INTERVIEW WITH SEBASTIAN EBEL

In 2022 TUI put the Covid crisis of recent years behind it. 
Last year‘s positive development brings momentum for  
the future – even in times of geopolitical and macroeconomic 
challenges. Today the Group is leaner and more efficient 
than ever. Sebastian Ebel, Chief Executive Officer since  
October 2022, tells us where the company is now placing 
the focus and what he expects for the future.

In the completed financial year 2022, TUI put the Covid crisis 
of the last few years behind it. You were heavily involved in  
that crucial period as CFO and since the start of October you 
have been Group CEO. How should we rate this financial year 
for TUI?
Basically we didn’t really kick off operationally until the summer  
began. The first six months were still very much under the influence 
of the Covid restrictions. There is also Russia’s war of aggression 
against Ukraine. But in summer we got off to a great start. It was a 
strong Summer season for us, especially in the fourth quarter. In  
Q4 our adjusted earnings hit the billion euro mark. Taking the year as 
a whole, our figures are significantly in the black, with € 409 million in 
adjusted EBIT. We announced that we would do that and we delivered. 
Apart from that, our finances are solid and we had a strong cash  
flow, so in summer we didn’t have to draw on the KfW credit facility 
either. That positive development gives us strong momentum for the 
future, even in times that are going to stay challenging for geopolitical 
and macroeconomic reasons. We are entering a new phase for TUI. 
The strategy is in place – and now we are going to implement it. We 
want to grow profitably again. 

But the German government is still engaged with TUI via finan-
cial assistance in various forms, with a Silent Participation,  
a warrant bond and credit lines amounting to about two billion 
euros. How much crisis does TUI still need to work off?
We have surmounted the existential crisis, it’s behind us. Of course, 
we still have homework to do as a consequence of the pandemic, further 
cutting our debt, refinancing, strengthening the balance sheet. But 
our operational focus is set clearly on returning to profitable growth. We 
are gradually pruning back the state engagement – the agreement 
with the ESF and the planned capital increase to follow the AGM are 
the next logical steps back to normality and complete financial  
independence. The pandemic confronted the whole sector with the 
crisis of a century and without those government bail-out packages 
TUI would hardly have survived. We are grateful for that support. 
However, if you look at how much we actually drew down from those 
packages, you can see that we have come through the crisis in robust 
shape. The credit lines are like a bank overdraft – you can make use  
of it but you don’t have to. Whatever happens, it gives you extra security 
in a difficult situation. TUI didn’t receive any gifts from the state.  
We pay interest on any drawdowns. In the end, the engagement paid 
off well for the public budget and the taxpayer. By the end of our  

financial year alone, the German government has received around 
€ 300 million in interest from us.

Let’s take another look back. Summer turned out much  
better than originally expected. But not every player in tourism 
was ready for that …
All of us – TUI, hotels, cruise lines, airlines and many other partners – 
have a fantastic mission: our customers trust us with the best time of 
their year. We get to design their holiday and to accompany them. I’ve  
been in tourism for many years now, and to me that still feels like a 
particular privilege. It motivates me afresh each day. But naturally  
it also brings responsibility. This summer, unfortunately, not all our 
partners were equally well prepared for the travel period. The over-
whelming majority of TUI holidays ran smoothly for our guests but 
there were a few dissatisfied customers. In the UK, for example, at the 
start of the Summer season there was disruption to almost 4 % of  
our flight schedule. Bottlenecks were the ground handling services and 
security checks at airports. The latter task is run by the state, but  
it needs to invest in more people and new technology and put them to 
good use. Quite rightly, our customers have great expectations of 
their holiday experience with TUI. And our ambition is not just to meet 
those great expectations but to surpass them. I am sorry that this 
summer we didn’t always manage to do that. Our teams made up for 
a lot. Our staff demonstrated the true TUI spirit so as to keep the  
impact to a minimum for customers. That’s why I want to extend a warm 
thank you at this point to our colleagues who gave their all for our 
customers over the summer, often in adverse circumstances – whether 
in the travel agencies, in the call centres, at the airports, on board  
our planes and ships, locally in our hotels and destinations, or in other 
fields.

Let’s talk about your new role. What were the first things  
you did as the new CEO of TUI? What will stay the same and 
what will be different under Sebastian Ebel?
TUI was a very successful company before Covid. We had built up a 
highly successful commercial hotel and cruise business and expanded 
hugely. The number of hotels we run under our own TUI hotel 
brands has risen in the last nine years from nearly 200 to about 400. 
TUI invested capital and paid handsome dividends. We were an 
 attractive investment and we will be again. No company can make pro-
vision for its business being put completely on hold for two years. 
Really, we should have been able to see the success of our truly mas-

sive transformation reflected in our business data for 2019 and 2020. 
But then we had first of all the temporary suspension of the Boeing 
737 Max in 2019 and then in 2020 the pandemic. We used the pandemic 
to set ourselves up as solidly as possible for the time to come. Today 
TUI is leaner and more efficient than ever. The aim now is to implement 
the measures we agreed on properly and very swiftly. That’s where my 
focus lies, that’s where our focus lies as a team. 

Where is the growth to come from – existing business areas  
or new ones?
Both. In the Markets & Airline segment we plan to gain market share. 
Our product portfolio will expand significantly. The classic package  
tour is becoming more diverse and more flexible. We do “dynamic”

packaging by combining cheap flights with available hotels, even at 
short notice. That way we can create new products that people didn’t 
tend to come to TUI for in the past, like city breaks. In addition, we 
will be offering certain travel products as stand-alones, such as hotel 
stays, flights, car hire, but also, of course, the activities and experiences 
provided by TUI Musement. That includes excursions in a holiday  
destination, but also, for example, tickets for a local museum. The  
formula is: new products, additional customers, increasing market share. 
For customers that means more choice, more personalised options  
and greater flexibility. TUI will be their partner for holidays, leisure and  
experiences – not only when they are travelling, but in their home 
countries too.

Reading the strategy section in this Annual Report, the concept 
“holiday experiences” crops up a lot. What does it mean and 
what are your plans for that segment?
I was personally in charge of those activities until I took over as TUI’s 
CFO in 2020, so I was able to forge them into a growth segment for 
TUI together with the teams from Hotels, Cruises and Musement. What 
we do there is pool all the holiday experiences “made by TUI” – our 
Hotels & Resorts, our cruise liners and the tours, excursions and  
activities that we create and curate in the destinations. So this is where 
we design the unique TUI holiday experience for our guests. The  
aim is to expand this differentiated product portfolio with our strong 
brands. In the last ten years the segment has come on extremely  
well and now it is one of the growth drivers in the Group. We intend 
to build on that. Unique holiday products combined with the distri-
bution power in our source markets – online and in the travel agencies: 
in future that will be the basis for our profitable growth.

How does that work with TUI hotels?
In the Hotels & Resorts segment we want to carry on growing – both 
with the successful hotel brands we already have and by launching 
new brands to broaden our portfolio further. We are looking at desti-
nations where we already operate – but also of course at places 
where there are no TUI hotels yet. This growth is based on what we 
call our asset-right approach, which means that we don’t have to  
actually own the real estate in order to manage a TUI hotel successfully. 
We are building on our portfolio by means of our joint ventures, the  
recently created TUI Global Hotel Fund and the expansion we are pur-
suing along with management and franchise partners. TUI should  
develop as other big hotel chains are doing. Hilton, Marriott and Hyatt, 

for example, don’t usually own the hotel buildings. They design and 
manage hotel brands, hotel experiences. That is the skill that we and 
our partners bring.

And in cruises?
We are growing there too, especially with the new vessels that have 
been announced by our very successful joint venture TUI Cruises. 
Those investments, by the way, were agreed before the pandemic.  
At the same time we want to rejuvenate the British Marella fleet  
and to cap it all we will use a multi-channel distribution strategy to 
boost the earnings and occupancy rate of all our liners.

A portfolio of hotels and ships can be expanded by acquiring 
new assets, but what about TUI Musement? Where does the 
growth come from there?
Experiences are a global trend – people want to experience things 
rather than own things. We can offer our customers an infinite number 
of experiences and activities – while they are travelling of course, but  
at home too. From an evening at a musical or a visit to a museum to a 
family outing at a theme park or an e-bike tour in their own town. 
With its digital platform TUI Musement will be building hugely on its 
range of products so that it can cater for the growing customer  
demand for experiences. TUI Musement will be a partner at the holiday 
destination, just like at home. Take leisure activities: TUI Musement  
will have attractive products to offer on 365 days of the year, not just 
during the fortnight spent on holiday. 

You also want to take more care of customers in future, to 
place them more centre stage?
They already are centre stage. After all, we sell them unique experiences, 
their “best time of the year”. That is the core of our brand. But we  
can personalise things more and make them more user-friendly by 
simplifying the customer experience in the digital sphere – for example, 
by giving people a single customer account, harmonising the pay-
ment procedure and pitching all our TUI products together, including 
flights and hotels. The linchpin of all this is our TUI App. This one-
stop customer management system enables us to link our strengths 
across all segments and generate additional growth. That enhances  
the customer experience – and with it the business. It is a win-win  
situation. That is a focus. In future our work will be app-centred: one 
app, one click, but with the full diversity of our product and brand 
universe.

“I value a culture  
of open exchange.

to also deliver. We

TUI is a people business. You sell experiences, special moments. 
And there are always real people behind that to make it  
happen, TUI people. What role do they play in implementing  
the Group strategy?
The team makes the difference – our people are key to TUI’s success. 
Customers don’t deal with “TUI” or with management. Customers  
experience TUI through our employees in distribution, on the plane, 
on the ship, at the hotel or during the excursion, or through the  
local reps in our destinations. They are the hosts who define our cus-
tomers’ holidays. And they do that with passion and tremendous 
commitment. That’s why it matters to me that we make it clear who 
we want to be as a company and what it means to work for TUI.  
It’s about culture, diversity, opportunities, and even the way we work. 
That includes mobile and flexible working, the right technical  
equipment. But also “TUI Workwide”: people in roles that allow for  
it can spend up to 30 days a year working from another country.  
It’s been a success story for us: more than 1,000 TUI employees have 
already spent 14,500 days working from abroad. It creates better  
understanding for other cultures and countries and often makes it 
easier to reconcile family and career. The modern world of work relies 
more than anything on a culture of trust. That is also the basis for 
“TUI Workwide”.

Another important aspect is diversity ... 
… and that means a lot to me! Our employees can “come as they are” 
at TUI. They are confirming that to us in the surveys. Contributing  
different perspectives and accepting them might perhaps be harder 
work, but it broadens our horizons and results in novel solutions,  
often much better ones. We must make good use of that potential.

You yourself raise the issue of sustainability at almost every 
meeting. Do you think TUI is lagging behind?
For years now TUI has been a pioneer on sustainability. But it isn’t 
enough to rest on your laurels because the challenges are getting bigger 
too. We have to break out of the vicious circle whereby growth  
means more emissions. We have set ourselves ambitious targets for 
every segment, we have committed to the Science-Based Target  
Initiative and we will provide regular, transparent progress reports. In 
some areas, such as our hotels and office buildings, we will achieve 
our goal of cutting carbon emissions quickly. Technology is advancing 
fast here. At our new TUI Campus in Hanover, for example, we will 
generate most of our power from photovoltaics. That investment will 
pay off within very few years. The sustainability goals that we have 

defined for ourselves will require effort, but we will achieve them. The 
important thing is to tackle the challenge with determination and take 
a holistic view of sustainability in all its dimensions – environmental, 
social and economic. For us sustainable transformation is not a threat 
but an opportunity. 

How are you going about this sustainable change? Can you give 
us an example?
On Rhodes we are currently working on the blueprint for a sustainable 
destination together with the South Aegean administration and  
the TUI Care Foundation. We are already getting enquiries from other 
destinations. They often refer to the formal or legislative framework, 
Green Deal, Paris Agreement, rules, requirements. But is that the only 
reason we are doing it? No, it’s a matter of conviction, attitude. We 
have to recognise that more sustainability and the path to climate 
neutrality present genuine opportunities. We are working on that in the 
company. That’s also why I want us to fulfil our targets ahead of the 
required date. 2050 is definitively too late.

Every CEO fosters a personal style of leadership. How do  
you go about winning people for the journey? And what do you 
expect from your crew?
I think it’s important to give people space and the right resources for 
their project. Naturally, that comes together with a duty to meet  
targets as effectively as possible or to speak up if something can’t be 
achieved as planned. A red light on a project dashboard is only a 
problem if people don’t talk about it and put their heads together to 
set it right. I value a culture of open exchange. But I believe it is equally  
important to also deliver. We must deliver on what we promise. Strat-
egies are fine but implementation is the key to success.

How optimistic are you looking ahead?
Summer 2022 was very encouraging. Even though the restrictions were 
lifted late, our bookings were at a good 90 per cent of the 2019 level, 
so almost the volume we had before the pandemic, while our average 
earnings were significantly higher. We can see the same trend for  
Winter. Travelling means a lot to people. The figures show that our 
model is intact. We have defined the growth areas. We have a clear 
strategy and we are putting it into practice. For many years I held an 
office in professional football and in a recent interview with a daily 
newspaper I put it like this: It is far cooler to win than to draw or lose. 
Or to quote the claim coined by our HR Director: Let’s TUI it!

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
Dear Shareholders,

After two and a half very challenging years in the wake of the global COVID-19 pandemic, the past financial 
year was marked by a recovery of our business. As a result, we were finally able to report a positive operating 
result again.

STATEMENTS AND NOTES

Right  at  the  beginning  of  the  year,  we  completed  another  capital  increase  and  thus  took  a  step  towards 
strengthening our balance sheet structure. Together with continued strict cost discipline and targeted working 
capital management, our liquidity profile improved significantly. This was also rewarded by the rating agencies 
with an upgrade in each case. However, this alone was not enough, and we were able to take another important 
step  towards  the  refinancing  of  the  Group  with  the  placement  of  a  second  capital  increase  in  May  2022. 
Overall, we have not only significantly reduced debt but also repaid part of the government stabilisation funding. 

The pandemic repeatedly posed operational challenges for us with new virus variants and rising incidence 
rates. Although the general conditions for tourism have increasingly improved, positive booking developments 
were  repeatedly  affected  by  the  pandemic  at  short  notice.  Vaccination  campaigns  in  source  markets  and 
destinations continued to progress and customers showed a high interest in and a significant pent-up demand 
for travel. The booking momentum, in particular for the Summer 2022 programme, reflected the trust of our 
customers in the quality and reliability of our service and the TUI brand. We consistently aligned our products 
and services with the needs of our customers, who continued to book their holidays at shorter notice and 
wanted a high degree of flexibility. As a result, we were able to complete a Summer 2022 programme that 
almost matched the pre-pandemic level of 2019. 

The clear pent-up demand for holidays was very pleasing. But the tight situation in the labour markets also 
repeatedly posed challenges for the tourism industry to cover these in the completed financial year. In spring 
and summer 2022, disruptions in flight operations dominated the headlines, especially at numerous airports 
in the source markets. Staff shortages in ground handling and security personnel or breakdowns at third-party 
providers were among the reasons why departures were delayed or had to be cancelled. TUI was affected, 
too, and took immediate action to minimise the impact on customers. In particular, the focus was on avoiding 
cancellations.

The booking development was largely unaffected by the war in Ukraine. Nevertheless, the situation had an 
impact on our Group: Our long-standing major shareholder Mr Alexey Mordashov was added to the list of 
natural and legal persons affected by the EU sanctions on 28 February 2022. As a consequence, Mr Alexey 
Mordashov resigned from the Supervisory Board of TUI AG on 2 March 2022. He had been elected to the 
Supervisory Board in 2016 and was also a member of the Presiding Committee, the Nomination Committee 
and the Strategy Committee. In addition, Mr Vladimir Lukin resigned from the Supervisory Board of TUI AG 
with immediate effect on 3 March 2022. Mr Vladimir Lukin had been a member of our Supervisory Board 
since 2019 and was a member of the Audit Committee and the Strategy Committee. The Supervisory Board 
immediately dealt with filling the vacancies that had arisen and was able to recruit excellent candidates for 
the Group in Ms Helena Murano and Mr Christian Baier, who have enriched the work of TUI’s Supervisory 
Board with their expertise and experience since their appointment by court order on 31 May 2022. Both will 
be  proposed  for  election  to  the  Supervisory  Board  at  the  next  Annual  General  Meeting.  In  addition, 
Ms Carola Schwirn had resigned from her mandate as ver.di trade union representative with effect from the 
end of 28 February 2022. Ms Sonja Austermühle was nominated as her successor and appointed by court 
order on 1 April 2022.

In June, our CEO Mr Friedrich Joussen decided to exercise his right of resignation. This had been granted to 
him  in  connection  with  the  implementation  of  the  conditions  of  the  COVID-19  stabilisation  measures  in 
September 2020. The Presiding Committee and also the Supervisory Board had dealt with the succession in 
time, so that Mr Friedrich Joussen was able to hand over the chairmanship of the Executive Board to the 
current Chief Financial Officer Mr Sebastian Ebel as of 1 October 2022 after around ten years at the helm of 
the Group. We are extremely grateful to Mr Friedrich Joussen for his commitment and the trusting cooper-
ation over the past years. The merger with TUI Travel, the transformation of the Company into an integrated 
tourism group and the very good crisis management in the pandemic years will be associated with the name 
of  Mr  Friedrich  Joussen.  We  wish  the  new  CEO  Mr  Sebastian  Ebel  all  the  very  best  for  his  task.  We  are 
convinced that his entrepreneurial and strategic approach makes him an excellent choice for the new start 
after the COVID-19 pandemic. The same applies to our new CFO Mr Mathias Kiep, who played a central role 
in the crisis team during the pandemic and made an important contribution to reducing debt and refinancing 
the Group. 

Before I move on to the Report of the Supervisory Board, I would like to thank you, dear shareholders, most 
sincerely on behalf of the entire Supervisory Board. In the completed financial year, you again expressed 
your support and confidence in TUI. In particular, by approving the renewal of the capital resolutions at the 
Annual General Meeting in February 2022, you have provided management with the necessary flexibility to 
be able to act at any time in a challenging environment. 

