating result. The increase in Fraport assets in the segment is mainly attributable to the expansion at Lima Airport. In line with the value added, segment ROFRA improved from -5.3% to 8.0%. Comparison with the forecasted development 2021 Forecast 2020 2020 Change Change in % Group ROFRA (%) 3.4 Clear improve –8.3 +11.7 PP – Group ROFRA was positive again in the 2021 fiscal year at 3.4%. Based on the Group-wide traffic recovery, the improvement in ROFRA was stronger than forecast in 2020. Fraport Annual Report 2021Combined Management Report / Economic Report 78 80 Group Management Report / Economic Report Fraport Annual Report 2021 Employees Development of employees Average number of employees Fraport Group thereof Fraport AG thereof Group companies thereof in Germany thereof abroad 2021 18,419 7,893 10,526 15,599 2,820 2020 21,164 9,344 11,820 18,364 2,801 Change Change in % –2,745 –1,451 –1,294 –2,765 +19 –13.0 –15.5 –10.9 –15.1 +0.7 The average number of employees in the Fraport Group (excluding apprentices and employees on leave) decreased by 2,745 to 18,419 in the 2021 fiscal year (previous year: 21,164). This was due to employees leaving from Fraport AG (-1,451 employees) and FraSec (-423 employees), especially in connection with the volunteer programs at the Frankfurt site. Due to the expiration of temporary contracts, the Group companies FraGround and FraCareS, in particular, had fewer employees (-721 employees and - 94, respectively). Outside Germany, the total headcount increased slightly to 2,820 (+0.7%), but developed differently in the various Group compa- nies. While the headcount increased in particular in the Group companies in Bulgaria (+68 employees), Lima (+19 employees) and Greece (+13 employees), the number of employees decreased in the Group companies in Slovenia (-71 employees) and Brazil (-13 employees).

The disparate changes in the Group companies outside Germany also had an impact on the development of employee numbers in the International Activities & Services segment.

In Germany, the decline is due in particular to Fraport AG (-1,649 employees). Internationally, the slight increase in the number of employees resulted in particular from the Group companies in Lima (+58 employees). Development in personnel structure Fraport values the diversity of its employees. This diversity helps the Group to better understand the concerns of its customers, develop innovative solutions, and remain competitive in a globalized economy. Diversity management is therefore a central component of its human resources strategy. It is based on a Group agreement that includes the establishment of principles of anti-discrimination, advancement of women into management positions, and diversity. These principles form part of recruitment decisions and training measures. Fraport Annual Report 2021Combined Management Report / Economic Report Fraport Annual Report 2021 Group Management Report / Economic Report 79 81 At 27.8%, the Group turnover rate - based on permanent employees excluding seasonal staff at the balance sheet date - was clearly higher in the year under review than in the previous year (13.7%). The change is mainly due to the decline in traffic caused by the coronavirus pandemic and the corresponding headcount reduction. The Group’s percentage of women, in relation to the total number of employees (including temporary staff, apprentices, and employees on leave) as at December 31, 2021, remained at the previous year’s level of 26.3%. The average age of the Group’s workforce rose only slightly to 45.5 years (previous year: 45.3 years). The ratio of foreign workers in Germany (this excludes German nationals with an immigrant background) was 24.1% (previous year: 23.7%). The percentage of persons with major disabilities relative to the total number of employees excluding apprentices and temporary staff dropped to 5.9% on a Group-wide basis (previous year: 6.6%). In fiscal year 2021, the proportion of female employees at Fraport AG remained unchanged at 19.2% as at the balance sheet date (previous year: 19.2%). The proportion of workers with severe disability or equivalent circumstance was 7.9% (previous year: 9.0%). The ratio of foreign workers (this excludes German nationals with an immigrant background) was 13.9% (previous year: 14.8%). The average number of apprentices decreased to 286 (previous year: 318). The staff turnover rate at Fraport AG reached 16.7% (previous year: 3.4%). Non-financial Performance Indicators Customer satisfaction and product quality Global satisfaction of passengers In the 2021 reporting year, the customer satisfaction survey was changed to a digital self-administered survey. In order to take into account valuation differences due to the new format of the survey, customer satisfaction for 2021 is reported separately for the first and second half of the year. In the first half of 2021, global passenger satisfaction at the Frankfurt site rose to 91%, an increase of 4 percentage points compared to the previous year’s figure of 87%. In the first quarter, the figure was 92% (Q1 2020: 86%) and 89% in the second quarter of 2021 (Q2 2020: 90%). Health and infection protection at Frankfurt Airport, the hospitality of the airport staff as well as the surveyed waiting time and cleanliness criteria contributed to the result. Global passenger satisfaction was 83% in the second half of 2021. The decrease compared to the first half of 2021 is due to, among other things, the conversion of the format on July 1, 2021 to a digital self-administered survey. The increased number of passengers at the beginning of the summer holidays, with a few peaks in traffic, combined with operational and staff shortages, led to overall longer waiting times and flight delays, especially in July and August. As a result, numerous top box values fell more sharply than expected based on the results of the previous method test, especially in the third quarter of 2021. Global passenger satisfaction was 85% in the third quarter and 81% in the fourth quarter of 2021. While satisfaction with the hospitality of the airport staff and the friendliness of the mobile terminal staff continued to score highly in the second half of the year (91% and 92%, respectively), satisfaction with the security checks and cleanliness was below the respective targets. Despite the impairments associated with operational bottlenecks and the change to a new format, global passenger satisfaction at Frankfurt Airport exceeded the target value of at least 80% in both the first and second half of 2021. Baggage connectivity Baggage connectivity at Frankfurt Airport came to 98.3% in the last fiscal year, or 0.4 percentage points below the previous year and 0.2 percentage points below the target. While baggage connectivity decreased year on year to 98.3% in Q1 2021, it rose to 98.5% in Q2 2021. This is mainly attributable to modifications to the baggage transfer system and its security technology in the previous year, which adversely impacted connectivity. Traffic skyrocketed beginning in June 2021, and baggage connectivity fell below the previous year’s level to 98.4% in the third quarter of 2021 due to traffic volume. In the fourth quarter of 2021, the figure was 98.1%, 0.4 percentage points below the target. Here, too, the cause lay in the short-term traffic peaks in the fall holidays and the sharp increase in traffic when the North American market re-opened in November 2021. For these reasons, the fiscal 2021 target of 98.5% was missed. Fraport Annual Report 2021Combined Management Report / Economic Report 80 82 Group Management Report / Economic Report Fraport Annual Report 2021 Attractive and responsible employer Employee satisfaction Fraport AG employee satisfaction with the handling of the coronavirus pandemic by Fraport remained roughly constant in the reporting period at around 82.5%. This satisfaction value was 83% in the first pulse check of the year and 82% in the second. Once again, it was confirmed that confidence in Fraport’s ability to cope with the crisis from an economic standpoint is very high. This opinion was voiced by 93 percent of the employees in each of the two previous pulse checks. An average of around 1,000 employees from all areas of the company took part in the pulse checks, which are activated for a few days on internal online media. Due to the effects of the coronavirus pandemic, it was decided to forego a Group-wide employee survey in 2020 and 2021. Therefore, there is no data on which to base a statement regarding target achievement. In 2022, a new instrument for measuring employee satisfaction will be designed and thus a new target with a corresponding term will be set (see “Business Outlook”). Women in management positions In the 2021 fiscal year, the proportion of women in management positions in Germany at the first and second level directly below Fraport’s Executive Board increased to 27.1% (previous year: 25.6%). At Fraport AG, the proportion increased slightly to 26.4% (previous year: 25.9%). In connection with the volunteer program initiated in 2020 and subsequent reorganization measures, five female executives left the company. One vacant position was filled by a woman, while four positions were not filled. In addition, 13 management positions were eliminated, four of which had been held by women. At the Group companies, two out of three vacant managing director positions were filled by women. Due to the reorganization completed on June 30, 2021 and the low number of open positions to be filled, the target of 30% set for the 2021 fiscal year was not achieved. Occupational health and safety Sickness rate In the 2021 fiscal year, the Group sickness rate in Germany increased by 0.3 percentage points to 6.7% (previous year: 6.4%). The development is attributable to the recovery in traffic at Frankfurt Airport and the associated increase in the number of operational personnel. The sickness rate of Fraport AG fell by 0.2 percentage points to 5.9% (previous year: 6.1%). This was due to the reduced number of employees and, presumably, more employees working from home. Climate protection CO2 emissions In the past fiscal year, Group-wide CO2 emissions amounted to approximately 163,520 metric tons of CO2, and were thus down 3.6% year on year. The emission reduction is mainly attributable to Fraport AG, which reduced its CO2 emissions by 11.8% year on year, to 114,015 metric tons of CO2 (previous year: 129,263 t CO2). This decrease partially stems from the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, but also from the results of ongoing energy savings programs to boost energy efficiency.

Fraport Annual Report 2021Combined Management Report / Economic Report Fraport Annual Report 2021 Group Management Report / Economic Report 81 83 Combined non-financial Statement About this combined statement The combined non-financial statement complies with the requirements of Sections 315b and 315c in conjunction with the Sections 289b to 289e of the German Commercial Code (HGB) and the requirements of Regulation (EU) 2020/852 of the European Parliament and of the European Council of June 18, 2020 on the establishment of a framework for facilitating sustainable invest- ment and amending the Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 (EU Taxonomy Regulation). This combined non-financial statement has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers GmbH Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft according to ISAE 3000 (revised) with limited assur- ance. The unqualified auditor’s opinion can be found at the end of the Annual Report. The “Control” and “Non-financial Performance Indicators” chapters describe the most important non-financial performance indicators and their development. Their concepts and measures are used as the basis for this combined non-financial statement. The target values set for the Fraport Group and Fraport AG can also be found in these two chapters. The forecast figures for the 2022 fiscal year are specified in the “Business Outlook” chapter. The Fraport business model, competitive position, and the Group structure can be found in the “Situation of the Group” chapter. Fraport takes risks related to the non-financial aspects into account in the Group-wide risk management system (see “Risk and Opportunities Report” chapter). A significant proportion of the events described in this statement was affected by the coronavirus pandemic in the 2021 fiscal year. The statement addresses the impact on the Fraport Group and its concrete measures for operational protection against infection in the affected aspects (see also the “Impact of the Coronavirus Pandemic on the Fraport Group” chapter). Use of frameworks For a structured presentation of the contents in accordance with Section 289c of the HGB in the combined non-financial statement, Fraport applies the standards of the Global Reporting Initiative 2016 (GRI). The concepts for the aspects are based on the structure of the GRI management approaches. This refers to the materiality matrix (GRI 101 - Management Approach) and the explanations relating to “Anti-corruption and bribery matters”, “Respect for human rights”, “Customer satisfaction and security”, “Employee-related matters”, “Social matters” and “Environmental matters” (GRI 103 - Management Approach). In addition, the ESG Factbook, available at www.fraport.com/publications from March 2022, provides a detailed overview of the relevant GRI indicators in the Fraport Group. References to information beyond the scope of the Combined Management Report and Consolidated financial Statements are additional information and do not form part of this Combined non-financial Statement. Correlations with the financial statements The reportable correlations with the Combined Management Report, the Consolidated financial Statements, and the Fraport AG annual financial statements are explained at the end of each respective non-financial aspect. Derivation of materiality The Fraport mission statement continues to form the basis of the Group’s strategy. It encompasses the Group goals “Growth in Frankfurt and internationally”, “Service-oriented airport provider”, “Economically successful through optimal cooperation”, “Learning organization and digitalization”, and “Fairness and recognition for partners and neighbors”. The vision of establishing Fraport as Europe’s top airport operator and at the same time to set global standards forms the basis of the mission statement. Based on these Group goals, the Executive Board has defined six key non-financial performance indicators in accordance with Section 315 (3) of the HGB in conjunction with Section 289 (3) of the HGB. Global passenger satisfaction and baggage connec- tivity, employee satisfaction, women in management positions, sickness rate, and CO2 emissions. Due to the continuing impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the Fraport Group, the non-financial performance indicators of global passenger satisfaction in the Group and employee satisfaction in the Group were not used for the Group management control (see “Control” and “Non- financial performance indicators” chapters). The basis for the aspects reported in this Combined non-financial Statement is the materiality matrix. Material aspects are those that, according to Section 289c (3) of the HGB, are relevant to the business development, business result, as well as the effects of the business activities of Fraport on non-financial aspects. The materiality matrix is the result of a systematic exchange with internal and external stakeholders. Fraport management and representatives of the most important stakeholders (analysts, share- holders, employee representatives, banks, employees, airlines, local residents living near airports, business partners, investors, Fraport Annual Report 2021Combined Management Report / Economic Report 82 84 Group Management Report / Economic Report Fraport Annual Report 2021 media, NGOs, passengers, politicians and authorities, economic associations, and science) confirm the relevance of the given topics. Both groups also prioritize the topics. The materiality matrix shows the impact of direct and indirect business activities on the corresponding aspect, its relevance for stakeholders and for the long-term business activities of Fraport. In a structured process, the Executive Board decided to make adjustments to the materiality matrix for 2021 based on overall developments in society. The updated materiality matrix is shown below. The topics of “Climate protection” as well as “Protection of environment and nature” have been given greater relevance for the long-term business activities and the stakeholders. This is derived both from the public debate and the focus of the coalition agreement by the new German government. As a result of the coronavirus pandemic, business activities have a greater impact on the topic of “Occupational health and safety” and also hold increased relevance for stakeholders. The topic of “Customer satisfaction and product quality” has also become more relevant for stakeholders, as travel restrictions and special requirements for civil aviation caused by the coronavirus pandemic affect travel for customers to a greater extent. In addition, business activities have a higher impact on the topics “Profitability” and “Attractive and responsible employer”. This is due to a higher level of debt to ensure the long-term liquidity as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, as well as the challenge that, despite extensive personnel management measures within the scope of the strategic “Zukunft FRA – Relaunch 50” program, a sufficient number of qualified and motivated personnel must be ensured. A comprehensive materiality analysis with the participation of internal and external stakeholders will be carried out as soon as the framework conditions allow for this again.