2022 was a very important financial year for overcoming the COVID-19 crisis and it was the first year since 
the outbreak of the pandemic with a clearly positive operating result. It is now important to consistently 
continue on the path we have chosen and to react flexibly to the challenges ahead as an integrated tourism 
group and digital platform company. We have made good use of the pandemic years and are well positioned 
to return to the growth path with a further strengthening of the balance sheet and clear ambitions in terms 
of product, service and profitable growth of the business segments.

Cooperation between the Supervisory Board and the Executive Board

The Executive Board and the Supervisory Board are closely guided by the principles of responsible and good 
corporate governance and work together in a spirit of trust in accordance with the principles set out in the 
Corporate Governance Report (page 107). In doing so, the Supervisory Board has primarily monitored the 
lawfulness, regularity, expediency and efficiency of the management and the Executive Board, with a significant 
focus on managing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Further details can be found in the report below.

The Executive Board kept us regularly, promptly and comprehensively informed by means of written and 
oral reports at and between meetings. The reports included all relevant information on the development and 
implementation of strategic goals, liquidity development, planning, business development during the year 
and the situation of the Group, the risk situation and risk management, compliance, but also reports from 
the capital markets (e. g. from analysts) and the press. In financial year 2022, the focus was on the ongoing 
management of the challenges related to the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated structural and financial 
consequences. The impact of the sanctioning of a strategic investor and the implications of the significant 
increase in inflation in the source markets and destinations were also the subject of discussion. The Super-
visory Board was involved in all decisions of fundamental importance to the Company in a timely manner. 
We passed the resolutions required by law, the Articles of Association or the Rules of Procedure after thor-
ough consultation. For this purpose, we regularly prepared ourselves on the basis of documents that the 
Executive Board made available to the Supervisory Board and the committees in advance. The Executive 
Board also informed the Supervisory Board immediately about urgent issues in writing and at extraordinary 
meetings convened at short notice. As Chairman of the Supervisory Board, I was also regularly informed by 
the  Executive  Board  about  the  current  business  situation  and  important  business  transactions  in  the 
company outside of the Supervisory Board meetings.

Deliberations in the Supervisory Board and its Committees

Prior to the Supervisory Board meetings, the shareholder and employee representatives met in separate 
preparatory meetings. Members of the Executive Board also regularly participated in these meetings. 
Discussions of Executive Board and Supervisory Board matters take place without the members of the 
Executive Board, unless otherwise requested by the members of the Supervisory Board. All members of the 
Supervisory Board may also submit to the Chairman of the Supervisory Board the need to discuss an item 
on the agenda without the presence of the Executive Board. In addition, the agenda of each meeting of the 
Supervisory Board provides for a separate agenda item, irrespective of the topic, for which the members of 
the Executive Board are not present. Members of the Supervisory Board may raise all topics to be discussed 
without the Executive Board within the scope of this agenda item.

STATEMENTS AND NOTES

In addition to the plenum, a total of four committees were in place in the past financial year: the Presiding 
Committee, the Audit Committee, the Strategy Committee and the Nomination Committee. At its meeting 
in September 2022, the Supervisory Board decided to deal with strategy issues only in the plenary in future 
and  to  dissolve  the  Strategy  Committee  at  the  end  of  financial  year 2022  accordingly.  The  Mediation 
Committee to be formed in accordance with Section 27 (3) of the German Co-determination Act did not 
have to meet. The chairpersons of the committees report regularly and in detail on their work at the 
ordinary meetings of the Supervisory Board. A Transaction Committee set up by the Supervisory Board and 
consisting of Dr Zetsche, Mr Jakobi and Prof. Dr Ernst met in connection with the use of financing instru-
ments. This made it possible to pass resolutions at very short notice within the framework granted by the 
Supervisory Board, insofar as this was necessary. All documents and the minutes of the Transaction Com-
mittee meetings were always accessible to all members of the Supervisory Board. In addition, the meetings 
were reported on at the respective subsequent Supervisory Board meetings. No additional remuneration or 
attendance fees were paid for the meetings of the Transaction Committee. 

Despite the numerous meetings, we were able to record a consistently high attendance rate at our deliber-
ations  in  financial  year  2022,  as  in  previous  years.  Attendance  at  the  plenary  meetings  averaged  96.3 % 
(previous year 95.0 %) and at the committee meetings 98.7 % (previous year 98.6 %). The vast majority of 
the members of the Supervisory Board participated in all meetings of the Supervisory Board in financial 
year 2022 and in the committee meetings in accordance with their respective membership. Members who 
were unable to attend the meetings generally participated in the resolutions by sending proxy votes. The 
timely distribution of documents by the Executive Board in advance of the meetings and the almost universal 
avoidance of handouts made the preparation of the meetings much easier for the members of the Super-
visory Board. Against the background of the COVID-19 pandemic, some Supervisory Board and committee 
meetings were also held as video conferences. The video format was also used to ensure the availability of 
Supervisory Board members for meetings scheduled at short notice. The exact distribution of in-person and 
video conference meetings can be seen in the table below. 

In addition to the members of the Supervisory Board, the ESF also exercised its right to participate as a 
guest at the meetings of the Supervisory Board and its committees after the second framework agreement 
was concluded in January 2021, insofar as there was a relevant interest in accordance with the framework 
agreement. After the election of Dr Dönges as a member of the Supervisory Board, this guest right was 
exercised by individual representatives of the Finance Agency of the Federal Republic of Germany.

Main topics of the Supervisory Board’s work

The Supervisory Board held seven meetings. Of these, two were held as in-person meetings, while five were 
held as video conferences. Furthermore, the respectively established Transaction Committees of the Super-
visory Board met three times, and two additional resolutions were passed by circular resolution. The following 
main points were the subject of the individual meetings:

1. 

 At its meeting on 6 October 2021, the Transaction Committee, established by the Supervisory Board, 
approved the implementation of a capital increase.

2. 

3. 

 At its meeting on 6 October 2021, the Supervisory Board first reviewed the past financial year. In addition, 
the Supervisory Board was informed about the implementation of a capital increase with subscription 
rights  and  received  a  report  from  the  Transaction  Committee.  Furthermore,  the  Supervisory  Board 
 received an update on the current situation in the Group-owned airlines. Against the background of the 
remuneration  restrictions,  the  Supervisory  Board  also  decided  to  waive  the  determination  of  the 
individual  performance  factor  of  the  members  of  the  Executive  Board  for  the  annual  performance- 
related remuneration of financial year 2021. The Supervisory Board also received a report on the initiation 
of a Hotel Fund.

 The meeting on 7 December 2021 initially included a discussion of the financial statements of the Group 
and TUI AG, each of which had obtained an unqualified audit certificate by the auditors, and the com-
bined Management Report for the Group. The Executive Board and the auditors were also present. The 
Audit Committee had already dealt with these reports in detail on the previous day and also had the 
opportunity to consult with the auditor without the Executive Board. We then approved the financial 
statements prepared by the Executive Board and the combined Management Report for TUI AG and the 
Group.  The  annual  financial  statements  for 2021  were  thus  adopted.  The  Supervisory  Board  also 
approved the Report of the Supervisory Board, the Corporate Governance Report and the Remuneration 
Report.  In  addition,  the  declarations  of  compliance  with  the  German  and  UK  Corporate  Governance 
Codes and the proposal to the Annual General Meeting to engage Deloitte GmbH Wirtschaftsprüfungs-
gesellschaft  for  the  2022  half-year  and  annual  financial  statements  were  adopted.  The  Supervisory 
Board also approved the agenda for the Annual General Meeting on 8 February 2022 and, due to the 
pandemic, decided to hold it virtually. Furthermore, the Personnel and Social Report was the subject of 
this meeting and we received an update regarding the D&O insurance. In addition, the Supervisory Board 
again dealt with the Hotel Fund. 

4. 

 By circular resolution on 20 January 2022, the Supervisory Board approved the sale of a joint venture.

5. 

 The meeting of 7 February 2022 included explanations on the quarterly report and quarterly financial 
report. In this context, the Executive Board gave an overview of the current accounting situation. Other 
topics  included  the  liquidity  development  and  various  long-term  financing  options  for  the  Group.  In 
addition to preparing for the Annual General Meeting on 8 February 2022, the Supervisory Board was 
also  informed  about  the  progress  made  in  connection  with  the  internal  efficiency  and  cost  savings 
programme.

6. 

 By circular resolution on 4 March 2022, the Supervisory Board approved an editorial amendment to the 
Articles of Association as a result of the implementation of the Annual General Meeting resolutions. 

7. 

8. 

 The extraordinary meeting on 8 March 2022 dealt with the direct impact of the Russia-Ukraine conflict 
on TUI AG. The changes in the Supervisory Board due to the resignations of Mr Mordashov and Mr Lukin 
were discussed. The meeting also dealt with the consequences for TUI under sanctions law resulting from 
the asset freeze and the prohibition to make funds or economic resources available. In addition, the 
Executive Board provided an overview of the current booking situation and an update on key earnings 
figures for the current financial year. 

 At the meeting on 10 May 2022, the Executive Board explained the report on the current financial year, 
on the quarterly financial statements and on the first half of 2022, which the Audit Committee had 
already dealt with on the previous day. In addition, the Executive Board gave an overview of the current 
liquidity development and financial recovery. Other key topics of the meeting were an update on the 
sustainability strategy and the HR strategy as well as the process, timetable and potential volume of a 
potential capital increase excluding subscription rights with the aim of repaying further state support. 
The Supervisory Board approved the latter in principle and set up a Transaction Committee. In addition, 
the Supervisory Board dealt with the specifications for determining the performance criteria of the indi-
vidual performance factor of the annual performance remuneration for financial year 2023 subject to the 
application of the remuneration restrictions, after the Presiding Committee had already discussed the 
topic.  In  addition,  the  Supervisory  Board  dealt  with  succession  planning  in  the  context  of  Executive 
Board matters. In addition, two new members constituting shareholder representatives on the Super-
visory Board, Mr Baier and Ms Murano, were proposed for election to the Supervisory Board as successors 
to Mr Mordashov and Mr Lukin, with the Executive Board being asked to submit the application for court 
appointment to the competent local court by the end of the 2023 Annual General Meeting. In addition, 
the vacancies on the Presiding, Nomination, Audit and Mediation Committees of the Supervisory Board 
as a result of the resignations of Mr Mordashov, Mr Lukin and Ms Schwirn were filled. 

9. 

 At its meetings on 16 and 17 May 2022, the Transaction Committee approved the measures required for 
the placement of the capital increase and the implementation within the scope of its authority assigned 
by the Supervisory Board. 

10.  At its meeting on 27 June 2022, the Supervisory Board, following the execution of Mr Joussen right to 
resign, decided on the appointment of Mr Ebel as Chief Executive Officer and Mr Kiep as Chief Financial 
Officer, both with effect from 1 October 2022. The Supervisory Board also approved the early extension 
of Mr Burling’s contract as CEO Markets & Airlines. Furthermore, the Supervisory Board was informed 
about  the  operational  challenges  at  British  and  European  airports  and  the  associated  effects  on  the 
Group as well as possible mitigation measures. 

11.   At its strategy meeting on 14 September 2022, the Supervisory Board received an update on the strategic 
orientation and developments in the individual company segments. There was also a discussion on the 
People Strategy and an ESG update.

 On the second day of its regular meeting on 15 September 2022, the Supervisory Board received an 
update on the liquidity and financial profile of the Group. In addition, the Board approved the budget for 
the coming financial year and the three-year plan and took note of the report on security, health and 
safety. In addition, the Supervisory Board discussed, among other things, the amended business alloca-
tion plan and resolved on the target values for the annual performance-related remuneration for the 
following  financial  year  subject  to  the  application  of  the  remuneration  restrictions.  The  Supervisory 
Board discussed the determination of the performance criteria for individual performance, the perform-
ance  of  the  entire  Executive  Board  and  the  achievement  of  stakeholder  goals  and  their  weighting  in 
relation to each other for the following financial year. Other topics included the review of the appropri-
ateness of Executive Board remuneration and pensions as well as Supervisory Board remuneration, an 
update on the new version of the German Corporate Governance Code, especially with regard to the 
competence profile and qualification matrix, and the dissolution of the Strategy Committee as per 
30 September 2022. 

Presiding Committee

The Presiding Committee is responsible for Executive Board matters (including succession planning, appoint-
ments, terms of employment contracts, remuneration, proposals on the remuneration system), which in this 
function  corresponds  to  a  remuneration  committee.  In  addition,  the  Presiding  Committee  prepares  the 
meetings of the Supervisory Board. In the reporting period, six meetings were held. Of these, two were held 
as in-person meetings, while four were held as video conferences.

 At the meeting on 6 October 2021, the Presiding Committee primarily dealt with Executive Board matters. 
The Presiding Committee recommended that the individual performance factors for the Executive Board 
be waived for financial year 2021 against the background of the remuneration restrictions. 

 On 7 December 2021, the preparation of the Annual General Meeting 2022 was the subject of the meeting. 
The Presiding Committee dealt in particular with the various capital reserve resolutions on the agenda.

HR strategy. In addition, the Presiding Committee discussed the specifications for determining the per-
formance criteria of the individual performance factor of the annual performance-related remuneration 
for financial year 2023. Furthermore, the succession in the context of Executive Board matters was dis-
cussed.  Furthermore,  the  Presiding  Committee  passed  resolutions  recommending  to  the  Supervisory 
Board to fill the vacant seats on the Supervisory Board and its committees due to the resignations of 
Mr Mordashov and Mr Lukin. 

 At the meeting on the evening of 23 June 2022, recommendations were made for resolutions in the event 
of Mr Joussen’s resignation in the context of the succession planning. Furthermore, a resolution recom-
mendation was made for the possible early extension of Mr Burling’s appointment in the event that he 
did not exercise his right to resign. 

 On 13 September 2022, the Presiding Committee discussed the determination of the target total remu-
neration of the members of the Executive Board as well as the target values of the annual perform-
ance-related remuneration for financial year 2023. The performance criteria for the individual perform-
ance of the Executive Board, which is always also based on ESG criteria, was also discussed in preparation 
for the Supervisory Board meeting. In addition, the appropriateness of both Executive Board remuner-
ation and pensions as well as Supervisory Board remuneration was discussed and an update on the new 
version of the German Corporate Governance Code was discussed, especially with regard to the compe-
tence profile and qualification matrix and the dissolution of the Strategy Committee at the end of the

STATEMENTS AND NOTES

At its meeting on 10 May 2022, the Nomination Committee dealt with the proposed resolution for the nom-
ination of Mr Baier and Ms Murano (shareholder representatives) for court appointment to the Supervisory 
Board following the resignations of Mr Mordashov and Mr Lukin. 

had declared in the framework of the merger that it would comply with both the German Corporate Governance 
Code (GCGC) and – to the extent practicable – the UK Corporate Governance Code (UK CGC).

S T R AT E G Y   C O M M I T T E E
The task of the Strategy Committee in the financial year was to advise the Executive Board on the develop-
ment and implementation of the corporate strategy. The committee held a total of four meetings during the 
completed financial year. Of these, one was held as an in-person meeting, while three were held as video 
conferences. The Committee was dissolved at the end of the financial year under review.

The members of the Strategy Committee were:

•  Dr Dieter Zetsche (Chairman)
•  Dr Jutta Dönges 
•  Prof. Dr Edgar Ernst 
•  Frank Jakobi

•  Vladimir Lukin (until 3 March 2022) 
•  Coline McConville
•  Alexey Mordashov (until 2 March 2022)

For the GCGC, which is based on the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG) in its basic conception, we were 
able to submit the Declaration of Conformity 2022 with the Executive Board in accordance with Section 161 
AktG. The GCGC is complied with, with the exception of some recommendations in Section G.I.3. The devia-
tions  from  the  UK  CGC  are  largely  due  to  the  conceptual  difference  between  the  monistic  management 
system of a public listed company in the UK (so-called one-tier board) and the dualistic management system 
consisting of Executive Board and Supervisory Board in a public limited company (so-called two-tier board) 
under German law. 

In conducting the audit of the financial statements, the auditor did not identify any facts that would indicate 
that the declaration on the GCGC issued by the Executive Board and the Supervisory Board was incorrect.

Further information on corporate governance, the Declaration of Conformity 2022 pursuant to Section 161 
of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG) and the declaration on the UK CGC can be found in the Corpor-
ate Governance Report jointly prepared by the Executive Board and the Supervisory Board in this Annual 
Report (page 107) and on TUI AG’s website.

 At its meeting on 5 October 2021, the Strategy Committee discussed TUI’s current market and competitive 
situation as well as strategic developments in the Hotels & Resorts, Cruises and TUI Musement Sectors. 
The Committee also addressed the progress of the internal efficiency and cost savings programme.

 On 6 December 2021, the Strategy Committee again received an update on the internal efficiency and 
cost  savings  programme.  Key  performance  indicators  for  hotels,  tour  operators  and  the  Group’s  own 
airlines were also discussed. The Strategy Committee also received an update on current IT projects and 
specific marketing indicators.

 On 21 February 2022, the Committee addressed the current status of ongoing IT projects and the digital 
transformation. In addition, the members of the Committee discussed in detail the strategy of the 
TUI Blue hotel brand.

 At its meeting on 9 May 2022, the Strategy Committee dealt with the development of the liquidity situ-
ation  and  financial  recovery.  In  this  context,  the  Strategy  Committee  also  informed  itself  about  the 
process, timetable and potential volume of a possible capital increase with the exclusion of subscription 
rights with the aim of repaying further state support. Furthermore, the Strategy Committee discussed a 
possible dissolution of the Committee at the end of the financial year 2022.

The TUI AG share has its primary listing on the London Stock Exchange in the United Kingdom. In this con-
text,  TUI  AG’s  constitution  as  a  stock  corporation  under  German  law  naturally  requires  the  Supervisory 
Board to deal regularly and in great detail with the recommendations of both German and British corporate 
governance. Apart from mandatory compliance with the provisions of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG), 
the Co-Determination Act (MitbestG), the Listing Rules and the Disclosure and Transparency Rules, TUI AG

The Supervisory Board has continuously monitored the existence of conflicts of interest in the current 
financial year and determined that no conflict of interest arose in financial year 2022.

Audit of the annual financial statements and consolidated financial statements of 
TUI AG and TUI Group

The Supervisory Board examined whether the annual financial statements and the consolidated financial 
statements as well as the other financial reporting complied with the applicable requirements. The annual 
financial statements of TUI AG prepared by the Executive Board in accordance with the rules of the German 
Commercial Code (HGB), the combined Management Report of TUI AG and the TUI Group and the consoli-
dated  financial  statements  for  financial  year  2022  prepared  on  the  basis  of  the  International  Financial 
Reporting Standards (IFRS) were audited by Deloitte GmbH Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft, Hanover, and 
issued with an unqualified audit opinion in each case. The aforementioned documents, the Executive Board’s 
proposal for the appropriation of the balance sheet profit and the auditor’s reports were submitted to all 
members of the Supervisory Board in good time. We discussed them in detail at the Audit Committee meet-
ing on 12 December 2022 and at our balance sheet meeting on 13 December 2022, at which the Executive 
Board explained the financial statements in detail. At these meetings, the Chairman of the Audit Committee 
and the auditor reported on the results of their audits, the focus of which had previously been determined 
with the Audit Committee for the reporting year. Neither the auditor nor the Audit Committee identified any 
weaknesses in the early risk detection and internal control system. Following our own review of the annual 
financial statements, the consolidated financial statements and the combined management report, we had

no cause for objections and therefore concurred with the Executive Board’s assessment of the situation of 
TUI AG and TUI Group. 

On  the  recommendation  of  the  Audit  Committee,  we  approve  the  financial  statements  for  financial  year 
2022; the annual financial statements of TUI AG are thus adopted.

Following the resignation of Mr Alexey Mordashov from the Supervisory Board with effect from 2 March 
2022 and thus also from TUI AG’s Nomination Committee, the vacancy was filled by Dr Jutta Dönges with 
effect from 10 May 2022.

Composition of the Executive Board and Supervisory Board

The composition of the Executive Board and the Supervisory Board as at 30 September 2022 is shown in 
the overviews on page 108 for the Supervisory Board and on page 110 for the Executive Board.

S U P E R V I S O R Y   B O A R D
In the following, I will give you an overview of the personnel changes on the Supervisory Board.

Ms Carola Schwirn left the Supervisory Board at the end of 28 February 2022. Ms Schwirn, departmental 
coordinator in the Berlin transport department of the ver.di trade union, had been a member of the Super-
visory  Board  since  2014  and  was  also  a  member  of  the  Mediation  Committee.  By  court  appointment  on 
1 April 2022, Ms Sonja Austermühle, trade union secretary and lawyer at ver.di Berlin, was appointed as a 
member of the Supervisory Board as an employee representative. 

As a result of the Russia-Ukraine war, the European Union imposed sanctions against Mr Alexey Mordashov 
on 28 February 2022. Mr Mordashov informed us on 2 March 2022 that he resigned from his mandate as a 
member of the Supervisory Board of TUI AG with immediate effect. He had been elected to TUI’s Super-
visory Board in 2016 and was also a member of the Presiding Committee, the Nomination Committee and 
the Strategy Committee.

On 3 March 2022, Mr Vladimir Lukin also informed us that he was resigning from his mandate as sharehold-
er representative on the Supervisory Board of TUI AG with immediate effect. Mr Lukin had been a member 
of our Board since 2019 and was also a member of the Audit Committee and the Strategy Committee. A court 
appointment was applied for in each case for the vacancies that arose. On 31 May 2022, Ms Helena Murano, 
Senior Advisor at Arcano Partners, and Mr Christian Baier, Member of the Executive Board (CFO) of METRO 
AG, were accordingly appointed as members of the Supervisory Board of TUI AG. 

P R E S I D I N G   C O M M I T T E E
Following the resignation of his mandate as a member of the Supervisory Board of TUI AG on 2 March 2022, 
Mr Alexey Mordashov also resigned from the Presiding Committee. He was succeeded by Dr Jutta Dönges, 
elected by the shareholder representatives on 10 May 2022. 

S T R AT E G Y   C O M M I T T E E
Both Mr Alexey Mordashov and Mr Vladimir Lukin resigned from TUI AG’s Supervisory Board and its Strat-
egy Committee on 2 March 2022 and 3 March 2022 respectively. At its meeting on 15 September 2022, the 
Supervisory Board decided to discuss strategy issues in the plenary in future and dissolved the Strategy 
Committee at the end of the financial year 2022. 

E X E C U T I V E   B O A R D
On 24 June 2022, Mr Joussen exercised his right to resign from his office as member of the Executive Board 
of TUI AG ahead of schedule as per 30 September 2022. The Supervisory Board decided on 27 June 2022 to 
appoint the current Chief Financial Officer, Mr Ebel, as the new CEO of the Executive Board for a period of 
three years as of 1 October 2022. At the same time, the Supervisory Board decided on the same day that 
Mr Kiep, previously Group Director Controlling, Corporate Finance & Investor Relations, should succeed 
Mr Ebel as Chief Financial Officer as of 1 October 2022 and appointed him accordingly as a member of the 
Executive Board with effect from 1 October 2022 for a period of three years. 

The Supervisory Board decided on 27 June 2022 to extend the appointment of Mr Burling, CEO Markets & 
Airlines, ahead of schedule for a further two years until 31 May 2026. Mr Burling will continue to be respon-
sible for the Group’s tour operators and airlines.

Thanks to

The  Supervisory  Board  is  aware  of  the  enormous  challenges  TUI  Group  employees  have  faced  since  the 
beginning of the pandemic. We would like to express our gratitude to them for their tireless efforts, their 
great commitment and for representing TUI’s values to our stakeholders.

Due to the resignation of his office as a member of the Supervisory Board, Mr Vladimir Lukin also resigned 
from the Audit Committee with effect from 3 March 2022. By court appointment, Mr Christian Baier became 
a member of the Supervisory Board with effect from 31 May 2022 and, with effect from the same date, also 
a member of the Audit Committee by resolution of the Supervisory Board.

Chairman of the Supervisory Board

Report of the Audit Committee
Dear Shareholders,

As the Audit Committee, we have the task of supporting the Supervisory Board in the performance of its 
supervisory function. In doing so, we deal with the audit of the accounting, the monitoring of the accounting 
process, the effectiveness of the internal control system, the risk management system and the internal audit 
system as well as the audit of the financial statements and compliance. The accounting process includes, in 
particular, the consolidated financial statements and the Group Management Report, including CSR report-
ing, financial information during the year and the individual financial statements according to the German 
Commercial Code (HGB). In the completed financial year, we dealt in particular with issues relating to TUI 
Group’s accounting and financial reporting, as required by law, the German Corporate Governance Code (GCGC), 
the UK Corporate Governance Code (UK CGC) and the rules of procedure of the Supervisory Board.

In addition, the Audit Committee is responsible for the selection of the external auditor, including a review 
of the qualification as well as the independence of the auditor. The selected auditor is then proposed by the 
Supervisory Board to the Annual General Meeting for appointment. After the appointment by the Annual 
General Meeting, the Supervisory Board formally commissions the external auditor to audit the annual 
financial statements and the consolidated financial statements. The auditor is also commissioned to review 
the half-year financial report as well as any additional interim financial information that meets the require-
ments for the half-year financial report. The Audit Committee has agreed with the auditor that the auditor 
will inform the Committee without delay of all findings and events of significance for the Committee’s tasks 
that come to the auditor’s attention during the performance of the audit. Furthermore, the Audit Committee 
has agreed with the auditor that the auditor will inform the Committee and make a note in the audit report 
if, during the performance of the audit, the auditor discovers facts that show a misstatement in the declaration 
on the GCGC issued by the Executive Board and the Supervisory Board. In addition, the Audit Committee 
regularly assesses the quality of the audit.

The current Audit Committee was elected from the members of the Supervisory Board immediately after 
the Annual General Meeting in February 2022. The election of the Committee members is valid for the 
respective term of their Supervisory Board mandate. Due to the resignation of his office as a member of 
the  Supervisory  Board,  Mr  Vladimir  Lukin  also  resigned  from  the  Audit  Committee  with  effect  from  
3 March 2022. By court appointment, Mr Christian Baier became a member of the Supervisory Board with 
effect from 31 May 2022 and, by corresponding resolution of the Supervisory Board, also a member of the 
Audit Committee with effect from the same date.

The  Audit  Committee,  which  has  equal  representation,  thus  currently  consists  of  the  following  eight 
members of the Supervisory Board:

appeared necessary to go into more detail on individual topics and issues. The Chairman of the Audit Com-
mittee reported on the main results of these discussions at the following meeting of the Audit Committee.

•  Prof. Dr Edgar Ernst (Chairman)
•  Christian Baier
•  Dr Jutta Dönges
•  Stefan Heinemann

•  Frank Jakobi
•  Mark Muratovic
•  Stefan Weinhofer 
•  Dr Dieter Zetsche

The Chairman of the Audit Committee reports on the work and proposals of the Audit Committee as well as 
on the content of individual discussions in the respective subsequent Supervisory Board meeting.

The members attended the meetings of the Audit Committee as shown in the table on page 13. 

Through the appointment of financial experts, the Audit Committee has expertise in the areas of accounting 
and auditing. The expertise in the field of accounting consists of special knowledge and experience in the 
application of accounting principles and internal control and risk management systems. The expertise in 
the field of auditing consists of special knowledge and experience in the auditing of financial statements. 
Accounting and auditing also include sustainability reporting and the auditing of such reporting. The Chair-
man of the Audit Committee, Prof. Dr Edgar Ernst, is an expert in both areas. In addition, Christian Baier and 
Dr Jutta Dönges fulfil the requirements of a financial expert within the meaning of the GCGC. The relevant 
members of the Audit Committee are also named in the Corporate Governance Report starting on page 107, 
where more detailed information on their expertise in the aforementioned areas is also provided. In summary, 
it should be noted here that the members of the Audit Committee all have competences relevant to the 
sector in which the Company operates.

With regard to the Chairman of the Audit Committee, Prof. Dr Edgar Ernst, the Supervisory Board is of the 
opinion that he is independent of the Company and the Executive Board (for the independence of the other 
members of the Audit Committee, see page 114). 

The Audit Committee regularly meets six times a year. The meeting dates and agendas are based in particular 
on the Group’s reporting cycle and the Supervisory Board’s agendas. Additional meetings may be held on 
specific topics. These topic-related meetings generally also include a meeting in which the Executive Board 
explains  to  the  Audit  Committee  the  main  contents  of  the  Pre-Close  Trading  Update,  which  is  published 
shortly before the balance sheet date for the annual financial statements. 

Information value of financial reporting and monitoring of the accounting process

The preparation of the annual financial statements and annual report of a German stock corporation is the 
sole responsibility of the Executive Board. Pursuant to Section 243 (2) of the German Commercial Code (HGB), 
the annual financial statements must be clear and concise and provide a realistic overview of the company’s 
economic situation. This is in line with the requirements of the UK CGC, according to which the annual financial 
statements and annual report must be accurate, balanced and understandable. Against this background, the 
Executive Board is satisfied – although the assessment was not delegated to the Audit Committee – that the 
submitted Annual Report meets the requirements of both legal systems.

In order to satisfy ourselves as well of the informative value of the annual financial statements and the 
interim reporting, we were informed in detail by the Executive Board about the business development and 
the financial situation of the Group at the four Audit Committee meetings held immediately before the pub-
lication of the respective financial statements. The corresponding reports were discussed. At these meet-
ings, the auditors also reported in detail on important aspects of the financial statements and on the results 
of the audit or the auditor’s review. In principle, discussions can always take place in the absence of the Ex-
ecutive Board. This applies in particular to the audit of the financial statements. In the completed financial 
year, the Audit Committee also discussed with the auditor the assessment of the audit risk, the audit strategy 
and audit planning as well as the audit results. In addition, the Chairman of the Audit Committee regularly 
discussed the progress of the audit with the auditor and each time reported back to the Audit Committee.

In addition to the members of the Audit Committee, the meetings were also attended by the Chairman of 
the Executive Board and the Chief Financial Officer, as well as the heads of Group Financial Accounting & 
Reporting,  Group  Audit,  Group  Legal,  Compliance  &  Board  Office,  Group  Treasury,  Group  Controlling, 
Corporate Finance & Investor Relations.

In  order  to  monitor  accounting,  we  intensively  dealt  with  individual  aspects.  As  in  previous  years,  TUI’s 
economic development due to the COVID-19 pandemic was a central topic at our meetings. In particular, we 
received detailed reports from TUI AG’s Executive Board on the measures taken to safeguard liquidity, in 
particular with regard to state-backed financing, and planned capital measures.

The auditors were invited to attend the meetings to discuss relevant issues. Other members of TUI Group’s 
senior management as well as TUI Group executives with operational responsibility or external consultants 
were invited as required.

In addition to the meetings of the Audit Committee, the Chairman of the Audit Committee also held individual 
discussions  with  the  Executive  Board,  division  heads  or  the  responsible  partners  of  the  auditor  if  this 

In addition, we examined the accounting treatment of significant balance sheet items, in particular goodwill, 
property, plant and equipment, advance payments to hoteliers for tourism and other provisions. In consul-
tation with the auditor, we satisfied ourselves that the assumptions and estimates underlying the accounting 
were  appropriate.  Furthermore,  material  aspects  arising  from  the  operational  business,  in  particular  the 
impairment testing of the Group’s assets against the background of the COVID-19 pandemic, were assessed 
by the Audit Committee.

STATEMENTS AND NOTES

Even before the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, TUI AG’s Executive Board initiated optimisation pro-
cesses with regard to the structure of working capital and the associated cash flows. These measures also 
included the further development of a central Finance structure. Structured working capital management 
was also extended to the subsidiaries. We were regularly informed about these projects at our meetings. 
Due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, these processes were greatly expanded and accompanied 
by measures for strict cost control. As in previous years, we received detailed reports on the corresponding 
measures. 

In addition, the consistency of the reconciliation to the key parameter “underlying EBIT” and the significant 
items (adjustments) eliminated here were discussed for each quarterly report and for the annual financial 
statements. In this context, the going concern report prepared by the Company was also discussed to verify 
the relevant going concern statements in the half-year report and the annual financial statements. The via-
bility statement to be issued in the annual financial statements under the regulations of the UK CGC was also 
the subject of discussion.

The Audit Committee is guided in its statutory obligation to deal with the effectiveness of the internal con-
trol and risk management system by the conviction that a stable and effective internal control system is in-
dispensable to ensure economic success in the long term. To fulfil its monitoring task, the Audit Committee 
regularly obtains information on the maturity of the implemented controls and also about the further develop-
ment of the internal control system.

The Group has continuously developed its internal control system based on the COSO concept. The routine 
review of key financial controls is carried out by local management and monitored by the Executive Board. 
In the largest source markets, the UK and Germany, other internal controls are also reviewed. 

The Compliance function in the Group is further divided into the areas of Finance, Legal and IT. This division 
plays an essential role in identifying further control needs and permanent improving existing controls. In 
addition, the auditor also reports on any weaknesses in the Group’s accounting-related control system that 
it identifies, and management follows up on their prompt elimination.

The report of the Chairman of the Audit Committee on the monitoring of transactions with related parties 
within the financial year was also discussed. Since none of the transactions – neither on an individual basis 
nor in combination – exceeded the corresponding threshold value in the reporting year, the monitored 
individual matters were monitored on their own. 

The Audit Committee receives regular reports on the effectiveness of the risk management system, as shown 
in the Risk Report starting on page 34. The Risk Oversight Committee that has been set up is of crucial im-
portance within the Group. We are convinced that an adequate risk management system is in place.

Since the introduction of mandatory reporting on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in the management 
report,  the  Supervisory  Board  has  been  responsible  for  reviewing  the  content  of  these  disclosures.  The 
Supervisory Board has decided to seek the support of TUI’s auditor, Deloitte, in reviewing the disclosures. 
Accordingly, we were informed of the results of the review by the auditor in the financial year under review 
and are of the opinion that the disclosures published in the CSR Report are appropriate and adequate. 

Our assessment of all aspects of accounting and financial reporting discussed is consistent with that of the 
Executive Board and the auditor.

The  Internal  Audit  department  ensures  the  independent  monitoring  of  the  implemented  processes  and 
systems as well as the significant projects and reports directly to the Audit Committee at each regular meet-
ing. During the reporting period, the Audit Committee was not informed of any audit findings that indicated 
material  weaknesses  in  the  internal  control  system  or  the  risk  management  system.  In  addition,  regular 
discussions take place between the Chairman of the Audit Committee and the Director of Internal Audit for 
closer coordination. The annual audit planning is carried out in an agile manner. The Audit Committee has 
received  detailed  reports  on  the  methodology  and  has  taken  note  of  and  approved  it,  together  with  the 
audits for the coming financial year that have already been defined in this context. The Audit Committee 
believes that regular coordination ensures the effectiveness of the internal audit. 

At our meetings during the financial year under review, we were again informed about the implementation 
and guarantee of the regulations of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR) in the individual 
business units. Based on this report, we are convinced that the projects and measures initiated throughout 
the Group for this purpose are suitable for meeting the requirements of the EU GDPR.

Whistleblowing systems for employees in the event of compliance violations

A standardised whistleblowing system has been set up within TUI Group, enabling employees to draw 
attention to potential breaches of compliance guidelines.

As part of the reporting on the legal compliance system, we were presented with the key findings from the 
whistleblower system in the completed financial year.

Review of the independence and objectivity of the auditor

For financial year 2022, the Audit Committee recommended to the Supervisory Board that Deloitte GmbH 
Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft (Deloitte) be proposed to the Annual General Meeting as auditors. Following 
the appointment of Deloitte as auditors by the Annual General Meeting in February 2022, the Supervisory 
Board commissioned Deloitte to audit the 2022 financial statements. 