The distribution of the topics among the non-financial aspects can be found in the table below. The crossover aspect “Supply and subcontracting chain” is not an individual aspect but deals with all reportable information in connection with the non-financial aspects in a separate chapter. Allocation of material topics to non-financial aspects Non-financial aspect Topics Corporate Governance and Compliance Respect for human rights Anti-corruption and bribery matters Environmental matters Climate protection Protection of environment and nature Air quality Customer satisfaction and security Customer satisfaction and product quality IT security and airport safety and security Data protection Employee-related matters Attractive and responsible employer Occupational health and safety Social matters Community Noise abatement Engagement in the regions On May 26, 2020, the Annual General Meeting approved the Supervisory Board's proposal to adapt the remuneration system for the Executive Board in connection with the transposition of the Second Shareholders' Rights Directive into the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG). As a result, the remuneration system includes non-financial elements in addition to the financial objectives for the long-term variable remuneration. For the 2021 fiscal year, the reduction of the CO2 footprint at the Frankfurt site in the form of a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) for energy purchases from wind turbines and the completion of Pier G by the end of January 2022 were defined as non-financial components (see also compensation report under www.fraport.com/publications). Identification of risks Fraport defines risks as future developments or events that may negatively affect non-financial aspects. The risk evaluation is conservative, i.e., the most unfavorable impact for Fraport is assessed. A distinction is made between a gross risk and net risk. The gross risk is the greatest possible negative impact of the risk prior to countermeasures. The net risk includes the remaining expected impact after countermeasures have been initiated or implemented. The risk assessment in this non-financial statement reflects the net risk. The risk management system described in the “Risk and Opportunities Report” chapter in the Combined Management Report contains the analysis of the risks that may have potential negative effects on the non-financial aspects. For fiscal year 2021, there were no additional reportable risks for the Fraport Group and Fraport AG of their activities on the non-financial aspects, beyond the material risks already listed in the Risk and Opportunities Report. Consideration of the supply and subcontracting chain specific to the business model The crossover “Supply and subcontracting chain” topic is not an individual aspect but deals with all reportable information in connection with the non-financial aspects in this separate chapter. Unlike manufacturing companies, Fraport management does not focus on the supply chain. Instead, the focus is placed on the quality of the services offered and the functionality of the infrastructure required for this purpose. It is crucial, however, that business partners and suppliers are selected carefully. Fraport compels business partners and suppliers to comply with its Supplier Code of Conduct as part of its General Terms and Conditions (GTC), depending on the local conditions. The code details the correct treatment of employees, respecting human rights as well as environmental and climate protection, integrity in the course of business, and the prohibition of corruption and bribery. A violation of this code may result in the termination of the business relationship. A contractual penalty may be imposed and a claim for lump-sum damages may be raised in the event of antitrust violations and serious misconduct. Business partners and suppliers must also undertake to require and ensure these principles are adhered to when dealing with their own suppliers. Fraport AG undertakes to generally focus on sustainability criteria when purchasing products and services and has signed a target agreement initiated by the Hessian Ministry for the Environment, Climate Protection, Agriculture and Consumer Protection. The “Environmental Management” department of Fraport AG receives an annual evaluation of which framework contracts will be tendered in the following year. Within the scope of a declaration of understanding between the “Central Purchasing, Construction Fraport Annual Report 2021Combined Management Report / Economic Report 84 86 Group Management Report / Economic Report Fraport Annual Report 2021 Contracts” and “Corporate Development, Environment and Sustainability” central units, the “Environmental Management” depart- ment informs the relevant stakeholders about possible ecological procurement criteria and certificates (e.g., the OEKO-TEX 100 standard for pollutant-free textiles). Fraport has a heterogeneous demand structure. It ranges from architectural services to the maintenance and expansion of airport infrastructure, from office materials to IT services and aircraft tugs. At Fraport AG (including the Airport Expansion South project), more than 41% of total order volume went to companies in the Rhine-Main region. Around 99% of Fraport AG’s order volume, amounting to approximately €792 million, was awarded to suppliers and service providers based in Germany, approximately 0.5% to those based in the EU, and about 0.4% to those based in the United States, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, and Canada. As there are comparable legal standards in these countries, in particular regarding anti-corruption and bribery matters and respect for human rights, the first level of the supply chain is not deemed critical. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the volume of orders with third parties fell clearly from 2019 to 2020. Key figures stabilized at this low level in 2021. The five largest suppliers for Fraport AG (including the Airport Expansion South project) are Calvias Gebäudetechnik GmbH, Caverion Deutschland GmbH, Prinzing Elektrotechnik GmbH, Lindner SE, and Sauter-Cumulus GmbH. Fraport Ausbau Süd GmbH carried out extensive business partner screenings for these companies before awarding the contracts. If Fraport AG tenders and awards contracts for product groups that include suppliers or service providers from risk countries as pertains to labor and social standards, the contractors are reviewed depending on the order value. This also applies to orders for work clothes, for example. Fraport regularly checks in which countries production sites are located. Irrespective of this, all suppliers and service providers of Fraport AG are audited on a daily basis regarding the relevant sanction lists of the EU and the United States. Sanction lists are official lists of people, groups, or organizations subject to economic or legal restrictions. If there are irregularities, further checks are planned which may result in the withdrawal of an order. An examination of the first level of the supply chain by contractors’ country of origin is an essential part of regular reporting for the “Central Purchasing, Construction Contracts” central unit. Fraport AG has fulfilled the legally compliant assignment of external personnel based on independent service and work contracts, as opposed to temporary work. An external staff compliance has been implemented as part of a policy to hire external staff. The policy includes a mandatory audit process and reduces the risk of false service or work contracts, or covert contracts for temporary work. External staff assignments provided by Group companies to Fraport AG are also subject to this audit process. The Group companies independently ensure the legally compliant assignment and deployment of external personnel by implementing suita- ble processes. The fully consolidated Group companies each have their own procurement management and are required to comply with the Group Compliance Management System (CMS). An important part of the Group policy is the Code of Conduct for Employees, which is obligatory in the Fraport Group. The policy also includes instructions to make the Supplier Code of Conduct part of the General Terms and Conditions insofar as this is possible for the Group companies pursuant to national applicable law. This is particularly relevant for major construction projects such as the new terminal at Lima Airport. For these projects, compliance with the Fraport Supplier Code of Conduct is agreed. If such inclusion in the General Terms and Conditions is not possible, or is only possible if the Supplier Code of Conduct is modified, local management informs the department dealing with compliance at Fraport AG. For the majority of Group airports, procurement was allocated within their own country. The Group company Fraport Ausbau Süd defined a separate procurement process for the Expansion South project, in particular for Terminal 3 at Frankfurt Airport, due to the size and complexity of the project. When submitting an offer in this procurement process, construction companies are obliged to comply with all requirements in the German Posted Workers Act (AEntG) and the German Minimum Wage Act (MiLoG). In addition, they must make contributions to the collective bargaining parties’ joint facilities (e.g., wage compensation and vacation pay), and also only engage subcontractors or other third parties that meet these require- ments. The Fraport Supplier Code of Conduct also forms part of any agreement. A due diligence review process was defined for the construction of Terminal 3, which has since been carried out depending on the order value. In addition to mandatory checking of sanction lists and company information, this includes extensive research online on potential business partners before new business relationships are initiated. Fraport Annual Report 2021Combined Management Report / Economic Report Fraport Annual Report 2021 Group Management Report / Economic Report 85 87 Anti-corruption and bribery matters and respect for human rights Anti-corruption and bribery matters Objective – Fraport pursues the goal of managing responsibly and transparently. Fraport does not tolerate any form of corruption or other unfair business practices. In addition, the Fraport Group is committed to internationally recognized standards, guidelines, and principles, in particular the principles of the UN Global Compact, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the United Nations (UN) conventions, and the Core Labour Standards of the International Labour Organization, and the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises. Concepts, measures, and results – Within the scope of its management responsibilities, the Executive Board determines the values and codes of conduct of the Fraport Group and draws up the framework conditions for legally compliant and ethical behavior of its executives and employees. The anti-corruption and bribery matters are therefore an essential part of the Fraport Code of Conduct for Employees, which applies worldwide. The Executive Board is expressly committed to the fundamental values set out in the Code of Conduct for Employees and takes a clear stand against corruption with a “zero tolerance principle”. The individual measures to combat corruption and bribery are based on the Group-wide Compliance Management System (CMS), according to which the Group companies develop their own specific CMS based on certain minimum requirements. The responsibility for the CMS of each respective Group company lies with its local management. The CMS of Fraport AG sets the relevant standards for the Group companies. The Group-wide minimum requirements for local CMS were fundamentally revised and extended in 2021: the minimum require- ments now require comprehensive regulations for the handling of gifts and invitations, conflicts of interest, and the compliance audit of business partners. In addition, uniform specifications for the processing of notices of compliance violations (internal investigations) were provided. The revision serves to increase the level of protection within the Group and makes an important contribution to the standardization of compliance processes. The fully consolidated Group companies largely implemented the amended Group policy in the 2021 fiscal year. Fraport Greece also developed an electronic platform to provide all employees with access to current policies and process instructions, while Fraport USA created the role of Compliance Director. The Group company Lima organized a training course on sustainability and corruption prevention together with suppliers. In the role of Chief Compliance Officer, the head of the “Legal Affairs and Compliance” central unit is responsible for the content, organization, upkeep, and further development of the CMS of Fraport AG. This officer answers directly to the Executive Director of Retail and Real Estate. The CMS of Fraport AG is based on and starts with a compliance risk analysis, which is carried out regularly and whose main areas of focus include among other things the fight against corruption. With its Compliance Helpdesk, the Compliance department of Fraport AG supports and advises employees of all positions and hierarchy levels. The Compliance department informs the Executive Board in a semi-annual report on the status of the anti-corruption measures. The Executive Board receives information on material compliance violations immediately after they become known. The Compliance Board of Fraport AG supports and promotes the cooperation of the Compliance Management (CMS), Risk Management (RMS), and Internal Control System (ICS) subsystems. It is the central body that brings together topics specific to the departments as well as generally applicable issues with a view to further developing the CMS consistently. Guidelines on receiving invitations and gifts have been defined for the employees of Fraport AG in a separate policy. This regulates, among other things, the electronic documentation of the approval of received gifts and invitations. An internal policy on how to deal with conflicts of interest also exists. The employees of Fraport AG are obliged to report any events in which they find themselves in situations where personal interests do not coincide with Fraport’s business interests. This allows reportable facts to be disclosed electronically, and countermeasures can be initiated. The policy supports employees in complying with existing laws and internal regulations. Fraport Annual Report 2021Combined Management Report / Economic Report 86 88 Group Management Report / Economic Report Fraport Annual Report 2021 Adherence to the compliance principles of Fraport is examined as part of the internal auditing. This department provides independent and objective audit and consulting services in all major business units of Fraport AG, its subsidiaries and joint ventures, and affiliated companies and carries out compliance audits. A standardized and risk-oriented planning process is the foundation for the focus points of the audit. Measures to combat corruption and bribery, along with information and instructions on how individual employees can contribute to this, are regularly communicated to the employees of the Fraport Group. Employees must complete training on anti-corruption matters. Fraport has set up a whistleblowing system that is available to all Group companies. The whistleblowing system is an essential tool for preventing and detecting potential compliance violations and thus combating corruption and bribery. In addition, Fraport AG has an ombudswoman, an external, independent lawyer, at its disposal. Employees at the Frankfurt site can also contact an internal representative. A risk-based compliance due diligence conducted by the “Global Investments and Management” strategic business unit is in place to examine the integrity of Fraport AG business partners’ activities in foreign-related investment projects – material compli- ance risks of potential business partners are taken into account as part of standard processes. As part of their CMS, the Group companies implement their own measures to combat corruption and bribery. Particularly with regards to financing projects, additional measures against corruption and bribery are implemented, in part also as stipulated by external lenders. Within the context of the tender offer for the expansion of the airport, the Group company Lima has obliged all bidders to sign an anti-corruption agreement. The Group companies partially have their own guidelines regarding bribery and corruption. Fraport USA, for example, has established guidelines that set out rules on compliance, legally compliant business practices, and safeguarding corporate interests. The Group companies Fortaleza and Porto Alegre have their own anti-corruption guidelines. Within the Group company Fraport Slovenija compliance issues and information received on violations of the Code of Conduct for Employees are handled by the Ethical and Compliance Committee. In 2021, the Fraport Code of Conduct was extensively revised. The changes aim to improve understanding and facilitate contact with the workforce as well as other stakeholders in order to better anchor compliance principles in Fraport’s working environment. The anti-corruption and bribery matters therefore remain an essential part of the Fraport Code of Conduct for Employees. Performance indicator – No performance indicator, target value, or term has been defined within the scope of the Sustainability Program. Respect for human rights Objective – Fraport is focused on complying with the internationally recognized codes of conduct it has committed to, in particular the principles of the UN Global Compact, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, and the Core Labour Standards of the International Labour Organization. Concepts, measures, and results – The “Legal Affairs and Compliance” central unit of Fraport AG deals with, among other things, Group-wide adherence to human rights. Employees can use the whistleblower system, which is implemented across the globe and readily available on the Internet, to report violations. In addition, employees in Germany can also contact an external ombudsperson contracted by Fraport AG or their internal representative, as needed. This ensures that violations are identified, reported, and documented and that the Executive Board gains direct knowledge of any cases of human rights violations or any other relevant information in that regard. Respect for human rights is enshrined in the Group-wide binding Fraport Code of Conduct for Employees: Fraport undertakes to respect the fundamental right to freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining that governs the general working conditions within the Group. Fraport rejects any form of forced or child labor and advocates for the rights of children and adoles- cents. Fraport Annual Report 2021Combined Management Report / Economic Report Fraport Annual Report 2021 Group Management Report / Economic Report 87 89 As an international company, Fraport encourages diversity in its workforce and pursues the objective of rejecting any form of discrimination. Fraport undertakes not to distinguish, exclude, or favor people on the basis of their ethnic, national and social origin, race, color, gender, age, religion, or belief. Fraport also prohibits any discrimination based on political activity, membership in a union organization, disability, or sexual orientation. The principle of mutual appreciation and respect is an essential part of the Fraport value culture: Fraport stands for fair, respectful, and cooperative relationships. Fraport has the same expectations regarding respect for human rights towards its business partners; these requirements are set out in the Supplier Code of Conduct. In this code, Fraport business partners are obliged to work towards ensuring that all other companies, like subcontractors, involved in the provision of services, consistently comply with these standards. The Group companies implement their own specific measures to ensure respect for human rights. Regulations on working hours and complaints mechanisms, for example, are implemented as part of large financing projects, some of which are also demanded by external lenders. The planning and construction contract for the construction project at the 14 Greek regional airports, for example, obliges the general contractor to fully protect human rights. Violations of these provisions constitute a breach of contract and may result in termination of the contract. Performance indicators – No performance indicator, target value, or term has been defined within the scope of the Sustainability Program. Customer satisfaction and security Customer satisfaction and product quality Objective – The customer comes first at Fraport, both in Frankfurt as well as at all international Group airports. The objective is therefore to continuously improve the focus on customers and service at Group airports. Global passenger satisfaction and baggage connectivity are considered the most important criteria for measuring service quality (see the “Control” and “Non-financial Performance Indicators” chapters). Protecting the health of employees, passengers, and customers is a top priority. In 2021, in particular the risk of infection at Group airports had to be reduced given the extent of the coronavirus pandemic. Concepts, measures, and results – With the reopening of Terminal 2 on June 1, 2021, after having been closed for over 400 days, the infection control measures implemented since the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic in Terminal 1 were applied across the board in Terminal 2. Passenger services, such as the airport information desk, were resumed and expanded as pas- senger numbers increased after they had been temporarily suspended or reduced. For example, four other digital information desks (Info Gates) have been put into operation to assist passengers. The digital information offer featuring contactless, personal interaction with staff has been extended to 12 sites in Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 with the goal of informing all passengers early on about current travel regulations, precautionary measures, and behavioral guidelines at Frankfurt Airport. Fraport continued its Fraport-MONITOR passenger survey, which resumed in August 2020, also in the first half of 2021but with a further reduction in the number of cases per month compared to the period from August to December 2020. Along with the regular long-term passenger survey, Fraport continued a method test, which was launched in September 2020. In this test, 400 passengers filled out the questionnaire of the Fraport MONITOR themselves in the first half of 2021 instead of being asked questions directly by interviewers. Passengers were able to do this on their own mobile device (smartphone, tablet, laptop) or on a tablet provided by the interviewers on site. The digital questionnaire, whose wording was slightly adapted, was available to the respondents for the first time in eight different languages. With the continuation of the method test, further data and information was gathered, and as a result this digital survey replaced the previous face-to-face survey in mid-2021. Global passenger satisfaction is also a relevant non-financial performance indicator at the Group’s foreign airports. In order to guarantee service quality and to meet passengers’ and airlines’ requirements, Fraport conducted extensive modernization measures at the Group airports. The terminal expansion at Ljubljana Airport was successfully completed in 2021. In Greece, in addition to improving the check-in process in order to avoid long waiting times, contactless security checks were also introduced in 2021. In addition, a particular focus was placed on hygiene measures to prevent infection, cleanliness of the terminals, and passenger comfort. Fraport Annual Report 2021Combined Management Report / Economic Report 88 90 Group Management Report / Economic Report Fraport Annual Report 2021 In 2021, passenger surveys at the international Group airports continued to be reduced due to the low passenger numbers. The surveys were conducted in a shorter period of time and with a smaller number of respondents. For this reason, the quality of the service was measured at Ljubljana Airport, including check-in and security control, but also in the retail sector, using the mystery shopping method in the third quarter of 2021. The regular customer satisfaction survey was also resumed in August 2021. At the airports in Varna and Burgas, questionnaires were distributed in paper form, albeit to a much smaller extent. The surveys at Lima Airport have been resumed to a reduced extent with a focus on protective measures in the service units. At the Greek airports, the customer satisfaction survey was suspended once again in 2021. A detailed program of measures, launched in 2020 and developed further in 2021, was implemented in the Group companies and at the Frankfurt site in order to ensure safe flight and terminal operations after the lockdown and to prevent the spread of coronavirus among employees and passengers. Fraport has implemented the safeguards at Frankfurt Airport in consultation with the relevant health authorities and in accordance with all regulatory requirements. The main objective is to follow the EASA “COVID-19 Aviation Health Safety Protocol” recom- mendations (Version 1.1 from May 21, 2020). Since then, floor markings in waiting areas and at baggage claim have indicated the minimum distance to be maintained. A minimum distance of 6 feet (1.5 meters) should be observed wherever possible. Plexiglass panes and mouth-nose protective masks are used wherever it is not possible to maintain a distance. In addition, mon- itors and multilingual terminal announcements explain the applicable distancing and hygiene rules. If, however, people start to congregate in an area, Fraport employees ensure orderly lines are formed. A medical protective mask must be worn in all terminals by anyone over six years of age. Fraport also reminds everyone to regularly wash and disinfect their hands. As another important measure, the feedback system established at the airport to assess cleanliness of the sanitary facilities was largely converted to a contactless system. Passengers now have the option of giving feedback without contact, which is used to optimize the cleaning process. In January 2021, TÜV Hessen once again examined the implemented measures for protecting the health of passengers and employees at the Frankfurt site, once again awarding them the TÜV seal “Safe from Covid-19”. Detailed testing was carried out, for example, on cleaning and disinfection procedures, social distancing measures and controls, wearing protective masks, the availability of disinfectants, the use of standard personal protective equipment by airport staff, and internal protection and precau- tionary measures for employees. Numerous measures have also been implemented at the international Group airports to protect passengers and employees while at the same time enabling smooth travel operations. Floor markings and plexiglass panes were installed at the terminals. In addition, hand sanitizer was provided and posters indicating current regulations were displayed. The frequency and intensity of the cleaning were increased. Employees were trained in protective measures and the corresponding guidelines and provided with protective masks. The international airport association ACI awarded Frankfurt Airport the “Airport Health Accreditation” for the organizational, infrastructural, and personnel measures to protect against the coronavirus. The accreditation was carried out as part of a struc- tured evaluation process along the entire airport process chain and included all stakeholders. The Airport Health Accreditation was also granted to the Group’s Greek airports as well as to the Group airports in Varna and Burgas. The reliable loading of luggage for departing flights and the fast delivery of luggage to the baggage claim for arriving flights have a major impact on customer satisfaction. Fraport AG measures this performance for departure baggage based on the non-financial performance indicator Baggage Connectivity (see also the “Strategy”, “Control”, and “Non-Financial Performance Indicators” chapters). In order to maintain connectivity at its current high level in the future coupled with increasing numbers of baggage items, Fraport is constantly working on optimization measures that are implemented in close cooperation with airlines within the scope of regular performance discussions. The Executive Board is informed about the development of baggage connectivity on a monthly basis. Management receives information on a daily basis so that measures can be taken at any time. Fraport regularly discusses the values with the airlines and ensures improvements are made. For example, Deutsche Lufthansa frequently receives a detailed monitoring report, and optimization measures are managed jointly with Fraport within the scope of regular meetings. Fraport Annual Report 2021Combined Management Report / Economic Report Fraport Annual Report 2021 Group Management Report / Economic Report 89 91 Performance indicators – Global passenger satisfaction and baggage connectivity are considered the most important criteria for measuring service quality (see the “Control” and “Non-financial Performance Indicators” chapters). IT security and airport safety and security Security is the key requirement for air traffic. This principle applies equally to passenger traffic and air freight. Accordingly, security management has always been a top priority at Fraport. All countries in which Fraport is active belong to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and have contractually committed to comply with the organization’s safety standards and recommended practices for airports. In contrast to most ICAO member states, German law allocates passenger and baggage checks to government authorities, whereas in other countries this is usually the responsibility of the airports. IT Security Objective – All important business and operating processes at Fraport AG are supported by IT systems and IT components. Due to the ongoing development of new technologies and the increasing global threat of cyberattacks generally, there is an underlying risk potential for IT systems. Our objective is therefore to protect all IT systems and data against failure, manipulation, and unwanted publication. Concepts, measures, and results – Fraport protects its IT systems and data against failure, manipulation, and unwanted publication with active and preventive IT security management. These systems are configured redundantly and are housed at separate sites. The risks in the area of IT security are included in the risk management system (see also the “Risk and Opportu- nities Report” chapter). The requirements for IT security are specified in the IT security policy and security guidelines that must be followed throughout the Group. Compliance with these requirements is checked regularly by Internal Auditing, IT Security Management, or external advisors. In 2021, Fraport AG once again implemented a variety of projects to adequately respond to the growing risks arising from information technology. The level of IT security is also part of the annual management report for the quality management certification according to ISO 9001 and is regularly audited by external auditors. In addition, potential for improvement identified within the scope of internal audits as well as in the latest KRITIS audit conducted in 2021 according to the German IT Security Act for critical infrastructures (KRITIS) will be processed and the Information Security Management System (ISMS) will be developed further. Within the scope of a working group in the German Aviation Association, Fraport AG along with other airport operators, Deutsche Lufthansa, and the German Air Traffic Control has developed the security standards of the industry. These are based on the new KRITIS requirements. The objective is to establish a high safety standard within the aviation industry through close cooperation and reciprocal verification of compliance with regulatory requirements. The Group companies outside of Frankfurt use their own IT infrastructure, that they protect according to the Group’s IT security guidelines. As a rule, the IT systems of the Group companies at the Frankfurt site as well as the SAP systems of Fraport Greece are integrated into the technology of Fraport AG and managed from Frankfurt. Using other IT systems is only possible with the consent of the Executive Board. At Fraport AG, a separate section is responsible for IT security within the “Information and Telecommunication” service unit. Its tasks are, among other things, the ongoing identification and implementation of measures to meet high security standards. Performance indicator – No performance indicator, target value, or term has been defined within the scope of the Sustainability Program. Fraport Annual Report 2021Combined Management Report / Economic Report 90 92 Group Management Report / Economic Report Fraport Annual Report 2021 Airport safety This area encompasses both security and safety: safety refers to the operational safety of the overall airport as well as the safety within the airport site. Security is understood in terms of defending against terrorist threats and protecting civil aviation. Objective – For all operational processes, the focus is on safeguarding the safety and security of everyone at Fraport's airports. Concepts, measures, and results – The measures include passenger, baggage, and cargo inspections, as well as the access control points for airport employees and suppliers. Regular weekly or monthly meetings are held with airlines, security service providers, and authorities to exchange current information. At the international Group airports, the security requirements of each respective country as well as international standards for safety and security management are in effect. It is the responsibility of the local Group companies to implement and comply with these requirements. They include, among other things, a safety management system and access controls when entering the security area. Fraport AG supports the Group companies in planning and implementing security measures. It also provides needs-based training for employees online, for example within the context of safety and security workshops. Within the scope of specialist exchange events, there is also a regular exchange between the Group companies. Safety Based on European statutory regulations, Fraport AG is obliged to operate a Safety Management System (SMS) at Frankfurt Airport. The EASA Safety Manager follows the guidelines of the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and enjoys a direct reporting right to the Executive Board. The SMS focuses on the safety of airport operations. The SMS takes into account all the risks – technical, organizational, or human – that may affect them. The SMS coordinates security measures in daily operations. It records safety-related events and is able to detect vulnerabilities. The objective is for all parties involved in air traffic to implement the requirements contained in the Safety Policy of Fraport AG. Airport employees can submit safety-related reports to the SMS. In addition, anyone with access to the airside areas (apron and runway) must regularly complete safety training. As a central reporting and alarm point for security matters, Fraport AG operates a security control center at Frankfurt Airport, which activates the emergency and crisis management, if required. The airport fire department, medical services, ambulance service, and the security services then coordinate operations on site. A crisis unit commences operation in the “Emergency Response and Information Center” (ERIC). It coordinates and executes all measures that require a concerted approach at the site beyond any routine damage and risk prevention. If necessary, the “Fraport Emergency Team” (F.E.T.), consisting of volunteer employees of Fraport AG and the Group companies at the Frankfurt site, is deployed, which interacts with passengers, greeters, and relatives on site. The contingency plan for Frankfurt Airport “FRA Not” documents which preparations have been made for various emergency scenarios and defines procedures to minimize the impact. ICAO and EASA prescribe regular exercises to be carried out by the respective airport operating company at the Group airports to train for the handling of emergencies and other security-related scenarios. Such exercises have no impact on flight operations. The results are used for further education and training. Security Both international and European regulations contain guidelines on the structural design of airport infrastructure to prevent attacks such as sabotage or terrorist activities. In Germany, the Air Security Act (LuftSiG) regulates passenger and baggage checks as well as access controls in the airside areas, which are the direct responsibility of the airport operator. At Frankfurt Airport, Fraport employees as well as employees of the Group company FraSec and other private security providers currently carry out airport security checks on behalf of the German Federal Police. Fraport Annual Report 2021Combined Management Report / Economic Report Fraport Annual Report 2021 Group Management Report / Economic Report 91 93 Fraport AG develops measures to maintain high security standards independently and in agreement with the competent authori- ties. In 2020, this included responding to the developments of the coronavirus pandemic: Fraport AG adapted control processes to further ensure safety and, at the same time, minimize the risk of infection. In 2021, the measures were developed further. In May 2021, “Click2Drive”, a fully automated, label-based access control system, was introduced for the first time in Cargo City Süd (CCS). This has clearly improved traffic management in CCS. Performance indicator – No performance indicator, target value, or term has been defined within the scope of the Sustainability Program. Data protection Objective – The objective is to ensure the handling of personal data in compliance with the data protection laws and to safeguard the rights of data subjects, irrespective of whether the data is from passengers, customers, employees, or external companies. Concepts, measures, and results – Fraport AG has a notification process for data protection and data security incidents in place. To consolidate the processes and rules at Fraport AG, existing processes were implemented in a data protection management system and a data protection policy was added. In the data protection policy, the Executive Board has laid out the principles, procedures, and obligations to be observed by all employees when they collect, disclose, transmit, modify, store, or delete personal data such as names, addresses, personnel numbers, or IP addresses in the course of their business activities. Specific topics of data protection, such as data subject information or data subject rights, as well as the deletion of data, were described in guidelines for action. The action guidelines are to be implemented as an annex to the data protection guideline and are binding for all employees. Extensive training concepts such as an e-learning tool and video training have been established, which can be accessed on the Intranet. The Data Protection Officer of Fraport AG monitors whether all data protection regulations are complied with at the company. He reports directly to the Executive Board and is independent. Violations of the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) are reported directly to him – anonymously if so desired. In 2021, Fraport AG did not record any violations of data protection that were reportable according to the GDPR. The majority of the personal data processed by Fraport is due to the issue of airport ID cards and is thus compulsory for security reasons. Fraport AG has implemented both technical and organizational measures to protect data against misuse. Access to this system is allowed to only a limited group of people for a specifically defined task. Fraport AG collects personal data of passengers primarily for the use of parking garages, baggage handling, and specific processes at the terminal. Special regulations were therefore established while implementing biometric passenger processes (biometric eGates at the integrated pre-checks). The travel data is processed exclusively by the airlines. There are clear guidelines for the use of video technology at the Frankfurt site in order to ensure the personal rights of passengers, visitors, and employees. It also regulates the extent to which authorities are allowed to use Fraport video technology. As a result of the coronavirus pandemic, Fraport AG collected personal data at the canteens and restaurants in the terminals up to the end of October 2021 in order to be able to trace possible infection chains. In accordance with the Hessian Ordinance on Infection Protection Measures, as amended, this data is destroyed after four weeks. Working from home, which was quickly implemented for a large number of employees due to the pandemic, accelerated the introduction of appropriate collaboration platforms. Data protection measures assisted in implementing default settings that ensured privacy. In this context, risk analyses in the form of data protection impact assessments were also carried out. The level of data protection is part of the annual management report for the quality management certification according to ISO 9001. In addition, the data protection officer prepares an activity report. From 2022, quality management audits will regularly include questions on data protection issues. The Executive Board of Fraport AG works towards ensuring that Group companies in Europe comply with the European General Data Protection Regulation and the timely implementation of the relevant legal requirements. In addition to offering training for Fraport Annual Report 2021Combined Management Report / Economic Report 92 94 Group Management Report / Economic Report Fraport Annual Report 2021 employees, the Group companies have also created technical requirements to always take data protection into account. For the Group companies outside the EU, the laws on data protection must be complied with in accordance with national regulations. Performance indicator – No performance indicator, target value, or term has been defined within the scope of the Sustainabil- ity Program. Employee-related Matters Group-wide, Fraport aims to remain competitive at all sites and in all sections and thereby secure jobs with fair and just working conditions and guarantee appropriate salaries and wages. Pursuant to responsible corporate governance, Fraport has made a commitment to comply with internationally recognized standards of conduct, such as those defined in the principles of the UN Global Compact, the OECD guidelines, and the ILO Core Labour Standards. They are published in the Code of Conduct for Employees, which commits employees to comply with these fundamental principles. The fundamental importance of the human resources strategy is generally taken into account by the three key non-financial performance indicators of employee satisfaction, women in management positions, and sickness rate, all in Germany. An- other key figure used to monitor accident development is LTIF (Lost Time Injury Frequency). In fiscal year 2021, however, the focus continued to be on addressing the impact of the coronavirus pandemic also from a personnel and human policy perspective. International air traffic has been particularly affected by the effects of the coronavirus pandemic. In order to reduce the economic consequences of the traffic slump at Frankfurt Airport, Fraport also continued short-time work schedules for large parts of the company in 2021. To ensure that personnel costs can be reduced even after the expiry of the special regulations on short-time work, an emergency collective agreement has been agreed for German airports, which are bound by the civil service collective agreement (TVÖD). The emergency collective agreement includes flexible work arrangements in the operational areas, in which work assignments can be canceled on low-traffic days and reclaimed on busy days. In return, redundancies due to operational reasons are excluded. In view of the ongoing coronavirus crisis, the emergency collective agreement is an important building block for further stabilizing the company and reducing costs to the extent necessary. Attractive and responsible employer Objective – Fraport seeks to create good working conditions and maintain a high level of employee satisfaction (see also the “Control” and “Non-financial performance indicators” chapters). Concepts, measures, and results – Due to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on operations at all Fraport Group sites, data on employee satisfaction was once again not collected in 2021 by means of the Fraport Barometer. Given the significant changes in the content and framework conditions of all employees’ tasks due to the pandemic and its impact on operations, a true assessment of satisfaction values and a meaningful comparison with the previous year’s figures is not possible. Instead, the pulse checks introduced at Fraport AG in 2020 were continued. The short online surveys provide an insight into the current mood and satisfaction of the workforce. Based on the results, internal communication was adjusted, and measures were identified and initiated. The results highlight the clear advantages of working from home, such as improved compatibility of work and working life, while at the same time highlighting the importance of communication, flexibility, and the expansion of digital structures. For example, a concept for the modernized design of the workplace was created, taking into account in particular the experiences gained in the coronavirus pandemic. The findings from the survey have been incorporated into the development of a company agreement on mobile work. In principle, the results of regular employee surveys serve to encourage all international Group airports to continuously increase employee satisfaction. In order to be able to implement measures to increase employee satisfaction, this indicator was also monitored at the international Group airports, albeit to a lesser extent and using alternative methods. In Ljubljana, for example, managers were trained in the Fraport Annual Report 2021Combined Management Report / Economic Report Fraport Annual Report 2021 Group Management Report / Economic Report 93 95 Best Leader program. Fraport Greece offered a number of specialist and soft skills training courses via an e-learning platform. Individual development plans for employees were introduced at the Group company Lima. The Group agreement “Conduct of Partnership, Diversity, and Equality in the Workplace” forms the platform for principles such as freedom from discrimination and equal opportunities. The company agreement includes explicit definitions of values as well as specific internal regulations and structures. As far back as 2007, Fraport committed itself to the “Charta der Vielfalt” (Diversity Charter) – an initiative to promote diversity in companies and institutions. From an organizational perspective, responsibility for diversity is assigned to the Executive Director of Labor Relations with corresponding resources. As a responsible employer, Fraport respects and promotes personal diversity and attaches great importance to ensuring that this is reflected in the way employees interact with each other. Diversity is an important goal for Fraport, which the Group addresses systematically as part of its diversity management. Diverse cultural backgrounds, international experience, and gender aspects enrich collaboration and promote innovation and creativity. This enables Fraport to flexibly respond to the changing requirements in the international markets and benefit from them. Fraport is sending a clear signal throughout the Group with its campaign “Respekt für Vielfalt – Ich, Du, Wir” (“Respect for Diversity – I, You, We”). In October 2021, a contribution by Fraport apprentices – a film on the subject of “What would the airport be without diversity” – was awarded the Audience Award in the nationwide team competition for diversity in the workplace, “Diversity Challenge of the Diversity Charter”. This impressively shows that the airport cannot run without diversity, on both the customer and employee side. At the Group Airport in Lima, awareness-raising training on gender equality was carried out, and a prevention campaign against sexual harassment in the workplace was developed. Fraport employs many workers from abroad who often have obtained language qualifications. The Fraport Group therefore uses language trainers and explains the safety regulations of the work areas with forms in easy language and with many illustrations, thus ensuring continuing language education. The measures for strategic succession planning and the supervision of top management positions are carried out organization- ally by the “HR Top Executives” central unit, which is assigned to the Executive Director of Retail and Real Estate. Executives are supervised at the third and fourth levels, and talent management, which is primarily concerned with developing potential execu- tives, is assigned to the Executive Director of Labor Relations within the “Human Resources” central unit of Fraport AG. Fraport AG has been pursuing its goal of increasing the proportion of women in management positions for many years (see also the “Control” and “Non-Financial Performance Indicators” chapters). The topic was taken up by the Human Resources Committee of the Supervisory Board last year and the measures were enhanced. In addition to systematic talent management and the Potential Assessment Center, the long-term measures include the Cross Mentoring Program, coaching measures within the context of the continuous development of female executives, and promoting a network of female executives. In addition, there is the option of working part-time. For job vacancies, suitable female candidates are also actively approached. The economic situation and the resulting Group-wide restructuring program in order to ensure economic sustainability have had a major impact on the projects and objectives in the current year under review and were among the reasons why the objective was not met. Furthermore, women with great potential will be closely supported in their further development through individually created development plans. New long-term targets for the ratio of women in management positions in the first and second levels below the Executive Board in Fraport AG and for the Fraport Group in Germany have been adopted (see also the “Control” and “Non-financial performance indicators” chapters). Performance indicator – Employee satisfaction and the ratio of women in management positions in Fraport AG and for the Fraport Group in Germany (see also the “Control" and “Non-financial performance indicators” chapters). Fraport Annual Report 2021Combined Management Report / Economic Report Group Management Report / Economic Report Fraport Annual Report 2021 94 96 Occupational health and safety Objective – Preventive measures in occupational health and safety in the Fraport Group focus on preserving and strengthening the health, performance, motivation, and thus productivity of employees in the long term. Fraport has therefore set the goal of continuously reducing the number of accidents at work and stabilizing the sickness rate in Germany in the medium term and reducing it in the long term. Concepts, measures, and results – The key principles for Fraport AG and the Group companies can be found in the Group “Occupational Health and Safety” policy. Drawing on the requirements of ISO 45001, the Group policy ensures accountability. The defined guidelines are to be implemented independently by the Managing Directors and supplemented by company-specific rules in internal regulations. This requirement is valid effective immediately for Fraport AG and German Group companies. Taking into account the national laws, the regulation is also an option for desired action for the international Group companies. In accordance with the Occupational Health and Safety Act, Fraport AG has implemented an occupational safety unit and an occupational health services unit under the Executive Director of Labor Relations, which advises and supports corporate depart- ments in the further development of occupational safety. Measures to promote occupational health are controlled by occupational health management. The Occupational Safety Board (OSB) represents the Executive Board’s efforts for the effective and efficient organization of preventive health and safety for the Fraport Group worldwide. The cooperation and the exchange of experiences is organized in the Occupational Health and Safety Management System Board (OH&S-MS), which has a Group- wide meeting once a year. Group-wide tasks are promoted together in order to work efficiently and conserve resources. In addition, there is a steering committee for Fraport health management, where Group and sector-related health measures are discussed, and decisions are made. The effects of coronavirus were once again omnipresent in the 2021 fiscal year, both in private and professional settings. Fraport continued to react to this at its international Group airports as well as at the Frankfurt site and was able to evaluate and implement the most diverse regulatory requirements for safe operations in a timely manner. Extensive sanitation measures were imple- mented, and employees were called upon to adhere to the hygiene guidelines. Many employees still work out of their home office to help to disrupt the infection chains. In addition, all Group companies developed a detailed communication package on the topic of the coronavirus pandemic in order to inform employees and answer their questions. At the Frankfurt site, the Fraport AG occupational health services unit continued to organize an infection chain tracking measure as part of the planned measures to tackle the pandemic, similar to the work of the public health authorities. In the event of suspected cases or regarding contact tracing and health questions on the subject of SARS-CoV-2/Covid-19, the occupational health services unit was available to help and provide information. With the rolling updates of SARS-CoV-2 work protection regulations, the German Federal Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs (BMAS) specified the necessary measures for occupational infection protection. In order to further facilitate implementation during operations, the occupational safety and occupational health services units continued to develop an aid for the organization of operations during the coronavirus pandemic. This provides managers and employees with concrete recommendations and protective measures to make everyday work safer, and it includes advice on the correct ventilation of meeting rooms and office spaces or on correct conduct when using company vehicles. Vaccinations against SARS-CoV-2 as an important measure to contain the pandemic were also carried out by the medical services and occupational health services of Fraport AG. Initially, vaccinations were offered as part of the hospital care at the Medical Center from April 2021. In order to drive up vaccinations, Fraport set up two vaccination centers, which were operated by the medical services and occupational health services of Fraport AG. Company doctors of Fraport AG were involved in the vaccination campaign from June 2021 in line with the regulations. Even after the vaccination centers were closed, a continuous supply of vaccines was maintained at the Medical Center. In addition, all Group employees were continually offered free self-tests in accordance with the regulations. The “Coronavirus Pandemic Protection Measures” instructions for all employees have been regularly updated and provide an overview of current recommendations. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, many employees continued to work from home in 2021. In order to ensure secure and safe working practices for all employees from their homes, the Occupational Safety and Health Protection created a “SafetyCard”. It provides an overview of precautions, important information, and emergency numbers for home office activities. Fraport Annual Report 2021Combined Management Report / Economic Report Fraport Annual Report 2021 Group Management Report / Economic Report 95 97 As many facilities such as gyms had to close due to the pandemic and many employees were working on short-time work sched- ules and increasingly working from home, Fraport Health Management expanded its digital health services offering. These included virtual offers in the area of psychological counseling, addiction counseling, virtual sports offers, numerous newsletters, and a virtual running event. In addition, the topic of occupational health management was added to the service portfolio, which is now being gradually structured and expanded. Additional risk assessments have been continued for operational and administrative activities as well as for the handling of aircraft loaded and unloaded by hand (manually loaded flights). In cooperation with the occupational health services and occupational safety units, guidelines were issued defining how distance markers, protection shields or partition walls, and the mandatory pro- tective masks are used. It is important that a high level of occupational safety standards is maintained when handling dangerous goods, in Ground Services’ operations, in maintenance, in internal transport and traffic, and during infrastructure construction activities. In addition to basic and recurring training programs focusing on various workplaces for all employees and executives, special driver safety training is offered to employees whose work involves driving. Targeted and temporary measures and projects are intended above all to raise employee awareness of safe conduct in operational sections. Due to the effects of the coronavirus pandemic, these measures were only advanced as needed. Preventing accidents at work remains an issue of great importance in the Fraport Group. For the LTIF indicator, which is calculated based on the number of accidents at work (from the first day of absence) in relation to the hours worked (in millions), the objective is to reach a value of 22.5 by 2025. The Group LTIF increased to 22.06 in the reporting year 2021 (previous year: 14.45). The increase is mainly attributable to the higher traffic volume compared with 2020 and the associated reduction in short-time working rates. Various programs and training courses on the subject of occupational safety were carried out at the international Group companies in order to inform employees about hygiene protection measures and procedures. Vaccination offers have also been made available at airports in Slovenia, Greece, Bulgaria, and Brazil. Performance indicator – Sickness rate in the Group in Germany and in Fraport AG (see also the “Control” and “Non-financial performance indicators” chapters).