The Audit Committee had Deloitte explain to it in advance the audit plan for the annual financial statements 
as at 30 September 2022. This plan includes the key audit areas and the group of companies to be audited 
from  the  Group’s  perspective.  The  Audit  Committee  is  convinced  that  this  plan  ensures  that  the  audit 
adequately takes into account the identifiable risks. It also considers the independence and objectivity of the 
auditor to be given.

Based on regular reporting by the auditor, we have satisfied ourselves of the effectiveness of the external 
audit and have decided to recommend to the Supervisory Board that Deloitte be proposed to the Annual 
General Meeting as auditor again for financial year 2023. Deloitte was selected by us as auditor in a public 

tender process in financial year 2016 and has been appointed as auditor without interruption since it was 
first elected by the Annual General Meeting in 2017.

In order to ensure the independence of the auditor, all engagements for the provision of non-audit services 
by the auditor must be submitted to the Audit Committee for approval before the engagement is awarded. 
The Audit Committee makes use of the possibility to delegate the approval to the Company depending on 
the size of the engagement. The Chairperson of the Audit Committee is only involved in the decision if a 
specified cost limit is exceeded. If the auditor provided services to the Group outside of the audit, the nature 
and amount of these services were explained to the Audit Committee. This approach is in line with the 
Company’s existing policy on the approval of non-audit services, which takes into account the requirements 
of the regulations of the Audit Reform Act (AReG) on prohibited non-audit services and on limitations on the 
amount of non-audit services. Worldwide, non-audit services amounted to € 2.3 m. The audit fee received by 
the auditor, excluding voluntary audits, amounted to € 8.2 m. The corresponding non-audit services accounted 
for approximately 28 % of Deloitte’s audit fees.

I would like to thank the members of the Audit Committee, the auditors, the Executive Board and all employees 
involved for their trusting and committed cooperation in the past financial year.

TUI Group Strategy

Tourism remains a growing sector – fundamentals intact

Holiday Experiences delivers differentiated content in hotels, cruises and tours and activities:

The travel and tourism market is a significant contributor to the global economy1, growing above global GDP 
levels pre-pandemic.2 Demand for tourism is driven by strong fundamental trends – people living longer, 
healthier lives; the growth of middle classes across the globe, which increases disposable income; and the 
desire for experiences, of which travel plays a significant part. Therefore, we expect leisure tourism to con-
tinue to be an attractive growth market over the long-term.

In the shorter term, the industry has withstood unprecedented disruption as a result of COVID-19. Despite 
this, the underlying strong desire of people to travel is clear, as demonstrated the resurgence of bookings as 
restrictions were relaxed.3 At TUI, we experienced a strong uplift in bookings for our destinations on the 
easing of government travel restrictions, and in Summer 2022, Markets & Airlines customer numbers re-
bounded to around 90 % of pre-pandemic levels, coupled with a strong 18 % increase in average selling price.

As the pandemic subsides, the global geopolitical and economic environment remains challenging for the 
industry, in particular the impact this has on cost inflation, foreign exchange rates and consumer sentiment. 
In this context customers value brands which they can depend on, and which deliver choice and flexibility in 
configuring the right product for them. Building on this development, TUI will focus on delivering quality 
services to our customers while increasing choice and flexibility, both in terms of our product offer, and in 
the right-sizing of the proportion of risk capacity for flights and hotels. This will be supported by our strategy 
of growing our dynamic packaging and components business, through increasingly flexible supply of flights 
and hotels.

TUI’s business model – foundation for success

TUI is a global tourism group covering the entire holiday journey, serving millions of customers, operating 
134 aircraft, 418 hotels and 16 cruise ships4, as well as a digital platform for tours and activities with a strong 
portfolio. The group is structured into two divisions – Holiday Experiences and Markets & Airlines.

1. 

2. 

3. 

 Our hotel portfolio consists of own and differentiated leisure brands such as Robinson, TUI Magic Life, 
TUI Blue and TUI Suneo, complemented by JV hotel brands such as Riu, Atlantica, Blue Diamond and 
Grupotel. The portfolio is well-diversified in terms of product offer, destination mix and ownership models, 
and benefits from multi-channel and multi-source market distribution via Markets & Airlines, direct to 
customer, and via third parties such as Online Travel Agents (OTAs) and tour operators.

 Our three cruise brands (Mein Schiff, Hapag-Lloyd Cruises, Marella) cover the cruises sector from premium 
all-inclusive to luxury to expeditions, with leading positions in the German-speaking and UK markets, 
benefitting from multi-channel distribution via Markets & Airlines, direct to customer and via third parties.

 TUI Musement is one of the largest digital providers in the online intermediary market for tours, activities 
and experiences5, connecting our own and third party product portfolio in destinations with Markets & 
Airlines  customers,  open  market  (B2C)  customers,  and  B2B  partner  customers  (such  as  OTAs,  meta-
search  sites  and  tour  operators),  as  well  as  providing  transfers  and  support  to  our  customers  at  the 
destination.

Markets & Airlines distributes and fulfills holidays to a large customer base in 13 source markets6. TUI is 
(according to consumer surveys for unaided brand awareness and consideration) a leading tourism brand.7 
We differentiate ourselves from the competition (such as tour operators, OTAs, hotels and airlines) based on 
exclusive and high-quality product, service and trust. By covering the whole customer journey, TUI holds 
multiple digital and physical touchpoints with its customers, and therefore delivers a strong blend of digital 
and human interaction. This enables TUI to follow a customer centric approach, aiming to create long-term 
relationships with its customers. Growth will be driven by a wider product range, reflecting consumer demand 
for more choice and flexibility, and increasing the appeal across different customer segments.

Our  Holiday  Experiences  business  strategy  focusses  on  asset-right  growth  in  differentiated  content  and 
expanding the customer base with multi-channel distribution.

In Hotels & Resorts, content growth will be delivered both with our hotel brands in existing and new desti-
nations, as well as introducing new brands to complement our portfolio. Growth in hotels will be based on 
an asset-right approach – through our joint ventures, the Global Hotel Fund, recently launched by TUI and 
partners, and expansion with management and franchise partners. Our hotel distribution strategy is focused 
on optimisation of rate and occupancy of hotels, based on sales via Markets & Airlines, as well as growing the 
volume and proportion of sales via direct and third-party channels.

Growth in Cruises will be driven by investment into new-build ships by our TUI Cruises JV, as well as a con-
tinuation of Marella’s fleet upgrading strategy, by replacing older ships with newer and larger vessels, en-
abling it to increase product pricing. Our distribution strategy for Cruises covers all channels, with sales via 
Markets & Airlines complemented by sales via direct and third-party channels, in order to drive yield and 
occupancy. We will focus on enhancing our digital cruise marketing and distribution, particularly for Marella.

TUI Musement’s strategy is to focus on growing customer demand, product offer, and digitalisation. Custom-
er growth is targeted from all three segments – TUI customers (based on Markets & Airlines volume growth 
plus  increased  uptake  of  tours,  activities  and  experiences),  B2C  customers  (by  promoting  the  Musement 
platform for direct bookings, and proving an entry point into TUI customer ecosystem) and B2B (by digital-
izing our partner product portfolio). Product growth will be delivered both with new tours, activities and 
excursions, as well as other products such as mobility, multi-day tours, and destination passes. The inclusion 
of these products is enabled by the continued digitalisation of the business, which is also transforming the 
way TUI Musement delivers service directly to its customers, as well as its interactions with B2B customers.

Having accelerated the strategic transformation of our Markets & Airlines during the pandemic and expect-
ing the full realisation of our Global Realignment Programme goals in 2023, our business strategy is now 
focused on recovery and growth. Taking into account the current macro environment, we will drive the 
recovery by leveraging our core capabilities as well as increasing the flexibility of accommodation and flight 
supply, with a corresponding reduction in the proportion of risk capacity. In addition, TUI Airline will continue 
to build resilience and improve quality, following the above normal levels of disruption experienced by the 
industry this year, as well as further enhance our multi-layered approach to seat supply (in-house fleet plus 
third party carriers) by building a central Capacity Demand Management function.

STATEMENTS AND NOTES

We will invest into growth by offering more product choice, growing our customer ecosystem into untapped 
segments, and increasing customer value. This includes increasing the volume and proportion of dynamically 
sourced packages, as well as significantly increasing our component offer in accommodation only and flight 
only. In addition, we will grow our multi-day tours business, which operates in an attractive but fragmented 
market, with the launch of a new digital platform; and we will expand our car rental offer for both TUI and 
open-market customers. Finally, we will maximise the value of each customer by enhancing our ancillaries 
merchandising and offer across the entire TUI ecosystem. All of these initiatives aim to enlarge TUI’s customer 
ecosystem and grow volumes, based on dynamic sourcing, which will balance our risk capacity exposure.

C E N T R A L   T U I   C U S T O M E R   E C O S Y S T E M :   TA P   G R O U P   S Y N E R G I E S ,   M A X I M I S E   C U S T O M E R   V A L U E
As well as growing customer volumes, our marketing and distribution strategy focuses on maximizing cus-
tomer value, utilizing synergies between both of our business divisions. As the basis for this, we will continue 
to strengthen and leverage the TUI brand in existing and untapped customer segments. We are streamlining 
the digital customer experience via the operation of a single customer account, implementing a common 
payment process, and deploying marketing and recommendations which cover all TUI products (including 
in-flight and hotel). We also focus on enhancing our app to enable customers to access all TUI products and 
services more easily, as well as targeting further growth in the proportion of digital sales made in-app. All of 
this will facilitate a full product suite offering and cross-selling, and increase the number of holiday and 
experience touchpoints we have with the customer.

Sustainability agenda ‘people, planet and progress’

We want to set the standard for sustainability in the market and live up to our commitment. We believe that 
the sustainable transformation should not be viewed as a cost factor, but that sustainability pays off – for 
society, for the environment and for business. Our strategy is therefore underpinned by clear, evidence-based 
goals and targets on sustainability. Our new Sustainability Agenda consists of three building blocks – People, 
Planet and Progress.

  Details see page 79.

P E O P L E
1.  We will ensure that local people and communities benefit from tourism and the local supply chain.

2. 

 We will empower a generation of sustainability changemakers. TUI Care Foundation will drive positive 
social and environmental impact in tourism communities around the world.

P L A N E T
1. 

 In 2022, TUI joined the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), committing to implement emission reduc-
tions in line with the latest climate science.

2. 

 We will achieve net-zero emissions across our operations and supply chain by 2050 at the latest. We will 
change the way we use natural resources and become a circular business.

P R O G R E S S
1. 

 Together  with  our  partners  we  will  co-create  the  next  generation  sustainable  business  model  for  the 
tourism industry, through the Destination Co-Lab Rhodes.

2.  We will enable our customers to make sustainable holiday choices in every stage of the customer journey.

We already operate one of Europe’s most carbon-efficient airlines and we aim to continuously improve our 
environmental  performance.  We  will  build  on  the  progress  we  have  already  made  and  reduce  emissions 
further through our commitment to science-based targets and our emission reduction roadmap. In 2022, 
relative carbon emissions across our airlines decreased by 18.5 %. This improvement was largely a result of 
significantly improved load factors compared to 2021, as well as TUI’s on-going re-fleeting with older aircraft 
being replaced by new, more carbon-efficient aircraft. In 2022, we operated with 19 Boeing 787 aircraft and 
the Boeing 737 Max fleet grew from 25 to 35 aircraft during the financial year.

People strategy – digital, engaging, inclusive

TUI is set for recovery and growth

With their competence and commitment, our employees make a key contribution to TUI Group’s success. 
The  challenging  interplay  between  our  transformation  to  a  digital  platform  company,  the  impact  of  the 
COVID-19 pandemic and a volatile labour market have substantially altered expectations about the way we 
work and how we interact with present and future employees. 

TUI has emerged from the pandemic as a more digital, more lean and stronger company, which we believe 
positions  us  well  to  capture  further  market  growth  potential.  TUI  will  continue  to  grow  its  differentiated 
Holiday Experience and Markets & Airlines product offerings, grow the volume and value of its customer 
ecosystem, increase flexibility for our customers and operations, and maximise synergies within the business.

Against this overall backdrop, we have developed a new People Strategy with Sybille Reiss, Chief People 
Officer and Labour Director. The strategy adopts a holistic approach towards both our HR function as such 
and our employees. It puts people first. Our vision is to be “Digital, Engaging and Inclusive”.

Our People Strategy focuses on strengthening our business and enhancing the experience of existing and 
future employees. In order to implement our strategy, we have adopted a mission defining our relevant 
areas of action: 

•  Simplification, harmonisation and focus 
•  Digital transformation
•  Supporting growth 
•  Positive employee experience
•  Diversity, equity and inclusion
•  Facilitating top performance 

We are thus seeking to create a framework that empowers our employees to deliver their best performance 
and succeed as a team.

The TUI Musement segment delivers local services at our holiday destinations around the world. To do this 
TUI is present in numerous holiday destinations with its own staff. TUI Musement's business model for the 
distribution of experiences, activities, tours and tickets is based on an online platform open to customers 
and suppliers. In addition, transfers are provided in the destinations. 

TUI Musement serves three customer groups:

•  TUI customers: Providing services to our guests in the destination via tour guides as well as via the TUI 

Digital Assistant App and the TUI Experience Center.

•  Strategic B2B customers: Digital and on-site services for partners from various sectors of the travel 

industry, such as airlines, cruise lines, ground transport, OTAs and tour operators.

•  B2C open Market clients: Global tour and activity distribution for travellers.

M A R K E T S   &   A I R L I N E S 
With  our  three  regions  –  Northern,  Central  and  Western  –  we  have  well-positioned  sales  and  marketing 
structures offering our customers attractive holiday experiences. Our sales activities are based on online and 
offline channels. The travel agencies include Group-owned agencies as well as joint ventures and agencies 
operated by third parties. In order to offer our customers a wide choice of hotels, our source market organi-
sations have access to a large portfolio of TUI hotels. They also have access to third-party hotel bed capacity, 
some of which has been contractually committed.

market region and can respond flexibly to changes in customer preferences. Balanced management of flight 
and hotel capacity enables us to develop destinations and optimise the margins of both service providers.

N O R T H E R N   R E G I O N
The  Northern  Region  segment  comprises  tour  operator  activities  and  airlines  in  the  UK,  Ireland  and  the 
Nordics. This segment also includes the Canadian strategic venture Sunwing.

C E N T R A L   R E G I O N 
The Central Region segment comprises the tour operators and airlines in Germany and the tour operator 
activities in Austria, Poland, and Switzerland. 

W E S T E R N   R E G I O N 
The Western Region segment comprises the tour operators and airlines in Belgium and the Netherlands and 
the tour operator activities in France.

A L L   O T H E R   S E G M E N T S
‘All other segments’ includes our business activities for the new markets, the corporate centre functions of 
TUI AG and the interim holdings, the Group’s real estate companies and the Group’s key tourism functions. 

Research and development 

Our  own  flying  capacity  continues  to  play  a  key  role  in  our  business  model.  Thanks  to  a  combination  of 
Group-owned  and  third-party  capacity,  we  offer  tailored  travel  programmes  for  each  individual  source 

As a tourism service provider, the TUI Group does not engage in research and development activities 
comparable with manufacturing companies. This sub-report is therefore not prepared.

Value-oriented Group Management

Management system and key performance indicators 

A standardised management system has been created to implement value-driven management across the 
Group as a whole and in its individual business segments. The value-oriented management system is an 
integral part of consistent Group-wide controlling and planning processes.

Our key financial performance indicators for tracking our earnings position are revenue and underlying EBIT. 
Accordingly, underlying EBIT represents the segment indicator as defined by IFRS 8.

We define the EBIT in underlying EBIT as earnings before interest, taxes and expenses for the measurement 
of the Group’s interest hedges. EBIT by definition includes amortisation of goodwill. 

Underlying EBIT has been adjusted for income and expense items which, due to their level and frequency, 
impact or distort the assessment of operating profitability in the segments and the Group. These one-off 
items include gains on disposal of investments, major gains and losses from the disposal of assets, and 
major  restructuring  and  integration  expenses.  The  indicator  is  additionally  adjusted  for  all  effects  from 
purchase price allocations, ancillary acquisition costs and conditional purchase price payments. The recon-
ciliation to underlying EBIT also adjusts for goodwill impairments.

STATEMENTS AND NOTES

To track the Group’s financial position in financial year 2022, we identified net capital expenditure and financial 
investments as well as TUI Group’s net financial position as key performance indicators. In addition, we monitor 
the Group’s leverage ratio as a further indicator of financial stability.

Key  management  variables  used  for  regular  value  analysis  are  Return  On  Invested  Capital  (ROIC)  and 
Economic Value Added. ROIC is compared with the weighted average cost of capital (WACC).

We regard specific carbon emissions (in g CO2 / rpk) from our aircraft fleet as a key non-financial perfor-
m ance indicator. 

To track business performance in our segments in the course of the year, we also monitor other non-financial 
performance  indicators,  such  as  the  customer  numbers  in  tour  operation,  capacity  or  passenger  days, 
occupancy and average prices in Hotels & Resorts and Cruises.

   Information on operating performance indicators is provided in the sections on Segmental performance (page 64) and in the 

Report on Expected Developments (page 52).

The cost of capital is calculated as the weighted average cost of equity and debt (WACC). While the cost of 
equity reflects the return expected by investors from TUI shares, the cost of debt is based on the average 
borrowing costs for TUI Group. The cost of capital always shows pre-tax costs, i. e. costs before corporate 
and investor taxes. The expected return determined in this way corresponds to the same tax level as the 
underlying EBIT included in ROIC. For financial year 2022, we apply a cost of capital of TUI Group of 12.63 %.

ROIC and Economic Value Added

ROIC is calculated as the ratio of underlying earnings before interest and taxes (underlying EBIT) to average 
invested interest-bearing capital (invested capital). 

Given its definition, this performance indicator is not influenced by any tax or financial factors and has been 
adjusted for one-off effects. From a Group perspective, invested capital is derived from liabilities, comprising 
equity (including non-controlling interests) and the balance of interest-bearing liabilities and interest-bearing 
assets with an adjustment for the seasonality of the Group’s net financial position. The cumulative amorti-
sations of purchase price allocations are then added to the invested capital.