Fraport Annual Report 2021Combined Management Report / Economic Report 98 100 Group Management Report / Economic Report Fraport Annual Report 2021 Fraport AG collaborates with the region affected by aircraft noise, representatives of the state government, and other members of the aviation industry in two committees. The Aircraft Noise Commission (FLK) is a legally appointed body that advises the Hessian Ministry of Economics, Energy, Transport and Regional Development (HMWEVW), the German Air Traffic Control (Deutsche Flugsicherung, DFS), and the Federal Supervisory Office for Air Traffic Control on noise abatement measures due to flights and air pollution resulting from aircraft exhaust gases. Fraport AG regularly reports the evaluations of the aircraft noise measurements and the results of simulation calculations on aircraft noise pollution to the supervisory authority and the FLK and publishes its findings on its website www.fraport.com/en. The Airport and Region Forum (FFR) is a body of the Hessian State Chancellery. The key task of the FFR is to foster dialog between the region and the aviation industry and to discuss the effects of air traffic, with a particular focus on the Rhine-Main region. The FFR includes the “Active Noise Abatement” expert group, which advises on measures to reduce aircraft noise. The Fraport Noise Monitoring “FRA.NoM” shows currently measured noise levels at the stationary aircraft noise measurement points of Fraport AG and identifies recognized flight noise from the last three months. It also reports the approaches and takeoffs at Frankfurt Airport as well as their effect on the noise levels in real time. The information system for aircraft noise issues, FRA.Map, available online allows interested parties to find information for their location or place of residence on an interactive map. The system also displays the areas that are targeted by noise abatement measures or entitled to compensation payments. As a general rule, a distinction is made between active and passive noise abatement. Active noise abatement Passive noise abatement Reduces noise directly at the source Reduces noise levels through structural adjustments in- side the building Emission-based airport charges Noise ceiling Noise-reducing opera- ting concepts Noise-reducing take-off and landing procedures Financing of noise abatement measures Active noise abatement Active noise abatement directly reduces noise at the source or by implementing noise-reducing operating concepts and takeoff or landing procedures. These measures include establishing a “Ground Based Augmentation System” (GBAS) navigation system, which enables a steeper angle of approach of 3.2 degrees for all runways. With the so-called noise abatement model in both off-peak periods at night, individual takeoff and landing runways are alternately not used, enabling the local nighttime six-hour quiet period to be increased by one hour. Fraport AG charges noise-related charges for takeoffs and landings. According to the new schedule of charges, which will apply from January 1, 2022, the noise-related airport charges for loud aircraft will be further increased. The use of particularly modern, quieter aircraft will be rewarded more than before by adjustments to the Noise Rating Index (NRI). In addition, NRI discounts will be abolished for flights that take place at night between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m., in order to further reduce aircraft movements during this period. Fraport is thus providing further economic incentives for airlines to take off or land in Frankfurt using quieter aircraft. The voluntary alliance for a noise emission ceiling created in 2017 helps to ensure that the noise exposure at Frankfurt Airport during the day does not increase as much as would be permitted under the zoning decision, despite growth in aircraft movements. The traffic volume and traffic structure of the zoning approval for the expansion result in noise contours with continuous sound levels of 55 dB(A) and 60 dB(A). These contours have been reduced by 1.8 dB(A) across the board. The total areas within the reduced contours define the noise emission ceiling. A flight movement quota applies at night: no more than 133 aircraft movements may be scheduled for each average night of the calendar year between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. If the limit values are exceeded, Fraport AG and airlines must examine how they can further reduce the noise level, for example by using quieter aircraft. The calculations in the 2021 monitoring report for 2020 show that the levels once again did not exceed the noise emission ceiling in 2020. The values of the previous year are always checked. Fraport Annual Report 2021Combined Management Report / Economic Report Fraport Annual Report 2021 Group Management Report / Economic Report 99 101 As a noise abatement measure at the Group airport in Ljubljana, the local authority in charge of air traffic control introduced a ban on departures between 12:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. in the direction of the towns of Šenčur and Kranj. Passive noise abatement Passive noise abatement includes measures that reduce noise from the point of origin (emission site, e.g., aircraft) to the place of impact (place of immission, e.g., apartment). Passive noise abatement measures are intended to reduce the noise level inside buildings by way of structural improvements, such as installing sound-insulating windows. Around Frankfurt Airport, Fraport AG has legal obligations to finance noise abatement measures for around 86,000 households. A noise protection area defines which households are entitled to reimbursement by Fraport for noise abatement measures. The application deadline for the current noise protection program expired on October 12, 2021, and invoices can still be submitted until October 12, 2022, for measures requested by the first deadline. In announcing the “Together for the Region – Alliance for Noise Abatement 2012” program in February 2012, the state government promised affected residents additional, more extensive support than previously provided in the vicinity of the airport by drawing on a regional fund. The Equalization of Burdens Act (Regionallastenausgleichsgesetz), with which the State of Hesse has made an additional €22.6 million available to local authorities particularly burdened by aircraft noise until 2021, has been in effect since January 1, 2018. In the area of passive noise abatement, the Fraport Group held provisions in the amount of €39.2 million as at the balance sheet date of December 31, 2021 (see Group Notes, note 40, and Fraport AG’s Notes, note 30). Performance indicator – Compliance with the specified noise ceiling (the area under a Leq 55 dB(A) day (6 a.m. – 10 p.m.) should constantly remain below 22,193 ha). Environmental Matters Airport operations and air traffic have a major effect on the environment. Fraport is committed to fulfilling the environmental requirements associated with this effect. It is particularly important to deal intensively with environmental concerns, especially when planning to expand facilities. The Group’s growth targets must be pursued in line with environmental protection. The expansion activities at the Brazilian airports Fortaleza and Porto Alegre as well as at Lima Airport and in Frankfurt are subject to environmental requirements. For the financing of Terminal 3 at the Frankfurt site, the European Investment Bank (EIB) requires a project progress report every year that also includes all significant environmental aspects. Fraport is committed to issuing a report each year on its environmental activities and performance (see also www.fraport.com/re- sponsibility). To this end, the Group companies report to Fraport AG once a year on a comprehensive catalog of standardized environmental indicators and projects as well as associated improvements, and Fraport AG compiles the information on these indicators for reporting purposes (see also the ESG Factbook at www.fraport.com/publications and the Environmental Statement at www.fraport.com/environmentalmanagement). Climate change mitigation Objective – In order to measure the environmental impact, the Executive Board has identified CO2 emissions as the most important indicator. The goal is to reduce this indicator on a Group-wide level to 120,000 metric tons per year by 2030; Fraport seeks to be carbon neutral by 2045 (see also the "Control” and "Non-financial performance indicators" chapters). Concepts, measures, and results – CO2 emissions of Fraport AG and the Fraport Group are measured and monitored by the department of Environmental Management within the “Corporate Development, Environment, and Sustainability” central unit. The Executive Board is informed twice a year on the development of Fraport AG and the Group issues as part of the Interim Report Q2/6M. In addition, the development of CO2 emissions is reported to the Executive Board annually via detailed monitoring for each building at Fraport AG. Fraport Annual Report 2021Combined Management Report / Economic Report 100 102 Group Management Report / Economic Report Fraport Annual Report 2021 Fraport has used its own monitoring instrument, the CO2 and energy consumption monitoring system, to present, analyze, and manage energy consumption at the Frankfurt site. It creates transparency about consumption and consumers, helps to improve energy efficiency and reduce energy costs. It also allows qualified statements to be made in a timely manner about the current CO2 emissions at Fraport AG and allows any undesirable developments with respect to the strategic CO2 targets to be detected at an early stage. The monthly energy consumption of buildings, plants, and equipment serves as the basis for the data. All energy sources, such as electricity, district cooling, district heating, gas, fuel for vehicles, and other fuels, are taken into account. The "Energiezirkel", which is chaired by the Executive Director Controlling and Finance, meets twice a year and reports all decisions regarding the energy management of Fraport AG at Frankfurt Airport to the Executive Board. This is where the monitoring of the current long-term energy savings measures as well as a continuous examination for further possible measures are carried out in order to uncover levers to improve the energy efficiency of buildings, plants, and processes. Fraport is gradually switching to emission-free alternatives for its vehicles on the apron. To this end, the airport operator put two electric buses for transporting passengers into operation in 2020 as part of a funding project from the State of Hesse and has since been testing the buses with regard to their suitability for everyday use. Since March 2021, the first large photovoltaic system at Frankfurt Airport has been supplying green electricity on a new air freight hall in CargoCity Süd. It generates approximately 1.5 million kilowatt hours of climate-neutral electricity per year. This would supply more than 450 households with four people with electricity for one year. Another photovoltaic system supplies the parking garage at Gateway Gardens, which was completed in July 2021, with energy. Since July 2021, Fraport AG has, for the first time, been purchasing shares of its electricity requirements at Frankfurt Airport from wind turbines as part of a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). The electricity comes from 12 existing onshore wind farms along the German coast. In the second half of 2021, the amount of electricity supplied from the wind turbines amounted to approximately 24.7 gigawatt hours. The wind farms were all erected in the 1990s as part of the support provided by the German Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG) and are now considered to be fully funded. In addition, Fraport and EnBW have concluded a Corporate Power Purchase Agreement (CPPA) on the purchase of wind energy. The CPPA is designed for a term of 15 years from the beginning of the second half of 2026. This allows large parts of Frankfurt Airport’s power supply to be switched to “green” electricity. Fraport also intends to continue to invest in wind and solar energy. The aim is to use renewable energies to meet our own electricity needs at the Frankfurt site as far as possible. An important milestone in reducing CO2 emissions was also reached at Lima Airport. In 2021, a contract was concluded to supply the terminal and the expansion project with renewable energy. Proof of the successful CO2 management is Fraport’s participation in the Airport Carbon Accreditation program of the ACI (Airports Council International). It has evolved into the global standard for CO2 reporting and management at airports. Participation at level 2 (“reduction”) or higher requires proof of both a CO2 reduction target, a CO2 management program in accordance with international requirements, and annual emission reductions verified by external auditors. Frankfurt Airport reached level 3 (“optimization”) back in 2012. Ljubljana Airport reached level 2 in 2015 and is aiming for level 3+ (“neutrality”) in the medium term. In the past fiscal year, the Group airports in Varna and Burgas in Bulgaria increased to level 2. The Greek airports Kefalonia, Mytilini, Rhodes, Thessaloniki, Chania, and Samos as well as Lima Airport are still at level 1 (“mapping”). The airport in Antalya is already at level 3+ (“neutrality”). The other Group airports have yet to participate; however, they are obligated to have their CO2 footprint assessed by way of an external audit. Performance indicator – CO2 emissions in the Group and Fraport AG (see also the “Control” and “Non-financial performance indicators” chapters). Fraport Annual Report 2021Combined Management Report / Economic Report Fraport Annual Report 2021 Group Management Report / Economic Report 101 103 Protection of environment and nature Objective – Fraport’s environmental policy obliges all Group companies to make use of natural resources and the environment in a sustainable, conserving, and preventive manner. This goal is systematically implemented through environmental manage- ment. Based on their business activities, Fraport AG and the fully consolidated Group companies have defined the objective of introducing and implementing such an environmental management system that is classified as “fundamentally environmentally relevant” according to the relevant ISO Standard 14001 and the European EMAS Regulation. The “Eco Management and Audit Scheme” (EMAS) is an environmental management and audit scheme developed by the European Union, which companies can implement voluntarily. This audit is carried out by state-authorized environmental experts. EMAS is considered to be the world’s most demanding environmental management system. Fraport AG has been validated by EMAS for over 20 years. Concepts, measures, and results – Environmental management systems serve to systematically organize, manage, and monitor corporate environmental protection within the company. The environmental management systems cover all environmental factors relevant to the company such as energy consumption, CO2 emissions, air pollutant emissions, effects of business activities on nature and biodiversity, water consumption, and waste. The Coordinator for the Environmental Management System at Fraport AG reports to the Chairman of the Executive Board in management reviews. Fraport AG’s employees’ many years of experience in environmental management benefit all Group companies, for example in the form of technical support, including on site. Companies that join the Fraport Group and do not yet have an environmental management system are obliged to introduce such a system in the course of the acquisition. At the end of the past fiscal year, 80.9% of fully consolidated, environmentally relevant Group companies, weighted according to revenue, had such a system certified according to ISO 14001 or EMAS. Wherever possible, Fraport AG extends the green areas at the Frankfurt site. Fraport AG will upgrade some 2300 hectares of land in the immediate and wider vicinity of the airport from a nature conservation perspective to fulfill a legal requirement under the zoning decision for the airport expansion: deciduous forests, orchards, marshes, and nutrient-poor grassland. Measures to counterbalance the Expansion South project, in particular Terminal 3, are already included in this extensive package of measures. The implementation and evaluation of the measures are subject to continuous monitoring. For ecological compensation measures, Fraport Group held provisions in the amount of €13.9 million as at the balance sheet date of December 31, 2021 (see Group Notes, note 40, and Fraport AG’s Notes, note 29). Promoting biological aviation safety is the responsibility of Wildlife Hazard Management. Wildlife Hazard Management at the international Group airports is implemented according to international regulations as well as, where appropriate, based on more rigorous national and local targets. Corresponding monitoring systems are implemented. Wildlife Hazard Management at Group airports is concerned, among other things, with the monitoring of birds in order to ensure safe operations. In addition to biotope design and standardized animal observations at and around the airport, this also includes aversive conditioning through acoustic and visual stimuli. Maintaining the green spaces is a prerequisite for reducing the number of potential animals on the airport grounds which are relevant to air traffic safety. This is also ensured by Wildlife Hazard Management. Performance indicator – Proportion of fully consolidated, environmentally relevant Group companies with certified environmental management systems (EMAS or ISO 14001), weighted according to revenue. Air quality Objective – There is no legal obligation for airports to monitor air quality. However, Fraport has set the objective of gaining a deeper understanding of the emission of air pollutants (emissions) by the airport and their effect on people and the environment (immissions). Air quality has been monitored at several sites at Frankfurt Airport since 2002. And it is also regularly monitored at some international airports. Concepts, measures, and results – From an organizational standpoint, the “Noise and Air Quality” department of the Aviation strategic business unit is responsible for the topic of air quality at the Frankfurt site. In an annual report, it informs the Executive Board about the measured annual average and annual indicators of air pollutants on the airport grounds. Fraport AG regularly publishes the results of the measurements on its website in the “Air quality annual report”. The measurements show that the air quality on the airport site have remained unchanged at an urban level since the first time air pollutant limits were measured. Fraport Annual Report 2021Combined Management Report / Economic Report 102 104 Group Management Report / Economic Report Fraport Annual Report 2021 Fraport AG cooperates with the German Aviation Association (BDL) and the Airports Council International (ACI). In addition, there are collaborations with the Hessian Agency for Nature Conservation, Environment and Geology (HLNUG) and the Umwelt- und Nachbarschaftshaus in Kelsterbach to study so-called ultra-fine particulates (UFP). Unlike conventional, limit-controlled air pollutants, airports have proven to be a major source of UFP. There are no reliable statements yet on possible health effects. In order to gain further knowledge, the Forum Flughafen und Region (Forum Airport and Region) (FFR) has taken up the subject area in its work program at the request of the state government. A “UFP” working group has been set up at UNH, in which Fraport AG is also involved. The TROPOS consortium, consisting of the Leibniz Institute for Tropospheric Research, the Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht, the Leibniz-Institut für umweltmedizinische Forschung and the Institute for Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences at Goethe University Frankfurt, is currently designing a UFP exposure study. The final study design will be submitted to the FFR for discussion and approval in the first quarter of 2022. Further steps to implement the exposure study will also follow in 2022. The results of this exposure study should form the basis for an impact study on possible health effects of UFP to be carried out at a later date. The HLNUG published its “4. Bericht zur Untersuchung der regionalen Luftqualität auf ultrafeine Partikel im Bereich des Flugha- fens Frankfurt” in January 2022. As was already shown in the previous reports, Frankfurt Airport clearly contributes to the UFP burden in the surrounding area. At all measuring sites, the UFP concentration increases when the wind blows from the direction of the airport area during flight operations. Although the UFP concentration decreases exponentially the further away the measuring sites are from the airport, the airport’s influence still visibly stands out from the baseline concentration. In addition, the analysis of measurements showed that the impact of motor vehicle traffic and air traffic emissions are approximately the same but differ greatly in the particle size distribution. The temporarily very low number of aircraft movements as a result of the corona- virus pandemic is now starting to increase at a steady rate, which is also leading to a higher concentration of UFP at the HLNUG measuring stations. At the local level, there is an overlap of air pollutant concentrations related to the airport and those not attributed to the airport. The airport’s impact on the air quality in the surrounding areas is largely limited to zones within a close proximity and to the nitrogen dioxide (NO2) emissions component. Measurements and modeling suggest, however, that external influences, such as road traffic, also play a role in the air quality on airport grounds. Investigations by the HLNUG relating to the first lockdown (March 16, to April 30, 2020) show that reductions in ground-level nitrogen oxide and particulate matter concentrations in the Rhine-Main region are not due to reduced air traffic alone. In addition, the level of pollutant concentrations depends heavily on the weather. To gain information on the proportion of the overall exposure in a region, computational models have been developed that include all the relevant sources of pollution and their emissions for a given zone. The LASPORT program takes into account various airport-related emission sources in the lower atmosphere, prepares spread computations, and illustrates the exposures. The Airport Association ADV (Association of German Airports) commissioned the program in 2002. The provider has since expanded the program in close collaboration with Fraport AG and other users. Fraport is continuously working to record the air pollutant emissions of all relevant emitters through airport operations at the Frankfurt site on an annual basis in order to achieve a systematic inventory of air pollutant emissions. The selection of the pollutants to be observed depends on their relevance. They are especially important if they are regulated by a threshold value and are recognized in a noticeable amount at Frankfurt Airport. Drawing on an extensive database, potentials for reduction measures can be identified and control procedures can be developed. The data collected also serve as a basis for calculating the airport’s proportion of immissions in the surrounding area. As an airport operator, Fraport can only indirectly influence emissions from aircraft. In order to motivate airlines to use low-emission aircraft, Fraport collects airport charges on nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbon at the Frankfurt site. Airlines pay the emissions- based fee per kilogram of nitrogen oxide equivalent emitted during takeoff and landing (“landing and take-off cycle”, LTO) by an aircraft. Charges are levied per landing and per takeoff. The necessary information on aircraft and engine types is determined by way of a recognized fleet database. Aircraft turbines mainly emit carbon dioxide (about 7%) and water vapor (approximately 3%) in addition to mixed air (about 90%). The additional resulting pollutants of carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, hydrocarbons, and soot account for less than one percent overall. The emission spectrum of aircraft turbines corresponds to that of road traffic. Fraport publishes the quantities of these pollutants emitted by the aircraft at the Frankfurt site in its annual environmental statement. Fraport Annual Report 2021Combined Management Report / Economic Report Fraport Annual Report 2021 Group Management Report / Economic Report 103 105 In addition to flight operations, air pollutants at airports also arise from the apron and vehicle traffic as well as the operation of heaters run on oil or gas. As a way of reducing pollutants, Fraport has gradually upgraded its fleet of vehicles at Frankfurt Airport to include low-emission and electric motors. Already 24% of Fraport vehicles in Ground Services at Frankfurt Airport have electric transmissions. The international Group airports follow the respective requirements in their national laws. Air quality is also monitored at the Greek regional airports Thessaloniki, Corfu, and Rhodes. Since the permissible threshold values have not been exceeded, no measures are required to improve air quality. Performance indicator – Fraport strives to extensively measure the air pollutant emissions by material sources. A key perfor- mance indicator in the strict sense is not defined in the air quality category. Information on the EU Taxonomy Regulation Background Information As part of the European Green Deal to achieve climate neutrality in the European Union by 2050, the EU Taxonomy Regulation was adopted as a tool for classifying environmentally sustainable economic activities. The EU Taxonomy Regulation is a key element of the European Commission's action plan to redirect capital flows towards a more sustainable economy. The regulation provides a standardized assessment of predefined economic activities in terms of their contribution to the achievement of the European Commission's six environmental goals, with the aim of achieving better comparability between companies. This section presents the share of Group revenue, capital expenditure (Capex) and operating expenditure (Opex) for the 2021 reporting period related to the first two environmental objectives of the European Commission (climate change mitigation and adaption) that are taxonomy-eligible in accordance with Article 8 of the Taxonomy Regulation and Article 10 (2) of the delegated acts. Definitions An economic activity is considered taxonomy-eligible if it is described in the delegated acts relating to the climate objectives (climate change mitigation and adaptation), regardless of whether that economic activity meets one or all of the technical screening criteria set out in the delegated acts. Onversely, all economic activities not described in the delegated acts are considered as taxonomy non-eligible. A taxonomy-aligned economic activity means an economic activity that complies with the following requirements: • • • • The economic activity contributes significantly to one or more of the environmental objectives; It does not significantly affect any of the other environmental objectives; It is carried out in compliance with a minimum level of protection; It complies with the technical screening criteria set out in the delegated acts supplementing the EU Taxonomy Regulation. Revenue KPI The share of taxonomy-eligible economic activities in Group revenue was calculated as the portion of net revenue from products and services related to taxonomy-eligible economic activities (numerator) divided by net revenue (denominator; the denominator corresponds to the Group revenue; see also Group Notes, note 5 Revenue). Fraport generates revenue from products and services associated with taxonomy-eligible economic activities in the area of renting. This corresponds to activity "7.7. Acquisition of and ownership of buildings". Revenue from the renting of buildings is mainly reflected in the revenue in the Retail & Real Estate segment and the revenue in the International Activities & Services segment. Fraport Annual Report 2021Combined Management Report / Economic Report 104 106 Group Management Report / Economic Report Fraport Annual Report 2021 Capital expenditure (Capex) KPI The Capex KPI, which indicates the proportion of taxonomy-eligible capital expenditure, is defined as the ratio of capital expendi- ture eligible under the EU Taxonomy Regulation (numerator) divided by the total capital expenditure (denominator). Total capital expenditure includes additions to property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets during the fiscal year. This includes the additions to property, plant, and equipment (IAS 16), intangible assets (IAS 38), rights of use (IFRS 16), and investment property (IAS 40; see also section “Additions to non-current assets” and Group Notes, note 20 Property, plant, and equipment). The numerator consists of the following categories of taxonomy-eligible capital expenditure: • Capital expenditure relating to assets or processes associated with taxonomy-aligned economic activities (category A of Annex I to the delegated acts pursuant to Article 8) • Capital expenditure relating to the purchase of output from taxonomy-aligned economic activities and individual measures enabling the target activities to become low-carbon or to lead to greenhouse gas reductions (category C of Annex I to the delegated acts pursuant to Article 8) In addition to investments related to economic activity 7.7 Acquisition and ownership of buildings, the following economic activities were also identified: • • • • • 6.14 Infrastructure for rail transport 7.1 Construction of new buildings 7.2 Renovation of existing buildings 7.3 Installation, maintenance and repair of energy efficiency equipment 7.6 Installation, maintenance and repair of renewable energy technologies In order to avoid double counting when calculating the Capex ratio, capital expenditure that has already been taken into account under category A will only be taken into account once. Operating expenditure (Opex) KPI To determine the ratio of operating expenses (Opex KPI), the taxonomy-eligible operating expenditure (numerator) according to the EU Taxonomy Regulation is set in relation to the operating expenditure (denominator). The information on operating expenses in accordance with the EU Taxonomy Regulation includes direct non-capitalized costs that relate to research and development, building renovation measures, short-term lease, maintenance and repair, and any other direct expenditure relating to the day-to-day servicing of assets of property, plant and equipment by the undertaking or third party to whom activities are outsourced that are necessary to ensure the continued and effective functioning of such assets. Thus, the definition of operating expenses in accordance with the EU Taxonomy Regulation differs clearly from the definition of operating expenses used in the rest of the management report (see chapter “Glossary”). For example, no expenses for utility services, such as energy expenditure, are included in the definition according to the EU Taxonomy Regulation. The ratio for operating expenditure (denominator) was calculated in accordance with the EU Taxonomy Regulation based on the income state- ment and mainly includes maintenance expenses and other operating expenditure for rents and leasing. The taxonomy-eligible share in fiscal year 2021 results from maintenance expenses for the passenger transport system as well as maintenance expenses for rented buildings. Taxonomy-eligible economic activities The following shares were determined to be taxonomy-eligible for fiscal 2021: Taxonomy-eligible economic activities KPI according to EU Taxonomy Regulation (denominator) in € million Of which taxonomy-eligible in % Of which non-taxonomy-eligible in % Revenues Capital expenditures Operating expenses 2,143.3 1,112.7 78.8 17.8 61.3 30.2 82.2 38.7 69.8 Fraport Annual Report 2021Combined Management Report / Economic Report Fraport Annual Report 2021 Group Management Report / Economic Report 105 107 Research and Development In view of changing expectations on the part of customers and employees, even companies with established business models are being forced to continuously review their actions. To enable long-term success in this dynamic and highly volatile market environ- ment, especially due to the coronavirus pandemic, Fraport strives to meet the various needs of customers and employees, as well as economic requirements, by continuously improving structures and processes. Fraport AG does not conduct research and development in the narrowest sense. Nevertheless, it is always eager to ensure necessary developments are made on its own initiative and to integrate successfully proven solutions in the market in a timely manner. The focus therefore lies on continuously observing markets and technologies in order to identify promising developments at an early stage. Apart from exchanging information within Fraport’s network and participating in international forums with other airports, Fraport also maintains cross-sector dialog through its membership in the Plug and Play LLC network since 2020. This is represented by the Digital Factory, launched in 2021, which also ensures the overall coordination of Fraport AG’s digitization activities and thus tracks the development, scaling, and transfer of solutions throughout the Group. Together with Frankfurt's biggest customer – Deutsche Lufthansa AG and the StarAlliance – the biometric passenger process was expanded further. Subject to prior registration, Lufthansa passengers can now benefit from contactless passage through boarding pass checkpoints to board aircraft at selected gate positions. The first pilot systems for biometric baggage check-in were also put into operation in 2021. In the future, border controls will also use biometric technology. Besides tried-and-tested solutions, Fraport recognizes limited development costs from internally generated intangible assets. This mainly applies to software related to the operation of the baggage transfer system and the Ground Services’ handling processes at Frankfurt Airport, which is developed in the “Information and Telecommunication” service unit (see also note 4 and note 19 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements). In the 2021 reporting year, 158 ideas were processed as part of the Group-wide idea management scheme (previous year: 227), and 16 ideas were implemented (previous year: 25). The ratio of ideas taken on board is thus almost unchanged at about 10% (previous year: 11%). The decline in the number of suggestions for improvement submitted is mainly attributed to the extensive short-time work schedules and reorganizations that have taken place as well as the headcount reductions in the Group. Share and Investor Relations Share performance 2021 The stock market in 2021 was also impacted by the coronavirus pandemic and its effects on the global economy. Investors focused on global rates of infections and the emergence of virus variants. Other areas of focus included the impact of the pandemic on global supply chains, oil prices, and monetary policy measures by the major central banks. Within the volatile market environment, the German leading index DAX ended the fiscal year at 15,885 points, a clear increase of 15.8% compared to year-end 2020. MDAX performance was also positive in 2021, closing the trading year up by 14.1% at 35,123 points. The overall positive perfor- mance was once again strongly influenced by differing individual stock performance. Some industries continued to benefit greatly from the coronavirus pandemic until the end of the year, whereas many companies were negatively affected. While the DAX and MDAX each recorded highs over the course of the year, the emergence of the Omicron virus variant in the final quarter dampened the overall positive performance. Fraport shares recovered noticeably in the past fiscal year after significant price losses in the 2020 fiscal year, closing 19.9% up at €59.18. After moderate growth in the first quarter of 2021 (+5.0%), Fraport shares gained momentum in the second quarter and prices increased by 10.8% compared to the first quarter of 2021. The main reasons for the more dynamic growth in the second quarter were the lower number of infections in Europe and the associated lifting of travel warnings for tourism markets, especially on European short-haul routes. In connection with a rapid recovery of European tourism markets, the Fraport share price rose further to €60.12 in the third quarter - an increase of 4.6% compared to the closing price of the second quarter. Fraport shares peaked for the year at €68.30 in the fourth quarter after the reopening of the US market for European private and business travel on November 10, before the emergence of the Omicron virus variant caused a further setback for the share price toward the end of the year. Fraport Annual Report 2021Combined Management Report / Economic Report 106 108 Group Management Report / Economic Report Fraport Annual Report 2021 Fraport shares had a market capitalization of around €5.5 billion at the end of the year (previous year: €4.6 billion) and therefore, based on market capitalization, were the 25th largest stock among the 50 MDAX shares (previous year: ranked 38th out of 60 MDAX stocks). In terms of stock market turnover (XETRA), Fraport shares ranked 22nd among the MDAX stocks (previous year: 27th). With an average of 256,782 shares traded daily, the trading volume in 2021 was much lower than the previous – very volatile – year’s volume of 398,143.

Source: Bloomberg Dividend for the 2021 fiscal year (recommendation for the appropriation of profit) In the context of the economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the Fraport Group, the Executive Board and the Supervisory Board, as in the previous year, plan to propose to the 2022 Annual General Meeting to forego payout of dividends for the 2021 fiscal year in favor of allocation to revenue reserves. In the medium term, the Executive Board aims to reintroduce Fraport’s previous dividend policy. The Executive Board aims to pay out approximately 40% to 60% of the profit attributable to shareholders of Fraport AG as dividends. In addition, the Executive Board also plans to reintroduce the second principle of the previous dividend policy – a dividend per share that is at least stable compared to the previous year. Investor Relations (IR) Timely, consistent, and transparent communication with investors and analysts is of the utmost importance for IR work at Fraport AG. The IR team maintains personal contact with existing and potential investors in the context of road shows, capital market conferences, and meetings at the company’s headquarters at Frankfurt Airport. Over the past fiscal year, targeted individual and Group meetings again took place as well as presentations with the company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer. Due to contact and travel restrictions related to the coronavirus pandemic, however, they again practically all took place online. The central topic of discussions in 2021 was the impact of the pandemic on the company’s liquidity situation as well as Fraport’s financing and countermeasures. Passenger forecasts for the reporting year and the medium-term outlook for a return to pre-crisis levels were also of particular interest. The necessary increase in airport charges in Frankfurt to compensate for the negative effects of the coronavirus pandemic was also a formative part of the discussions, given the slump in traffic and the regulated business model. Investors on the capital market also inquired about the strategy in international business as well as possible expansions or reductions in the portfolio. Throughout the year, the IR team was available by phone at +49 69 690-74840 or by email at investor.relations@fraport.de for direct dialog. The telephone conferences for analysts on the financial publications, the virtual AGM in May 2021, and the provision of up-to-date information on the IR website at www.meet-ir.com rounded off the range of IR services in the past fiscal year.

Supplementary Management Report on the Separate Financial Statements of Fraport AG The management report of Fraport AG and the Group management report are combined. The explanatory notes below are based on the annual financial statements of Fraport AG, drawn up in accordance with the German Commercial Code (“HGB”) and the German Stock Corporation Act (“AktG”). This results in differences in accounting policies compared to the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS, mainly related to provisions and non-current assets. The Notes to the 2021 annual financial statements are available on the Group’s website at www.fraport.com/publications. Economic development of Fraport AG Results of operations For the explanatory notes on changes in the results of operations, please refer to the presentation of the Aviation, Retail & Real Estate and Ground Handling segments, which essentially covers the business activities of Fraport AG (see “Results of operations by segment”). Compared to the previous year, revenue of Fraport AG increased by €185.7 million to €1,249.0 million. The positive development is attributable to the recovery in traffic and the agreement reached with the German Federal Police concerning aviation security services offset in recent years in the amount of €30.5 million. As in previous years, Fraport AG earned a major portion of its revenue (more than one third) in the past fiscal year through one customer at the Frankfurt site. Fraport Annual Report 2021 110 112 Combined Management Report / Supplementary Management Report on the Seperate Financial Statements of Fraport AG Group Management Report / Economic Report Fraport Annual Report 2021 Other operating income was positively impacted, in particular, by the compensation of €159.8 million granted by the German Federal Government and the State of Hesse for the holding costs incurred in the first lockdown in 2020. Total revenue rose by €346.2 million to €1,471.2 million (+30.8%). Personnel expenses decreased by €43.2 million to €509.6 million (-7.8%) compared to personnel expenses before special items in the previous year, due to the headcount reduction. Taking into account the expenses incurred in the previous year for the “Zukunft FRA – Relaunch 50” program in the amount of €294.7 million, personnel expenses decreased by €337.9 million (-39.9%) in the reporting period. Non-staff costs (cost of materials and other operating expenses) decreased by €43.2 million to €625.5 million, driven by factors such as far lower expenditures for external services and personnel. EBITDA of Fraport AG in the fiscal year amounted to €336.1 million (EBITDA before special items in the previous year: -€96.5 million). Depreciation and amortization decreased by €16.6 million to €315.3 million, mainly due to adjustments in the context of the useful life assessment, leading to EBIT of €20.8 million (in the previous year: -€723.1 million). The main driver of the lower financial result of -€65.1 million (previous year: €2.3 million) was far lower income from Group investments including transfer of profit/loss (-€41.4 million). In addition, interest income increased by €15.1 million as a result of the settlement reached with the Federal Police in the amount of €17.5 million. This was offset by higher interest expenses (+€37.0 million) given the increase in financial liabilities. EBT was -€44.3 million (previous year: -€720.8 million). Income tax relief of €120.8 million (previous year: €129.7 million) resulted, in particular, from the capitalization of deferred taxes based on deductible loss carryforwards. Correspondingly, the net income amounted to €76.5 million (previous year: -€591.1 million). After allocating €38.2 million to other revenue reserves, a profit of €38.3 million remains, which will be transferred to the other revenue reserves accordingly following resolution by the Annual General Meeting.

The increase in non-current assets (+€1,063.4 million) was due to the increase in property, plant, and equipment (+€509.3 million) – in particular in connection with construction measures as part of the Expansion South project at the Frankfurt site and the renewal of the existing infrastructure – and the increase in the portfolio of securities (+€506.8 million). Current assets increased by €780.8 million, bringing them to €2,539.1 million, due in particular to higher cash and cash equivalents (+€781.4 million) on account of a bond issue and new borrowings to assure liquidity. Shareholders’ equity as at December 31, 2021 amounted to €2,964.4 million, and rose by €76.5 million as a result of the net income in the current fiscal year. Liabilities increased strongly year on year by €2,105.7 million to €9,153.9 million, mainly due to the aforementioned financing measures to secure liquidity. Liquidity was expanded enormously in the 2021 fiscal year, to €3,054.9 million as at December 31, 2021 (previous year €1,720.0 million). The extensive borrowing also caused a noticeably sharp uptick in gross debt, to €8,499.8 million (previous year: €6,420.0 million). This led to a significant increase of €744.8 million in net financial debt to €5,444.8 million (previous year: €4,700.0 million). As at the 2021 balance sheet date, the financial debt maturity profile of Fraport AG exhibited the following repayment structure: Maturity profile as at December 31, 2021 in € million 3,609.1 8,449.8 473.3 819.6 1,386.1 804.6 1,136.6 1,130.6 1,303.1 713.0 342.5 120.0 253,0 554.2 3,054.9 Liquidity Gross debt 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 2031 2032 ++ Carrying amounts Nominal values Credit Lines As at the balance sheet date, the financing mix was balanced, consisting of 50.9% bilateral loans, 30.8% promissory note loans, 14.8% bonds and 3.4% commercial papers. The floating rate portion of the gross debt of Fraport AG fell by nearly 7%, with the fixed portion coming to around 93%.

At €821.3 million, cash outflow used in investing activities excluding cash and financial investments was below the previous year’s level (€854.4 million) due to lower cash flow used in expansion and expansion measures. Taking into account capital expenditure on and revenue from cash deposits, securities investments and promissory note loans, as well as time deposits, the cash flow used in investing activities was €1,322.7 million (previous year: €1,629.0 million). Cash flow from financing activities in the past fiscal year was €1,994.1 million (previous year: €2,269.5 million), in particular due to the bond issue and new non-current borrowings to secure liquidity. This brought cash and cash equivalents to €1,050.6 million as at the 2021 fiscal year-end. Events after the Balance Sheet Date Subject to conditions precedent, FraSec Fraport Security Services GmbH will transfer 26% of the shares in FraSec Luftsicherheit GmbH to Dr. Sasse Group in a first step, effective January 1, 2022. In a second step, a further 25% will be transferred effective January 1, 2023. From that point on, Dr. Sasse Group will hold a majority stake of 51% in FraSec Luftsicherheit GmbH. Accord- ingly, the assets and liabilities of FraSec Luftsicherheit GmbH will be recorded separately in the statement of financial position as “Non-current assets held for sale” (€4.3 million) and “Liabilities in the context of non-current assets held for sale” (€8.1 million). Due to the increasing escalation of the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the Executive Board of Fraport AG extended the supplementary reporting on March 14, 2022. On February 24, 2022, an invasion of Ukraine by Russian forces began. In response to this invasion, far-reaching European and international sanctions were and are being imposed against Russia, Russian companies, and Russian citizens. The consequences of the military conflict and the sanction measures already imposed are difficult to assess for the Fraport Group at the present time. They depend on the further development of the sanction measures in particular and possible Russian countersanctions. Negative effects on traffic patterns are possible, particularly at the international Group airports with a high proportion of Russian passengers. Against this background, the Executive Board has prepared an updated forecast as of March 14, 2022, which relates to adjustments, in particular, in the sections "Forecast business development 2022" and "Forecast earnings situation 2022". Beyond these adjustments, there are major uncertainties regarding the recovera- bility of financial assets in the low three-digit million range in connection with the investment in the St. Petersburg Airport operating company. This may have a noticeable negative impact on the development of the asset, financial, and earnings position of the Fraport Group. No further significant events occurred after the balance sheet date for the Fraport Group. Risk and Opportunities Report Risk strategy and objectives Fraport aims to use consistent and comprehensive processes to ensure an early identification, a consistent assessment, the control, and monitoring of risks and opportunities, and a transparent communication around these with a systematic reporting. For this, all Fraport Group employees are required to participate actively in risk and opportunity management within the scope of their duties. Finding a proper balance between risks and opportunities begins in the strategic planning process and in the preparation of the long-term business plan. In general, Fraport strives to balance opportunities and risks, in order to increase added value for its stakeholders by analyzing and tapping new market opportunities and potential. Fraport Annual Report 2021 Fraport Annual Report 2021 Combined Management Report / Risk and Opportunities Report 113 115 Organization of the risk management Structure and responsibilities of the risk management system Finance and audit committee of the Supervisory Board Executive Board Risk Management committee (RMC) Risk Management and Internal Control System Department Chief Risk Officer Fraport AG Departments / Group companies I n t e r n a l A u d i t The Fraport Executive Board bears overall responsibility for an effective risk management system that ensures a consistent and comprehensive risk management. In this context, by preparing the development plan, it has also approved the risk strategy and risk objectives for the Group. The Executive Board appoints the Chief Risk Officer and the members of the Risk Management Committee (RMC), approves the rules of procedure for the RMC and the risk management guidelines, and receives the quarterly reporting and ad hoc releases in the risk management system. The RMC is the highest ranking committee in the risk management system and, following its meetings, releases the risk reports to the Executive Board on a quarterly basis. The Chief Risk Officer is the spokesperson for the RMC and reports directly to the Executive Board. The Risk Management and Internal Control System Department is responsible for the organization, mainte- nance, and further development of the Group-wide risk management and internal control system (ICS), as well as the regular updating and implementation of the risk management system and ICS guideline in the Fraport Group. Risk and opportunity management is a key function of the respective business, service, and central units of Fraport AG and Group companies that are responsible for their business processes; this involves management of material risks and the use of appropri- ate measures to mitigate and reduce them to an acceptable level, as well as actively capitalizing on opportunities. The internal monitoring systems are made up of process-integrated and process-independent monitoring measures. The central Group Internal Audit unit is integrated into the internal monitoring system of the Fraport Group with process-independent audit activities. PricewaterhouseCoopers Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft GmbH (PwC) has examined the risk early warning system of Fraport AG during the audit of the annual financial statements for stock corporation law requirements. It fulfills all of the legal requirements that apply to such a system. The Supervisory Board of Fraport AG is tasked with monitoring the effectiveness of the internal control and risk management system as per Section 107(3) of the AktG. The finance and audit committee (FAC) of the Supervisory Board handles this responsibility. Risk transfer through the purchase of insurance policies is controlled by the Group company Airport Assekuranz Vermittlungs- GmbH. The risk management system is documented in a guideline for Fraport AG and one for the Group companies to be involved, is closely linked to the central ICS, and is reflected in an integrated risk management software solution. It follows the “COSO II” (Committee of the Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission) framework and covers risks in the areas of strategy, day-to-day operations, finance, and compliance. The risk management system only covers risks.

Opportunities are regarded as future developments or events that can lead to a positive planning deviation or strategic target deviation. Operational business, service and central units of Fraport AG and the Group companies use various tools to identify risks, and the Risk Management & ICS Department, the RMC and the Executive Board identify risks top down. The risk identification methods used range from market and competition analysis, to the evaluation of customer surveys, information about suppliers and institutions, right through to monitoring risk indicators from the regulatory, economic, and political environment. The heads of Fraport AG units and the executives of the Group companies are responsible for the accuracy of the information from their units/companies that is processed in the risk management system. They are obligated to monitor and manage continuously risk areas and report all risks in their units and companies to the Risk Management & ICS Department on a quarterly basis. Central risk management can use the risk reports to identify risk trends in the Fraport Group. Outside of regular quarterly reporting, newly identified substantial risks must be reported immediately. Fraport Annual Report 2021Combined Management Report / Risk and Opportunities Report Fraport Annual Report 2021 Combined Management Report / Risk and Opportunities Report 115 117 Risk Evaluation Systematic risk evaluation determines the impact and probability of occurrence of the identified risks, and enables an estimate of the extent to which individual risks could jeopardize the objectives and strategy of the Fraport Group, or of the risks that are most likely to pose an existential threat. Risk evaluation is always based on a rolling 24-month period. However, this does not mean that risk owners only analyze and evaluate the risks from a short-term perspective; possible infrastructural risks are in particular monitored in accordance with their long-term impact. The evaluation system divides the potential impact (= impact level) into four categories: “low”, “medium”, “high”, and “very high”. It then assesses the impact level based on how the risks affect the relevant detection variable (EBIT, financial result, or liquidity). Furthermore, qualitative factors (media reporting/attention, effect on stakeholders), which could be important for Fraport’s reputation and which also determine the risks, are also included in the analysis. The probability of occurrence for individual risks is also divided into four categories: “unlikely”, “possible”, “likely”, and “very likely”. The risk level (low, moderate, considerable and substantial) arises from the combination of impact level and proba- bility of occurrence. The risk evaluation is conservative, i.e. it reflects the worst-case scenario for Fraport. A distinction is made between a gross and a net risk. The gross risk is the worst-case (financial) impact before countermeasures. The net risk represents the expected residual (financial) impact after initiation or implementation of countermeasures. The risk assessment in this report only reflects the net risk. In order to assess possible combination effects between individual risks, the Risk Management and Internal Control System department annually prepares a risk aggregation as part of the planning process. The impacts of the risks are aggregated by Monte Carlo simulation and applied to the balance sheet and income statement of Fraport AG in the planning horizon, taking into account of planning uncertainties. As a result from the risk-bearing capacity analysis the impacts on the financial performance indicators of Fraport AG are analyzed and reported to the Executive Board as part of the approval of the business plan. Management of Risks Risk owners are tasked with developing and implementing suitable measures to minimize and manage risks. In addition, general strategies must be developed to deal with the identified risks. These strategies include risk avoidance, risk reduction with a focus to minimizing the (financial) impact or the probability of occurrence, transfer of risk to a third party (for example, through the purchase of insurance policies), or risk acceptance. The decision regarding the implementation of the relevant strategy and/or measures also considers the costs in relation to the effectiveness of potential countermeasures. Here, the Risk Management and Internal Control System department works closely with the risk owners in order to monitor the progress of countermeasures and to evaluate their effectiveness from a Group perspective. Risk monitoring and reporting Integrated risk management is intended to ensure a transparent picture of the risk situation for the Fraport Group. Risks are reported to the Executive Board when they are classified as “considerable” or “substantial” on the basis of their net risk according to systematic evaluation standards used Group-wide. In the event of very significant changes to previously reported risks or newly identified “substantial” risks, reporting also takes place outside of the regular quarterly reporting as ad hoc reporting. Twice a year, the Executive Board reports the considerable (amber) and substantial (red) risks, including any changes in these, to the Finance and Audit Committee of the Supervisory Board. The figure below shows the recipients of the risk reporting, accord- ing to the net risk.

An integral component of Fraport’s risk management system is also assessment financial risks, whereby the presentation of financial instruments overall and, in particular, hedging transactions in accounting is monitored and controlled. This process is described in the financial risks section (“Risk report” in accordance with section 289 (2) no. 1 HGB and section 315 (2) no. 1 HGB). At Fraport, this process represents a subsection of the accounting-related internal control system. Organization of opportunity management The opportunity management system of the Fraport Group is intended to identify and evaluate opportunities at the earliest possible stage and to initiate appropriate measures to capitalize on them and ensure their commercial success. This includes the assess- ment of opportunities from existing business, as well as from new business fields. The business, service and central units responsible for their business processes and the Group companies identify opportunities throughout the year as part of the operational management of the company and as part of the annually revolving planning process. This involves the regular review of opportunities as part of risk reporting by the Risk Management and Internal Control System Department. While short-term earnings monitoring focuses on opportunities that mainly pertain to the current fiscal year, the planning process focuses on opportunities that are of strategic importance for the Group. In the planning process, Fraport assesses market and competitive analyses, as well as environmental scenarios, and deals with the orientation of the product and service portfolio, the cost drivers, and the critical success factors of the industry. Furthermore, Fraport monitors the identifiable trends among compet- itors and customers – such as airlines, passengers, and tenants – as well as in businesses outside of the industry which have an impact on air traffic in general and airport operations in particular. Fraport aims to further develop and expand the value-creating business fields that are already part of its operations. Moreover, Fraport is investing in business fields and business ideas in which the company can build sufficient competencies in order to create value over the long term. Fraport Annual Report 2021Combined Management Report / Risk and Opportunities Report   Fraport Annual Report 2021 Combined Management Report / Risk and Opportunities Report 117 119 In addition to opportunity management by the business, service and central units of Fraport AG and the Group companies, Fraport also draws on the expertise of the entire workforce. With a variety of instruments, Fraport aims to identify opportunities developed by employees. Aside from the traditional Group idea management, this includes the “Digital Factory” and membership in the Plug and Play LLC network (see also the “Research and Development” chapter). Business risks and opportunities The following section explains the risks and opportunities that could have a substantial impact on the business operations or the asset, financial, and earnings position and/or reputation of Fraport, as well as effects on its stakeholders. Unless indicated other- wise, the risks and opportunities described pertain to all segments to varying degrees (Aviation, Retail & Real Estate, Ground Handling, and International Activities & Services). Selected, non-substantial risks are indicated on a voluntary basis in order to provide a comprehensive view of the risk situation. Fraport AG is the parent company of the Fraport Group and comprises all of the described segments. Therefore, it is also directly or indirectly, subject to the risks and opportunities described. The following table describes the substantial and other selected individual risks and opportunities: Business risks and opportunities Strategic risks and opportunities Further development of the COVID-19 pandemic Risks • • • • Measures • The further development of traffic in Frankfurt and the Group’s airports depends, among other things, on local infection rates, the political response to the pandemic, and, as a result, the extent of international and domestic travel restrictions and when they are lifted. Moreover, it also depends on the continued progress of vaccinations of the population in the markets relevant to Fraport, to curb the spread of COVID-19. A potential lack of vaccine effectiveness, particularly for future virus variants, could lead to ongoing travel restrictions and a delayed recovery in demand. Moreover, a lack of internationally reliable health and travel rules may also delay a recovery in air traffic. The future development of the COVID-19 pandemic is currently difficult to predict. Due to continued uncertainty among passengers, changes in travel behavior at the expense of air travel are still possible. Cost-cutting measures by many companies and the increased use of digital media will continue to lead to restrictive travel policies for business travel and, as a result, fewer business trips. Thus, the various points of uncertainty pose a risk that the recovery in traffic volumes will be slower than expected. • • • • • Coordination with health authori- ties and airport associations Close cooperation with airlines and authorities to coordinate the resumption of international air travel Comprehensive health and hygiene measures at all sites Strategic program “Zukunft FRA – Relaunch 50” to reduce operational costs Strengthening the international travel chain Implementation of emergency collective restructuring agreement Trend è Risk Evaluation: substantial % 0 5 – 0 2 > €40 mn Opportunities • All sites have implemented comprehensive programs of measures to guarantee and resume safe airport operation in times of the COVID-19 pandemic. In this way, Fraport is creating confidence in safe passenger travel, which will ensure a recovery of passenger numbers. • Quick progress in vaccinations and/or an earlier mutation of the virus to a less dangerous variant could lead to an expedited containment of the pandemic and thus a faster recovery in demand. • Global air traffic could recover faster than expected if appropriate internationally harmonized testing strategies and vaccinations are • • • offered and, as a consequence, travel restrictions are lifted. A timely opening of the Far Eastern market could ensure a further, accelerated recovery in traffic and a return to intercontinental transfer flows. Catch-up effects could prompt a recovery in tourist travel demand sooner than expected for trips that have been postponed so far. Frankfurt Airport can benefit from a concentration of air traffic at the major hubs compared to other airports due to its hub function and good connections to the rail and road network. Fraport Annual Report 2021Combined Management Report / Risk and Opportunities Report 120 118 Combined Management Report / Risk and Opportunities Report Fraport Annual Report 2021 Macroeconomic risks and opportunities • • • The COVID-19 pandemic caused an increase in global public debt and the threat of prolonged inflation. This may drive up bankruptcies, unemployment, increases in taxes and other duties, and drive down real incomes and wealth, with an adverse impact on the global economy, and with it the demand for both business and leisure travel, over the coming years. Economic growth is still expected in the Euro area. However, the ongoing disruption of supply chains and the supply of production materials is likely to hamper production, exports, and thus economic development in Germany in 2022 as well. Even after the COVID-19 pandemic, global trade could face a structural shift toward national protectionism, which would affect Germany’s export-oriented economy. • Growth could be dampened by the weakening of the EU as a result of diverging • interests among the member states and the actions they take. Further macroeconomic risks in China, the United States, the Middle East, Russia, and in various emerging countries could dampen the development of the global economy. In particular, the geopolitical conflict between Russia and Ukraine could have an impact on the global economy. This would have repercussions on Germany’s export-oriented economy and the airline industry. Measures • Strong geographic diversification and focus on various passenger groups at the Group airports to reduce individual macroeco- nomic risks. • Geopolitical risks, restrictive political interventions, and saturation tendencies in air traffic demand in Western countries can be balanced out from regionally different growth potential among the Group airports. Trend è Risk Evaluation: considerable % 0 5 – 0 2 €20–40 mn Opportunities • According to economic research institutes, a far-reaching recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic could already lead to a robust recovery in economic growth in 2022. Demand in international air traffic could increase more strongly if the supply chain problems and material bottlenecks can be resolved in 2022 and the global economic recovery gains momentum, thus keeping unemployment low. Growth in the economic areas of the USA, the Far East, and Europe can have positive effects for hub operations in Frankfurt in particular. A weak Euro could make European goods cheaper internationally and thus provide a positive impulse for the export economy, from which Frankfurt Airport could particularly benefit as a hub. • Market, competitive and regulatory risks and opportunities In addition to demand and the attractiveness in its domestic market, the local competitive situation and attractive infrastructure, the success of an international airport depends on its airline customer structure and the associated global and dense route network, the fleet structure, and the fares offered by the airlines. Risks • Once the COVID-19 pandemic has been overcome, competitive pressure could Measures • Trend â Risk Evaluation: substantial % 0 5 – 0 2 > €40 mn Continuous market monitoring and analysis of early warning indicators to identify and address potential changes and trends in travel and cargo flows in a timely manner Balanced, demand-oriented expansion planning at Group airports in order to remain competitive in the long term Attractive sustainable and fair remuneration structure Strengthening cooperation with key customers at Group airports Strengthening cooperation with Deutsche Bahn to ensure an attractive intermodality offer at Frankfurt Airport Implementation of climate protection measures to achieve international sustainability goals Active participation in industry- related associations (e.g., ACI, ADV, BDL, ICAO) • • • • • • increase noticeably for Frankfurt Airport, as sufficient airport capacities could also be available at competing airports, and competition for demand for air travel via charges and incentives could become fiercer. Decisions on fleet locations, modified routes and fleet developments, as well as changing customer preferences for source and destination markets when choosing means of transport, airlines and airports can have a detrimental effect on Fraport. The creation of new or further development of existing hub systems in the Middle East and the new Istanbul Airport, will increase supply, potentially resulting in a shift in global transfer passenger flows after a recovery in air travel. The tight financial situation of the airlines as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and their overcapacities in the recovery phase are likely to lead to further insolvencies and thus to market consolidations. A potential wave of bankruptcies could also affect tour operators and travel agencies. The resulting drop in supply could further weigh on the passenger forecast. The necessary repayment of government aid to airlines and tour operators could lead to an increase in ticket or package holiday prices and thus dampen demand. Political and regulatory decisions at the regional, national and European levels will continue to affect the aviation sector. Climate protection and noise reduction requirements and associated taxes and charges could drive up the cost of air travel, and typically involve unilateral action on the market and on competition in international air traffic. These measures include the EU emissions trading system (ETS), German civil aviation tax, a potential obligatory blending quota for sustain- able aviation fuels, a possible kerosene tax, a potential minimum ticket price, possible CO2 quotas for domestic flights or restrictions on the same, as well as noise pollution restrictions and night flight bans. Stronger targets under the European Union’s Green Deal (Fit for 55) and the upcoming review of the Emission Trading Directive will place an increased burden on European sites compared to international sites. If the measures are not designed to be neutral in a competition context, there is a risk of structural competitive disadvantages for German and European air traffic with corresponding economic losses. Rising crude oil and thus also kerosene prices could result in higher airfares and an associated dip in air travel demand. If competition is intense, rising crude oil prices could pose financial difficulties for less solvent airlines, with a resulting drop in supply. The increased use of digital communication media in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic could lead to a large, sustained decline in demand for business travel. • • • • • • • Fraport Annual Report 2021Combined Management Report / Risk and Opportunities Report Fraport Annual Report 2021 Combined Management Report / Risk and Opportunities Report 119 121 • • • The current political discussion around reducing short-haul traffic could prompt a shift to alternative means of transport, which would hamper demand for flights. Passengers who cannot or do not want to use alternative means of transport could switch to using foreign airports and Frankfurt Airport would subsequently lose such customers. Discussions surrounding climate protection could produce a long-term shift in travel behavior and lead to more people deciding against air travel. Terror attacks and hot spots of unrest could affect demand for specific travel destinations. Opportunities • Previous development cycles in air traffic show that market turbulence generally only temporarily burdens the upward development of global air traffic. Long-term forecasts continue to assume growing demand in global air traffic. • Market exits of airlines lead to a concentration of established airlines at the larger German airports, from which transfer traffic at Frankfurt Airport in particular can benefit. High-quality connections to the Deutsche Bahn rail network at Frankfurt Airport ensure demand from transfer traffic within Germany even if air traffic is shifted to rail. The Bahn 2030 concept, the new Rhine-Main–Mannheim line (from 2030) and the construction of a new railway tunnel under Frankfurt (from 2035) not only strengthen the competitiveness of rail, but also offer the possibility of additional connections to Frankfurt Airport and thus an expansion of its catchment area. In addition, improvements to the intermodal product such as end-to-end ticketing and baggage transport, allocation of flight numbers for trains and airport codes for stations, etc. could be achieved by 2035. Capacity increases at the Group airports are being implemented or have been completed, which will result in improved quality for airlines and greater passenger satisfaction and will enable the Group to benefit further from long-term growth in the air traffic market. A possible liberalization of air traffic rights can open up new markets for air traffic and expand existing markets. International harmonization of regulatory measures that so far have distorted competition, such as the German air traffic tax, would reduce such disadvantageous distortions. There is a chance that airlines will further expand their intercontinental fleet in Frankfurt due to the good existing connecting hub, thereby strengthening tourist traffic. Digitalization and innovations offer new opportunities to improve processes, raise efficiency, and increase customer satisfaction. • • • • • • • Drainage for the parallel runway system Risk In the event of evidence of deicing substances in the groundwater, the upper water authority could impose a requirement for a qualified drainage system for the parallel runway system at Frankfurt Airport and issue a corresponding water law order. • Operating risks and opportunities Risks and opportunities from capital expenditure projects Measures • Continuous groundwater monitoring and regular measurements to verify compliance with limit values Regular review of the deicing products and operational processes Trend â Risk Evaluation: substantial % 0 5 – 0 2 about €300 mn Capital expenditure on construction at Frankfurt Airport is divided into two separate programs: FRA-Nord for projects in existing infrastructure and Expansion South for projects to expand or create capacity.

This risk cannot be directly influenced by LAP, but could affect the capacity available at the airport. LAP has adjusted the expansion program (new construction of a smaller passen- ger terminal, parallel operation with the existing terminal) compared to the Airport Development Plan (construction of a larger midfield terminal and closure of the existing terminal), which has been in place since 2018. The Peruvian civil avia- tion authority DGAC objected to the adjustment of the Airport Development Plan in the second half of 2021. LAP has started, but not yet concluded, negotiations with the Ministry of Transport and the subordinate authorities (including the DGAC) in accordance with the provisions of the concession agreement. In parallel to the negotiations, the DGAC requested an official interpretation of the concession agreement by the Peruvian regulatory authority OSITRAN to determine whether a two-terminal concept is compatible with the agreement. In the event that OSITRAN comes to the conclusion that a two-terminal concept is in principle incompatible with the concession agreement, the implementation of the airport expansion would have to be re-evaluated and further legal steps would have to be examined. A single-terminal concept means that future expansion stages would have to be brought forward. Compared to current planning, this would lead to an increase in the volume of capital expenditure over the coming years – with a corresponding reduction in future capital expenditure on the remaining term of the concession. In order to cover any financing needs that may arise from this, the planning model of the initiated project financing would have to be revised and final negotiations with the lending banks would have to be conducted. In the event of non-compliance with contractual obligations (e.g., completion deadline or minimum technical requirements) governing the airport expansion, the concession agreement generally provides for contractual penalties based on the outstanding investment volume to rectify non-compliance with the deadline or the minimum technical standard. Due to the scope and complexity of the expansion program, there is a risk that fines will have to be paid to the Peruvian government in the future, depending on the progress of construction as well as any unpredictable circumstances.

Fraport Annual Report 2021Combined Management Report / Risk and Opportunities Report 124 126 Combined Management Report / Risk and Opportunities Report Fraport Annual Report 2021 Information on the accounting-related internal control system in accordance with section 289 (4) HGB and section 315 (4) of the HGB The accounting-related internal control system of the Fraport Group monitors compliance with the generally accepted accounting principles and legal requirements. It is based on the framework of the Committee of the Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In Fraport AG the accounting-related internal control and risk management system are embedded in the Group-wide internal control and risk management system. Fraport AG prepares its own separate financial statements in accordance with German commercial and stock market regulations. The process of preparing the financial statements of Fraport AG is documented in a schedule detailing each individual step, including deadlines and responsibilities. Group Accounting monitors the progress and schedule system-assisted. In order to ensure standardized procedures, important operational processes of the sub-ledgers (accounts payable, debtors, asset account- ing, treasury, accounting of the decentralized departments) and general ledger have been documented in policies, process descriptions, manuals, and guidelines. Fraport AG uses the SAP ECC 6.0 system for its accounting. Accounting-related internal controls are carried out, where possible, in the SAP ECC 6.0 system. Manual application and monitoring controls are carried out during the operational accounting processes in the sub-ledgers. The four-eyes-principle is implemented when preparing the financial statements in the general ledger, and mainly manual monitoring controls are carried out for the purpose of ensuring the completeness and correctness of items recognized in the sub-ledgers. The tax department calculates and posts taxes on income, and performs manual application and monitoring controls. Segregation of duties in the departments involved in the accounting process is ensured on a system, personnel, and organizational level. An SAP authorization concept for Fraport AG is used for issuing and administering access authorization for accounting- related systems. Group accounting at Fraport is basically organized on a decentralized basis. Reconciliation of the local individual financial statements (commercial balance sheet I) of the parent company and subsidiaries, joint ventures and associated companies to the individual financial statements (commercial balance sheet II) prepared in accordance with uniform Group accounting policies is carried out decentrally by the companies. To ensure uniform Group accounting and measurement Fraport has developed an IFRS Group accounting guideline, on the basis of which the companies included in the Group financial statements reconcile commercial balance sheet I to commercial balance sheet II. The effectiveness and correctness of the Group accounting process is confirmed by the companies included in the consolidated financial statements in the context of an internal Group declaration of completeness. Wherever possible, accounting-related internal controls are carried out in SAP BPC. Access authorizations at the level of the consolidated companies are assigned and managed centrally at Fraport AG on the basis of a user authorization concept. Manual application and monitoring controls, particularly with regard to the completeness and quality of the reporting data, are carried out as part of the operational accounting processes in Group accounting. The effectiveness of the internal control system is reviewed annually by means of a control self-assessment. The consolidated financial statements are prepared in the Group accounting department of Fraport AG. The Group financial statement process is described in detail in a flow chart, which contains the individual process steps with dates and responsibilities. The progress of the process as well as reporting deadlines and the completeness of the Group reporting system are monitored by Group accounting. The notes to the consolidated financial statements are prepared as part of the consolidated financial statement process by the Group Accounting department. Where necessary, the information in the notes to the consolidated financial statements is subsequently checked by central or decentralized specialist departments after the notes to the consolidated financial statements have been prepared. Fraport Annual Report 2021Combined Management Report / Risk and Opportunities Report Fraport Annual Report 2021 Combined Management Report / Risk and Opportunities Report 125 127 The Corporate Finance and Investor Relations department is generally responsible for preparing the combined management report. This department consolidates the information provided by the specialist departments. Subsequent control of the consolidated information is in turn performed by the specialist departments. Key sub-processes of the Group accounting process, as well as the internal controls contained therein, are subject to the scheduled audit by the Internal Audit department. Outlook Report Note on forecasts The business outlook assumes that the domestic and international economy and air traffic will not be impaired by external shocks such as terror attacks, wars, further pandemics, natural disasters, or turbulence on the financial markets. The statements on the expected asset and financial position as well as results of operations assume the recoverability of financial assets in connection with the investment in the St. Petersburg Airport operating company in the consolidated statement of financial position as of the date of preparation of the consolidated financial statements on March 14, 2022 (see also the "Events after the balance sheet date" chapter). They are based on the IFRS accounting standards to be applied in the EU at the beginning of the 2022 financial year. The “Risk and opportunities report” chapter covers risks and opportunities that are not factored into the business outlook and that may result in significant negative or positive changes to the forecasted development. General statement by the Executive Board Given the further development of the coronavirus pandemic and the associated supply bottlenecks, economic institutes expect global growth of 4.4% for the current year. Depending on the further course of the coronavirus pandemic and progress of vac- cination or the immunization of the population, potential further virus mutations, political regulations in Germany and the recovery of business travel as well as the markets of Europe, North America, and the Far East relevant to Fraport, the Executive Board therefore expects passenger numbers for the year as a whole to be in the range of 55% to 65% of the level of 2019. The Executive Board expects the invasion of Russian forces in Ukraine to have a negative impact on the global economy. However, the effects on traffic development at the Group sites and thus the asset, financial, and earnings position of the Fraport Group cannot be conclusively assessed at the present time. Nevertheless, the Executive Board expects negative effects on traffic development, particularly at the international Group airports with a high proportion of Russian passengers, especially in Antalya. The forecasts for the Group result and ROFRA have been adjusted accordingly. Overall, the Executive Board expects Group EBITDA of between around €760 million and approximately €880 million in 2022 and Group EBIT of between €320 million and around €440 million. The Group result is forcasted of between €50 million and approximately €150 million. ROFRA is expected to be slightly below to slightly above the 2021 level in fiscal 2022. Free cash flow is expected to remain at approximately the same level as 2021. The net financial debt to EBITDA ratio is expected to be in the high single-digit range. Group liquidity is projected to come out at a slightly lower level than in 2021 in the context of the negative free cash flow, despite plans for comprehensive financial measures. The Executive Board continues to project a stable financial situation for the Fraport Group over the forecast period. The Executive Board finds the development of an existential threat from the individual risks described in the risk and opportunities report, or a combination of these, to be highly unlikely considering the current projections for the future course of the coronavirus pandemic (see also the “Risk and opportunities report”). In the forecast period, the Executive Board does not foresee any acquisitions or disposals of companies or increases or reductions in shareholdings. Fraport Annual Report 2021Combined Management Report / Outlook Report 126 128 Konzern-Lagebericht / Prognosebericht Fraport-Geschäftsbericht 2021 Business outlook Forecasted situation of the Group for 2022 Development of structure The Executive Board does not expect any changes to the Group structure in the 2022 fiscal year that will have a substantial impact on the asset, financial, and earnings position. Development of competitive position and future markets The development of future markets remains the focus of the strategic objective “Growth in Frankfurt and internationally,” (see also the “Strategy” chapter). Fraport aims to market its airport expertise around the world and participate in the appeal of new markets. In this respect, Fraport selectively assesses whether to participate in international tenders. Development of strategy In view of the economic situation arising from the coronavirus pandemic, Fraport will continue to implement measures derived from the Group strategy in fiscal 2022. Under the “Zukunft FRA – Relaunch 50” program (see also the “Strategy” chapter), the business units and the Group companies will continue their intensive work to secure an economically, organizationally, and culturally competitive position for Fraport over the long term. In order to control Group-wide sustainability management, Fraport will considerably expand its activities in this area in 2022. In addition to maintaining a high level of transparency, Fraport will initiate new topics and measures to make the company and civil aviation at its airports fit for the future. Development of control In order to continuously measure and improve employee satisfaction in the Group and at Fraport AG, the methodology for the employee survey is being redefined. The process will be made more efficient, and the questionnaires will be harmonized and digitally mapped. For the non-financial performance indicator employee satisfaction, a new objective will be set with a correspond- ing term. In 2022, the Executive Board does not expect any substantial changes in the financial and non-financial performance indicators used to steer the Group. As described in the “Control” chapter, the Executive Board will focus on the financial and non-financial performance indicators forecasted in this chapter. The Executive Board does not expect any fundamental changes to the strategic focus of finance management in 2022. Forecasted macroeconomic, legal, and industry-specific conditions for 2022 Development of the macroeconomic conditions The coronavirus pandemic and the associated supply bottlenecks will continue to have a considerable influence on the develop- ment of the global economy in the current year. In addition, geopolitical risks and trade conflicts could also disrupt the recovery. Overall, the economic outlook for 2022 is fraught with high levels of uncertainty. The International Monetary Fund expects global growth of 4.4% for the current year. Global trade is expected to increase by around 6.0% in 2022. Supply shortages are likely to dominate the global oil market in the first months of 2022, thereby ensuring a rise in oil prices. The supply situation could ease after that. Geopolitical crises can influence oil price developments in the short term. In addition, it is possible that OPEC will adjust its course in the short term depending on the course of the pandemic. For the US economy, the International Monetary Fund expects an increase of 4.0% for 2022. Japanese GDP is expected to grow to 3.3%. Growth rates in emerging markets are predicted to be clearly higher than the increases in industrialized countries, though projected trends within this group vary. The Chinese economy is expected to show weaker growth of 4.8% compared to the rates of recent years. Overall expectations for the euro area stand at 3.9%. After a dip in growth in the winter of 2021/2022 due to the course of the pandemic and the ongoing supply bottlenecks, the German economy should increasingly recover over the course of the year; based on this, the economic institutes forecast growth of 3.0% to 4.0%. Fraport Annual Report 2021Combined Management Report / Outlook Report Fraport Annual Report 2021 Combined Management Report / Outlook Report 127 129 The following GDP trends are expected in 2022 for countries with significant Group sites: USA 4.0%, Slovenia 4.6%, Brazil 0.3%, Peru 4.6%, Greece 4.6%, Bulgaria 4.4%, Turkey 3.3%, Russia 2.8%, and China 4.8%.