Apart from ROIC as a relative performance indicator, Economic Value Added is used as an absolute value- 
oriented performance indicator. Economic Value Added is calculated as the product of ROIC less associated 
pre-tax capital costs (WACC) multiplied by interest-bearing invested capital. 

In the year under review, TUI Group's ROIC amounted to 7.49 % (previous year – 30.02 %). Taking into account 
the Group's weighted average cost of capital of 12.63 %, this resulted in a negative Economic Value Added of 
€ 280.7 m (previous year negative Economic Value Added of € 2.8 bn).

Group earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) on a constant currency basis, weighted at 75 %, are used to 
determine  annual  variable  remuneration  (JEV)  for  the  Executive  Board.  EBIT  is  quantified  on  a  constant 
currency basis in order to avoid any distortion caused by currency-driven translation effects when measuring 
actual management performance.

The second Group performance indicator reflected in JEV is the cash flow indicator cash flow before dividend, 
included in the calculation with a weighting of 25 %. For this purpose, cash flow before dividend is determined 
using a simplified approach, based on the management cash flow calculation. TUI Group EBIT, the indicator 
serving as the initial basis for calculations, is also shown on a constant currency basis for this purpose.

Risk Report

Successful management of existing and emerging risks is critical to the long-term success of our business 
and to the achievement of our strategic objectives. In order to seize market opportunities and leverage the 
potential for success, risk must be accepted to a reasonable degree. Risk management is therefore an integral 
component of the Group’s Corporate Governance. 

identifying only those developments that could jeopardise the companies continued existence, it has also 
included the active management of all other material risks. Management is limited to risks only, chances or 
opportunities are managed in the controlling process; legal chances are reported in a separate legal risk 
report.

Following the introduction of the FISG (“Finanzmarktintegritätsstärkungsgesetz”), we have taken the oppor-
tunity to review the Group’s existing Risk Management System. At TUI, managing risk has always been a vital 
part of how we conduct our business. Our fully developed risk management system has not been limited to 

The TUI Group Audit Committee has always been reviewing the adequacy and effectiveness of the risk 
management system and will continue to do so, but as the law now explicitly requires this, we have included 
the Committee in the risk governance overview below.

A U D I T   C O M M I T T E E
The Audit Committee, as a subcommittee of the Supervisory Board, is overseeing the effectiveness of the 
risk management system. The Group Risk Department Head reports twice a year on the system itself, on 
topics which have been discussed in the Risk Oversight Committee, the principal risks and their changes. The 
Committee considers the adequacy and the effectiveness of the risk management system and reviews and 
acknowledges the risk appetite formulated by the Executive Board.

Leaders of central functions as well as senior executives from the Group’s major businesses are invited on a 
rotational  basis  to  present  on  their  risk  and  control  framework.  This  allows  members  of  the  ROC  to  ask 
questions on the processes in place, the risks present in each business or function, as well as any new or 
evolving risks which may be on their horizon. It also provides opportunity to seek confirmation that an 
appropriate risk culture continues to be in place in each of the major businesses and that there are no gaps 
between risk management at business level and at function level.

E X E C U T I V E   B O A R D   –   D I R E C T   &   A S S U R E 
With  oversight  by  the  Supervisory  Board,  the  Executive  Board  determines  the  strategic  direction  of  the 
Group and agrees the nature and extent of the risks it is willing to take to achieve its strategic objectives. 

The ROC reports bi-annually to the Executive Board to ensure that it is kept abreast of changes in the risk 
landscape and developments in the management of principal risks, and to facilitate regular quality discus-
sions on risk management at the Executive Board meetings.

Ultimate accountability for the Group’s risk management rests with the Executive Board and therefore it has 
established and maintains a risk management system to identify, assess, manage and monitor risks which 
could threaten the existence of the company or have a significant impact on the achievement of its strategic 
objectives: these are referred to as the principal risks of the Group. This risk management system includes 
an internally-published risk management policy which helps to reinforce the tone set from the top on risk, 
by instilling an appropriate risk culture in the organisation whereby employees are expected to be risk aware, 
control minded and to ’do the right thing’. The policy provides a formal structure for risk management to 
embed it in the fabric of the business. Each principal risk has assigned to it a member of the Executive Board 
as overall risk sponsor to ensure that there is clarity of responsibility and to ensure that each of the principal 
risks are understood fully and managed effectively.

STATEMENTS AND NOTES

The Executive Board reports to the Audit Committee of the Supervisory Board on the adherence to both 
the UK and German listing requirements, the overall risk position of the Group, on the individual principal 
risks and their management, and on the performance and effectiveness of the risk management system as 
a whole.

R I S K   O V E R S I G H T   C O M M I T T E E   –   R E V I E W   &   C O M M U N I C AT E
On behalf of the Executive Board, the Risk Oversight Committee (the ROC), ensures that business risks are 
identified, assessed, managed and monitored across the businesses and functions of the Group. Meeting on 
a quarterly basis, the ROC’s responsibilities include considering the principal risks to the Group’s strategy 
and the risk appetite for each of those risks, assessing the operational effectiveness of the mitigation in 
place to manage those risks and any action plans to further mitigate them, as well as reviewing the bottom- up 
risk reporting from the businesses themselves to assess whether there are any heightened areas of concern.

Chaired by the Chief Financial Officer, senior operational and finance management as well as those central 
functions which are fulfilling the role as a second line are represented on the committee.

G R O U P   R I S K   T E A M   –   S U P P O R T   &   R E P O R T 
The Executive Board has also established a Group Risk team to ensure that an adequate risk management 
system is set up and functions effectively and that the risk management policy is implemented appropriately 
across  the  Group.  The  team  supports  the  risk  management  process  by  providing  guidance,  support  and 
challenge to management whilst acting as the central point for coordinating, monitoring and reporting on 
risk across the Group. It also supports the ROC in fulfilling it’s duties and the reporting to both the Executive 
and Supervisory Boards. Additionally, Group Risk is responsible for the operation of the risk and control 
software that underpins the Group’s risk reporting and risk management process.

B U S I N E S S   &   F U N C T I O N S   –   I D E N T I F Y   &   A S S E S S
Every business and function in the Group is required to adopt the Group Risk Management policy. In order 
to do this, each either has their own risk committee or includes risk as a regular agenda item at their Board 
meetings to ensure that it receives the appropriate senior management attention within their business. In 
addition, the businesses each appoint a Risk Champion, who promotes the risk management policy within 
their business and ensures its effective application. The Risk Champions are in close contact with Group Risk 
and are critical both in ensuring that the risk management system functions effectively, and in implementing 
a culture of continuous awareness and improvement in risk management and reporting.

Risk Appetite

The Executive Board and Audit Committee, in conjunction with the Risk Oversight Committee has reviewed 
the Group’s risk appetite. The results of the review indicate the board’s risk appetite across three risk types:

Operational risks – moderate risk tolerance with regard to all operational risks. With the market environ-
ment returning to normal and the Group's business volume rising substantially, capacity bottlenecks in parts 
of the infrastructure led to business interruptions in the completed financial year, which the TUI Group was 
only able to influence to a limited extent. These external events thus temporarily led to an overall increase in 
the operational risk portfolio. The Executive Board has taken measures to increase the operational resilience 
of the business and aims to manage operational risks appropriately in order to continue to offer our customers 
consistent unique holiday experiences.

Compliance risks – a lower risk tolerance with regard to compliance-related risks, including compliance with 
regulatory requirements, the security of information in any form and the prevention of harm to customers, 
employees and all other stakeholders.

Financial risks – a continued low, but temporarily slightly increased risk tolerance with regard to financial 
risks due to volatile prices of important tourism expenses. In the current financial year, the Group has taken 
various  measures  to  reduce  the  debts  incurred  in  the  context  of  the  COVID-19  pandemic.  The  Executive 
Board's goal is to further reduce the German government's exposure and improve balance sheet ratios. With 
a fundamentally unchanged hedging policy, the hedging ratios for all input costs in foreign currency and fuel 
risks are currently still below the target values. We assume that the hedging ratios will approach the historical 
ratios again in the medium term.

Our principal risks are aligned to these risk types.

Risk Reporting

The  Group  Risk  department  applies  a  consistent  risk  reporting  methodology  across  the  Group.  This  is 
underpinned by risk and control software which reinforces clarity of language, visibility of risks, mitigation 
and  actions  and  accountability  of  ownership.  Although  the  process  of  risk  identification,  assessment  and 
response is continuous and embedded within the day-to-day operations of the businesses and functions, it 
is consolidated, reported and reviewed at varying levels throughout the Group on at least a quarterly basis.

Risk Identification: Management closest to the risks identify those that are relevant to the pursuit of the 
strategy within their business area. 

A risk owner is assigned to each risk, who has the accountability and authority for ensuring that the risk is 
appropriately managed.

Risk Assessment: The methodology used is to initially assess the gross (or inherent) risk. This is essentially 
the downside, being the product of the impact together with the likelihood of the risk materialising if there 
is no mitigation in place to manage or monitor the risk. The key benefit of assessing the gross risk is that it 
highlights the potential risk exposure if mitigation were to fail completely or not be in place at all. Both 
impact and likelihood are scored using the criteria shown below:

STATEMENTS AND NOTES

The next step in the risk reporting process is to assess and document the mitigation currently in place to 
reduce the likelihood of the risk materialising and / or its impact if it does. Consideration of these then 
enables the current (or residual) risk score to be assessed, which is essentially the reasonably foreseeable 
scenario. This measures the impact and likelihood of the risk with the mitigation in place and effective. The 
key benefit of assessing the current risk score is that it provides an understanding of the current level of risk 
faced today and the reliance on the mitigation in place.

Risk Response: If management are comfortable that the current risk position is within the Group’s appetite, 
the risk is accepted and no further action is required to further reduce it. The mitigation continues to be 
operated and management monitor the risk, the mitigation and the risk landscape to ensure that it remains 
at an acceptable level. If management assesses that the current risk score is too high, an action plan will be 
drawn up with the objective of introducing new or stronger mitigation that will further reduce the impact 
and / or likelihood of the risk to an acceptable level. This is known as the target risk score and is the parameter 
by which management can ensure the risk is being managed in line with their overall risk appetite. The risk 
owner will normally be the individual tasked with ensuring that this action plan is implemented within an 
agreed timetable.

Each business and function will continue to review their risk register on an ongoing basis through the 
mechanism appropriate for their business e. g. local Risk Committee.

This bottom-up risk reporting is considered by the ROC alongside the Group’s principal risks. New risks are 
added to the Group’s principal risk register if deemed to be of a significant nature so that the ongoing status 
and the progression of key action plans can be managed in line with the Group’s targets and expectations.

A D   H O C   R I S K   R E P O R T I N G
Whilst  there  is  a  formal  process  in  place  for  reporting  on  risks  on  a  quarterly  basis,  the  process  of  risk 
identification, assessment and response is continuous and therefore if required, risks can be reported to the 
Executive Board outside of the quarterly process, should events dictate that this is necessary and appro-
priate. Ideally such ad hoc reporting is performed by the business or function which is closest to the risk, but 
it can be performed by the Group Risk department if necessary.

The Executive Board regularly reports to the Audit Committee of the Supervisory Board on the perform-
ance, effectiveness and adherence to listing requirements of the risk management system, supported by the 
ROC  and  the  Group  Risk  department.  Additionally,  the  Audit  Committee  receives  assurance  from  Group 
Audit through its audit plan over a selection of principal risks, processes and business transformation initia-
tives most critical to the Group’s continued success.

Risks within the appetite are those that considered to be at an acceptable level. For these, we have controls, 
processes and procedures in place as a matter of course that serve to mitigate each risk to either minimize 
the likelihood of the event occurring and / or minimise the impact if it does occur. These risks remain on our 
risk radar where we regularly monitor the risk, the mitigation and the risk landscape to ensure that the risk 
score stays stable and within our risk appetite in each case.

In the heat map diagram, the assessment criteria used are shown on page 37.

During  the  pandemic,  there  was  a  significant  reduction  in  the  companies’  operation  which  allowed  for  a 
lower level of operational risk management. Instead, financial risks in terms of liquidity management were 
the primary focus during that time and these were being closely monitored and managed by the Executive 
Board. 

Financial year 2022 principal risks

With the ramp up of the business towards the summer season, risk management activities throughout the 
operational  businesses  and  central  functions  resumed  and  formal  requirements  for  risk  reporting  were 
re-introduced taking into account changes to the business as a result of the ongoing transformation. This 
however came at the same time as the increased volumes began putting pressure on the external infrastructure 
when some operational risks increased over which we had only limited control.

Similarly to other external factors that have previously impacted our Group (e. g. the volcanic ash-cloud or 
grounding of the B737 Max fleet), we do not consider the COVID-19 pandemic as a risk in its own right, but 
as an event that has led to far-reaching consequences for our offer in source markets as well as destinations. 
This has led to several of our principal risks to materialise simultaneously, including: customer demand, input 
cost volatility, cashflow, destination disruption and security, health & safety. All of these principal risks 
continue to remain heightened throughout the pandemic.

The conclusion from all of the above assurance work is that despite the temporary operational weaknesses 
as businesss activity resumed, the risk management system has functioned effectively throughout the year 
and there have been no significant failings identified. Of course there is always room for improvement, 
especially considering the necessary adaptions to the changes in the Group during the pandemic and the 
Risk Champions and the Group Risk department continue to work together to enhance the risk management 
and reporting processes. 

Finally, in accordance with Section 317 (4) HGB (German Commercial Code), the auditor of TUI AG has 
reviewed the early detection system for risks in place as required by Section 91 (2) AktG (German Stock 
Corporation Act) to conclude, if the system can fulfill its duties. Following the auditing standard, the auditor 
has focused on the determination of the risk bearing capacity of TUI and the comparison of this performance 
indicator with the aggregation of the Group’s Risk portfolio. To determine the risk bearing capacity, we 
leveradge our considerations given and calculations made for the Viability Statement. This procedure has 
been approved by the Group Executive Committee.

Principal risks

The principal risks to the Group are either considered to be ’Above’ or ’Within’ risk appetite.

Risks above the appetite are those that either require further mitigation in order to reduce them to an 
acceptable position or are heightened by external events beyond our control. We have action plans in place 
to increase or strengthen mitigation around each of these risks and reduce the current risk score to the 
target level indicated in the heat map diagram.

Measures taken in order to react to this crisis have also heightened the principal risk profile. Therefore the 
lack of integration risk has increased, due to the volume and speed of transformation required within the 
Group in order to react to the impact; and the ability to attract and retain talent, due to the cost saving 
measures related to our employees. 

From  the  Executive  Board's  perspective,  despite  the  existing  risks,  the  TUI  Group  currently  has  and  will 
continue to have sufficient funds, resulting from both borrowings and operating cash flows, to meet its 
payment obligations and to ensure the going concern of the company accordingly in the foreseeable future. 
In this context, the Executive Board assumes that the credit lines expiring in summer 2024 will be refinanced. 
Therefore, as at 30 September 2022, the Executive Board does not identify any material uncertainty that 
may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. 

In its assessment, the Executive Board assumes that booking behaviour in the 2023 financial year will largely 
correspond to the pre-pandemic level. The Executive Board assumes that travel behaviour will not be affected 
by further long-term closures and lockdowns or by the impact of Russia's war of aggression on Ukraine. 

The Executive Board does not consider the remaining risk with regard to a further pandemic / war-related 
change in booking behaviour to be a threat to the company's existence. Nevertheless, the intensified general 
price increase of recent months could continue, in particular due to rising energy costs, and lead to a 
significant reduction in the private budget available for travel services, thus lowering purchasing power and 
resulting in declining customer demand. In addition, a permanent increase in fuel costs as well as other 
services, especially those we purchase in US dollars, could lead to an increase in our input costs. In view of 
the disruptions in our flight operations in H2 2022, we have initiated measures to increase the resilience of 

our flight operations, for example by deploying more stand-by aircraft. In the medium term, we expect the 
situation at international airports to ease.

If the risk detail in the subsequent tables does not suggest otherwise, the risks shown below relate to all 
segments of the Group. The risks listed are the principal risks to which we are exposed but are not exhaus-
tive and will evolve over time due to the dynamic nature of our business.

  For further information please refer to the Viability Statement on page 48.

  See chapter Going Concern Reporting in accordance with UK Corporate Governance Code, page 162.

The Group’s strategy ensures that we are more vertically integrated, which reduces the impact of disruption 
by pure digital players. 

The overall strategy is to drive profitable topline growth whilst reducing our cost base. This involves the in-
tegration of our businesses and the development of core platform capabilities and technical infrastructure 
providing flexibility of IT services.

Our  focus  is  on  enhancing  our  operations  and  customer  experience  by  providing  engaging,  intuitive  and 
seamless customer service through the delivery of these projects. 

The lack of integration and flexibility within our systems and operations, particularly in the Markets & Airline 
businesses can impact our competitiveness and our ability to provide a superior customer experience as well 
as to deliver on quality and operational efficiency.

•  We develop our own software solutions and combine them in an ecosystem for use in all markets of our 

Markets & Airlines division.

•  Integration and development of Musement IT platform as technology driver for Customer Experience.
•  An established Global Transformation Office to monitor all initiatives to ensure they are on track as well 

as regularly provide status updates to the Group Executive Committee.

•  An established Asset Transformation Board, chaired by the Chief Strategy Officer that reviews the current 

asset portfolio within our airline, hotels and cruise businesses.

•  Strong project management structures exist for all of the major restructuring, acquisition and disposal 

programs, which are underway to ensure that they are managed effectively.

•  Project reporting tool ensures enhanced visibility of the progress of major projects as a matter of routine.
•  Centralised management structures to oversee the Markets and Airline businesses.

Spending on travel and tourism is discretionary and price sensitive as well as competitive. The economic 
outlook remains uncertain. Furthermore, in recent years there has been an emergence of successful substi-
tute business models such as web-based travel and hotel portals which allow end users to combine the 
individual elements of a holiday trip on their own and book them separately.

There is the risk that these external factors within our industry will impact on the spending power as well as 
the desire to travel of our customers. This could impact our short-term growth rates and lead to margin 
erosion.

Customer demand has returned after the significant impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, the 
Russian  war  of  aggression  against  Ukraine  and  energy  prices  are  significantly  worsening  the  economic 
outlook in our key markets. 

•  Our market position as a globally operating tourism group, our brand and our integrated business model 

enables us to respond robustly to competitive threats.

•  The Group is characterised by the continuous development of new holiday experiences, developing new 
concepts and services which match the needs and preferences of our customers. Our strong and lasting 
relationships with our key hotel partners further reinforces our ability to develop new concepts exclusive 
to the Group.

•  Experience shows that many consumers give high priority to their travel spending.
•  Leveraging our scale to keep costs down and prices competitive.
•  The multitude of source markets, which react to external shocks to varying degrees, can lead to a balancing 

effect.

•  Promoting the benefits of travelling with a globally operating tour operator to increase customer confi-
dence and peace of mind. This became particularly prominent during the pandemic where customers are 
seeking a higher level of security from reputable companies.

Adverse  climate  conditions  (heat-waves,  droughts,  heavy  rain)  bear  the  risk  that  customer  demand  for 
popular holiday destinations, where TUI is active, decline. This could impact our mid-term growth and the 
valuation of our hotel assets in these countries.

•  With our asset right strategy in our hotels business, we aim a mix of owned, leased or other partnership 
arrangements  to  manage  the  investment  into  the  holiday  destinations.  This  secures  capacity  and  thus 
limiting the financial investment.

Tourism  is  an  inherently  seasonal  business  with  the  majority  of  profits  earned  in  the  European  summer 
months. Cash flows are similarly seasonal with the cash high occurring in the summer as advance payments 
and final balances are received from customers, with the cash low occurring in the winter as liabilities have 
to be settled with many suppliers after the end of the summer season.

•  The Executive Board has continued to place significant focus on the review of the Group’s cash flow position 

during and after the COVID-19 crisis period.

•  The resumption of holidays, and ramp-up of operations during 2022 have contributed towards improving 

the cash positon. 

There is the risk that if we do not adequately manage cash balances through the winter low period this could 
impact on the Group’s liquidity and ability to settle liabilities as they fall due whilst ensuring that financial 
covenants are maintained.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic the Group has experienced increasing challenges to the cashflow pro-
file. This is due to operational activity being significantly reduced during the summer months, which is the 
time when the majority of cash balances are received from customers. After two years heavily impacted by 
the COVID-19 pandemic, operational activity has recovered during H2 2022, leading to a more normalised 
cashflow profile again. Nevertheless, we are still experiencing a significantly shorter booking profile whereby 
customers are booking very close to departure and therefore cash deposits are received later than previous 
booking patterns and the cash balances are subject to higher short tem movements.

The price increases observed in the year under review had no relevant impact on customer demand.

•  With the customer deposits received for the coming seasons , the positive cash flow in 2022 and, the net 
funds from the financing measures implemented in the year under review (capital increases in October 
2021 and May 2022 net of government hand-backs), the Executive Board believes that, despite the existing 
risks, the TUI Group currently has and will continue to have sufficient funds resulting both from the bor-
rowing and from operating cash flows to meet its payment obligations and to continue as a going concern. 
The Executive Board no longer considers the remaining risk with regard to a further pandemic-related 
change in booking behaviour as a threat to the company as a going concern. For the 2023 financial year, it 
is expected that booking behaviour will largely correspond to the pre-pandemic level. The Executive Board 
assumes that travel behaviour will not be affected by further long-term closures and lockdowns or by the 
impact of Russia's war of aggression on Ukraine. 

•  The Executive Board does not consider the remaining risk with regard to a further pandemic / war-related 
change in booking behaviour to be a threat to the company's existence. In view of the disruptions in our 
flight operations in H2 2022, we have initiated measures to increase the resilience of our flight operations, 
for example by deploying more stand-by aircraft. In the medium term, we expect the situation at interna-
tional airports to ease.

•  Our focus on holiday experiences is helping to reduce the seasonality risk, as hotels, cruises and destination 

experiences have a more evenly distributed profit and cash profile across the year. 

•  As our business is spread across a number of markets, there are some counter-cyclical features e. g. winter 
is a more important season for the Nordic and Canadian markets. Some brands, such as the UK ski brand 
Crystal Ski, have a different seasonality profile which helps to counter-balance the overall profile.

•  The business regularly produces both short term and long term cash forecasts during the year – on a 
daily basis when needed – , which the Treasury department use to manage cash resources effectively. We 
continue to maintain high-quality relationships with the Group’s key financiers.  TUI  AG's  RCF and KfW 
credit line are subject to compliance with certain financial target values (covenants) for debt coverage and 
interest coverage, the review of which is carried out based on the last four reported quarters at the 
end of the financial year or the half-year of a financial year. Against the backdrop of the impact from the 
COVID-19 pandemic, the review was suspended until March 2022 and resumed in September 2022. Higher 
limits will be applied at the first two cut-off dates before normalised limits have to be complied with from 
September 2023. As of September 2022, TUI successfully complied with the financial covenants.

•  Regularly reviewing ways in which we can raise additional finance from the capital markets, should it be 

required, and how we can continue to improve our Free Cash Flow position.

A significant proportion of operating expenses are in non-local currency and / or relate to aircraft and cruise 
fuel which therefore exposes the business to fluctuations in both exchange rates and fuel prices.

•  An established Hedging Committee that monitors the Group’s hedging position.
•  Ensuring that the appropriate derivative financial instruments are used to provide hedging cover for the 

underlying transactions involving fuel and foreign currency.

There is the risk that if we do not manage adequately the volatility of exchange rates, fuel prices and other 
input costs, then this could result in increased costs and lead to margin erosion, impacting on our ability to 
achieve profit targets. As a result of the pandemic there is also a risk that there will be only limited lines 
available to put in place hedges to manage the volatility of future seasons.

•  Maintaining an appropriate hedging policy to ensure that hedging cover is taken out ahead of the markets’ 
customer booking profiles, where hedging lines allow. This provides a degree of certainty over input costs 
when planning pricing and capacity, whilst also allowing some flexibility in prices so as to be able to 
respond to competitive pressures if necessary.

Furthermore, changes in macroeconomic conditions, such as those that were experienced as a result of the 
pandemic and other geo-political events, like the war on Ukraine, can have an impact on fuel rates and 
exchange rates which, particularly for the £ / € rate has a direct impact on the translation of non-euro market 
results into euros, the reporting currency of our Group. The recent increase in inflationary pressures has led to 
central banks increasing interest rates. The aggressive raising of US interest rates by the US Federal Reserve 
vs. a slower pace of monetary tightening by other central banks, most notably the ECB, has increased interest 
rate differentials and caused the US dollar to strengthen against other currencies such as the Euro and British 
Pound. Where the Group has unhedged exposures, this will have an adverse impact on input costs denomi-
nated in US dollars.

•  Tracking the foreign exchange and fuel markets to ensure the most up-to-date market intelligence and the 

ongoing appropriateness of our hedging policies.

•  Expressing our key profit growth target in constant currency terms so that short term performance can 

be assessed without the distortion caused by exchange rate fluctuations.

We are currently unable to exercise all controls as our banking lines do not sufficiently cover all of the Group’s 
hedging needs. We regard this as a temporary situation which has already significantly improved in the 
recent months.

   Further information on currency and fuel hedges can be found in the Notes to the consolidated financial statements in the 

 Financial instruments section.

Our main concern is whether or not all of our airlines will continue to have access to EU airspace as now. 
If we were unable to continue to fly intra-EU routes, such as from Germany to Spain, this would have a 
significant operational and financial impact on the Group.

Other areas of uncertainty include the status of our UK employees working in the EU and vice versa and the 
potential for customer visa requirements for holidays from the UK to the EU.

•  Dedicated workstreams to coordinate suitable mitigation strategies where the UK exit from the European 

Union has impacted on our operations, particularly the airlines.

•  Regular engagement and lobbying towards relevant UK and EU decision makers to stress the continued 
importance of a liberalised and less regulated aviation market across Europe to allow access to investment 
capital and to protect consumer choice in both regions.

Our responsibility is to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the data we process for our 
customers, employees, and businesses.

This  is  an  evolving  risk  due  to  increasing  digitalisation,  embracing  emerging  technologies,  growing  global 
cyber-crime activity, Russia-Ukraine conflict and more regulation (e. g. EU GDPR). Our consolidation under 
the TUI brand and increasing dependence on online sales and customer care increases our exposure and the 
potential worst-case impact of a successful cyber-attack.

If we do not ensure we have the appropriate level of security controls in place across the Group, this could 
have a significant negative impact on our key stakeholders, associated reputational damage and potential for 
financial implications.

•  Continued commitment from the Executive Board in support of key initiatives to ensure existing and fu-
ture IT systems are secure by design, that exposure to vulnerability is managed, user access is monitored, 
and colleagues are made aware of information security risks through appropriate training – Security first 
in everything we do.

•  Increasing the maturity and coverage of our Security Operations Centre and monitoring tools to anticipate, 

detect and respond to criminal attacks and resolve information security incidents.

•  Scaling out our Security Engineering capability to ensure controls are embedded in the application devel-

opment pipeline as TUI’s information technology is transformed.

•  Continuous improvement through lessons learned from real or simulated cyber incidents.

For the Group, economic, environmental and social sustainability is a fundamental management principle 
and a cornerstone of our strategy for continually enhancing the value of our Company. This is the way we 
create the conditions for long-term economic success and assume responsibility for sustainable transformation 
in the tourism sector.

•  The TUI Sustainability Agenda purpose is to set and drive industry standards, ambitious goals and develop 

transformation roadmaps for all parts of the business.

•  This means to actively engage colleagues, partners and customers, bringing sustainability to life in a 

tangible and emotional way.

STATEMENTS AND NOTES

Our focus is to reduce the environmental impact of our operations and promote responsible social policies 
and outcomes both directly through our own business and indirectly via our influence over our supply chain 
partners, thereby driving the sustainable transformation of the tourism industry. 

There is a risk that we are not successful in driving social and environmental improvements across our oper-
ations, that our suppliers do not uphold our corporate and social responsibility standards and we fail to 
influence destinations to manage tourism more sustainably.

•  The  Group  Sustainability  department  sets  clear  goals,  priorities,  and  the  framework  to  deliver  the 

Sustainability Agenda.

•  Operating one of the most carbon efficient airlines in Europe with continued investment in new, more 

efficient aircraft and cruise ships.

•  Our ambition is to achieve net-zero emissions across our operations and supply chain by 2050 at the latest.
•  Science-based targets have been set for our airline, hotel and cruise operations by 2030, validated by the 

Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).

•  Development and implementation of emission reduction roadmaps for airlines, cruises and hotels to 

significantly reduce emissions.

If we do not maximise our positive impact on destinations and minimise the negative impact to the extent 
that our stakeholders expect, this could result in a decline in stakeholder confidence, reputational damage 
and reduction in demand for our products and services.

•  Adhering to increasingly supply chain focused regulations (e. g. German Supply Chain Act, EU Supply chain 
due diligence regulation 2025) rolling out new processes and structure with a strong focus on procurement.
•  Implemented an environmental management system with all TUI airlines having achieved ISO 14001 certifi-

cation.

•  Driving up social and environmental standards through accommodation suppliers achieving certifications 
recognised by the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) and applying the GSTC Criteria to TUI experiences.

•  Enabling customers to make more sustainable holiday choices by launching our Green & Fair label.

Providers of holiday and travel services are exposed to the inherent risk of failure in their key suppliers, 
particularly  for  hotels,  aircraft  and  cruise  ships.  This  is  heightened  by  the  industry  convention  of  paying 
hoteliers in advance (’prepayments’) to secure a level of room allocation for the season as well as in areas 
where a single supplier is used to provide a product or service.

There is the risk that we are unable to continue with our core operations in the event of a major service 
failure from our key suppliers.

This risk has crystalised during the summer season when capacity bottlenecks in third party infrastructure 
caused some temporarily business interruption.

•  Working with partners in the Destination Co-Lab to develop Rhodes into a beacon for sustainable develop-

ment of holiday destinations, with the ambition to share the learnings.

•  We are working on improving our alignment to climate-related financial disclosures in line with the TCFD, 

by publishing TUI Groups first TCFD statement in this Annual Report.

 See page 123.

•  Using reputable and financially stable suppliers, particularly in areas where a single supplier is used to 

provide a service.

•  Regular monitoring of supplier performance against agreed terms and conditions.
•  Strong working relationships with all key suppliers.
•  Owned and joint venture partner hotels form a substantial part of our program which reduces our inherent 

risk in this area.

•  A robust prepayment authorisation process is established and embedded to both limit the level of 

prepayments made and ensure that they are only paid to trusted, credit-worthy counterparties.

•  Prepayments are monitored on a timely and sufficiently granular basis to manage our financial exposure 

to justifiable levels.

•  Developing adequate controls around key suppliers operative ability. In service meetings, for example, we 
discuss current challenges with suppliers even more closely, so that we are also in a position to react 
operationally ourselves.

Providers of holiday and travel services are exposed to the inherent risk of external events affecting desti-
nations. This can include natural disasters such as hurricanes or tsunamis; outbreaks of disease such as the 
COVID-19 pandemic; political volatility as has been seen in Egypt, Turkey and Greece in recent years; the 
implications of war in countries close to our markets and destinations; and terrorist events such as the trag-
ic incident in Tunisia in 2015.

•  Within our Group SHS centre of excellence we have a centralised Crisis Management Planning and Co- 
ordination function, providing centralised frameworks, personnel reporting structures, incident manage-
ment systems and crisis communications plans for use in the local delivery of any response.

•  Our well-established crisis management procedures and emergency response plans are activated when an 

event of this nature occurs and focus on the welfare of our customers.

There is the risk that if such an event occurs, impacting one or more of our destinations that we could 
potentially suffer operational disruption and costs. We may be required to repatriate our customers and / or 
the event could lead to a significant decline in demand for holidays to the affected destinations over an 
extended period of time.

B .   S E C U R I T Y  H E A LT H   &   S A F E T Y  FA I L U R E

The safety and security of customers and colleagues is of paramount importance to any holiday and travel 
service provider.

There is the risk of accidents, incidents or events occurring causing illness, injury or death to customers or 
colleagues whilst on a TUI holiday or provided activity or service. 

•  Due to our presence in key holiday destinations, in the event of a local event occurring, we can offer alter-
native options to our customers and remix our destination portfolio away from the affected area in future 
seasons if necessary.

•  The established Group Security, Health & Safety (Group SHS) centre of excellence oversees safety and

Most providers of holiday and travel services operate across a number of economies and jurisdictions, which 
therefore exposes them to a range of regulatory laws which must be complied with.

As we are operating from multiple source markets and providing holidays in more than many destinations, 
we are exposed to a range of laws and regulations with which we must comply or else risk incurring fines or 
other sanctions from regulatory bodies.

It is common for tourism groups to use joint venture partnerships in some of their operations in order to 
reduce the risk of new ventures, to gain access to their expertise of the local market as well as to strengthen 
the balance sheet position in line with our less capital intensive “asset-right” strategy (e. g. the transaction 
completed with Riu). There are three significant joint ventures within the Group – Riu, TUI Cruises and 
Sunwing.

  For details on our strategy refer to page 23.

There is the risk that if we do not maintain good relations with our key partners that the ventures’ objectives 
may not remain consistent with that of the Group which could lead to operational difficulties and jeopardize 
the achievement of financial targets.

•  Communication and strong tone from the top concerning compliance with laws and regulations.
•  Risk based compliance management systems managing the most relevant legal areas for the Group.
•  Regular reporting of Integrity and Compliance Director in different bodies (Group Executive Committee, 
Audit Committee, Group Works Council) in order to guarantee appropriate monitoring, supervision and 
implementation of action plans and to strengthen the Integrity & Compliance culture across the Group.
•  Embedded legal expertise in all major businesses responsible for maintaining high quality relationships 

with the relevant regulators and authorities.

•  Ongoing implementation and review of Compliance Management System conducted by the Group Integ-
rity & Compliance department to monitor compliance with regulations and provide expert advice to local 
teams on specific compliance areas.

•  Good working relationships exist with all of our main joint venture partners and they are fully aligned with 

and committed to the growth strategy of the Group.

In accordance with Rule 31 of the UK Corporate Governance Code, the Executive Board assesses the Com-
pany’s future prospects for a period exceeding the twelve months required by the going concern premise. 
The Executive Board reviews the business development annually and on a rolling basis based on a three-year 
strategic plan. The current three-year plan was adopted in October 2022 and covers the period until 30 Sep-
tember  2025.  A  three-year  horizon  is  considered  appropriate  for  a  fast  moving  competitive  environment 
such as tourism. 

The global travel restrictions to contain COVID-19 have had a continuous negative impact on the Group's 
earnings and liquidity development since the end of March 2020. To cover the resulting liquidity needs, the 
Group has carried out various financing measures in the financial years 2020 and 2021, which, in addition to 
a capital increase, the use of the banking and capital markets and cash inflows from the sale of assets, also 
include financing measures from the Federal Republic of Germany in the form of a KfW credit line totalling 
€ 2.85 bn, an option bond from the Economic Stabilisation Fund (WSF) totalling € 150 m and two silent par-
ticipations from the WSF totalling € 1.091 bn. The financing measures are described in detail in the annual 
reports for the past two financial years.

With the entry of the new shares in the commercial register on 28 October 2021 and final settlement with 
the participating banks on 2 November 2021, TUI AG successfully completed another capital increase. The 
gross issue proceeds totalled around € 1.1 bn. The Group's share capital increased nominally by € 523.5 m to 
€ 1.623 bn. 

On 17 May 2022, TUI AG placed around 162.3 m new shares with institutional investors in the framework of 
a capital increase against cash contributions without subscription rights for shareholders by way of an accel-
erated placement, corresponding to around 10 % of TUI AG's share capital. The gross proceeds of around 
€ 425.2 m from the capital increase and available cash were used to fully repay the German government's 
silent participation II (Economic Stabilisation Fund, 'WSF') of € 671.0 m in full ahead of schedule on 30 June 
2022. Including the coupons to be shown as dividends, TUI repaid € 725.4 m to the WSF. Following full repay-
ment  and  termination  of  the  KfW  credit  line,  TUI  has  to  pay  remuneration  to  the  German  state  for  the 
coupons saved by the early repayment of Silent Participation II. 