Development of legal conditions At the time the consolidated annual financial statements were prepared, the Executive Board saw no changes in the legal environment in fiscal year 2022 that could have significant effects on the Fraport Group. Development of industry-specific conditions Based on the expected development in general economic conditions and taking into account the financial situation of the airlines, IATA anticipates global passenger growth of 51.0% in 2022 compared to the previous year, based on revenue passenger kilome- ters (RPKs). This would represent a recovery of around 60% compared to the base year 2019. At the regional level, IATA assumes the following year-on-year growth rates based on RPKs: Forecasted Increase Revenue Passenger Kilometers 2022 versus 2021 by Region Changes compared to the previous year in % Europe North America Asia-Pacific Latin America Middle East Africa +66.0 +35.3 +53.9 +46.7 +77.7 +26.9 In terms of global passenger numbers, the ACI projects 51% growth in 2022, corresponding to just under 61% of 2019 volumes. For 2022, the Association of German Airports (ADV) forecasts growth of around 72% in passenger numbers at German airports compared to 2021. This corresponds to a level of around 67% compared to 2019. The economic fallout from the coronavirus pandemic will continue to weigh on global air traffic trends in 2022. High budget deficits around the world due to pandemic countermeasures will presumably result in sustained economic difficulties among almost all of Germany’s major trading partners and could inhibit a rapid recovery in exports. For business travel in particular, corporate cost-cutting measures will continue to restrict travel behavior as they seek to use rail for domestic travel and digital media. In addition, the intensified debate on climate protection will continue. The outlook for the private and holiday travel segment is more positive. Uncertainties in the short term due to the continuing coronavirus pandemic cannot be ruled out. Fraport Annual Report 2021Combined Management Report / Outlook Report 128 130 Konzern-Lagebericht / Prognosebericht Fraport-Geschäftsbericht 2021 Fraport Annual Report 2021 Combined Management Report / Outlook Report 129 Numerous airlines still rely on state aid and private loans due to the coronavirus pandemic. At the same time, the current crisis is accelerating consolidation in the airline market. Both trends could reduce supply and drive up airfares over the medium term. On the other hand, low-cost carriers in particular have once again boosted their aircraft orders, and new airlines have successfully entered the market due to favorable aircraft prices. This could, in turn, give rise to higher air travel supply and lower airfares. Source: IATA “Economic Performance of the Airline Industry” (October 2021), ACI WATF 2021–2040, ADV Outlook (January 2022) Forecasted segment development for 2022 For 2022, the Executive Board anticipates noticeably positive revenue development in all segments. Due to high positive one-off effects in the previous year, such as the compensation of €159.8 million granted by the German Federal Government and the State of Hesse to cover the holding costs incurred during the first lockdown in 2020, EBITDA and EBIT for the Aviation segment are expected to remain approximately at the same level as the previous year. The Executive Board expects EBITDA and EBIT in the Retail & Real Estate and International Activities & Services segments to be clearly positive. For the Ground Handling segment, the Executive Board expects EBITDA to be balanced and EBIT in negative area. Forecasted business development for 2022 Depending on the pandemic situation and regulations in the respective home markets, but also in the respective markets of origin of passengers, the recovery phase at the Group airports varies. Based on current trends and the current market environment, the passenger volume recovery described below is expected for Frankfurt and international Group airports in 2022. In general, a growing willingness to fly among the German population is clearly noticeable. However, the recovery of passenger demand in Frankfurt largely depends on the progress of vaccination or the immunization of the population, potential further virus mutations, political regulations in Germany and the recovery of business travel as well as the markets of Europe, North America, and the Far East of relevance to Fraport. Based on the current demand dynamics, a strong recovery in passenger numbers is likely over the course of 2022. Overall, passenger numbers at Frankfurt Airport in fiscal 2022 are therefore expected to be in the range of 55% to 65% of the level of 2019. This corresponds to a range of around 39 to around 46 million passengers. In general, due to the greater importance of short-haul tourist routes and ethnic traffic compared to business travel, international Group airports are expected to witness a more dynamic recovery in passenger traffic in 2022, broken down as follows: Due to the continuation of the coronavirus pandemic, the Ljubljana site expects over 50% of its 2019 passenger numbers. According to forecasts for the 2022 fiscal year, Group airports Fortaleza and Porto Alegre in Brazil may rebound to approximately 80% of pre-crisis passenger numbers. In contrast, the Lima Airport predicts a passenger volume of around 70% of its 2019 figure. Compared to the passenger numbers from 2019, at least 80% are forecasted for the 14 Greek regional airports. For Xi'an Airport, the number of passengers is expected to return to around 75% of 2019 levels. Forecasted asset and financial position for 2022 Given the continuing uncertain development of the coronavirus pandemic and the ongoing construction activities, especially at the Frankfurt site and in Lima, the Executive Board expects a negative free cash flow roughly at the level of 2021. In addition to the negative free cash flow, the shareholders’ equity base of the newly founded Group company in Antalya will increase the development of net financial debt in the 2022 fiscal year. Thus, the Executive Board predicts an increase in the net financial debt in 2022 to between approximately €7.3 million and €7.5 million. The net financial debt to EBITDA ratio is expected to be in the high single-digit range. Over the current fiscal year, the shareholders’ equity ratio of the Group is expected to fall slightly compared to the previous year. Group liquidity is projected to come out at a slightly lower level than in 2021 in the context of the negative free cash flow, despite plans for comprehensive financial measures. Forecasted non-financial performance indicators for 2022 In the “Customer Satisfaction and Product Quality” category, the Executive Board expects an overall passenger satisfaction score at Frankfurt Airport and a weighted overall satisfaction score for the Group of at least 80% for 2022. Accordingly, the Executive Board has also set a target of 80% for the fully consolidated Group airports. However, this target depends on resumption of regular passenger surveys at the fully consolidated Group airports and the availability of adequate passenger satisfaction data. The Executive Board expects baggage connectivity to be at least 98.5%. In the category “Attractive and responsible employer,” the Group-wide survey of employee satisfaction is being redesigned. Until the employee survey is resumed, pulse checks will be carried out. In doing so, the Executive Board aims to maintain at least the same level of satisfaction at Fraport AG as the previous year. The Executive Board continues to attach great importance to women in management and expects a slight increase in the proportion of women in management positions. Due to the high proportion of Russian passengers at the sites in Varna and Burgas, Antalya and St. Petersburg, the Executive Board decided on March 14, 2022 not to provide a traffic forecast for these Group airports. In the category of “Occupational Health and Safety,” in 2022 the Executive Board will again strive to hold the sickness rate in Germany steady at least at the previous year’s level. Depending on the further course of the war in Ukraine and the coronavirus pandemic, deviations from the forecasts given in this report are possible. In the “Climate Protection” category, the Executive Board expects CO2 emissions for the Group and for Fraport AG in 2022 to be roughly on a par with the previous year. Forecasted results of operations for 2021 Despite continuing uncertainties around the future course of the coronavirus pandemic, the passenger forecast is expected to result in noticeable growth in Group revenue in 2022. The Executive Board therefore expects Group revenue of up to approxi- mately €3.0 billion. This includes approximately €400 million in contract revenue from construction and expansion services based on the application of IFRIC 12. Depending on the ranges of traffic, Group EBITDA is forecasted to be between approximately €760 million and approximately €880 million. Accordingly, Group EBIT is expected to be between €320 million and around €440 million. The forecasts for net income and ROFRA were adjusted on March 14, 2022. Group result are now expected to be between around €50 million and around €150 million. ROFRA is forecast to be slightly below to slightly above the 2021 level. Exchange rate effects from the conversion of the functional currencies of Group companies in Lima, Fortaleza, and Porto Alegre as well as Fraport USA into the Group currency, the euro, may have a generally positive or negative impact on the earnings contribution from Group companies. In the context of the economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic, the Executive Board expects to again forego the distribution of dividends for fiscal 2022.

In addition to the negative free cash flow, the shareholders’ equity base of the newly founded Group company in Antalya will increase the development of net financial debt in the 2022 fiscal year. Thus, the Executive Board predicts an increase in the net financial debt in 2022 to between approximately €7.3 million and €7.5 million. The net financial debt to EBITDA ratio is expected to be in the high single-digit range. Over the current fiscal year, the shareholders’ equity ratio of the Group is expected to fall slightly compared to the previous year.

The capital shares in the subsidiaries directly held by Fraport AG as a parent company do not differ from the proportion of voting rights held. There are no preferred shares in the subsidiaries. 3 Consolidation Principles Capital consolidation of all business combinations follows the purchase method. All identifiable acquired assets and the acquired liabilities, including contingent liabilities, are recorded at fair value on the acqui- sition date. The acquisition costs for company 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 any equity that was previously held and revalued on the acquisition date is higher than the balance of the Fraport Annual Report 2021Group Notes / Notes to the Consolidation and Accounting Policies 148 150 Group Notes / Notes to the Consolidation and Accounting Policies Fraport Annual Report 2021 acquired and revalued identifiable assets and the revalued acquired liabilities. If the comparison results in a lower amount, a net income on acquisition at a price below the fair value is recorded after the assigned values are reviewed. Joint ventures and associated companies are accounted for in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method. Initial measurements of companies accounted for using the equity method are carried out at fair value at the time of acquisition, similarly to capital consolidation for subsidiaries. Subsequent changes in the shareholders’ equity and the updating of the difference from initial valuation change the amount accounted for at equity. Intercompany profits and losses on trade accounts payable between companies included in the consolidated financial statements were minimal. Loans, accounts receivable, and liabilities, contingencies and other contingent liabilities between companies included in the con- solidated 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 shareholders’ equity at the historical exchange rate, whereas, for the purpose of simplification, the expenses and income are translated at 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: Exchange rates Unit/Currency in € 1 US Dollar (US-$) 1 Turkish New Lira (TRY) 1 Renminbi Yuan (CNY) 1 Hong Kong Dollar (HKD) 1 Peruvian Nuevo Sol (PEN) 100 Russian Rubles (RUB) 1 Brazilian Real (BRL) Exchange rate December 31, 2021 Average exchange rate 2021 Exchange rate December 31, 2020 Average exchange rate 2020 0.8835 0.0661 0.1391 0.1133 0.2214 1.1768 0.1586 0.8455 0.0951 0.1311 0.1088 0.2179 1.1474 0.1568 0.8148 0.1097 0.1253 0.1051 0.2251 1.0898 0.1569 0.8755 0.1242 0.1270 0.1129 0.2504 1.2088 0.1697 Business transactions in foreign currencies are accounted at the exchange rate on the date of the business transaction. Meas- urement of the resulting assets and liabilities that are nominally bound in the foreign currency as at the balance sheet date takes place at the exchange rate as at the balance sheet date. Translation differences are generally recorded through profit or loss. 4 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. Particular exceptions include financial assets available for sale and derivative financial instruments. The following overview contains a summary of the valuation methods for items in the statement of financial position.

The timing and amount of the revenue to be recognized is determined according to the following five-step process: > Identification of the contract/s with a customer, > Identification of the independent performance obligations, > Determination of the transaction price, > Distribution of the transaction price to the individual performance obligations, > Revenue recognition upon fulfillment of the performance obligations. Income and expenses from the same transactions and/or events are recognized in the same period. In the Fraport Group, revenue is divided into the following types: The Aviation segment includes, in particular, revenue from airport charges, which are based on a regulation approved by HMWEVW (see note 49), as well as from security services at the Frankfurt site. The airport charges are for the takeoffs, landings (including noise and emission), and parking of aircraft as well as for the use of passenger facilities. Security services refer to services for passenger, baggage, and cargo inspections on behalf of the German Federal Ministry of the Interior (BMI). The performance obligations in the Aviation segment are usually fulfilled within one day and recognized accordingly. In the Retail & Real Estate segment, revenue is divided into the areas of real estate, retail, and parking. Real estate revenue relates to leasing of buildings at Frankfurt Airport. In addition, Fraport AG offers various services in the area of real estate management for third parties. These range from the development and marketing of real estate management to energy management. Revenue in the retail sector is divided into the categories of shopping, advertising, and services and primarily results from revenue from the rental of retail and service areas as well as the marketing of advertising space. The area of parking includes, in particular, revenue from the leasing of parking spaces at various parking facilities. As a general rule, revenue from leasing and all other services is recognized using the straight-line method over the term of the lease or for a fixed term. In contrast, for disposals of real estate inventories, revenue is recognized at the time of transfer of control to the buyer.

The apron services are responsible for carrying out loading and transport services. This includes, among other things, the trans- portation of passengers, baggage, and cargo as well as the loading and unloading of aircraft. In addition, the handling of freight includes, among other things, the landside processing of air freight and mail as well as freight documentation. The infrastructure charges include, in particular, charges for providing the central infrastructure, such as the central baggage transfer system, at the Frankfurt site. The performance obligations in the Ground Handling segment are usually fulfilled within one day and recognized accordingly. The International Activities & Services segment includes the operation, maintenance, development, and expansion of airports and infrastructure facilities in Germany and abroad. These services also encompass consulting services and customized solutions to the challenges of airport management (so-called ORAT services – operational readiness and airport transfer). The services of the foreign investments essentially correspond to those described for the Aviation, Retail & Real Estate, and Ground Handling seg- ments. In addition, revenue in the segment includes contract revenue from construction and expansion services related to airport operating projects abroad which are being carried out in line with the respective progress in each construction project. The ac- counting treatment follows IFRIC 12. In general, the payment terms are set depending on the type of revenue. The payment terms are typically between 0 and 40 days. Interest income is recorded using the effective interest rate method. Goodwill After the initial recognition of goodwill acquired in the course of a business merger, it is measured at acquisition costs less any cumulative 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 since the acquisition date. 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. Essentially, in the Fraport Group the value in use based on a company valuation model (discounted cash flow method) is used to calculate the recoverable amount. All goodwill items are tested for impairment at least once a year in December in accordance with IAS 36.88 – 99. In the event 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 operation of airports in Greece, Varna and Burgas (Bulgaria), Lima (Peru), and Fortaleza and Porto Alegre (Brazil) acquired within the scope of service concession agreements (see also note 49). The concession agreements for the operation of the airports fall under the application of IFRIC 12.17 and are recognized according to the intangible asset model, since Fraport receives the right in each case to impose a charge on airport users 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 contractually fixed in amount, 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 operating projects. The rights received as consideration for construction and expansion services are recognized at the cost of production for the period in which the production costs are incurred. Revenue and expenses from construction and expansion services are generally recorded pursuant to IFRIC 12.14 and in accordance with IFRS 15. Borrowing costs are capitalized as part of the costs of acquisition if the requirements (see “Borrowing costs”) are fulfilled. Provisions for maintenance measures are formed if maintenance obligations of specified amounts arise from the concession agreements. Costs for ongoing, scheduled maintenance measures are therefore recognized as current expenses of the period. 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 amorti- zation over the term of the concessions. Impairment losses are recognized in accordance with IAS 36, where necessary. Other 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 recog- nized, 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. Development costs for internally generated intangible assets are capitalized at manufacturing cost when it is probable that the manufacture of these assets will generate future economic benefits for the company and the costs can be measured reliably. The manufacturing costs cover all costs directly attributable to the manufacturing process. If the conditions for capitalization are not met, the expenses are recognized in the income statement in the year in which they are incurred. Internally generated intangible assets are amortized over their useful lives using the straight-line method. Borrowing costs of other intangible assets that constitute qualifying assets are recognized (see “Borrowing costs”). 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 pursuant 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 loss had been recognized in the past. Subsequent acquisition costs are capitalized. Production costs essentially include all direct costs including appropriate overheads. Borrowing costs of property, plant, and equipment that constitute qualify- ing 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 depreciation 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 capitalized (see “Borrowing costs”).

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 capitalized (see “Borrowing costs”). Fraport Annual Report 2021Group Notes / Notes to the Consolidation and Accounting Policies 152 154 Group Notes / Notes to the Consolidation and Accounting Policies Fraport Annual Report 2021 Borrowing costs Borrowing costs (IAS 23) that relate to the acquisition, construction, or production of a qualifying asset are required to be capital- ized as part of the acquisition/production cost of such assets. At Fraport AG, the planned investment measures form the basis for determining the qualifying assets. If the volume of the planned measures at Fraport AG 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. Each Group company defines its own individual criteria for what constitutes the presence of qualifying assets. Borrowing costs include interest, ancillary costs associated with debt capital, financing charges in respect of finance leases, and currency differences. Regular depreciation and amortization Regular depreciation and amortization is carried out on the basis of estimated useful technical and economic life. It takes place fundamentally on a Group-wide basis according to the straight-line method. The data on expected useful life also includes the useful lifespans of individual components. The following useful lifespans are taken as a basis: Regular depreciation and amortization In years Investments in airport operating projects Other concession and operator rights Software and other intangible assets Buildings (structural sections) Technical buildings Building equipment Ground equipment Flight operating areas Takeoff/landing runways Aprons Taxiway bridges Taxiways Other technical equipment and machinery Vehicles (including special vehicles) Other equipment, operating, and office equipment 25-50 10-39 1-30 7-80 20-40 12-38 5-99 7-99 20-99 80 20-99 1-33 1-20 1-25 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 pursuant to IAS 36 Impairment losses on assets are recognized pursuant to IAS 36. Assets are tested for impairment if there are indications of an impairment loss. An impairment test is carried out annually for existing goodwill. Impairment losses are recorded if 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. Since it is not generally possible in the Fraport Group to allocate cash flows to individual assets, cash-generating units are formed and the existing goodwill is allocated to them. A cash-generating unit is defined as the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates separate cash inflows and outflows. Fraport Annual Report 2021Group Notes / Notes to the Consolidation and Accounting Policies Fraport Annual Report 2021 Group Notes / Notes to the Consolidation and Accounting Policies 153 155 Regardless of indicators for possible impairment losses, assets are subject to an annual impairment test pursuant to IAS 36. Generally, the value in use is calculated as the recoverable amount. The value in use is determined by the entity through applica- tion of the discounted cash flow method. 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 2022 to 2026 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 up to 2030 or over the respective contractual periods in the case of investments in airport operating projects and other concession and operator rights. These forecasts are based on past experience and the expected market performance, which is based on external studies and internal forecasts. A growth rate of between 1.0% and 2.0% (previous year: 1.0% to 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) after taxes of between 4.6% and 12.7% (previous year: 4.6% to 10.8%). In particular, due to the significant deterioration in the market environment in 2021 as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic and the resulting negative impact on the earnings forecast for the subsequent years, Fraport assessed the impairment of non-current assets of the Group companies in accordance with IAS 36.12 and IAS 36.13. The forecasts presented in the outlook on the recovery of traffic figures at the Frankfurt site to the levels before the pandemic by 2026 correspond to the base scenario of our planning and have been incorporated into the calculations of the impairment tests. Due to the increased uncertainties in planning given the Covid-19 pandemic, sensitivity analyses were carried out for all cash- generating units. As a general rule, the impairment of all units was assessed at a higher WACC by 0.5%-points and with a reduc- tion in the growth rate by 0.5%-points over the entire planning period. The value could still be determined even after the parameters had been adjusted. For Fraport AG’s airport operations CGU, the 0.5 percentage point increase in the capitalization interest rate results in an impairment requirement for airport operations that is just under the triple-digit million range. The impairment was confirmed in all other sensitivity scenarios. In addition, further sensitivity assessments were carried out for Fraport AG’s main central cash-generating airport operations unit, adjusting the main planning assumptions, annual passenger numbers and airport charges. The passenger numbers are highly dependent on the further developments in the pandemic and therefore constitute a planning parameter clouded with uncertainty. As part of the planning process, different scenarios for passenger numbers were developed. These have been weighted in the additional sensitivity analysis. Taking into account an average passenger decrease of 3% compared to the adopted forecasts and the associated adjustment of variable costs, the impairment of non-current assets remains in effect. However, the remaining coverage shows a significant decrease of 62%. In one scenario, the planned increases in future airport charges were halved. This resulted in a significant decrease in coverage of 80%. The combination of both scenarios results in an impairment requirement in the mid-triple-digit million range. Another significant influence on the company’s value is the value added of the perpetual pension. Therefore, the impairment in the base scenario was verified to ensure it is even with a reduced growth rate of the perpetual annuity of 0.5%. The impairment was confirmed even with reduced growth in the perpetual annuity. Leases The Fraport Group has recognized right-of-use assets and liabilities for leases in which the Fraport Group is the lessee in the amount of the present value of the payment obligations entered into. Right-of-use assets are recognized if the leasing contract entitles the user to control the use of an identified asset against payment of a fee for a certain period of time. The right-of-use assets are shown under property, plant and equipment. The lease liabilities are shown under other liabilities. Lease liabilities include fixed lease payments less lease incentives to be provided by the lessor, variable payments that are linked to an index or interest rate, expected residual value payments from residual value guarantees, the exercise price of a purchase option if the exercise was deemed to be reasonably certain, and contractual penalties for those termination of the lease if it is considered in Fraport Annual Report 2021Group Notes / Notes to the Consolidation and Accounting Policies 154 156 Group Notes / Notes to the Consolidation and Accounting Policies Fraport Annual Report 2021 the term that a termination option will be used. Lease payments are discounted at the interest rate that the lease is implicitly based on, if the lessor provided that interest rate. Otherwise, discounting is carried out using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate. This is derived from country-specific, risk-free debt financing interest rates with matching currencies and maturities. The right-of- use assets are measured at acquisition costs, which consist of the present value of the lease liability and initial direct costs as well as dismantling obligations and leasing payments received before or upon provision, less leasing incentives received. The subsequent measurement is carried out at amortized cost. Right-of-use assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. If leasing agreements contain extension or termination options, all facts and circumstances are taken into account for the determination of the contract term that offer an economic incentive to exercise extension options or not to exercise such options. The term will only be adjusted if the exercise or non-exercise of such options is reasonably certain. Taking into account the principle of materiality (IAS 1 in conjunction with IFRS 16.BC86), right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are accounted for exclusively for real estate leasing contracts. Payments from leasing contracts for operating and office equipment as well as technical systems and machines are recorded as expenses in the same way as previous operating lease contracts. Furthermore, the regulations of IFRS 16 are not applied to intangible assets. The future minimum lease payments arising from the existing lease contracts for operating and office equipment and technical systems and machines are specified in note 46. If an entity of the Fraport Group acts as a lessor and the contract will be classified as an operating lease, the leased property is shown in property, plant and equipment at amortized cost. Rental income is generally recorded on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract. If an entity of the Fraport Group acts as a lessor and the contract will be classified as finance lease, the Fraport Group recognizes the lease object in its balance sheet when a finance lease exists and shows it as a receivable in the amount equal to the net investment in the lease. Investments in companies accounted for using the equity method Investments in joint ventures and associated companies are recognized at the pro rata share of equity, including goodwill. Impair- ment losses are recorded if the recoverable amount is lower than the carrying amount. The investments are tested for impairment annually. Other financial assets Other financial assets include securities, loans 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 transferred, plus transaction costs. Non-current low-interest or interest-free loans are recognized at their present value. Other financial assets with a remaining term of up to one year are reported as current. The recognition and subsequent valuation is based on the cash flow characteristics and of the business models according to which they are managed. A classification at amortized acquisition costs occurs when both of the following conditions are met: > The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows, and > The contractual terms and conditions lead to cash flows that only represent solely payments of principal and interest. The loans are valued at amortized acquisition costs using the effective interest method. Fraport Annual Report 2021Group Notes / Notes to the Consolidation and Accounting Policies Fraport Annual Report 2021 Group Notes / Notes to the Consolidation and Accounting Policies 155 157 The valuation as fair value other comprehensive income with recycling (FVOCI with recycling) is applied if the following conditions are met: > The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to achieved by both holding financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and selling financial assets, and > The contractual terms and conditions lead to cash flows that only represent solely payments of principal and interest. FVOCI with Recycling applied to securities. Value changes are recognized in other result, and if there is an early sale, profit or loss from shareholders’ equity are recycled with an effect on the income statement. For other investments, the FVOCI option was exercised for strategic reasons. The fair value changes are recorded under other result. The profit and loss recorded in other result are not recycled with an effect on the income statement and no impairment losses are recognized in the income statement (FVOCI without recycling). When deciding whether a contractual amendment leads to a disposal of a financial asset, quantitative and qualitative criteria are taken into account. Trade accounts receivable, other financial and non-financial receivables and assets Trade accounts receivable and other financial and non-financial receivables and assets are recognized on the settlement date, i.e., at the time the asset is created or economic ownership is transferred, at fair value plus transaction costs. Trade accounts receivable, other financial and non-financial receivables and assets, and receivables from banks with a remaining term of less than one year are reported as current. Trade accounts receivable, accounts receivable from banks, and all other financial receivables with fixed or ascertainable payments are held to “collect cash flows” and have “cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest”. Subsequent measurement is carried out at amortized cost of acquisition, based on the effective interest method. Receivables in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Assistance received from government In principle, public contributions (IAS 20) are only recognized if there is reasonable assurance that the conditions attached to them are met and that the contributions are granted. Contributions related to income are deducted from these expenses in the period in which the corresponding expenses are incurred. Entitlements to contributions for which sufficient security is in place are reported under other non-financial assets. Given the sharp decline in traffic due to the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, short-time work schedules were introduced for a large part of the employees at the Frankfurt site. The contributions received were recognized in personnel expenses as a reduction in expenses and the existing entitlements were reported under other non-financial assets. Impairment losses of financial assets In general, impairment losses are recognized through profit or loss by directly reducing the carrying amount of the financial asset. The impairment provisions are applied to the following assets: > financial assets in the form of debt instruments that are measured at amortized costs, such as trade accounts receivables, loans to associated companies and bank balances and deposits > financial assets in the form of debt instruments that are measured at fair value without affecting profit or loss Fraport Annual Report 2021Group Notes / Notes to the Consolidation and Accounting Policies 156 158 Group Notes / Notes to the Consolidation and Accounting Policies Fraport Annual Report 2021 On each balance sheet date, the carrying amounts of the aforementioned financial assets that are measured at amortized costs or at the fair value without affecting profit or loss are assessed to see whether there is any objective evidence (such as consider- able financial difficulties of the debtor, high probability of insolvency proceedings against the debtor, or a permanent decline of the fair value below amortized cost) that the asset may be impaired. The assessment takes place by considering forward-looking, macro-economic information on whether the credit risk has significantly increased (or decreased). The assessment of whether there is a significant increase or decrease in credit risk is relevant for whether loan defaults must be calculated over the next 12 months or over the entire term. The assessment is carried out on the basis of the change in credit risk during the expected term of the financial instrument. For trade accounts receivable, a risk provision is recorded on a collective basis in the amount of the expected payment defaults over the entire term of the receivables. The determination of the expected payment defaults are based on historical information on payment defaults and qualitative insights into possible future defaults. The available probability of default of the respective counterparty, taking into account insolvency rates, taken from external sources, are used to calculate the expected credit loss for financial assets in the general approach and for securities. A risk provision is calculated taking into account the general materiality guidelines according to IAS 1. Changes are recognized in the amount of the required risk provisions as a write-up or impairment. If an already impaired receivable is individually designated as non-recoverable, the asset is derecognized. Inventories Inventories include work-in-process, raw materials, consumables, supplies, and property held for sale within the ordinary course of business. Work-in-process, 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. 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 year under review, 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, and discounted over the planned selling period. External reports on the fair value of the land being sold, as well as information about previous land sales, form the basis for the calculation of the estimated selling price. Where the inventories constitute qualifying assets, the borrowing costs are capitalized. If a write-down made in previous periods is no longer necessary, a write-up is recognized. Fraport Annual Report 2021Group Notes / Notes to the Consolidation and Accounting Policies Fraport Annual Report 2021 Group Notes / Notes to the Consolidation and Accounting Policies 157 159 Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents basically include cash, cash accounts, and short-term cash deposits (including restricted cash) with banks maturing in three months or less. Cash deposits with banks 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 short notice 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. Non-current assets held for sale Non-current assets held for sale are recognized at either the carrying amount or at fair value less costs to sell, whichever is the lower amount. Accounting of taxes on income Taxes on income are recognized using the liability method pursuant to IAS 12. All tax expenses and refunds directly related to income are recorded as taxes on income. These also include withholding taxes and penalties. Interest accrued based on subse- quently assessed taxes are recorded as an interest expense. Current taxes are recognized on the date when the liability for taxes on income is incurred. Deferred taxes are recognized pursuant 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, utilizable loss and interest 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 straight-line basis), and if the difference is temporary, a deferred tax liability is recognized. Pursuant to the IFRS, deferred tax assets are recognized from financial position differences and for carry-forwards of unused tax losses, 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 legislative 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 shareholders’ equity without affecting profit or loss, the change to deferred taxes is also included directly in shareholders’ equity without affecting profit or loss. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are netted insofar as these income 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. No deferred tax liabilities are recognized for temporary differences in connection with shares in subsidiaries if Fraport can control the timing of the reversal and it is not expected that these differences will reverse in the foreseeable future. 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 0.90% (previous year: 0.40%). 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. Re-measurements resulting from the change in the interest rate or from the difference between actual and computed income from plan assets, for example, are recognized in other comprehensive income (OCI) as non-reclassifiable. Fraport Annual Report 2021Group Notes / Notes to the Consolidation and Accounting Policies 158 160 Group Notes / Notes to the Consolidation and Accounting Policies Fraport Annual Report 2021 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 obligations. 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 pension provisions. 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 retirement pensions are valued in accordance with the Act on Adjustments to Compen- sation and Retirement in Hesse as amended. The calculation of provisions for pensions was based on the 2018G mortality tables by Professor Heubeck. The service cost and net interest are recognized in personnel expenses. With regard to the description of the various plans, see note 38. Provisions for taxes Provisions for current taxes are recognized for tax expected to be payable in the year under review and/or previous years taking into account anticipated risks. Other provisions Provisions represent liabilities that are uncertain with regard to amount and/or maturity. Other provisions are recognized in the amount required to settle the obligations. The amount recognized represents the most probable value. Provisions 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 toward 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. This especially applies to the provisions for passive noise abatement, which are discounted over a period until 2023 and according to the expected cash outflow dates of matching interest rates up to –0.61% (previous year: up to –0.59%). The provision for partial retirement is recognized pursuant to IAS 19. 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 on a pro rata basis. The utilization begins with the passive phase. Contingent liabilities Contingent liabilities are possible liabilities that are based on past events, and the existence of which is only confirmed by the occurrence of one or more indeterminate future events that are nonetheless beyond Fraport’s control. Furthermore, current obli- gations may constitute contingent liabilities if the probability of the outflow of resources is not sufficient for a liability to be recognized, or if the extent of the liability cannot be reliably estimated. Contingent liabilities are not recorded in the financial position, but rather shown in the notes. Fraport Annual Report 2021Group Notes / Notes to the Consolidation and Accounting Policies Fraport Annual Report 2021 Group Notes / Notes to the Consolidation and Accounting Policies 159 161 Liabilities Financial liabilities, trade accounts payable, and other financial and non-financial liabilities are recorded at their fair value less possible transaction costs upon initial recognition. For current liabilities, this corresponds generally to the nominal value. Non-current low-interest or non-interest-bearing liabilities are carried at their present value at the time of addition less possible transaction costs. Liabilities in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Subsequent measurement of financial liabilities is based on the effective interest method at amortized acquisition cost. Each difference between the refund amount and the repayment amount is recorded in the income statement over the term of the contract in question using the effective interest method. 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 are measured at fair value in accordance with IFRS 9. Positive market values are recognized as other financial assets; negative market values as other financial liabilities. Effective changes of value on cash flow hedges are recorded in shareholders’ equity 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 recorded 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 under other financial result. If the criteria for a cash flow hedge are not no longer met, the hedge accounting is released. In this case, the changes in the fair value and the related deferred taxes are recognized in the income statement (FVTPL). The fair value changes are recorded under “financial result on other items”. Derivative financial instruments are recognized at the trading date. Treasury shares Repurchased treasury shares are deducted from the issued capital and the capital reserve. Stock options The value of the remuneration within the scope of the annual employee investment plan is not based on the performance of the shares, which means that the employee investment plan does not fall within the scope of application of IFRS 2. Virtual stock options Virtual stock options (“Long-Term Incentive Program”) have been issued since January 1, 2010 as part of the remuneration for the Executive Board and Senior Managers. As of January 1, 2020, virtual performance shares (“Performance Share Plan”) have been allocated to the Executive Board and senior employees. They are paid out in cash immediately at the end of the performance period of four years. The measurement of virtual shares respectively performance shares is at fair value pursuant to IFRS 2. Up to the end of the performance period, the fair value is re-determined on each reporting date and on the date of performance and is recorded in personnel expenses on a pro rata basis. Judgment and uncertainty of estimates 160 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. The assumptions and estimates made by the management in Fraport Annual Report 2021 Group Notes / Notes to the Consolidation and Accounting Policies drawing up the consolidated financial statements are based on the circumstances and assessments on the balance sheet date. Although the management assumes that the assumptions and estimates applied are reasonable, there may be unforeseen changes in these assumptions that could affect the Group’s asset, financial, and earnings position. Balance sheet items for which assumptions and estimates have a significant effect on the reported carrying amount are shown below. Property, plant, and equipment Experience, planning, and estimates play a crucial role in determining the useful life of property, plant, and equipment. Carrying amounts and useful lifespans are checked on each reporting date and adjusted as required. Other financial assets The valuation of loans included in the other financial assets is based in part on cash flow forecasts. Receivables from contracts with customers The determination of the expected payment defaults over the overall term of the receivables depends, among other things, on the assessment of qualitative insights into possible future defaults. Taxes on income Fraport is subject to taxation in various countries. In assessing global income tax receivables and liabilities, estimates sometimes need to be made. The possibility cannot be ruled out that the tax authorities will come to a different tax assessment. The associated uncertainty is accounted for by recognizing uncertain tax receivables and liabilities when they are considered by Fraport to have a probability of occurrence of more than 50%. A change to the assessment, for example, as a result of final tax assessments, will have an effect on current and deferred tax items. For uncertain income tax items that have been recognized, the expected tax payment is used as a basis for the best estimate. 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. Provisions for pensions and similar obligations as trend factors (see also note 38). Other provisions Material valuation parameters for the valuation of provisions for pensions and similar obligations are the discount factor as well The valuation of the other provisions is subject to uncertainty with regard to estimations of amount and the time of occurrence of future cash outflows. As a result, changes in the assumptions on which the valuation is based could have a material impact on the asset, financial, and earnings position of the Fraport Group. In connection with legal disputes, Fraport draws on information and estimates provided by the Legal Affairs department and any mandated external lawyers when assessing a possible obligation to recognize provisions and when valuing potential outflows of resources. The existing provisions for passive noise abatement as at December 31, 2021 and wake turbulences are substantially dependent with regard to their amounts on the utilization of the underlying programs by the eligible beneficiaries. The existing provisions for compensation in accordance with nature protection laws as at December 31, 2021 are dependent with regard to their amount on the extent and time of implementation of the envi- ronmental compensation measures. For further information on significant provisions, please refer to Note 40. The contingent liabilities are subject to uncertainty with respect to estimations of their amounts and, in particular, the timing of cash outflows. The time of the expected cash outflow is specified if it can be determined sufficiently reliably. Contingent liabilities Company acquisitions When an acquired company is consolidated for the first time, all identifiable assets, liabilities, and contingent liabilities must be recognized at their fair value at the time of acquisition. One of the main estimates relates to the determination 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 actual cash flows may differ significantly from the cash flows used as a basis for determining the fair values.