As at 30 September 2022,  TUI Group's revolving credit facilities totalled € 3.74 bn, they have a term until 
summer 2024. The financing commitments available until 30 September 2021 were utilised in the amount of 
€ 0.6 bn as at the balance sheet date.

With regard to the KfW credit lines, it was also agreed that TUI AG would use 50 % of individual cash inflows 
exceeding € 50 m by 20 July 2022, but not exceeding € 700 m, for example from capital measures or dispos-
als of assets or companies, to reduce the financing granted to TUI AG to bridge the effects of COVID-19. In 
accordance with this agreement, TUI AG returned the unused credit facility of € 170 m on 1 April 2022. In 
addition, the volume of unused credit commitments under the KfW credit line as at 31 March 2022 was re-
duced by € 413.7 m. Finally, 913 of the 1,500 warrant bonds issued to WSF were redeemed. A purchase price 

of € 91.3 m plus accrued interest and early repayment penalties of € 7.2 m was paid for these. On June 30, 2022, 
the existing and at that date undrawn KfW credit lines were reduced by a further € 336 m to € 2.1 bn. 

For regulatory reasons due to Brexit, the credit line of a British bank (around € 80 m liquid funds and 
€ 25 m guarantee line) could not be extended beyond summer 2022. It was therefore repaid or terminated 
as of July 20, 2022.

After 20 July 2022, 50 % of individual specific cash inflows exceeding € 50 m must be used to reduce the 
financing granted to TUI AG to bridge the effects of COVID-19; there is no maximum limit.

TUI AG's € 1.64 bn credit line from private banks and KfW credit line are subject to compliance with certain 
financial target values (covenants) for debt coverage and interest coverage, the review of which is carried out 
on the basis of the last four reported quarters at the end of the financial year or the half-year of a financial 
year. Against the backdrop of the ongoing pressures from the COVID-19 pandemic, the review has only been 
resumed in September 2022 and TUI was in full compliance. In addition, higher limits are to be applied on 
the first two cut-off dates before normalised limits have to be complied with from September 2023. 

The support and stabilisation package as well as the further financing measures are described in detail in the 
chapter ’Going concern reporting according to the UK Corporate Governance Code’ in the notes. 

   See chapter Going Concern Reporting in accordance with the UK Corporate Governance Code, page 162.

Currently, TUI Group is only marginally affected by the negative financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Although the number of COVID-19 cases remained high, in particular due to the rapid spread of the Omicron 
variant, contact restriction measures and travel restrictions were gradually eased in most countries in the 
first months of the calendar year and business was fully resumed in all segments. As of April 2022, the entire 
fleet of the Cruises Segment was in operation, and as of summer 2022, the Hotels & Resorts Segment was 
able to offer the entire product portfolio. Demand recovered very robustly, albeit later than assumed in the 
previous year's planning due to the travel restrictions in place at the beginning of the financial year. In the 
Cruises  segment,  the  recovery  in  demand  started  later  than  in  the  other  segments.  As  a  result  of  the 
pandemic, a more short-term booking behaviour continues to be observed. The unprecedented restart of 
business  led  to  flight  disruptions,  particularly  in  the  UK  and  the  Netherlands,  but  also  in  other  source 
markets, which impacted the Group's result. The price increase in the course of the financial year, especially 
for fuel, and changes in exchange rates could not be fully offset by higher travel prices and additionally 
burdened the result in the past financial year.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL 

STATEMENTS AND NOTES

From  the  Executive  Board's  perspective,  despite  the  existing  risks,  the  TUI  Group  currently  has  and  will 
continue to have sufficient funds, resulting from both borrowings and operating cash flows, to meet its pay-
ment obligations and to ensure the going concern of the company accordingly in the foreseeable future. In 
this context, the Executive Board assumes that the credit lines expiring in summer 2024 will be refinanced. 
Therefore, as at 30 September 2022, the Executive Board does not identify any material uncertainty that 
may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. 

In its assessment, the Executive Board assumes that booking behaviour in the 2023 financial year will largely 
correspond to the pre-pandemic level. The Executive Board assumes that travel behaviour will not be affected 
by further long-term closures and lockdowns or by the impact of Russia's war of aggression on Ukraine. 

The Executive Board does not consider the remaining risk with regard to a further pandemic / war-related 
change in booking behaviour to be a threat to the company's existence. Nevertheless, the  TUI Group's 
performance  might  be  impaired  by  the  following  factors.  The  intensified  general  price  increase  of  recent 
months could continue, in particular due to rising energy costs, and lead to a significant reduction in the 
private  budget  available  for  travel  services,  thus  lowering  purchasing  power  and  resulting  in  declining 
customer demand. In addition, a permanent increase in fuel costs as well as other services, especially those 
we purchase in US dollars, could lead to an increase in our input costs. Further burdens could result from 
continued or increased flight disruptions. If these risks were to materialise, compliance with the financial 
covenants as at 31 March 2023 and 30 September 2023 could be jeopardised. The Executive Board considers 
the simultaneous occurrence of these risks to be very unlikely and therefore assumes that the financial 
targets (covenants) will be met.

Taking into account the current situation of the Group, the main risks and the above-mentioned sensitivity 
analysis, the Executive Board has a reasonable expectation that the Group will be able to continue opera-
tions and meet the obligations arising within the three-year period under review.

Key features of the internal control and risk management system in  
relation to the (Group) accounting process (sections 289 (4) and 315 (4)  
of the German Commercial Code)

1 .   C O N C E P T U A L   F R A M E W O R K   A N D   G O V E R N A N C E 
The internationally recognised framework created by COSO (Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the 
Treadway Commission) forms the conceptual basis for TUI Group’s accounting-related internal control system.

On the basis of section 107 (3) of the German Stock Corporation Act, the Audit Committee of the Supervi-
sory Board of TUI AG reviews the auditing of the annual financial statements, monitoring the accounting 
process and the effectiveness of the internal control and risk management systems. The reliability of financial 
reporting and the monitoring of the financial accounting process as well as the effectiveness of the internal 
control and risk management systems are described in the Audit Committee Report. This also takes account 
of the effectiveness of the accounting-related internal control and risk management system.

  Report of the Audit Committee, see page 18.

The Group’s auditors gain insight into TUI Group’s established control environment and control measures. 
The  accounting-related  audits  by  the  auditor  are  complemented  by  an  assessment  of  selected  control 
definitions  and  their  implementation.  The  audit  of  the  consolidated  financial  statements  by  the  Group 
auditor and the audit of the individual financial statements of Group companies included in the consolidated 
financial statements, in particular, constitute a key non-process-related monitoring measure in relation to 
Group accounting.

In  Group  accounting,  the  risk  management  system,  implemented  as  a  component  of  the  internal  control 
system in the form of an Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) System, also addresses the risk of misstate-
ments in Group bookkeeping and external reporting. A more detailed explanation of the risk management 
system is provided in the section on Risk Governance in the Risk Report.

2 .   U S E   O F   I T   S Y S T E M S
Bookkeeping transactions are captured in the individual financial statements of TUI AG and of the sub-
sidiaries of TUI AG through local accounting systems, above all supplied by SAP. When preparing TUI AG’s 
consolidated  financial  statements,  the  subsidiaries  complement  their  individual  financial  statements  by 
setting up standardised reporting packages in the Oracle Hyperion Financial Management (HFM) reporting 
system. HFM is used as the uniform reporting and consolidation system throughout the Group and hence no 
additional interfaces are involved in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

All  consolidation  processes  used  to  prepare  the  consolidated  financial  statements  of  TUI  AG,  e. g.  capital 
consolidation, the consolidation of assets and liabilities and the elimination of expenses and income and at 
equity measurement, are generated and fully documented in HFM. Virtually all elements of TUI AG’s consol-
idated financial statements, including the disclosures in the Notes, are developed from and validated by the 
HFM consolidation system. HFM also provides various modules for evaluation purposes in order to present 
complementary information to explain TUI AG’s consolidated financial statements.

STATEMENTS AND NOTES

The HFM reporting and consolidation system has an in-built workflow process whereby, when the reporting 
companies capture their data packages within the system, they are then locked out from making any further 
changes to that data. This ensures data integrity within the system. This workflow process has been checked 
and validated by the TUI AG Group Audit department on several occasions since the system was introduced.

At their own discretion, TUI AG’s Group auditors select certain individual financial statements from the financial 
statements entered in the HFM reporting and consolidation system by the Group companies, which are then 
reviewed for the purposes of auditing the consolidated financial statements.

Specific risks related to (Group) accounting may arise, for example, from unusual or complex business trans-
actions, in particular at critical times towards the end of the financial year. Business transactions not rou-
tinely processed also entail special risks. The discretion necessarily granted to employees for the recognition 
and measurement of assets and liabilities may result in further (Group) accounting-related risks. The out-
sourcing and transfer of accounting-specific tasks to service companies may also give rise to specific risks. 

4 .   K E Y   R E G U L AT I O N   A N D   C O N T R O L   A C T I V I T I E S   T O   E N S U R E   P R O P E R   A N D   

R E L I A B L E   ( G R O U P )   A C C O U N T I N G 

The internal control measures aimed at securing proper and reliable (Group) accounting ensure that business 
transactions are fully recorded in a timely manner in accordance with legal requirements and the Articles of 
Association. This also ensures that assets and liabilities are properly recognised, measured and presented in 
the financial statements and the consolidated financial statements. The control operations also ensure that 
bookkeeping records provide reliable and comprehensive information.

Controls implemented to secure proper and reliable accounting include, for instance, analysis of facts and 
developments on the basis of specific indicators. Separation of administrative, execution, settlement and 
authorisation functions and the implementation of these functions by different persons reduces the potential 
for fraudulent operations. Organisational measures also aim to capture any corporate or Groupwide restruc-
turing or changes in sector business operations rapidly and appropriately in (Group) accounting. They also 
ensure, for instance, that bookkeeping transactions are correctly recognised in the period in which they 
occur in the event of changes in the IT systems used by the accounting departments of Group companies. 
The internal control system likewise ensures that changes in the TUI Group’s economic or legal environment 
are mapped and that new or amended accounting standards are correctly applied.

To safeguard financial processes, there is a Group-wide framework under which all major companies included 
in the consolidated financial statements as fully consolidated companies are required to report the nature of 
their controls and their implementation for financial reporting, fraud prevention and detection and effectiveness 
of  working  capital  management  in  relation  to  defined  risks  from  financial  processes  to  the  Group  Risk  & 
Controls function with system support and to assess their effectiveness on a quarterly basis. The Group Risk & 
Controls function reviews these reports on a sample basis and provides advice on how to improve efficiency 
and effectiveness. Where financial processes are carried out in the Group's own Shared Service Center, this 
function provides support for the further development of the process and control framework. Based on the 
feedback  received,  Internal  Audit  selects  companies  for  an  in-depth  review  of  the  control  measures  in 
accordance with its own risk assessment.

The TUI Group’s accounting policies together with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in 
compliance with EU legislation, govern the uniform accounting and measurement principles for the German 
and foreign companies included in TUI’s consolidated financial statements. They include general accounting 
principles and methods, policies concerning the statement of financial position, income statement, notes, 
management report and cash flow statement.

The TUI Group’s accounting policies also govern specific formal requirements for the consolidated financial 
statements. Besides defining the group of consolidated companies, they include detailed guidance on the 
reporting of financial information by those companies via the group reporting system HFM on a monthly, 
quarterly and year end basis. TUI’s accounting policies also include, for instance, specific instructions on the 
initiating, reconciling, accounting for and settlement of transactions between group companies or determi-
nation  of  the  fair  value  of  certain  assets,  especially  goodwill.  At  Group  level,  specific  controls  to  ensure 
proper and reliable (Group) accounting include the analysis and, where necessary, correction of the individual 
financial  statements  submitted  by  the  Group  companies,  taking  account  of  the  reports  prepared  by  the 
auditors and meetings to discuss the financial statements which involve both the auditors and local manage-
ment. Any further content that requires adjusting can be isolated and processed downstream. The control 
mechanisms already established in the HFM consolidation system minimise the risk of processing erroneous 
financial statements. Certain parameters are determined at Group level and have to be applied by Group 
companies. This includes parameters applicable to the measurement of pension provisions or other provisions 
and the interest rates to be applied when cash flow models are used to calculate the fair value of certain 
assets. The central implementation of impairment tests for goodwill recognised in the financial statements 
secures the application of uniform and standardized evaluation criteria.

5 .   D I S C L A I M E R
With the organisational, control and monitoring structures established by the TUI Group, the internal control 
and risk management system enables company-specific facts to be captured, processed and recognised in 
full and properly presented in the Group’s accounts.

REPORT

However, it lies in the very nature of the matter that discretionary decision-making, faulty checks, criminal 
acts and other circumstances, in particular, cannot be ruled out and will restrict the efficiency and reliability 
of the internal control and risk management systems, so that even Group-wide application of the systems 
cannot guarantee with absolute certainty the accurate, complete and timely recording of facts in the Group’s 
accounts.

Any  statements  made  relate  exclusively  to  TUI  AG  and  to  subsidiaries  according  to  IFRS  10  included  in

Overall Assessment by the Executive Board  
and Report on expected Developments

Actual business performance 2022 compared with our guidance 

Compared with our original expectations, the TUI Group's business performance was impacted by the travel 
restrictions caused by the spread of the Omicron variant in the course of the first half of the year and the 
associated booking restraint after the turn of the year. Following the successive lifting of the travel restric-
tions, business was fully resumed in all segments. As of April 2022, the entire fleet of the Cruises Segment 
was in operation, and as of summer 2022, the Hotels & Resorts Segment was able to offer the entire product 
portfolio. Demand recovered very robustly, albeit later than assumed in the previous year's planning due to 
the travel restrictions in place at the beginning of the financial year. In the Cruises segment, the recovery in 
demand started later than in the other segments. A more short-term booking behaviour continues to be 
observed. The restart of business led to flight disruptions, particularly in the UK and the Netherlands, but 
also in other source markets, which impacted the Group's result. The price increase in the course of the 
financial year, especially for fuel, and changes in exchange rates could not be fully offset by higher travel 
prices and additionally burdened the result in the past financial year.

As a result of the significant recovery in underlying EBIT, ROIC and value added also improved significantly in 
financial year 2022, as expected. In the year under review, TUI Group's ROIC amounted to 7.49 % (previous 
year – 30.02 %). Taking into account the Group's weighted average cost of capital of 12.63 %, this resulted in 
a negative Economic Value Added of € 280.7 m (previous year negative Economic Value Added of € 2.8 bn).

In accordance with our forecast, in which we had expected a significant increase in net tangible and financial 
investments, the Group had cash outflows from net tangible and financial investments of € 315.9 m in the 
reporting year (previous year cash inflows of € 699.1 m). 

As expected, the net debt of € 3.4 bn reported at the end of the financial year 2022 was significantly below 
the previous year's figure of € 5.0 bn. The significant decrease was influenced in particular by the cash inflow 
from operating activities of € 2,077.8 m as well as the cash inflow from the capital increases carried out in the 
reporting year in the amount of € 1,522.7 m less the funds used for the repayment of Silent Participation II 
to the Economic Stabilisation Fund of € 671.0 m. 

Overall, the operating and financial indicators showed a positive year-on-year development, as expected in 
our forecast.

In the year under review, turnover by the TUI Group rose from € 4.7 bn to € 16.5 bn. The year-on-year growth 
of 247.4 % at constant exchange rates thus matched the significant increase assumed in our forecast.

For financial year 2022, we had expected a significant reduction in specific CO2 emissions compared to 
financial year 2021. In the year under review, the relative CO2 emissions of our airlines reduced by 18.5 % 
from 78.0 g CO2 / rpk to 63.6 g CO2 / rpk. This improvement was somewhat weaker than expected, as business 
was slow to recover over the course of the year. It is mainly due to higher load factors compared to 2021 as 
well as our fleet renewal, which involves replacing older aircraft with new, more CO2-efficient aircraft.

Also in line with expectations, TUI Group's underlying EBIT recovered by € 2,484.2 m to an operating profit 
of € 408.7 m in financial year 2022. This means that the significant improvement in underlying EBIT that we 
had expected was achieved. In our Half-year Financial Report 2022, we had specified this expectation of a 
significantly positive underlying EBIT.

As expected, net charges of € 58.7 m were adjusted in the earnings statement in the reporting year.

Global economic growth is impacted by high inflation, the war in Ukraine with the associated tightening of 
gas supplies from Russia to Europe and the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The International 
Monetary Fund (IMF) revised its global growth forecast for calendar year 2023 down to 2.7 % (IMF, World 
Economic Outlook, October 2022).

International tourism has so far shown signs of a strong and steady recovery from the effects of the pan-
demic, despite a substantial increase in economic and geopolitical challenges. The recovery of tourism has 
picked up steam in many parts of the world, with international tourist arrivals in some regions already having 
returned to or even exceeding pre-pandemic levels. The robust recovery of tourism is reflected not only in 
the tourism data for many destinations across the globe, but also in various industry indicators such as air 
passenger  traffic  and  hotel  metrics.  In  fact,  the  stronger-than-expected  rise  in  demand  has  also  created 
substantial operational and workforce challenges in tourism companies and infrastructure, in particular 
airports (UNWTO, World Tourism Barometer, September 2022).

The lifting of the remaining travel restrictions and growing consumer confidence will be key stimuli for 
the  further  recovery  of  the  sector  in  an  environment  of  increasing  economic  headwinds  and  geopolitical 
challenges. The combination of higher interest rates in all major economies, rising energy and food prices 
and the weak development of the global economy, with the growing prospect of recession in some regions, 
are of major relevance for the further recovery of international tourism in 2023. The potential slowdown can 
be seen in the latest UNWTO Confidence Index, which reflects a more cautious outlook, as well as in booking 
trends, which are showing signs of slower growth (UNWTO, World Tourism Barometer, September 2022).