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 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 position. Specific estimates or assumptions for individual accounting and valuation methods are explained in the relevant section. These are based on the circumstances and estimates on the balance sheet date, and in this respect also affect the amount of the reported income and expense amounts of the fiscal years shown. New standards, interpretations, and changes Of the new standards, interpretations and changes, Fraport generally applies those for which application was mandatory; i.e. those applicable to fiscal years beginning on or before January 1, 2021. On August 27, 2020, the IASB adopted amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4, and IFRS 16 related to the reform of reference interest rates (IBOR reform). With regard to the change in contractual cash flows, it has been clarified that in such cases the carrying amount of the financial instruments is not to be adjusted or derecognized. In addition, due to the exemptions in connection with the accounting of hedge relationships that are directly affected by the IBOR reform, the continuation of the hedge relationship remains possible for the most part. The amendments were adopted under EU law on January 13, 2021, and must be applied to fiscal years starting on or after January 1, 2021. Earlier application was permitted. The amendments did not have a substantial impact on the reporting of the asset, financial, and earnings position of the Fraport Group. On March 31, 2021, the IASB extended the period in which amendments to the IFRS 16 “Leases” shall apply. The exemption provisions for COVID-19-related rental concessions now apply to payments due by June 30, 2022 (previously June 30, 2021). On August 30, 2021, the period of application of the IFRS 16 amendments was adopted under EU law. The effects of applying the amendments to IFRS 16 are presented in the explanations set out in “Significant accounting and measurement effects in connec- tion with the coronavirus pandemic” (see note 1). 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, the Fraport Group is currently working on implementing the requirements for initial application. Early application is not planned. At this point in time, Fraport expects the effects on the consolidated financial statements described below. Standards, interpretations, and amendments published and adopted into European law by the European Commission On May 14, 2020, the IASB published amendments to several IFRS standards. The amendments relate to the following standards: IFRS 3 “Business Combinations” – Reference to the Conceptual Framework; IAS 16 “Property, plant, and equipment” – Proceeds before Intended Use. The amendment specifies that proceeds earned during the period in which an item of property, plant, and equipment is brought to the site and a condition necessary for it to be capable of operating is created may be deducted from the cost of acquisition or production. In addition, amendments were made in connection with IAS 37 “Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets” – Onerous Contracts, Cost of Fulfilling a Contract. According to this amendment, when assessing whether contracts will be unprofitable, both the costs directly related to the contract and costs which would not be incurred without the contract must be taken into account. In addition, the annual “Improvements to IFRS 2018–2020” were published with minor changes to IFRS 1, IFRS 9, IFRS 16, and IAS 41. All the amendments will enter into effect on January 1, 2022, each with different transitional provisions. The amendments were adopted under EU law on July 2, 2021, and must be applied to fiscal years starting on or after January 1, 2022. None of the amendments are expected to have a substantial impact on the reporting of the asset, financial, and earnings position of the Fraport Group in future. Fraport Annual Report 2021Group Notes / Notes to the Consolidation and Accounting Policies 162 164 Group Notes / Notes to the Consolidation and Accounting Policies Fraport Annual Report 2021 Standards, interpretations, and amendments that have been published, but not yet adopted into European law by the European Commission On January 23, 2020, the IASB published changes to IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements” regarding the classification of liabilities as current or non-current. Liabilities must be reported as non-current if, at the end of the reporting period, the company has a substantial right to defer the settlement of the debt by at least twelve months after the balance sheet date. On July 15, 2020, the IASB postponed the initial application of the amendments to IAS 1 to January 1, 2022. The amendments must be applied from January 1, 2023. An earlier application is permitted, but this requires EU endorsement. The effects of the application of the new classification of liabilities as current or non-current are currently being analyzed for the reporting of the asset, financial, and earnings position of the Fraport Group. On February 12, 2021, the IASB adopted amendments to IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements” and IAS 8 “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors”. The amendments to IAS 1 aim to improve the quality of financial reporting by requiring disclosures to be made only on material and no longer on significant accounting policies. Accounting policies are considered to be material when they are necessary in order to understand other material information in the financial statements. This is likely to apply to accounting policies that relate to significant business activities, transactions and other material events in the company. The amendments to IAS 8 concern the definition of accounting estimates. They contain clarifications to better distinguish between accounting policies and accounting estimates. Both amendments must be applied to fiscal years starting on or after January 1, 2023. Earlier application of the amendments is permitted, subject to endorsement. The effects of the application of the amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 are currently being studied for the reporting of the asset, financial, and earnings position of the Fraport Group. On May 7, 2021, the IASB published amendments to IAS 12 “Income Taxes”. The current prohibition on recognizing deferred taxes on initial recognition of an asset or liability should no longer apply to transactions that give rise to equal amounts of deductible and taxable temporary differences. The exemption applies for narrowly defined cases, for example in the case of leases, and disposal or dismantling obligations. If deductible and taxable temporary differences arise in the same amount, both deferred tax assets and liabilities must be recognized. The amendments must be applied for reporting periods from January 1, 2023. An earlier application is permitted, but this requires EU endorsement. The effects of the application of the amendments to IAS 12 are currently being studied for the reporting of the asset, financial, and earnings position of the Fraport Group.

Information on revenue can be found in the management report under the chapter “Results of Operations” as well as the segment reporting (see note 42). The Retail & Real Estate segment includes income from operating leases from renting terminal areas, offices, buildings, and properties. No purchase options have been agreed upon. When renting retail space, either minimum rents or variable, revenue- related rents apply, depending on the occurrence of contractually defined conditions. Predominantly variable rents are agreed for these areas. Overall, during the fiscal year, revenue-related rent of €56.9 million (previous year: €55.5 million) was realized. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the conditions were adjusted as in the previous year, which provides for a temporary reduction in the minimum leases. The underlying lease contracts in the Retail section for fiscal year 2021 contain contractually agreed minimum lease payments of €16.6 million (previous year: €30.9 million). Properties were predominantly rented in the form of assigned hereditary building rights. On the reporting date, the remaining term of hereditary building rights contracts is 43 years on average (previous year: 44 years). The acquisition and production costs of the leased buildings and land amount to €522.4 million (previous year: €487.2 million). Cumulative depreciation and amortization came to €375.6 million (previous year: €370.4 million), of which depreciation and amortization amounted to €4.8 million for the fiscal year (previous year: €5.2 million). Revenue in the International Activities & Services segment is allocated to the Aviation and Non-Aviation sections as well as contract revenue from construction and expansion services related to airport operating projects. The Aviation revenue includes revenue, in particular, from airport charges as well as security services (€316.6 million; previous year: €174.5 million). Revenue in the Non-Aviation section was €171.7 million (previous year: €123.3 million), resulting from retail and real estate activities as well as parking. In addition, €58.8 million (previous year: €41.3 million) was attributable to infrastructure charges and ground handling services. Contract revenue from construction and expansion services related to airport operating projects in the amount of €241.7 million (previous year: €224.5 million) was attributed to Lima (€190.3 million; previous year: €95.7 million), Greece (€29.9 million; previous year: €79.5 million) as well as Fortaleza and Porto Alegre (€21.5 million; previous year: €49.3 million).

The tax expenses include corporation and trade income taxes, the solidarity surcharge of the companies in Germany, and comparable taxes on income of the foreign companies. The effective 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 valued 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, just as in the previous year. Deferred taxes are recognized for all temporary differences between the tax and IFRS financial statements, for utilizable carry- forwards of unused tax losses, as well as for carry-forwards of tax-deductible interest. The probability of the future use of the losses carried forward is decisive for the evaluation of the recoverability of deferred tax assets and interest. This depends on whether future taxable profits will be available in the periods in which the carry-forward of unused tax losses and interest can be utilized. As at December 31, 2021, based on current information, the Fraport Group had non-utilizable trade tax losses carried forward of €5.3 million and corporation tax losses carried forward of €0.5 million attributable to taxes (previous year: €20.6 million related to trade taxes and €16.3 million to corporation taxes). The loss carryforwards that are not expected to be utilized result from Fraport Fraport Annual Report 2021Group Notes / Notes to the Consolidated Income Statement Fraport Annual Report 2021 Group Notes / Notes to the Consolidated Income Statement 169 171 Immobilienservice und -entwicklungs GmbH & Co. KG and FraSec Fraport Security Services GmbH and can be carried forward indefinitely. The Fraport Group has utilizable loss carryforwards in Germany of €613.2 million (corporation taxes; previous year: €725.5 million) and €679.8 million (trade taxes; previous year: €746.0 million) as well as utilizable losses carried forward aboard of €23.0 million (previous year: €85.6 million). As at December 31, 2021, based on current information, the Fraport Group had utilizable carry-forwards of tax-deductible interest of €184.6 million (previous year: €129.7 million), which are exclusively attributed to Fraport Greece A and the Fraport Greece B. For temporary differences in connection with shares in subsidiaries amounting to €529.6 million (previous year: €439.4 million), no deferred tax liabilities were recognized, as Fraport can control the timing of the reversal and it is not expected that these differences will reverse in the foreseeable future. These potential 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. In addition, deferred taxes result from consolidation measures. Pursuant to IAS 12, no deferred tax is recognized in the context of initial consolidation with respect to goodwill capitalized or any impairment losses of goodwill. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are netted insofar as these income 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. Deferred taxes resulting from temporary differences between tax financial valuation and assets/liabilities accounted according to IFRS are assigned to the following financial position items: Allocation of deferred taxes € million Investments in airport operating projects Other intangible assets Property, plant, and equipment Financial assets Accounts receivable and other assets Provisions for pensions Other provisions Liabilities Financial derivatives Losses and interest carried forward Total separate financial statements Offsetting Consolidation measures Consolidated Statement of Financial Position Deferred tax assets 2021 Deferred tax liabilities Deferred tax assets 2020 Deferred tax liabilities 9.7 0.0 2.7 1.4 6.5 8.8 51.9 232.4 1.1 249.5 564.0 –384.4 3.0 182.6 –116.4 –15.1 –270.7 0.0 –0.3 0.0 –0.9 0.0 –0.3 0.0 –403.7 384.4 –18.4 –37.7 5.5 0.0 0.0 0.0 6.7 9.8 45.9 252.6 2.2 282.4 605.1 –431.4 2.1 175.8 –125.3 –14.6 –308.3 –1.6 –0.5 0.0 –0.2 0.0 –1.5 0.0 –452.0 431.4 –19.1 –39.7 The vast majority of the deferred tax assets and liabilities result from non-current assets (investments in airport operating projects, other intangible assets, property, plant, and equipment) and non-current liabilities (primarily concession liabilities), as well as utilizable losses and interest carried forward. Over the fiscal year, equity-decreasing deferred taxes of €0.4 million (previous year: €0.1 million) from the change in the fair values of financial derivatives and securities were recognized directly in shareholders’ equity without affecting profit or loss. Further equity-decreasing deferred taxes resulted primarily from the revaluation of defined benefit plans to the value of €2.0 million (previous year: equity-increasing deferred taxes to the value of €1.8 million).

With a weighted average number of 92,391,339 shares in the 2021 fiscal year, the basic earnings per €10 share amounted to €0.90. As a result of the rights granted to employees to buy shares (authorized capital) within the scope of the employee investment plan, the diluted number of shares amounts to 92,741,339 (weighted average) and the diluted earnings per €10 share are therefore €0.89.

The reported average revenue growth is adjusted for the recovery effect and reflects the average growth for the years 2026 to 2053. Over the entire forecast period, the average revenue growth is 6.8%. The parameters used within the scope of the impairment tests are based on the current plan approved by the Executive Board. This takes account of internal empirical values and external economic framework data. The revenue forecasts used to determine growth assumptions are based, in particular, on expected air traffic trends derived from external market forecasts. A variation in the discount rate of +0.5 percentage points or growth forecasts of –0.5 percentage points will not affect the recov- erability of the reported goodwill. The planning period on which the impairment test for Fraport Slovenija is based corresponds to the term of the right derived from a long-term land use contract to operate the airport in Ljubljana. 18 Investments in Airport Operating Projects Investments in Airport Operating Projects € million December 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Investments in airport operating projects 3,416.4 3,221.2 Investments in airport operating projects relate to concession rights, which comprise the following items due to the application of IFRIC 12 (see also note 4 and note 49): the initial payment and capitalized minimum concession payments of €1,889.6 million (previous year: €1,938.1 million) as well as capital expenditure of €1,507.4 million (previous year: €1,248.4 million) and prepay- ments of €19.4 million (previous year: €34.7 million). They relate to terminal operation at the concession airports in Greece at Fraport Annual Report 2021Group Notes / Notes to the Consolidated Financial Position 172 174 Group Notes / Notes to the Consolidated Income Statement Fraport-Annual Report 2021 €1,986.7 million (previous year: €2,034.2 million), Lima at €726.7 million (previous year: €497.9 million), Fortaleza and Porto Alegre at €551.6 million (previous year: €530.4 million), as well as Varna and Burgas at €151.5 million (previous year: €158.7 million). Loans that were specifically taken out to finance the expansion of the airports in Brazil were accounted for as borrowing costs in the amount of €39.6 million (previous year: €20.2 million), of which €13.8 million (previous year: €9.4 million) were capitalized. Interest rates on loans range from 11.7% and 16.1%. Amounts for loan disbursements that are not yet required for capital expenditure in the expansion of the airports were reinvested. The accrued interest income for these investments amounted to €0.7 million (previous year: €1.0 million). As part of the expansion at Lima Airport, loans amounting to €61.8 million were raised as part of specific financing and in this context borrowing costs of €3.7 million (previous year: €0.8 million) were capitalized. The loan will accumulate interest at an interest rate of 1.62%. 19 Other Intangible Assets Other intangible assets € million Other concession and operator rights Software and other intangible assets Total December 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 57.4 48.4 105.8 60.4 58.7 119.1 The other concession and operator rights include the right derived from an existing, long-term land use contract to operate the airport in Ljubljana (€52.5 million, previous year: €54.0 million) with a remaining term of 32 years (previous year: 33 years), and the concession rights in the retail sector shown in the balance sheet of Fraport USA (€4.9 million, previous year: €6.4 million) with residual terms of up to 8 years (previous year: 9 years). The other intangible assets as at the reporting date contain internally generated intangible assets with residual carrying amounts of €8.3 million (previous year: €11.6 million). At closing date further €1.8 million (previous year: €1.8 million) were attributable to the development phase. The depreciation and amortization is carried out on a straight-line basis taking into account the scheduled useful lives between 3 and 20 years. Depreciation and amortization in the fiscal year amounted to €4.0 million (previous year: €4.0 million). 20 Property, Plant, and Equipment Property, Plant, and Equipment € million Land, land rights, and buildings, including buildings on leased lands Technical equipment and machinery Other equipment, operating, and office equipment Construction in progress Right of use assets leases Total December 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 3,244.0 1,585.5 194.9 2,652.7 221.3 7,898.4 3,174.1 1,512.8 204.8 2,191.7 246.9 7,330.3 Additions in the 2021 fiscal year amounted to €847.0 million (previous year: €876.9 million). Of this, €625.4 million (previous year: €553.7 million) was attributable to projects relating to the capacitive expansion of Frankfurt Airport. Borrowing costs were capitalized in the amount of €19.4 million (previous year: €15.9 million) for general project financing at Fraport AG. These relate to financing where it is not possible to directly attribute the borrowing costs to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset. The borrowing cost rate applied averaged around 1.6% (previous year: around 1.6%). Fraport Annual Report 2021Group Notes / Notes to the Consolidated Financial Position Fraport Annual Report 2021 Group Notes / Notes to the Consolidated Income Statement 173 175 In addition, specific project financing has been concluded for measures related to the construction of Terminal 3. In total, borrowing costs of €3.6 million (previous year: €2.2 million) were capitalized in the financial year. The average financing cost rate was around 0.6% (previous year: around €0.6%). As at the balance sheet date, property, plant, and equipment with a carrying amount totaling €0.2 million (previous year: €0.2 million) carry mortgages. Property, plant, and equipment of the Fraport Group comprises land, land rights, and buildings, including those on land leased by Fraport AG and is valued at €3,129.1 million (previous year: €3,072.7 million). As at the balance sheet date of 2021, land with an area of 26.1 million square meters (equivalent to approximately 10.1 sq mi) were owned by Fraport AG. Depending on the location and type of use, the market value of the land included in property, plant, and equipment varies between €1 and €800 per square meter (equivalent to approximately 10.75 sq ft) (land values published by the committees of experts for real estate values of the State of Hesse). Leases – Right of Use Assets Land and Buildings Property, plant, and equipment includes rights of use from leases for land and buildings.

Only the fixed minimum lease payments guaranteed to the lessor were included in the measurement of the lease liabilities of the companies of Fraport USA. Sales-related (variable) rental payments to be paid in addition are recognized as expenses in the respective period and are reported in the cost of materials for the companies of Fraport USA. The rental and concession agreements currently in force at Fraport USA generally have a term of ten years and some extension options of five years each, but these cannot be exercised unilaterally and therefore cannot be assessed with sufficient certainty. Therefore, only fixed terms without optional periods are taken into account as lease terms. The longest-running contract with Fraport USA as at the reporting date ends on January 31, 2029. The variable leasing payments incurred in the fiscal year are entirely attributable to Fraport USA. Future cash outflows from variable lease payments occur if the lease payments for the fiscal year exceed the contractually defined minimum lease payments (base rents) that were included in the measurement of the lease liabilities. The exceeding part is treated as variable lease payment. The total amount of lease payments to be paid depends on the revenue received from subletting the concession areas. As at the balance sheet date, future nominal payment obligations arising from existing leases amounting to €287.5 million and €2.1 million which were not paid in the past fiscal year as their due date could not yet be finalized with the lessor. A maturity analysis of the lease liabilities is shown in note 47. In the Fraport Group, income of €35.2 million from the application of the relief provisions to IFRS 16.46 adopted on May 28, 2020 was realized in the fiscal year (rental concessions in connection with the Covid-19 pandemic).

The fair value of the undeveloped land – Level 2 is calculated internally using the comparative value procedure pursuant to the Real Estate Valuation Regulation of December 3, 2019 (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. However, the square meter prices of current land transactions in the same construction area are not observable on the market. The developed land – Level 3 comprises real estate leased for residential purposes from the voluntary purchase program for real estate in Flörsheim in the flight zone of Runway Northwest and commercially leased properties situated in the south of the airport site. The decrease in the carrying amount results from necessary reclassifications to property, plant and equipment. The fair values of developed land – Level 3 category are calculated partly using the capitalization of earnings method pursuant to ImmoWertV and partly using the discounted cash flow method by independent assessors. Key input parameters in the capitaliza- tion of earnings method include the multiplier, depending on the useful life and property yields, and the underlying annual rent. A perpetual annuity is assumed in the discounted cash flow method. 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. For major parts of the investment property, foreseeable restrictions on saleability arise from the fact that these areas are located in the immediate vicinity of Runway Northwest.

Authorized capital At the AGM on May 23, 2017 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 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 22, 2022 by issuing new shares in return for cash. The statutory subscription rights of the shareholders may be excluded. In the 2021 fiscal year, the shares for issue within the scope of the employee share program were acquired by Fraport AG on the market. The option adopted at the AGM on May 23, 2017, to increase the share capital by issuing new shares in return for cash for use within the scope of the employee share program was therefore not utilized. As of December 31, 2021 there was authorized capital of €3.5 million. At the Annual General Meeting on June 1, 2021, new authorized capital (“Authorized Capital II”) of €458.8 million was approved. The Executive Board is entitled, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, to increase the capital stock on one or more occasions by up to a total of €458.8 million until May 31, 2026 by issuing up to 45,884,352 new no-par value bearer shares in return for cash. When making use of the Authorized Capital II, shareholders have a subscription right that may be excluded by the Executive Board with the consent of the Supervisory Board, insofar as this is necessary to compensate for residual amounts. The new shares may be underwritten by financial institutions with the obligation to offer them to shareholders for subscription. The new shares will participate in the profits from the beginning of the fiscal year in which they are issued, unless the Executive Board decides, with the consent of the Supervisory Board, that they will participate in the profits from the beginning of a fiscal year that has already ended for which no resolution has yet been passed by the Annual General Meeting regarding the utilization of the profits earmarked for distribution. Contingent capital On June 1, 2021, the Annual General Meeting also approved an increase in the share capital by up to €120.2 million (“contingent capital”). The contingent capital is used to grant shares to the holders or creditors of convertible bonds and/or bonds with warrants Group Notes / Notes to the Consolidated Income Statement Fraport Annual Report 2021 issued by the company up to May 31, 2026. The new shares, issued at the conversion or option price to be determined in accord- ance with the authorization resolution, will participate in the profits from the beginning of the fiscal year in which they are created by the exercise of conversion or option rights or through the fulfillment of corresponding obligations (fiscal year of origin); in deviation from this, the new shares will participate in the profits from the beginning of the fiscal year preceding the fiscal year in which they were created if the Annual General Meeting has not yet passed a resolution on the utilization of the profit earmarked for distribution from the fiscal year preceding the fiscal year in which they were created. 183 Capital reserve The capital reserve contains the premium from the issue of Fraport AG shares.

Fraport Annual Report 2021Group Notes / Notes to the Consolidated Financial Position Fraport Annual Report 2021 Group Notes / Notes to the Consolidated Income Statement 185 187 38 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. Pension obligations primarily include 18 (previous year: 18) vested pension benefits promised in individual pension commitments to members of the Fraport AG Executive Board and their surviving dependents. A reinsurance was already obtained in 2005 to reduce actuarial risks and 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 correspond to the total achievable retirement, occupational disability, and widow’s/widower's benefits in accordance with the pension commitments. Reinsurance benefits are recognized at the active value reported by the insurance company to the value of €24.5 million (previous year: €24.7 million), of which €1.0 million (previous year: €1.1 million) is attributable to reserved trust assets. The reinsurance is not traded on an active market. Plan assets are invested in shares, real estate, fixed-interest securities, and other assets. Reinsurance installments of €0.0 million have been paid for 2021 (previous year: €0.3 million) and €0.0 million is expected for the next year (previous year: €0.9 million). In addition, €0.0 million (previous year: €0.04 million) were paid in the reinsurance in fiscal year 2021 through deferred compensation. The average weighted term of the members of the Executive Board’s defined benefit plans is 14.2 years (previous year: 15.5 years) for pensions with reinsurance and 8.1 years (previous year: 8.4 years) for pensions without reinsurance. The Executive Board members are entitled to pension benefits and provision for surviving dependents. An Executive Board member is generally entitled to a retirement pension if he or she becomes permanently unable to work or retires from office during the term 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 widower or widow; 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 retirement 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 is 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% up to a limit of 75%, dependent on the duration of time an Executive Board member is appointed. As at December 31, 2021, Dr. Schulte is entitled to a retirement pension of 74.0% and Prof. Dr. Zieschang to 58.0% of the respective contractually agreed basis of assessment. In the event of occupational disability, the pension rate for Dr Schulte and Prof Dr Zieschang amounts to at least 55% of their respective fixed annual gross salaries or of the contractually agreed basis of assessment. For Executive Board members appointed from 2012 onwards, the pension benefits, provision for surviving dependents, and provision for long-term occupational disability are governed by a separate benefit agreement. This calls for the payment of a one-time pension capital or lifelong retirement pension after the insured event. 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 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 lifelong 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 retirement pension payment by a maximum of five years from the start of the employment contract. Until the postponed start of Fraport Annual Report 2021Group Notes / Notes to the Consolidated Financial Position 186 188 Group Notes / Notes to the Consolidated Income Statement Fraport-Annual Report 2021 the pension benefit payments, they will receive a monthly benefit of €2.5 thousand. The risk of pension payments in the increase phase and of payments for the increase has been reinsured by an occupational disability insurance policy. The full amount of all income pursuant to the Income Tax Act from employment or self-employment is credited against the retirement pension paid until the end of the month in which the Executive Board member reaches the age of 62. Benefits for surviving dependents of Executive Board members appointed from 2012 onwards are regulated as follows: If there is no prior event giving rise to retirement benefits, the widow or widower receives the pension capital generated so far. If there is no widow or widower entitled to benefits, each half-orphan receives 10% and each full orphan receives 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 reinsured by a term life insurance policy. If an Executive Board member dies while collecting retirement pensions, the widow or widower is entitled to 60% of the last retirement pensions paid. Half-orphans receive 10% and full orphans receive 25% of the last retirement pensions paid. 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 post-contractual restrictive covenant. For this period, appropriate ex gratia compensation in the amount of 50% of the contractual benefits last received by the member of the Executive Board is granted (within the meaning of Section 74 (2) of the HGB); when calculating compensation, the performance-based remuneration components shall be taken into account according to the average of the last three completed fiscal years. If the current remuneration system has not existed for three fiscal years at the end of the contract, the average performance-based remuneration is determined based on the duration of the contract in accordance with the current remuneration system (within the meaning of Section 74b (2) of the HGB). Payment shall be made in monthly installments. The compensation shall be generally credited against any retirement pension owed by Fraport AG, insofar as the compensation together with the retirement pension and other generated income exceeds 100% of the last annual gross remuneration received. Payments on the occasion of premature termination of the membership on the Executive Board are credited to the compensation for the period of leave. No other benefits have been promised to Executive Board members should their employment be terminated. The retirement pension payments entitlement of former Executive Board members is determined by a percentage of a contractu- ally agreed fixed basis of assessment. 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 benefits 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 said limited pension benefits and benefits for surviving dependents, there exists a supplementary company retirement benefit for these persons. Accordingly, 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 not covered by a collective bargaining agreement before January 1, 2000. Furthermore, this applies to employees who changed from an employment covered by a collective bargaining agreement to one not covered by a collective bargaining agreement after December 31, 1997 or who entered into an employment not covered by a collective bargaining agreement after December 31, 1997, effective as at the time of the change in status. There were 633 benefits (of which 597 vested) as at the end of the year. The present value of the non-vested benefits amounted to €0.1 million (previous year: €0.5 million); the present value of the vested benefits amounted to €14.5 million in the 2021 annual financial statements (previous year: €14.2 million). Future obligations amount to €9.8 million for active employees and €4.8 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 term of 9.3 years (previous year: 10.2 years). Furthermore, senior managers not covered by collective bargaining have had the opportunity to participate in an employee- financed company pension scheme (“deferred compensation”). The employee contribution 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 23 vested pension commitments totaling €8.4 million (previous year: €8.7 million). Obligations amount to €6.5 million for active employees (previous year: €7.6 million); obligations amount to Fraport Annual Report 2021Group Notes / Notes to the Consolidated Financial Position Fraport Annual Report 2021 Group Notes / Notes to the Consolidated Income Statement 187 189 €1.9 million for former and retired employees (previous year: €1.1 million). The average weighted term of the employee-financed company pension scheme was 8.3 years (previous year: 9.0 years). Guidelines nos. 2 and 3 as well as company agreement BV 47 were replaced with a new version of company agreement BV 47 and an amalgamated guideline 2 effective January 1, 2017. The new version differs from the previously valid version in that the interest on contributions from January 1, 2017 is no longer accrued at a fixed interest rate of 6% nor is direct interest attributed based on age factors but rather at an annual rate based on the market rate, which is no less than 2% p.a. and no more than 6% p.a. Contributions that have been paid in by December 31, 2016 still accrue interest according to the previous version. The valuation of pension obligations is based on the provisions of IAS 19. The pension obligations as at December 31, 2021 were calculated on the basis of actuarial opinions. Changes to the obligations outlined above were as follows: Pension obligations (2021) € million As at January 1, 2021 Service cost Current service cost Supplementary service cost Gains and losses on compensation Total service cost Net interest income/expense Interest income and interest expenses Remeasurements Income on plan assets, excluding interest Actuarial gains and losses from changes in demographic assumptions Actuarial gains and losses from the adjustment of the obligation based on experience Actuarial gains and losses from changes in financial assumptions Total remeasurements Impacts of exchange rate differences Contributions of the employer to the plan Contributions of the employee to the plan Payments from the plan Overfunding As at December 31, 2021 Present value of the obligation Plan assets Total 71.4 –24.7 46.7 2.3 0.0 0.0 2.3 0.3 0.0 0.0 –2.3 –3.5 –5.8 0.0 0.1 0.0 –2.0 0.0 66.3 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 –0.1 –0.6 0.0 0.0 0.0 –0.6 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.8 0.0 –24.6 2.3 0.0 0.0 2.3 0.2 –0.6 0.0 –2.3 –3.5 –6.4 0.0 0.1 0.0 –1.2 0.0 41.7 Fraport Annual Report 2021Group Notes / Notes to the Consolidated Financial Position 188 190 Group Notes / Notes to the Consolidated Income Statement Fraport-Annual Report 2021 Pension obligations (2020) € million As at January 1, 2020 Service cost Current service cost Supplementary service cost Gains and losses on compensation Total service cost Net interest income/expense Interest income and interest expenses Remeasurements Income on plan assets, excluding interest Actuarial gains and losses from changes in demographic assumptions Actuarial gains and losses from the adjustment of the obligation based on experience Actuarial gains and losses from changes in financial assumptions Total remeasurements Impacts of exchange rate differences Contributions of the employer to the plan Contributions of the employee to the plan Payments from the plan Overfunding As at December 31, 2020 Offsetting Present value of the obligation Plan assets Total 64.5 –24.3 40.2 1.9 0.0 0.0 1.9 0.5 0.0 0.0 4.3 2.3 6.6 0.0 0.4 0.0 –2.5 0.0 71.4 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 –0.2 –0.7 0.0 0.0 0.0 –0.7 0.0 –0.3 0.0 0.8 0.0 –24.7 1.9 0.0 0.0 1.9 0.3 –0.7 0.0 4.3 2.3 5.9 0.0 0.1 0.0 –1.7 0.0 46.7 Pension obligations are offset against the plan assets reserved for insolvency insurance below: Offsetting € million Offsetting Reconciliation to assets and liabilities recognized in the financial position Present value of an obligation funded through a reinsurance/trust assets Fair value of plan assets Overfunding (not included in the net liability)/underfunding Present value of an obligation not funded through a reinsurance/trust assets (Net) liabilities recognized in the financial position Significant actuarial assumptions 2021 2021 2020 30.1 –24.6 5.5 36.2 41.7 32.8 –24.7 8.1 38.6 46.7 2020 Salary trend Interest rate Pension growth Mortality Retirement age 2.25% 0.90% 1,75 %/2,25 % Mortality tables 2018 G of Prof. Dr. Heubeck Termination of contract period, earliest pension- able age in pension commitments 2.25 % 0.40 % 1,75 %/2,25 % Mortality tables 2018 G of Prof. Dr. Heubeck Termination of contract period, earliest pension- able age in pension commitments The significant actuarial assumptions relate to the pension obligations of the Fraport Group.

Fraport Annual Report 2021Group Notes / Notes to the Consolidated Financial Position Fraport Annual Report 2021 Group Notes / Notes to the Consolidated Income Statement 189 191 Sensitivity analysis The sensitivity analysis is based on changes in the assumptions while 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 assump- tions. The method for determining the sensitivity analysis did not change. The pension provision would vary by the following amounts in the event of a change in assumptions: Sensitivity analysis (December 31, 2021) € million Interest rate Pension growth Mortality Retirement age 1) 2021 Decrease in interest rate by 0.5% Increase in interest rate by 0.5% 3.6 Decrease in pension growth by 0.25% –1,0 –3,4 Increase in pension growth by 0.25% 1.0 Reduction by one year 0.0 Increase by one year 1.8 1) The obligation would increase by €1.8 million for all beneficiaries as a result of a one-year increase in the retirement age. Sensitivity analysis (December 31, 2020) € million Interest rate Pension growth Mortality Retirement age 1) 2020 Decrease in interest rate by 0.5% 4.3 Decrease in pension growth by 0.25% –1,3 Increase in interest rate by 0.5% –3,9 Increase in pension growth by 0.25% 1.3 Reduction by one year 0.0 Increase by one year 2.1 1) The obligation would increase by €2.1 million for all beneficiaries as a result of a one-year increase in the retirement age. The retirement age has no influence on the pensions received by members of the Executive Board and was only calculated for other pensions. Due to the structure of the respective pension plans, the salary adjustment has no effect on pension obligations. In connection with the defined benefit plans, the Group is exposed to the actuarial risks mentioned above as well as the interest rate risk. Due to the liquidity available in the Group, there is no risk with regard to fulfillment of non- reinsured obligations. Multi-employer plans Fraport AG has insured its employees for purposes of granting a 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 7.0% on compensation liable to top-up pension payments; thereof, the employer pays 5.3%, with the contribution paid by the employee amounting to 1.7%. In addition, a tax-free restructuring fee of 1.4% of the remuneration 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 9.0% is paid for some employees included in the statutory social security insurance scheme (generally employees exempted from collective bargaining agreements and Senior Managers) for the consideration subject to ZVK that, according to Section 38 ATV-K, exceeds the upper limit defined in the collective bargaining agreement. The amounts subject to contributions amounted to €349.5 million. The obligations carried out via the ZVK are indirect pension obligations for which no provisions have been established pursuant to Article 28 (1) sentence 2 of the Introductory Act to the German Commercial Code (EGHGB). Fraport Annual Report 2021Group Notes / Notes to the Consolidated Financial Position 190 192 Group Notes / Notes to the Consolidated Income Statement Fraport-Annual Report 2021 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. Reference is also made to the collective bargaining agreement risks arising from the ZVK insurance in the Risk and Oppor- tunities Report in the management report. The ZVK insurance is generally to be classified as a defined benefit plan (IAS 19.30). Because there is not sufficient information on the plan and the company also covers the risks of other insuring companies with its contributions (IAS 19.34), only the current contributions are accounted for as if it were a defined contribution plan. Due to its structure, the ZVK does not provide 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 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, €19.2 million (previous year: €25.7 million) was recorded as contributions to defined contribution plans for ZVK. Furthermore, due to statutory provisions, contributions are also made to state-administered pension funds in Germany. Contribu- tions in the amount of €22.1 million are expected for the following financial year. In addition, contributions are paid to state pension insurance institutions in Germany on the basis of statutory provisions. The current contributions are shown as expense for the respective year. Employer contributions made by the Fraport Group to statutory insurance schemes totaled €68.4 million (previous year: €65.6 million). 39 Non-current and Current Income Tax Provisions Non-current and current income tax provisions € million Remaining term up to 1 year over 1 year Total December 31, 2021 Remaining term up to 1 year over 1 year Total December 31, 2020 Provisions for taxes on income 29.4 83.7 113.1 43.1 51.0 94.1 Tax provisions amounting to €113.1 million (previous year: €94.1 million) were accrued for unassessed corporation tax and trade taxes, as well as for tax audit risks. 40 Non-current and Current Other Provisions The development in the non-current and current provisions is shown in the following tables.

The partial retirement provisions are recognized pursuant to IAS 19. The credit for partial retirement is offset against the fund units (see also The provision for the company-wide program to develop the personnel structure initiated in fiscal year 2016 “Future Contract Plus note 23).

As at December 31, 2021, estimated cash outflows (present value) amounted to €2.4 million within one year (previous year: €2.3 million), €10.0 million after one to five years (previous year: €9.1 million), and €26.8 million after five years (previous year: €22.1 million). The “passive noise abatement” provision includes obligations to refund the passive noise abatement expenses of owners of private and commercial land and obligations to pay outdoor living and commercial area compensation. The obligations result from the planning approval notice made by the Hessian Ministry of Economics, Energy, Transport and Living (HMWEVW) on December 18, 2007 in conjunction with the Act for Protection against Aircraft Noise (Aircraft Noise Act), and the planning approval notice of April 30, 2013. As at December 31, 2021, estimated cash outflows (present value) amounted to €21.4 million within one year (previous year: €14.7 million), €10.0 million after one to five years (previous year: €24.5 million), and €0.0 million after five years (previous year: €0.0 million). There is a corresponding refund claim reported under other accounts receivable for all obligations reported under “passive noise abatement” as at the reporting date (see also note 25). The carrying amount of the refund claim depends on the actually collected, and future expected noise abatement charges. The carrying amount of the corresponding provision depends on the actual, and future expected cash outflows for passive noise abatement measures and wake turbulences. A provision for environmental protection compensating measures was created in 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. As at December 31, 2021, estimated cash outflows (present value) amounted to €0.8 million within one year (previous year: €0.9 million), €3.2 million after one to five years (previous year: €7.6 million), and €10.0 million after five years (previous year: €6.6 million). The wake turbulence protection program concerns the protection of roofs in the defined entitlement areas to protect against damage to roof cladding due to gusts of wind caused by wake turbulences. The obligations result from the corresponding supple- mentation decision dated May 10, 2013 and May 26, 2014. As at December 31, 2021, estimated cash outflows (present value) amounted to €1.2 million within one year (previous year: €1.5 million), €8.1 million after one to five years (previous year: €9.2 million), and €7.6 million after five years (previous year: €9.6 million). There is a corresponding refund claim, reported under other accounts receivable, for the obligations (see also note 25). The remaining provisions include provisions for rebates and refunds of €25.1 million (previous year: €22.5 million), provisions for interest related to expected back tax payments of €16.8 million (previous year: €22.8 million), provisions for development measures still to be implemented in connection with the sale of real estate inventories (also see note 28) of €5.7 million (previous year: €7.4 million), as well as claim events and other risks. Cash flow used in the other provisions are primarily expected within one year.

The fair values of listed securities are identical to the stock market prices on the reporting date. 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 fair values of loans to joint ventures and associated companies, as well as other non-current financial assets, are determined as the present value of future cash flows. Discounting was applied using the current maturity-linked interest rate as at the balance sheet date. The fair value of the loan including interest receivables to NCG is mainly affected by cash flow forecasts and interest rate developments. The carrying amounts of other loans correspond to the respective fair values. The other loans are subject to a market interest rate, and their carrying amounts therefore represent a reliable valuation for their fair values. Part of the other loans are promissory note loans with a remaining term of more than one year. Due to the lack of an active market, no information is available on the risk premiums of their respective issuers. As the promissory note loans are mainly floating interest rate loans, their carrying amounts were used as the most reliable value for their fair values. Non-current liabilities are recognized at their present value. To determine fair value, the respective cash outflows are discounted at interest rates with similar terms and with the Fraport credit risk as at the reporting date. The carrying amounts of current liabilities are equal to the fair value. There is a general interest rate risk for fixed-interest loans that are extended at the ends of their terms. 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-driven and maturity-linked risk premium of the respective borrower as at the reporting date is added to the cash flows. The derivative financial instruments relate to interest rate hedging transactions, two of which contain floors. The fair values of these interest swaps are determined on the basis of discounted future expected cash flows, using market interest rates corre- sponding to the terms to maturity. The calculation of the fair market value of the floors is based on a standard option pricing model. The other investments categorized as Level 3 relate to the shares in Delhi International Airport Private Ltd. Until December 31, 2016, the fair value of the shares in Delhi International Airport Private Ltd. was determined based on a current bid and taking current exchange rates into account, and categorized as Level 2. Since June 30, 2017, the fair value has been determined based on a discounted cash flow valuation. The share option in Level 3 relates to shares in Fraport Greece A and Fraport Greece B. Fraport holds a short position. Another shareholder has the possibility to exercise his option for shareholders' equity shares once in the next two years. The substantial non-observable input factors, both for the share option and the shares in Delhi International Airport Private Ltd., for determining the fair value, are the forecast cash flows, which are based on the company’s future earnings and planned capital expenditure, as well as the discount factor that is applied. The discount factor used was the WACC (country-specific, weighted average capital cost after taxes).

Interest and dividend income from financial instruments held at FVOCI are also included in the calculation of the net result. Interest and dividend income of the other categories are not included in the net result disclosed. In addition to the recognized fair value changes, gains on financial liabilities FVTPL also include the fair values of an interest rate swap for which there were no hedged items in the course of the 2021 fiscal year. In addition, the recognized change in the share option was included in this position. Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting 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 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. Fraport Annual Report 2021Group Notes / Notes to the Consolidated Financial Position Fraport Annual Report 2021 Group Notes / Notes to the Consolidated Income Statement 195 197 Interest rate risks arise in particular from the capital requirements associated with capital expenditure and from existing floating interest rate financial liabilities and assets. As part of the interest rate risk management policy, interest swaps and interest swaps with embedded floors were concluded in order to limit the interest rate risk arising from financial instruments with floating interest rates and assure planning security. An expense of €7.2 million was accrued within the scope of the acquisition valuation of derivatives in connection with the commit- ment in Greece in April 2017. In the year under review, the value from €4.5 million increased by €0.8 million to €5.3 million due to an adjustment of the proportional release. The Group holds three interest rate swaps as at the reporting date (previous year: three).

Changes in the fair values of these instruments are recorded in a shareholders’ equity sub-account without affecting profit or loss. This economic relationship results from the compensation amount and thus the effectiveness of these cash flow hedges. The effectiveness is confirmed and documented at regular intervals; the hedge ratio of the securities is 1:1. In general, the recorded hedging relationships can become ineffective if a gap arises in the material meas- urement parameters between the hedged item and hedging instrument. They are calculated on the basis of the dollar offset method. Due to a very low level of ineffectiveness, the change in value of hedging instruments corresponds to change in value of the underlying hedged item. These changes in value arise from the unrealized losses that were recorded in shareholders’ equity during the fiscal year. One interest rate swap (previous year: one) are classified as FVTPL. All changes in value 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.

During the year under review, gains of €0.1 million before taxes (previous year: €4.9 million losses) were transferred from shareholders’ equity to the financial result. This results in changes in deferred tax assets of €1.3 million and a balance of –€2.2 million (previous year: –€6.7 million). Notes to the Segment Reporting 42 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 principle decision-maker and is attached as an appendix to the notes. The same accounting principles as those used in the consolidated financial statements underlie segment reporting. The strategic business units of Fraport AG at the Frankfurt site are clearly assigned to the Aviation, Retail & Real Estate, Ground Handling and International Activities & Services segments. In addition, these segments include Group companies integrated in the business processes at the Frankfurt site. The Aviation segment incorporates the strategic business unit “Aviation” as well as the Group companies involved in the processes at the Frankfurt site. The “Airside & Terminal Management, Corporate Safety & Security” strategic business unit was also renamed “Aviation” in the fiscal year 2021. 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 this 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 International Activities & Services segment encompasses in aggregate, due to the similarity of the economic criteria, 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 (International Activities). The business operations of these companies consist of the operation of airports outside the Frankfurt site or the provision of airport-related services, and are primarily aimed at the users of airport infrastructure. In subareas, they are subject to country-specific regulatory requirements for the operation of airport infrastructure. In addition, the internal service units Integrated Facility Management, Corporate Infrastructure Management, Airport Expansion South, Information and Telecommunication and their Group companies and the strategic business unit Global Investments and Management are assigned to the segment because they primarily provide internal services for the Fraport Group. Revenue of €61.6 million, EBITDA of €35.7 million and EBIT of €7.5 million result from the internal service units and their investments as well as the acquisitions and investments section. Fraport Annual Report 2021 Fraport Annual Report 2021 Group Notes / Notes to the Segment Reporting Group Notes / Notes to the Segment Reporting 197 199 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 International 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 allocation of rent for land, buildings and space, as well as maintenance services and energy supply within 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 income also reflects income 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 this segment structure. The reconciliation of segment assets/segment liabilities column includes the income tax assets/liabilities (including the deferred tax assets/liabilities) of the Group. In the additional disclosures “Geographical Information”, allocation takes place according to the current main areas of operation: Germany, Rest of Europe, Asia, and America. The figures shown under “Asia” relate mainly to Turkey and the People’s Republic of China. The figures shown under “America” relate mainly to the United States, Peru, and Brazil. The two Brazilian companies achieved revenue in the amount of €68.3 million in 2021 (previous year: €88.3 million). The investments in airport operating projects according to IFRIC 12 increased from €530.4 million in the previous year to €551.6 million as at December 31, 2021. The revenue of Lima Airport Partners S.R.L., Lima, Peru, amounted to €345.2 million in 2021 (previous year: €214.3 million). The company holds non-current intangible assets in connection with the accounting pursuant to IFRIC 12 of around €726.7 million as at the balance sheet date (previous year: €497.9 million). In the “Rest of Europe” region, the two Greek companies contributed a total of €255.4 million (previous year: €185.0 million) to revenue (see also note 2). The investments in airport operating projects according to IFRIC 12 amounted to €1,986.7 million as at December 31, 2021 (previous year: €2,034.2 million). The addition to the fully consolidated subsidiaries relates to the company Fraport Antalya Havalimanı İşletme ve Yatırım A.Ş, Istanbul, Turkey (International Activities & Services segment). In addition, Fraport TAV Antalya Yatirim, Yapim ve İşletme A.Ş., Istanbul, Turkey (International Activities & Services segment) was added to the joint ventures. Both additions are related to the awarded tender for the operating concession at Antalya Airport. The aforementioned changes had no substantial impact on the segment reporting. Segment assets of the Retail & Real Estate segment include real estate inventories of €0.5 million (previous year: €5.0 million). During the 2021 fiscal year, revenue of €467.8 million was generated in all four segments with one customer (previous year: €345.8 million). Further explanations about segment reporting can be found in the management report.

Cash flow used in investing activities At –€1,133.2 million, the cash flow used in investing activities excluding investments in cash deposits and securities was only slightly below the previous year’s level (previous year: –€1,141.4 million). Increased cash outflows for expansion and extension measures at the Frankfurt site and capital expenditure in airport operating projects were offset by higher cash inflows from dividends from companies accounted for using the equity method. Including capital expenditure from the cash inflows, in particular from the bonds issued and loans in the time deposits with a remaining term of more than three months, as well as capital expenditure and proceeds from other monetary and securities investments, the cash flow used in investing activities amounted to –€2,304.2 million (previous year: –€2,528.2 million). Cash flow from financing activities In order to ensure liquidity and finance the ongoing expansion projects, the cash flow from financing activities was €2,095.4 million, which remained at a very high level as in the previous year (2020: €2,471.0 million). The cash flow from financing measures amounted to €2,798.4 million (previous year: €2,692.3 million) from the assumption of non-current financial liabilities and €703.0 million (previous year: €220.7 million) from repayments of non-current and other changes in current financial liabilities.

A certain number of virtual shares (so-called performance shares) is allocated annually depending on certain performance 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 two 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. On January 1 of the years 2016 to 2019, the Executive Board and Senior Managers in the Fraport Group were each promised a tranche. The tranches for the Executive Board and for Senior Managers differ in the calculation of the extent to which objectives have been reached for the targets in the weighting of the individual years of the performance period. Performance Share Plan Effective January 1, 2020, the Long-Term Incentive Program (LTIP) used to determine the long-term performance remuneration for the Executive Board has been replaced by the Performance Share Plan (PSP), which maintains the performance period of four years. The Long-Term Strategy Award based on a three-year period was initially transferred to the previous LTIP in order to make the remuneration even more sustainable for the long term. The long-term performance remuneration component consists of a performance share plan with a four-year performance period. At the start of the plan, each member of the Executive Board is promised a target amount in euros specified in their employment contract as an allocation value. This amount is divided by the initial fair value (i.e., the financially determined fair value according to the accounting standard IFRS 2, “Share-Based Payment”) per performance share at the beginning of the performance period, resulting in the provisional number of virtual performance shares allocated to each case. The achievement of the performance share plan is determined by two performance criteria, Earnings Per Share (EPS) and the Total Shareholder Return (TSR) to the companies in the MDAX. • The Earnings Per Share (EPS) criterion is used as an internal financial performance target and is taken into account with a weighting of 70%. The EPS performance criterion provides incentives to operate profitably. This forms the basis for the sustainable and long-term growth of Fraport AG and ensures the financing capacity of necessary capital expenditure and thus the achievement of important strategic goals. Long-term growth helps Fraport AG to achieve its objective of estab- lishing itself as Europe’s best airport operator and also to set global standards among the competition. In determining the achievement of the EPS target, a target value derived from strategic planning is compared with the actual EPS value achieved. This compares the average of the annual actual EPS values determined during the performance period with the average target EPS. If the average actual EPS value is equal to the average target EPS (target value), the target achievement rate is 100%. If the average actual EPS value is 25% below the target value, the target achievement rate is 50%. If the average actual EPS value is more than 25% below the target value, the target achievement rate is 0%. If the average actual EPS value is 25% or more above the target value, the target achievement rate is 150%. Between these values, the degree of achievement follows a straight-line development. Fraport Annual Report 2021Group Notes / Other Disclosures 200 202 Group Notes / Other Disclosures Fraport-Annual Report 2021 • As a further performance criterion, the relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR) uses an external performance criterion geared to the capital market, which is weighted at 30%. The relative TSR takes into account the development of the Fraport share price plus fictitious reinvested gross dividends compared to a predefined comparison group. The relative TSR links the interests of the Executive Board and shareholders and integrates a relative measurement of success into the remuneration system for the Executive Board. This creates an incentive to outperform the relevant comparison group in the long term. Fraport AG pursues the goal of being an attractive investment for shareholders and therefore provides an incentive for above-average success on the capital market. Achieving the target for the relative TSR is based on a comparison with the MDAX. The Supervisory Board considers the MDAX to be an appropriate benchmark group, as Fraport AG is listed in this index and the MDAX consists of companies of a comparable size. To calculate the TSR in the performance period of the Fraport AG share and the MDAX, the arithmetic average of the closing prices over the last 30 trading days before the beginning of a year of the performance period and over the last 30 trading days before the end of a year of the performance period is determined and then averaged relative to the four years of a performance period. In determining the arithmetic average of closing prices at the end of the performance period, a fictitious amount of reinvested gross dividends is also taken into account. The target achievement is 100% if the TSR performance of the Fraport AG share corresponds to the TSR performance of the comparison group. If the TSR performance of the Fraport AG share is 25% below the TSR performance of the MDAX, the target is 50%. If the TSR performance of the Fraport AG share is more than 25% below the TSR performance of the MDAX, the target is 0%. If the TSR performance of the Fraport AG share is 25% or more below the TSR performance of the MDAX, the target is 150%. Achieving the targets between the defined target achievement points follows a straight-line development. For all performance shares allocated between fiscal years 2014 and 2019, the LTIP payment is limited to 150% of the product of the performance shares of the target 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 similar trading system replacing XETRA at the Frankfurt Stock Exchange during the month of January of the fiscal year, in which the relevant performance period begins. Performance shares awarded from the 2020 fiscal year onwards will be defined for the four-year performance period at the start of the plan. The performance criteria allow a target to be achieved in the range of 0% to 150%. At the end of the four-year performance period, the achievement of the performance criteria is determined and the final number of virtual performance shares is determined. The distributed amount is calculated by multiplying the final number of performance shares determined by the average price at that time of the Fraport AG share in the last 3 months prior to the end of the performance period plus dividends paid per share during the performance period. The value of the performance shares to be distributed therefore depends on the achievement of the performance criteria and the share price relevant for the distribution. The maximum payout amount is limited to 150% for each tranche to the Executive Board and 125% for executives to the allocation value applicable at the start of the plan. A total of 106,360 virtual shares were issued in the 2021 fiscal year. A provision for the current LTIP tranches of €5.2 million and the PSP in the amount of €1.6 million was reported as at December 31, 2021. Due to the market dependence of the fair value measurement, there was an effect on profit and loss of €5.8 million in the past fiscal year 2021 (previous year, income: €3.7 million), which was recognized in personnel expenses. Of this amount, €3.8 million is attributable to the Executive Board (previous year, income: €1.9 million) and €2.0 million attributable to Senior Managers of Fraport AG (previous year, income: €1.8 million).

The tranches for the Executive Board and for Senior Managers differ in the calculation of the extent to which objectives have been reached for the targets in the weighting of the individual years of the performance period. From the 2020 fiscal year onwards, the weighting of the individual tranches will be the same for both the Executive Board and Senior Managers. The achievement of the targets for the respective performance criteria of the tranches from fiscal year 2020 will be published in the subsequent compensation report after the end of the plan (2023). Virtual share conditions The virtual shares in the 2021 tranche were issued on January 1, 2021. Their term is four years ending on December 31, 2024. The payout per virtual share corresponds to the weighted average closing prices of the Fraport share in the XETRA trading system on the first 30 stock market trading days immediately following the last day of the performance period. As of the 2021 fiscal year, the amount of the payout from the PSP shall be equal to the weighted average of the closing prices of the Fraport share in XETRA trading on the last three calendar months prior to the end of the performance period plus dividends paid during the performance period. Entitlement to the PSP payment is established by approval by the Supervisory Board of the consolidated financial statements for the last fiscal year of the performance period. Payments are 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. A simulation of the log-normal distributed processes is carried out for the Fraport share price to determine the relevant payment according to the respective performance targets. The fair value of virtual shares to be measured in fiscal years 2018 to 2021 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 the Fraport AG share and beginning in fiscal year 2020 also for the MDAX. The remaining term of the LTIP or the PSP is used as the time horizon to determine volatility.

The guarantees primarily contain contract performance guarantees of €585.0 million, the most important of which are explained below. As at the balance sheet date December 31, 2021 there were contract performance guarantees in connection with the two service concession agreements concluded in 2015 for the 14 Greek Regional Airports (€37.8 million; previous year: €44.6 million), the corresponding construction activities (€29.4 million; previous year: €51.4 million) and financing (€7.3 million; previous year: €7.3 million). In December 2021, Fraport AG and its partner company TAV Airports Holding were awarded the tender for the new concession to operate the Turkish Antalya Airport (see note 22). With the signing of the concession agreement on December 28, 2021, each of the two shareholders had to provide a contract performance guarantee in the amount of €38.3 million. The beneficiary of the contract performance guarantee provided by Fraport AG is our partner company TAV Airports Holding. In connection with the existing concession at Antalya Airport, Turkey, in which Fraport AG owns a 50% share, an existing loan was increased by €55 million in February 2021. As part of the adjustment and increase to this financing with the Turkish Akbank, the shareholder guarantees were increased from €75.0 million (€37.5 million Fraport share) to a total of €150.0 million (€75.0 million Fraport share). The concession agreements in Porto Alegre and Fortaleza, Brazil, resulted in performance guarantees of €376.4 million (previous year: €363.3 million). 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 INR3.000 million or €35.6 million (previous year: €33.5 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. The performance guarantee relating to the concession agreement for the operation of the airport in Lima, Peru, amounted to €14.6 million as at the balance sheet date (previous year: €13.0 million). The Group companies of Fraport USA have obligations which are amounting to €6.8 million (previous year: €28.9 million) in connection with the operation and development of commercial terminal areas at various US airports. Fraport Twin Star Airport Management AD is guaranteed to the amount of €7.5 million (previous year: €7.5 million) in the context of operating the airports in Varna and Burgas, Bulgaria. Fraport Annual Report 2021Group Notes / Other Disclosures Fraport Annual Report 2021 Group Notes / Other Disclosures 203 205 The other contingent liabilities include among others that Fraport AG is held liable to the amount of €7.1 million for rentals payable by Lufthansa Cargo Aktiengesellschaft to ACC Animal Cargo Center Frankfurt GmbH if Lufthansa Cargo Aktiengesellschaft exer- cises an extraordinary right to terminate the contract (previous year: €7.7 million) as well as contingent liabilities at Lima from tax risks to the amount of €13.1 million (previous year: €12.9 million). Other contingent liabilities in 2021 also include possible claims by the local authorities against the Brazilian Fraport company in Porto Alegre for the relocation/construction of alternative residential buildings for the residents of the “Vila Nazaré” settlement adjacent to the airport site. The relocation has been completed. Despite a possible capitalization of these expenses, they are to be presented under contingent liabilities. In total, this figure amounts to the equivalent of €52.9 million. The above mentioned contingent liabilities contain commitments in connection with investments in joint ventures in the amount of €120.1 million (previous year: €49.6 million) and €35.6 million (previous year: €34.5 million) obligations in connection with associated companies. 46 Other Financial Obligations As at the balance sheet date, there were other obligations amounting to €48.4 million (previous year: €47.7 million). These relate largely to obligations arising from a long-term heat and cold supply contract (€24.0 million, previous year: €18.0 million) with Mainova AG. The other obligations include €5.3 million (previous year: €5.3 million) of obligations to joint ventures. Revenue-related concession fees and additional obligations for capital expenditure of unspecified amounts on airport infrastruc- ture have been agreed based on the existing concession agreements relating to the operation of the airports in Varna and Burgas, Bulgaria; Lima, Peru; Fortaleza and Porto Alegre, Brazil; and the 14 Greek Regional Airports (see also note 49). In addition to order commitments, other financial obligations also include future expenses from existing rental and leasing contracts for operating and office equipment as well as technical systems and machines. No right-of-use assets in accordance with IFRS 16 were recognized for these contracts for reasons of materiality. Contracts are recorded as expenses like operate leases.

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 monitor and limit these risks by means of current operating and finance-related activities. Depending on a risk assessment, selected hedging instruments are used for these purposes. In general, Fraport hedges only those risks that affect the Group’s cash flows. Recently concluded derivative financial instruments are used exclusively as hedging instruments; i.e. they are not used for trading purposes. Fraport Annual Report 2021Group Notes / Other Disclosures 204 206 Group Notes / Other Disclosures Fraport-Annual Report 2021 Reporting to the Executive Board of risk positions is made once per quarter as part of the early risk recognition system. In addition, the Chief Financial Officer receives a current financial report each month with all important financial risk positions. These are also part of the monthly Treasury Committee Meetings (TCM) in which the Chief Financial Officer and representatives of the financial department participate. The processes of risk control and the use of financial instruments, among others, are regulated as part of the Group’s financial guidelines. These regulations also include requirements for 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. For further details, please refer to the opportunity and risk reporting in the combined management report. 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 and the limits derived from this. It is the company’s risk policy that financial assets and derivative transactions are in principle only carried out with issuers and counterparties with a credit rating of at least “BBB–”. If the credit rating is downgraded to a grade worse than “BBB–” 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. A low credit risk is expected, unless the debtor of a financial asset shows an external rating with “investment grade” upon initial recognition or on the balance sheet date. The maximum credit risk on the balance sheet date is mainly reflected in the carrying amounts of the assets reported in the financial position. The amount of the debt instruments corresponds to the credit risks of the securities and promissory note loans. On the balance sheet date, the material securities and promissory note loans were broken down as follows: Classification of debt instruments € million Debt instruments December 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 901.5 349.2 The gross carrying amount of securities and promissory note loans have the following long-term issuer ratings: Issuer ratings of securities and promissory note loans € million AAA AA+ AA AA– A+ A A– BBB+ BBB BBB– BB Not rated Total December 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 0.0 5.5 29.1 45.1 76.4 197.7 66.3 191.7 228.1 61.6 0.0 0.0 901.5 0.0 0.0 15.0 0.0 53.5 80.5 38.1 87.6 69.4 5.1 0.0 0.0 349.2 Fraport Annual Report 2021Group Notes / Other Disclosures Fraport Annual Report 2021 Group Notes / Other Disclosures 205 207 The credit risk on liquid funds (gross carrying amount) applies solely with regard to banks.

The funds are primarily used to finance capital expenditure for items of property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets. The operating cash flow, the available liquid funds (including cash and cash equivalents and current 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. 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, 2021 influence the Group’s future liquidity.

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 curve 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. The respective forward interest rates were used to determine the interest payments on primary financial liabilities in foreign currency. For project-financing arrangements of foreign Group companies, credit clauses typical for this type of financing have been agreed. These clauses include regulations under which certain debt service coverage ratios and control indicators for leverage and credit terms 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 shareholders’ equity. Furthermore, there are loans with contractually agreed credit clauses. These clauses relate, among other things, to changes in the shareholder structure, and control of the company. If these changes have a proven negative effect on the credit rating of Fraport AG, the creditors have, above a certain threshold, the right to call the loans due ahead of time. As at the reporting date, most companies were in compliance with the provisions of the financing agreements. For companies that were not able to maintain the required financial key figures, agreements were reached with the financing banks effective December 31, 2021, which were in line with the arrangements provided for this purpose in the respective financing contracts. 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. Within the Group, foreign currency risks mainly arise from revenue in foreign curren- cies, which are not covered by expenses in matching currencies. This results in a cash flow risk between foreign currency revenue and functional currency revenue. Only the transaction risks affecting cash flows are actively controlled. These mainly apply between the US Dollar (US$) and the Peruvian Nuevo Sol (PEN). To reduce the foreign currency effects in the operating business, Fraport Annual Report 2021Group Notes / Other Disclosures Fraport Annual Report 2021 Group Notes / Other Disclosures 207 209 the transaction risk is assessed on an ongoing basis and hedged where necessary by using derivative financial instruments. Entering into financial instrument transactions is the responsibility of the Group companies in close coordination with the Treasury department of Fraport AG. The transaction risks are assessed by means of sensitivity analyses. The calculation rates on which the analyses are based are the result of the mean value for the respective exchange rate in the period under review, less or in addition to a standard deviation. Taking these assumptions as a basis with a deviation of 10%, the result for the period would have been affected in the year under review as follows: Currency rate sensitivity Risk in € million Net income before tax Loss before tax Net income before tax Loss before tax December 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 US$/PEN 0.26 0.26 1.00 1.00 In addition, there are effects in the Group from the translation of foreign currency assets or liabilities into euros and/or from the consolidation of Group companies not accounted for in euros. These translational risks are met as far as possible by applying natural hedging. 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 euro swap rate in the past. Here, the deviation in absolute terms is taken into consideration. To limit the interest rate risks, derivative financial instruments, such as interest rate swaps, floors, 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 shareholders’ 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 curve by 169 basis points over a period of twelve months. The financial instruments measured at amortized acquisition cost with fixed interest rates do not affect the result for the period or the shareholders’ equity of the Fraport Group. Market interest rate changes of primary floating-rate financial instruments that 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 analysis is based on the following assumptions: in €: 3.25 percentage points; US Dollar (US$): 4.00 percentage points; Turkish Lira (TRY): 15.75 percentage points; Peruvian Nuevo Sol (PEN): 6.70 percentage points; Saudi Riyal (SAR): 3.50 percentage points; Bulgarian Lew (BGN): 5.22 percentage points; Hong Kong Dollar (HKD): 5.25 percentage points; Brazilian Real (BRL): 10.52 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 shareholders’ 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. Fraport Annual Report 2021Group Notes / Other Disclosures 208 210 Group Notes / Other Disclosures Fraport-Annual Report 2021 Changes in market interest rates of interest rate derivatives which are not part of a hedging relationship pursuant to IFRS 9 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 statement of financial position as at December 31, 2021 and the assumptions made, the profit or loss-related sensitivity is 28.2 million in the event of an increase (decrease) in the market interest rate (previous year: €8.2 million). This means that the financial result could hypothetically have increased (decreased) by €28.2 million. This hypothetical effect on the result would have resulted from the potential effects of interest rate derivatives of €1.7 million (previous year: €2.3 million) and an increase (decrease) in the interest result from primary floating-rate net financial positions of €26.5 million (previous year: €5.9 million).

By applying the assumptions made, an increase (decrease) in interest rates would have resulted in an increase (decrease) in shareholders’ equity of €47.9 million. Assuming a parallel shift in the interest rate curve of 33 basis points (previous year: 56 basis points) over a twelve-month period in the current interest rate environment gives the following results-oriented interest sensitivity: Interest sensitivity on the financial result in the current interest rate environment December 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Interest sensitivity in € million Thereof from deriva- tive financial instruments Thereof from primary financial instruments 26.8 6.7 0.3 0.8 26.5 5.9 The equity-related sensitivity for 33 basis points (previous year: 56 basis points) is –€9.4 million (previous year: –€5.2 million). By applying the assumptions made, an increase (decrease) in interest rates would have resulted in an increase (decrease) in shareholders’ equity of –€9.4 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 that relate EBITDA to net financial debt and/or interest expense and also very closely monitors developments in the various financing markets. The components of the control indicators are defined as follows: Components of the control indicators Net financial debt EBITDA Interest expense Current financial liabilities + Non-current financial liabilities – Liquid funds – Current realizable assets in “other financial assets” and “other receivables and finan- cial assets” Operating result + depreciation and amortization Interest expense Fraport Annual Report 2021Group Notes / Other Disclosures Fraport Annual Report 2021 Group Notes / Other Disclosures 209 211 The financial ratios developed as follows in the period under review: Financial debt ratios Key figures Net Debt/EBITDA EBITDA/interest expense Corridor December 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Max. 5 x Min. 3 – 4 x 8.4 2.8 –22.1 –1.3 Due to the unpredictable extent of the Covid-19 pandemic and the significant negative financial development, the ranges or thresholds presented in relation to the financial debt ratios could not be met. In the 2022 fiscal year, a further increase in net financial debt is expected in view of the continuing low level of operating development and the advancing construction activities, in particular at the Frankfurt site and in Lima. Therefore, the net financial debt to EBITDA ratio will increase noticeably. However, this key figure is expected to return to the target value of five due to the expected improvement in Group EBITDA. On the basis of a financial institution license, Fraport Malta Business Ltd. finances both companies controlled by Fraport AG and joint ventures and associated companies in the Group. There are minimum capital requirements due to regulatory requirements in connection with the existing financial institution license. In particular, with regard to lending to companies in which Fraport AG directly or indirectly only holds a minority interest, special minimum capital requirements in relation to the amount lent complied with by the company as at the balance sheet date are to be observed per loan. The minimum capital requirements were consist- ently met during fiscal year 2021. Capital management is performed by the company taking account of the regulatory conditions set by the EU and the Maltese financial supervisory authority. 48 Related Party Disclosures Relationships with related parties and the State of Hesse Alongside the Group companies included in the consolidated financial statements, in the context of the course of ordinary business operations, the Group is also related to parties that are not included as well as associated companies and joint ventures, which are parties related to the Group according to IAS 24. Thus, Fraport AG has numerous business relationships with the State of Hesse and the City of Frankfurt and their majority-owned investments. Related companies and authorities with which major busi- ness relationships are maintained include Mainova AG and its subsidiaries. In addition, other operating income in the fiscal year 2021 included the compensation granted by both the German Federal Government and the State of Hesse for the holding costs incurred in the first lockdown in 2020 (see also note 7). The compensation payment approved by the State of Hesse in this context amounted to €79.9 million. All transactions with related parties have been concluded under conditions customary in the market as with unrelated third parties. The services rendered to authorities are generally based on cost prices.

The statement of share-based remuneration includes the granted amount for the Performance Share Plan (PSP) awarded in the fiscal year 2021 (see also note 53). At the end of the fiscal year, there were outstanding balances for the Executive Board members’ bonuses amounting to €3.3 million (previous year: €0.0 million). Fraport Annual Report 2021Group Notes / Other Disclosures Fraport Annual Report 2021 Group Notes / Other Disclosures 211 213 49 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 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 planning approval notice for the expansion of the airport, in particular regarding Runway Northwest, 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. According to this, 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 flight traffic that were initially imposed in 1971 and subsequently updated have been tightened by the aforementioned amendment and extension to the permit. Also daytime operational restrictions on aircraft for civil aviation purposes at Frankfurt Main Airport that do not comply with the Interna- tional 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 around Runway Northwest. The company charges airlines that fly to Frankfurt 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 takeoff 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) as of July 1, 2012. The amount of the charges is specified in a related charge table. In the airport charge table applicable from January 1, 2021, only a further spread of noise-related charges and an increase in the surcharges during nighttime and off-peak hours have been taken into account. On January 1, 2022, a new charge table will enter into effect, which provides for an average increase in airport charges of 4.3%. In addition, the new charge table includes the incentive program “Recovery Program FRA 2022”, with the aim of promoting a rapid recovery of passenger volumes at Frankfurt Airport following the pandemic-related slumps. The new charge table approved by the HMWEVW on December 13, 2021 was published in the Air Transport Bulletin (NfL). Airport charges accounted for 28.97% (previous year: 27.15%) of Fraport AG’s revenue in the year under review. > The remaining charges not subject to approval are classified as charges for central ground service infrastructure facilities and ground service 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 service infrastructure facilities continue to be excluded from competition (monopoly sector) and are completely segregated from the ground services when they are offset with the airlines. Of Fraport AG’s revenue in 2021, 17.60% was generated by ground services (previous year: 16.64%) and 11.33% by infrastructure charges (previous year: 11.25%). 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 42.10% (previous year: 44.96%) of Fraport AG’s entire revenue in the year under review. Fraport Annual Report 2021Group Notes / Other Disclosures 212 214 Group Notes / Other Disclosures Fraport-Annual Report 2021 Fraport Twin Star Airport Management AD Fraport Twin Star Airport Management AD (operator) and the Republic of Bulgaria (grantor), 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 operator 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. Moreover, the operator has capital expenditure obligations of unspecified amounts for the expansion and a capacity increase of the airports in Varna and Burgas and to maintain the assets ceded for use. In addition, the operator pays an annual concession fee of 19.2% of total revenue, at least 19.2% of BGN57 million (€29.1 million), adjusted for the development of the national inflation rate, to the grantor. The operator paid an additional non-recurring concession fee in the amount of €3.0 million to the grantor after the agreement was signed. In return, the operator receives the right to use the existing and future infrastructure for airport operations and the right to generate revenues, in particular through airport charges (passenger, landing, and parking fees), and for ground handling services. Airport charges are regulated by the grantor. The concession agreement started on November 10, 2006, and has a duration of 35 years. There are no options for renewal. Contract performance guarantees must be granted to the grantor depending on the phase of the project (also see note 45). At the end of the concession term, the infrastructure pursuant to the contract that is essential for airport operations must be returned to the grantor in proper operating condition without receiving any consideration in return. Lima Airport Partners S.R.L. (LAP) On February 14, 2001, LAP (operator) and the Peruvian government (grantor) signed the concession agreement for Jorge Chavez International Airport on the operation, expansion, maintenance, and use of the Jorge Chavez International Airport in Lima (Peru). The term of the concession agreement was extended in 2017 from 30 to 40 years, until 2041. There is also an option to extend it by an additional ten-year period, to end in 2051. By concluding the amendments, the land required for the airport expansion was handed over to the company, and in return it is obliged to invest in the airport infrastructure. In this regard, 2021 saw substantial progress in the construction of the new runway and air traffic control tower, which are scheduled to be completed by the end of 2022. The concession agreement provides for the completion and inauguration of the new passenger terminal in the first quarter of 2025. Due to the size and complexity of the project, various risks are associated with the expansion program. For further details, please refer to the opportunity and risk reporting in the combined management report. In addition to the capital expenditure, the company has additional obligations in connection with the operation and maintenance of airport infrastructure. The operator is 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 by US CPI) or 46.511% of total revenue after deduction and transfer to Corpac (Aviation Regulatory Authority) of 50% of 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 operator 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 fees), and for ground handling and other services. Airport charges are regulated by the grantor. Contract performance guarantees must be granted to the grantor depending on the phase of the project (also see note 45). At the end of the contract term, the infrastructure pursuant to the contract that is essential for airport operations must be returned to the grantor by the operator in the contractually defined operational condition. The operator has the right to have the residual carrying amount of said infrastructure reimbursed by the grantor for a limited period of time. This does not apply if the concession agreement is terminated early. Fraport Annual Report 2021Group Notes / Other Disclosures Fraport Annual Report 2021 Group Notes / Other Disclosures 213 215 Fraport Regional Airports of Greece The two concession agreements, each for the operation of seven Greek regional airports, were signed between Fraport AG and its Greek consortium partner with the Hellenic Republic Asset Development Fund (HRADF) on December 14, 2015. After fulfilling all conditions precedent, the take-over of the operating business of the 14 Greek regional airports took place on April 11, 2017. The initial term of each concession agreement is 40 years. In return for the right to operate the Greek airports, an initial one-time fee of €1,234 million was paid. Initial annual minimum concession payments of €11.3 million per annum for Fraport Greece A and €11.6 million per annum for Fraport Greece B were agreed over the term of the concessions. The minimum concession payments will be adjusted for inflation. In addition, from the beginning of the concession an additional levy of approximately €1 per departing passenger is payable to the grantor for the entire term. According to the concession agreement, from 2021 a variable concession fee of 28.2% of the EBITDA of Fraport Greece A and 28.9% of the EBITDA of Fraport Greece B will also be charged. In connection with the damage caused by the coronavirus pandemic, the Greek Parliament has ratified a compensation agreement for the operational losses incurred over the past year. Depending on passenger development, the compensation is made through the waiver of fixed concession payments and a defer- ment of the variable concession fee, which is also to be paid. Due to the waiver of the fixed concession payments for the years 2019 to 2022, there was a positive effect on other operating income totaling €92.8 million in fiscal year 2021. Furthermore, the consortium partners are obliged to invest in measures to upgrade and expand the airport infrastructure. The construction work was completed in April 2021, as agreed in the concession agreement. In addition, additional capital expenditure for the maintenance of the airports and transport-related capacity expansions will be made in subsequent years. In return, the operator is entitled to charge fees for its services, in particular state-regulated airport charges (passenger, landing, and parking fees) as well as other non-regulated levies related to air traffic and other services. Following the completion of the construction work under the 40-year concession, the charges at the remaining three airports Kos, Santorini, and Thessaloniki were also raised in April 2021 to an average of €18.50 per departing passenger plus local inflation developments, as agreed in the concession agreement. Contract performance guarantees must be granted to the grantor depending on the phase of the project (also see note 45). At the end of the concession term, the operator must return the airports to the grantor, including any capital expenditures made, in a defined and proper operating condition. There will be no consideration given in return. Fraport Brasil Aeroporto de Fortaleza and Fraport Brasil Aeroporto de Porto Alegre The Fraport Group and the Brazilian Government signed concession agreements on July 28, 2017 for the operation and further development of the Brazilian airports of Fortaleza and Porto Alegre. After paying the initial one-off fees, adjusted for inflation, of BRL291.8 million (€73.5 million) for Porto Alegre and BRL426.9 million (€107.5 million) for Fortaleza as well as fulfilling other conditions precedent, the term of the concession agreements of 30 years for Fortaleza Airport and of 25 years for Porto Alegre Airport started at the end of August 2017. The Fraport Group took over operations of both airports on January 2, 2018. In addition to the paid initial concession fees, additional acquisition costs of approximately €54.2 million were incurred by the Fraport Group within the scope of acquiring the concession. In addition to the aforementioned payments, additional fixed minimum concession payments plus inflation-related adjustments in the initial amount of BRL10.4 million for both airports must be made from 2023. Also, an annual variable concession payment of 5% of revenue must be effected. An agreement was again reached with the competent authorities to compensate for the effects associated with the coronavirus pandemic for fiscal year 2021. The resulting reimbursement claim of €26.5 million (previous year: €30.6 million) will also be offset against variable and fixed concession payments due in subsequent years, as well as a temporary increase in airport charges. Fraport Annual Report 2021Group Notes / Other Disclosures 214 216 Group Notes / Other Disclosures Fraport-Annual Report 2021 Furthermore, the concession agreements stipulate investment obligations for the modernization and expansion of the current airport infrastructure as well as construction of new airport infrastructure. These were almost completed in the 2020 fiscal year, in compliance with the budget. After the expansion of the terminal in Porto Alegre was inaugurated at the end of 2019, the terminal expansion in Fortaleza followed in the first quarter of 2020. In addition, the extension of the runway in Fortaleza has been com- pleted. Capital expenditure in the past fiscal year was limited to the bare minimum due to the coronavirus pandemic. In this context, for example, the inauguration of the extended runway in Porto Alegre was postponed to 2022. The companies also laid out other contractually defined standards and obligations relating to the operation, availability, use, and maintenance of the airports. Contract performance guarantees must be granted to the grantor depending on the phase of the project (also see note 45). In return for the right to operate the two airports, the operator is entitled to charge fees for its services, in particular state-regulated airport charges (passenger, landing and parking fees) as well as other non-regulated levies related to air traffic and other services. At the end of the concession term, the operator must return the airport infrastructure to the grantor in a condition that guarantees the proper continued operation of the airports. There will be no consideration given in return. 50 Significant Events after the Balance Sheet Date Subject to conditions precedent, FraSec Fraport Security Services GmbH will transfer 26% of the shares in FraSec Luftsicherheit GmbH to Dr. Sasse Group in a first step, effective January 1, 2022. In a second step, a further 25% will be transferred effective January 1, 2023. From that point on, Dr. Sasse Group will hold a majority stake of 51% in FraSec Luftsicherheit GmbH. Accord- ingly, the assets and liabilities of FraSec Luftsicherheit GmbH will be recorded separately in the statement of financial position as “Non-current assets held for sale” (€4.3 million) and “Liabilities in the context of non-current assets held for sale” (€8.1 million). Due to the increasing escalation of the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the Executive Board of Fraport AG extended the supplementary reporting on March 14, 2022. On February 24, 2022, an invasion of Ukraine by Russian forces began. In response to this invasion, far-reaching European and international sanctions were and are being imposed against Russia, Russian companies, and Russian citizens. The consequences of the military conflict and the sanction measures already imposed are difficult to assess for the Fraport Group at the present time. They depend on the further development of the sanction measures in particular and possible Russian countersanctions. Negative effects on traffic patterns are possible, particularly at the international Group airports with a high proportion of Russian passengers. Against this background, the Executive Board has prepared an updated forecast as of March 14, 2022, which relates to adjustments, in particular, in the sections "Forecast business development 2022" and "Forecast earnings situation 2022". Beyond these adjustments, there are major uncertainties regarding the recoverability of financial assets in the low three-digit million range in connection with the investment in the St. Petersburg Airport operating company. This may have a noticeable negative impact on the development of the asset, financial, and earnings position of the Fraport Group. No further significant events occurred after the balance sheet date for the Fraport Group.

Frankfurt/Main, February 25, 2022 / March 14, 2022 Fraport AG Frankfurt Airport Services Worldwide The Executive Board Dr. Schulte Giesen Müller Dr. Prümm Prof. Dr. Zieschang Fraport Annual Report 2021 Fraport Annual Report 2021 Further Information / Independent Auditor’s Report 227 229 Independent Auditor´s Report To Fraport AG Frankfurt Airport Services Worldwide, Frankfurt am Main Report on the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements and of the Group Management Report Audit Opinions We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Fraport AG Frankfurt Airport Services Worldwide, Frankfurt am Main, and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2021, and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of profit or loss, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the financial year from 1 January to 31 December 2021, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. In addition, we have audited the group management report of Fraport AG Frankfurt Airport Services Worldwide, which is combined with the Company’s management report, for the financial year from 1 January to 31 December 2021. In accordance with the German legal requirements, we have not audited the content of the non-financial statement pursuant to § [Article] 289b Abs. [paragraph] 1 HGB [Handelsgesetzbuch: German Commercial Code] and § 315b Abs. 1 HGB. In our opinion, on the basis of the knowledge obtained in the audit, • • the accompanying consolidated financial statements comply, in all material respects, with the IFRSs as adopted by the EU, and the additional requirements of German commercial law pursuant to § 315e Abs. 1 HGB and, in compliance with these requirements, give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, and financial position of the Group as at 31 Decem- ber 2021, and of its financial performance for the financial year from 1 January to 31 December 2021, and the accompanying group management report as a whole provides an appropriate view of the Group’s position. In all material respects, this group management report is consistent with the consolidated financial statements, complies with German legal requirements and appropriately presents the opportunities and risks of future development. Our audit opinion on the group management report does not cover the content of the non-financial statement referred to above. Pursuant to § 322 Abs. 3 Satz [sentence] 1 HGB, we declare that our audit has not led to any reservations relating to the legal compliance of the consolidated financial statements and of the group management report. Basis for the Audit Opinions We conducted our audit of the consolidated financial statements and of the group management report in accordance with § 317 HGB and the EU Audit Regulation (No. 537/2014, referred to subsequently as “EU Audit Regulation”) in compliance with German Generally Accepted Standards for Financial Statement Audits promulgated by the Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer [Institute of Public Auditors in Germany] (IDW). Our responsibilities under those requirements and principles are further described in the “Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements and of the Group Management Report” section of our auditor’s report. We are independent of the group entities in accordance with the requirements of European law and German commercial and professional law, and we have fulfilled our other German professional responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. In addition, in accordance with Article 10 (2) point (f) of the EU Audit Regulation, we declare that we have not provided non-audit services prohibited under Article 5 (1) of the EU Audit Regulation. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions on the consolidated financial statements and on the group management report. Key Audit Matters in the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements for the financial year from 1 January to 31 December 2021. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our audit opinion thereon; we do not provide a separate audit opinion on these matters. Fraport Annual Report 2021Further Information / Independent Auditor´s Report 228 230 Further Information / Auditor’s Report Fraport Annual Report 2021 In our view, the matters of most significance in our audit were as follows: Recoverability of goodwill and non-current assets ❶ Deferred taxes on deductible temporary differences and on tax loss carryforwards ❷ Our presentation of these key audit matters has been structured in each case as follows: Matter and issue ① ② Audit approach and findings Reference to further information ③ Hereinafter we present the key audit matters: Recoverability of goodwill and non-current assets ❶ In the Company's consolidated financial statements non-current assets in a total amount of EUR 11.6 billion (71,4 % of total assets) are reported under the balance sheet items "Goodwill", "Investments in airport operating projects", “Other intangible ① assets”, “Property, plant and equipment”, “Investment property” and “Investment in companies accounted for using the equity method”. While goodwill must be tested for impairment ("impairment test") on an annual basis and if there are indications that goodwill may be impaired, such a test needs only to be carried out for other non-current assets if there are indications that these assets may be impaired ("triggering events"). The impairment test is performed at the level of the cash-generating units. The carrying amount of the relevant cash-generating unit is compared with the corresponding recoverable amount for the purposes of the impairment test. The calculation of the recoverable amount generally employs the value in use. The present value of the future cash flows from the respective cash-generating unit normally serves as the basis of measurement. The present values are calculated using discounted cash flow models. Within the Fraport Group, this is generally based on the approved medium-term plan (for the 2022 to 2027 financial years). Due to the long-term investment plans at the Frankfurt location, the plans for the cash-generating units in this location are projected on an aggregated level from 2028 to 2030 and then based on assumptions about long-term rates of growth. In cases involving cash-generating units with fixed-term airport concessions, the plans are taken as a basis in line with the term of the respective concession agreements. Expectations relating to future market developments and assumptions about the development of macroeconomic factors as well as the expected effects of the ongoing Corona crisis on the business activities of the Group are also taken into account. The discount rate used is the weighted average cost of capital for the relevant cash-generating unit. The impairment test determined that write-downs in a total amount of EUR 0.9 million were necessary. The outcome of this valuation is dependent on the estimates made by the executive directors with respect to the future cash flows of the respective cash-generating unit, the discount rate used, the rate of growth and other assumptions and is therefore, also against the background of the effects of the Corona crisis, subject to corresponding uncertainty. Against this background and due to the complex nature of the valuation, these matters were of particular significance in the context of our audit. As part of our audit, we evaluated, among other things, the methodology used for the purposes of testing the recoverability of goodwill and non-current assets. After matching the future cash flows used for the calculation against the adopted business plan ② of the Group, we assessed the appropriateness of the calculation, in particular by agreeing it to general and sector-specific market expectations. In this connection, we also evaluated the assessment of the executive directors regarding the effects of the Corona crisis on the business activities of the Group and examined how they were taken into account in determining the future cash flows. We discussed supplementary adjustments to the plan for the purposes of the impairment tests with the departments responsible and evaluated their appropriateness. We also assessed the appropriate consideration of the costs of Group functions. In the knowledge that even relatively small changes in the discount rate applied can have a material impact on the value calculated using this method, we focused our testing in particular on the parameters used to determine the discount rate applied, and as- sessed the calculation model. In order to reflect the uncertainty inherent in the projections, we evaluated the sensitivity analyses performed by the Company and carried out our own additional sensitivity analyses with respect to those cash-generating units with low headroom (recoverable amount compared with the carrying amount). We verified that the necessary disclosures were Fraport Annual Report 2021Further Information / Independent Auditor´s Report Fraport Annual Report 2021 Further Information / Independent Auditor’s Report 229 231 made in the notes to the consolidated financial statements relating to cash-generating units for which a reasonably possible change in an assumption would result in the recoverable amount falling below the carrying amount of the cash-generating units including the allocated goodwill. Overall, the measurement parameters and assumptions used by the executive directors are in line with our expectations and are within the ranges considered by us to be reasonable. The Company's disclosures pertaining to impairment testing are contained in sections 4, 10, 13, 17, 18 and 19 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements. ③ Deferred taxes on deductible temporary differences and on tax loss carryforwards ❷ In the consolidated financial statements of the Company deferred tax assets amounting to EUR 182.6 million after netting are reported. Deferred tax assets amounting to EUR 564.0 million are recognized before netting with matching deferred tax liabilities. ① The deferred tax assets were recognized to the extent that the executive directors consider it probable that taxable profit will be available in the foreseeable future which will enable the deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses carryforwards to be utilized. For this purpose, insofar as sufficient deferred tax liabilities are not available, future taxable profits are projected on the basis of the adopted business plan including the expected effects of the ongoing Corona crisis. From our point of view, the accounting treatment of deferred taxes was of particular significance in the context of our audit, as it depends to a large extent on the estimates and assumptions made by the executive directors and is therefore, also against the background of the effects of the Corona crisis, subject to uncertainties. As part of our audit, we assessed, among other things, the internal processes and controls for recording tax matters as well as the methodology used for the determination, accounting treatment and measurement of deferred taxes. We also assessed the ② recoverability of the deferred tax assets relating to deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses interest carryforwards on the basis of the Company's internal forecasts of its future earnings situation, and the appropriateness of the underlying estimates and assumptions. In this connection, we also evaluated the assessment of the executive directors regarding the effects of the Corona crisis on the business activities of the Company and examined how they were taken into account in determining the future earnings situation. Based on our audit procedures, we were able to satisfy ourselves that the estimates and assumptions made by the executive directors are substantiated and sufficiently documented. The Company’s disclosures pertaining to deferred taxes are contained in sections 4, 15 and 28 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements. ③ Other Information The executive directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the non-financial statement pursuant to § 289b Abs. 1 HGB and § 315b Abs. 1 HGB as an unaudited part of the group management report, which we obtained prior to the date of our auditor’s report. The other information comprises further • • the statement on corporate governance pursuant to § 289f HGB and § 315d HGB, which we obtained prior to the date of our auditor’s report all remaining parts of the annual report, which are expected to be made available to us after the date of the auditor’s report, excluding cross-references to external information – with the exception of the audited consolidated financial statements, the audited group management report and our auditor’s report Our audit opinions on the consolidated financial statements and on the group management report do not cover the other information, and consequently we do not express an audit opinion or any other form of assurance conclusion thereon. Fraport Annual Report 2021Further Information / Independent Auditor´s Report 230 232 Further Information / Auditor’s Report Fraport Annual Report 2021 In connection with our audit, our responsibility is to read the other information mentioned above and, in so doing, to consider whether the other information • • is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements, with the group management report disclosures audited in terms of content or with our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. Responsibilities of the Executive Directors and the Supervisory Board for the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Group Management Report The executive directors are responsible for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements that comply, in all material respects, with IFRSs as adopted by the EU and the additional requirements of German commercial law pursuant to § 315e Abs. 1 HGB and that the consolidated financial statements, in compliance with these requirements, give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position, and financial performance of the Group. In addition the executive directors are responsible for such internal control as they have determined necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the executive directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. They also have the responsibility for disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern. In addition, they are responsible for financial reporting based on the going concern basis of accounting unless there is an intention to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or there is no realistic alternative but to do so. Furthermore, the executive directors are responsible for the preparation of the group management report that, as a whole, provides an appropriate view of the Group’s position and is, in all material respects, consistent with the consolidated financial statements, complies with German legal requirements, and appropriately presents the opportunities and risks of future development. In addi- tion, the executive directors are responsible for such arrangements and measures (systems) as they have considered necessary to enable the preparation of a group management report that is in accordance with the applicable German legal requirements, and to be able to provide sufficient appropriate evidence for the assertions in the group management report. The supervisory board is responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements and of the group management report. Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements and of the Group Management Report Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and whether the group management report as a whole provides an appro- priate view of the Group’s position and, in all material respects, is consistent with the consolidated financial statements and the knowledge obtained in the audit, complies with the German legal requirements and appropriately presents the opportunities and risks of future development, as well as to issue an auditor’s report that includes our audit opinions on the consolidated financial statements and on the group management report. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with § 317 HGB and the EU Audit Regulation and in compliance with German Generally Accepted Standards for Financial Statement Audits promulgated by the Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer (IDW) will always detect a material misstatement. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements and this group management report. Fraport Annual Report 2021Further Information / Independent Auditor´s Report Fraport Annual Report 2021 Further Information / Independent Auditor’s Report 231 233 We exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also: • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements and of the group management report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit of the consolidated financial statements and of arrange- ments and measures (systems) relevant to the audit of the group management report in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an audit opinion on the effectiveness of these systems. • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used by the executive directors and the reasonableness of estimates made by the executive directors and related disclosures. • Conclude on the appropriateness of the executive directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in the auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements and in the group management report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our respective audit opinions. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to be able to continue as a going concern. • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements present the underlying transactions and events in a manner that the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and financial performance of the Group in compliance with IFRSs as adopted by the EU and the additional requirements of German commercial law pursuant to § 315e Abs. 1 HGB. • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express audit opinions on the consolidated financial statements and on the group management report. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinions. • Evaluate the consistency of the group management report with the consolidated financial statements, its conformity with German law, and the view of the Group’s position it provides. • Perform audit procedures on the prospective information presented by the executive directors in the group management report. On the basis of sufficient appropriate audit evidence we evaluate, in particular, the significant assumptions used by the executive directors as a basis for the prospective information, and evaluate the proper derivation of the prospective information from these assumptions. We do not express a separate audit opinion on the prospective information and on the assumptions used as a basis. There is a substantial unavoidable risk that future events will differ materially from the prospective information. Fraport Annual Report 2021Further Information / Independent Auditor´s Report 232 234 Further Information / Auditor’s Report Fraport Annual Report 2021 We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with the relevant independence require- ments, and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, the related safeguards. From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter.

Fraport Annual Report 2021 236 238 Further Information / Independent Practitioner´s Report Further Information / Auditor’s Report Fraport Annual Report 2021 Responsibility of the Assurance Practitioner Our responsibility is to express a conclusion with limited assurance on the Combined Non-financial Statement based on our assurance engagement. We conducted our assurance engagement in accordance with International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3000 (Revised): Assurance Engagements other than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information, issued by the IAASB. This Standard requires that we plan and perform the assurance engagement to obtain limited assurance about whether any matters have come to our attention that cause us to believe that the Company’s Combined Non-financial Statement, other than the external sources of documentation or expert opinions mentioned in the Combined Non-financial Statement, are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with §§ 315c in conjunction with 289c to 289e HGB and the EU Taxonomy Regulation and the Delegated Acts issued thereunder as well as the interpretation by the executive directors disclosed in section ‘Information on the EU Taxon- omy Regulation’ of the Combined Non-financial Statement. In a limited assurance engagement, the procedures performed are less extensive than in a reasonable assurance engagement, and accordingly a substantially lower level of assurance is obtained. The selection of the assurance procedures is subject to the professional judgement of the assurance practitioner. In the course of our assurance engagement, we have, amongst other things, performed the following assurance procedures and other activities: > Gain an understanding of the structure of the Group’s sustainability organisation and stakeholder engagement > Inquiries of the executive directors and relevant employees involved in the preparation of the Combined Non-financial Statement about the preparation process, about the internal control system relating to this process and about disclosures in the Combined Non-financial Statement > Identification of likely risks of material misstatement in the Combined Non-financial Statement > Analytical procedures on selected disclosures in the Combined Non-financial Statement > Reconciliation of selected disclosures with the corresponding data in the consolidated financial statements and in the combined management report > Evaluation of the presentation of the Combined Non-financial Statement > Evaluation of the process to identify taxonomy-eligible economic activities and the corresponding disclosures in the Combined Non-financial Statement > Inquiries on the relevance of climate-risks In determining the disclosures in accordance with Article 8 of the EU Taxonomy Regulation, the executive directors are required to interpret undefined legal terms. Due to the immanent risk that undefined legal terms may be interpreted differently, the legal conformity of their interpretation and, accordingly, our assurance engagement thereon are subject to uncertainties. Assurance Opinion Based on the assurance procedures performed and evidence obtained, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Combined Non-financial Statement of the Company for the period from 1 January to 31 December 2021 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with §§ 315c in conjunction with 289c to 289e HGB and the EU Taxonomy Regulation and the Delegated Acts issued thereunder as well as the interpretation by the executive directors disclosed in section ‘Information on the EU Taxonomy Regulation’ of the Combined Non-financial Statement. We do not express an assurance opinion on the external sources of documentation or expert opinions mentioned in the Combined Non-financial Statement.