E F F E C T S   O N   T U I   G R O U P
As a global tourism provider, TUI Group depends on the political and legal framework and on consumer 
demand in the big source markets in which we operate with our hotel, cruise and tour operator brands. Our 
budget is based on the IMF’s assumptions about the future development of the global economy and takes 
its cue from UNWTO’s long-term forecast. 

In view of the environment characterised by the pandemic, Russia's ongoing war of aggression on Ukraine 
and the intensified general price increase in recent months, the Executive Board believes it would not be 
appropriate to issue a specific quantitative forecast for revenue and underlying EBIT for the new financial 
year 2023 at this time.

Expected development of Group earnings

T U I   G R O U P
The translation of the income statements of foreign subsidiaries in our consolidated financial statements is 
based on average monthly exchange rates. TUI Group generates a considerable proportion of consolidated 
revenue and substantial earnings and cash flow contributions in non-euro currencies, in particular the pound 
sterling and US dollar. Taking account of the seasonality in tourism, the value of these currencies against the 
euro  in  the  course  of  the  year  therefore  exerts  a  major  impact  on  the  financial  indicators  displayed  in 
TUI AG’s consolidated financial statements. 

Our key financial performance indicators for our earnings position in financial year 2023 are revenue and 
underlying EBIT.

   Definition of underlying EBIT in Value-oriented Group management on page 30.

Key performance indicators used for regular value analysis are Return On Invested Capital (ROIC) and 
Economic Value Added. ROIC for a given segment is compared with the segment-specific cost of capital.

For financial year 2023, it is expected that travel restrictions will no longer have a material impact on TUI’s 
business and that TUI’s business will return to 2019 levels. However, in financial year 2023, fuel costs are 
expected to remain high as well as energy and food prices. The cost-saving initiatives already implemented, 
especially in Markets & Airlines and the segment TUI Musement, will have a positive effect.

In  the  planning  of  the  Hotels  &  Resorts  segment,  results  are  expected  to  improve  compared  to 2022,  in 
particular as travel restrictions are no longer expected. This is supported by TUI's ability to steer customer 
volumes to its own hotels via its direct distribution.

STATEMENTS AND NOTES

In the Cruises segment, Marella and TUI Cruises are expected to operate the full fleet in financial year 2023, 
with load factors approaching those of financial year 2019. However, cost base inflation will impact earnings 
in the 2023 financial year. 

N E T   C A P E X   A N D   I N V E S T M E N T S
For financial year 2023, we expect net capex and investments in a range of € 450 m to € 500 m.

The development of TUI Musement is, on the one hand, dependent on the development of customer numbers 
in the Markets & Airlines segment. On the other hand, TUI Musement will generate growth through the sale 
of tours, activities and tickets, which will be achieved by expanding own / direct sales via the internet and app.

In Markets & Airlines the cost-saving measures implemented are expected to cushion the impact of cost base 
inflation on earnings. It is expected that the disruptions to flight operations in the 2022 financial year will not 
recur in 2023, partly through the airports' own measures and partly because they are adjusting their capac-
ities to a higher load factor.

Below, we present TUI Group’s expected development in financial year 2023 based on the constant currency 
rates for financial year 2022. 

R E V E N U E
TUI Group revenue totalled € 16.5 bn in the year under review. For financial year 2023, we expect a further 
strong increase in TUI Group’s revenue year-on-year.

U N D E R LY I N G   E B I T
TUI Group's underlying EBIT in financial year 2022 amounted to € 408.7 m. For financial year 2023, we expect 
TUI Group’s underlying EBIT to improve significantly year-on-year.

A D J U S T M E N T S
For financial year 2023, we expect a net negative effect from adjustments in a range of € 60 m to € 80 m. 

   For details on objectives and strategies, see page 23 onwards; for details on risks, see Risk Report from page 34 onwards.

N E T   F I N A N C I A L   P O S I T I O N
For financial year 2023, we expect the Group’s net debt to be broadly stable. 

Sustainable development

C L I M AT E   P R O T E C T I O N   A N D   E M I S S I O N S 
We have identified specific carbon emissions (in g CO2 / rpk) from our aircraft fleet as the key non-financial 
performance indicator. For financial year 2023, we expect specific CO2 emissions to slightly fall in comparison 
with financial year 2022. 

Overall Executive Board assessment of TUI Group’s current situation and expected 
 development 

At the date of preparation of the Management Report (12 December 2022), the Executive Board assumes 
that booking behaviour in the 2023 financial year will largely correspond to the pre-pandemic level. The 
Executive Board assumes that travel behaviour will not be affected by further long-term closures and lock-
downs or by the impact of Russia's war of aggression on Ukraine. Nevertheless, the intensified general price 
increase of recent months could continue, in particular due to rising energy costs, and lead to a significant 
reduction in the private budget available for travel services, thus lowering purchasing power and resulting in 
declining customer demand. In addition, a permanent increase in fuel costs as well as services, especially 
those we purchase in US dollars, could lead to an increase in our input costs. In view of the disruptions in our 
flight operations in H2 2022, we have initiated measures to increase the resilience of our flight operations, 
for example by deploying more stand-by aircraft. In the medium term, we expect the situation at interna-
tional airports to ease.

R O I C   A N D   E C O N O M I C   V A L U E   A D D E D
Due to the expected improvement in our operating result, ROIC and Economic Value Added are also expected 
to improve significantly year-on-year, depending on how capital costs for TUI Group develop. 

For financial year 2023, we therefore expect TUI Group’s underlying EBIT to improve significantly year-on-
year on a constant currency basis. 

Expected development of financial position

Outlook for TUI AG

To  forecast  the  Group’s  financial  position  in  financial  year 2023,  we  have  defined  the  Group’s  net  capital 
expenditure and investments and its net financial position as key performance indicators. 

The future business performance of TUI AG is essentially subject to the same factors as those impacting 
TUI Group. Due to the business ties between TUI AG and its Group companies, the outlook, opportunities 
and risks presented for TUI Group are largely mirrored by expectations for TUI AG. The comments made for 
TUI Group therefore also apply to TUI AG.

5 4

C O R P O R AT E   S T R AT E G Y   O P P O R T U N I T I E S
Opportunities arise from accelerating the Group’s transformation into a digital platform business. We will 
expand  hotel-only  and  flight-only  products  and  broaden  our  dynamic  packaging  opportunities.  We  will 
prioritise the planned transformation of our digital platform in the TUI Musement segment. 

O P E R AT I O N A L   O P P O R T U N I T I E S 
We intend to operate as an asset-light organisation and see opportunities in the implementation of our asset- 
right strategy in our Hotels & Resorts and Cruises businesses. We are reviewing unprofitable activities and 
will divest them as appropriate.

CONTENTS

Opportunity Report

TUI Group’s opportunity management follows the Group strategy for Tourism as our core business. Respon-
sibility for systematically identifying and taking up opportunities rests with the operational management of 
the Hotels & Resorts, Cruises and TUI Musement segments as well as our source markets. Market scenarios 
and critical success factors for the individual sectors are analysed and assessed in the framework of the 
Group-wide planning and control process. The core task of the Group’s Executive Board is to secure profitable 
growth for TUI Group again by optimising the shareholding portfolio and developing the Group structure 
over the long term.

O P P O R T U N I T I E S   A N D   R I S K S   A R I S I N G   F R O M   M A C R O   T R E N D S
In particular, a faster decline in fuel costs as well as a lower general price increase would have a positive 
impact on the TUI Group and its segments.

Key exchange rates and commodity prices 

TUI Group companies operate on a worldwide scale. This presents financial risks for TUI Group arising from 
changes in exchange rates and commodity prices. The essential financial transaction risks from operations 
concern euros and US dollars. They mainly result from foreign exchange items in the individual Group com-
panies, for instance jet fuel and bunker oil or ship handling, or from sourcing transactions by hotels. The 
parity  of  sterling  against  the  euro  affects  the  translation  of  results  generated  in  the  UK  market  in  TUI’s 
consolidated financial statements. Following the UK’s exit from the European Union, the currency fluctua-
tions continued, impacting the translation of results from our UK business. Changes in commodity prices 
above all affect TUI Group when procuring fuels such as aircraft fuel and bunker oil. In Tourism, risks relating 
to changes in exchange rates and price risks from fuel sourcing are partly hedged by derivatives. 

Information on hedging strategies and risk management as well as financial transactions and the scope of 
such transactions at the balance sheet date is provided in the sections Financial position and Risk report in 
the Management Report and the section Financial instruments in the Notes to the consolidated financial 
statements.

   Financial position from page 71, Risk report from page 34 and Financial instruments in the Notes from page 224.

In calendar year 2022, the economy in the Eurozone initially continued to recover from the adverse economic 
effects of the COVID-19 pandemic as the driving forces resulting from the easing of the pandemic-related 
restrictions remained strong until the middle of the year. As a result, GDP initially continued to grow despite 
the distortions caused by the war in Ukraine. In the second half of the year, however, global economic activity 
showed a marked slowdown due to the sustained energy price shock and high inflation so that growth rates 
in most economies are projected to decline overall versus the prior year (IMF, World Economic Outlook, 
October 2022).

TUI Group is a global tourism provider. The development of the international tourism market has an impact 
on all business areas of the Group. 

The key indicators used to measure the size of the tourism sector include the number of international tourist 
arrivals. According to the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), the number of international 
tourist arrivals grew by an average of 5 % year-on-year from 2009 to 2019 (UNWTO, World Tourism Barometer, 
January 2020). This growth was driven by a number of factors: the relatively stable global economy, a 
growing middle class in the emerging economies, technological progress, low travel costs, and an easing of 
visa requirements. 

With the outbreak and the global spread of the  COVID-19 pandemic in the first quarter of calendar year 
2020, all activities in the sector came to a standstill. Versus the 2019 reference period, international tourist 
arrivals declined by 72.1 % in calendar year 2020 and by 69.6 % in calendar year 2021. 

The lifting of restrictions on travel and the progress delivered in COVID-19 vaccinations contributed to boost 
consumer confidence and gradually restore safe mobility in Europe and other parts of the world. From January 
to July 2022, international tourism rebounded with international tourist arrivals down 42.9 % globally versus 
the 2019 reference period. In Europe, this indicator was 25.6 % below 2019 levels (UNWTO, World Tourism 
Barometer, September 2022).

With the lifting of government restrictions, air traffic increased significantly during the period under review. 
Based on past experience of downturn, leisure air travel is expected to recover significantly ahead of busi-
ness travel (e. g. McKinsey, April 2021), and this has been evident in quarterly airline results communications 
over the past year. 

The European industry faced significant disruption in 2022, in particular due to shortage of staff in critical 
areas of operations (e. g. ground handling and airports). This was due to delayed ramping up of staff after 
COVID-19 ramping down and due to shortages in the labour market.

The European airline market is characterised by fierce competition and overcapacity, resulting in pressure on 
yields. Despite a number of insolvencies, the market has not seen a significant reduction in flight capacity. 
Instead, capacity has typically been absorbed by existing players.

T R A V E L   I N T E R M E D I A R Y   M A R K E T
A travel intermediary operates between a provider of tourism services, such as an airline or a hotel, and final 
customers, typically delivering distribution or related services. Their advantage compared with direct suppliers 
is generally related to their distribution and (in the case of tour operators) fulfilment capabilities. Travel 
intermediaries  include  tour  operators  and  online  travel  agencies  (OTAs),  whose  business  models  vary 
substantially.  Tour  operators  offer  their  customers  a  package  product  (comprising  e. g.  flight,  hotel  and 
transfers), usually through a combination of offline (i. e. travel agencies) and online channels. Booking pref-
erence has shifted to online over time, a trend which was further accelerated during the pandemic. In order 
to secure flight and hotel capacity in advance, a tour operator may enter into a wholesale contract with the 
supplier,  often  involving  some  form  of  commitment  to  a  certain  amount  of  capacity  at  a  specified  price. 
Where the tour operator commits to capacity, they take on the risk of filling it; in return, they can expect the 
supplier to offer them a favourable rate and the opportunity to secure accommodation on an exclusive basis, 
as well as the ability to yield the capacity. Alternatively, tour operators can dynamically access flight and 
hotel supply, either direct with the supplier, or via a bedbank, or via a global distribution system. This does 
not involve taking risk, and provides additional choice and flexibility for the customer (for example, relating 
to choice of departure airport, time of flights and duration of holiday). OTAs, by contrast, typically do not 
commit to taking capacity, nor are they involved in the fulfilment of the holiday. Their offering to suppliers is 
a digital distribution platform with broad customer reach, generally without any exclusivity of offer.

A I R L I N E   M A R K E T
The  airline  industry  was  hit  particularly  hard  by  the  COVID-19  crisis,  as  airlines  around  the  world  had  to 
ground their aircraft and cancel flights due to global travel bans. 

H O T E L   M A R K E T
The COVID-19 pandemic had significant impacts on the hotel sector as travel and hotel restrictions imposed 
by governments in many countries resulted in the temporary closing of hotels and a significant decline in the 
number of bed nights. The recovery of the hotel market was initiated with the resumption of domestic 
travel. Following the lifting of governmental restrictions, international travel contributed to an increase in 
bed nights. 

The hotel market comprises business and leisure hotels. Leisure hotels feature a number of characteristics 
distinguishing them from business hotels, including longer average lengths of stay and differences in loca-
tion, room features and service offerings. From a demand perspective, the leisure hotel market in Europe 
comprises  several  smaller  sub-markets  catering  to  customers’  individual  needs  and  preferences.  The 
sub-markets comprise premium, comfort and budget hotels as well as family / apartment hotels and club or 
resort hotels. Hotel companies may offer a variety of hotels for different market segments, often defined by 
price segment, star rating, exclusivity or available facilities.

In Europe, in particular, there are many small, often family-run hotels, which are less upscale and have fewer 
financial resources. Most family-owned hotels are not branded.

Given the large number of ownership and operating models for leisure hotels and the fragmented competitive 
landscape which, at least in Europe, is not dominated by large hotel chains, the competitive environment 
differs greatly between locations. Despite this strong fragmentation, a structural change can be observed in 
the European hotel industry, as in nearly all regions in the world. The share held by hotel chains is increasing, 
as well as the focus on direct distribution and customer loyalty.

C R U I S E   M A R K E T
From the end of July 2022, nearly the entire global ocean-going cruise fleet was back in operation after the 
pandemic-induced suspension of operation. Since the first cruise activities restarted from the end of July 
2020, with the strictest health protection measures in place, more than 5 million passengers took to the seas 
globally within that period. Sector forecasts regarding the pandemic impact and recovery project passenger 
volume to recover to the levels recorded in baseline year 2019 by the end of 2023 and recover in excess of 
12 % above 2019 levels by the end of 2026 (CLIA, State of the Cruise Industry 2022).

In  calendar  year 2021,  the  largest  source  markets  were  North  America,  Western  Europe,  Asia  and  South 
America. Based on passenger volume, the most popular destinations within that period were the Caribbean, 
Central and Western Mediterranean, Asia and China as well as Northern Europe (CLIA, Global Market 
Report 2021).

D E S T I N AT I O N   E X P E R I E N C E S   M A R K E T
The market for tours and activities is a rapidly growing tourism segment. The market is highly fragmented 
on the supplier side and is predominantly operated offline. However, due to growing consolidation and 
digitalisation, the market is undergoing change. 

Pre-COVID-19, the forecast market growth on a five-year outlook varied between 3 % and 7 % (Company 
estimate based on Phocuswright & Euromonitor), depending how the market was defined. 

Our brand

Our brand with the red ‘smile’ – the smiling logo formed by the three letters of our brand name TUI – stands 
for TUI’s ambition to provide a consistent customer experience, digital presence and competitive strength 
above and beyond the actual holiday experience. In recent years, to further leverage the appeal and strength 
of our core brand and tap the associated growth potential, we have created global branding and a consistent 
brand experience. 

TUI Group is an integrated tourism group operating on a global scale. TUI is one of the best-known travel 
brands in our core markets in Europe (TUI Consumer Survey 2022). Seeking to emerge stronger from the 
COVID-19 crisis, we launched a freshly designed marketing campaign at the beginning of the financial year in 
October 2021. Its goal is to underpin the existing brand essence with our values reliability, credibility and 
quality, while also strengthening the links between TUI’s brand identity and the leisure experience following 
the expansion of TUI Group’s portfolio over the past few years to include TUI Musement. Our new brand 
strategy ‘TUI creates the moments that make life richer’ will visualise our goal of offering our guests sustainable, 
personally significant holidays and experiences. This expansion of our brand core is designed to support our 
growth ambitions, not only to retain existing customer segments, but also to attract new ones. Market 
research  shows  that  the  campaigns  not  only  have  high  awareness  levels,  but  also  provide  above-average 
brand identification scores. TUI retains leadership positions in brand awareness whilst improving customer 
consideration amongst future segments.

Group Earnings

Comments on the consolidated income statement

In the course of financial year 2022, TUI’s tour operator, aviation, hotel and cruises businesses expanded 
following  the  lifting  of  global  travel  restrictions.  Following  the  successive  lifting  of  the  travel  restrictions, 
business was fully resumed in all segments. As of April 2022, the entire fleet of the Cruises Segment was in 
operation, and as of summer 2022, the Hotels & Resorts Segment was able to offer the entire product port-
folio. In the Cruises segment, the recovery in demand started later than in the other segments. The restart 
of business led to flight disruptions, particularly in the UK and the Netherlands, but also in other source 
markets, which impacted the Group’s result. The price increase in the course of the financial year, especially 
for fuel, and changes in exchange rates could not be fully offset by higher travel prices and additionally 
burdened  the  result  in  the  past  financial  year.  TUI  Group’s  underlying  EBIT  improved  significantly  by 
€ 2,484.2 m to € 408.7 m year-on-year, an improvement of € 2,474.4 m on a constant currency basis.

In financial year 2022, TUI Group’s revenue increased by 249.7 % to € 16.5 bn. On a constant currency basis, 
revenue  increased  by  247.4 %.  Customer  numbers  were  212.1 %  up  year-on-  year.  Revenue  is  presented 
alongside the cost of sales in the income statement, which increased by 162.2 % in the period under review.

G R O S S   P R O F I T / L O S S
The difference between revenue and the cost of sales increased as a result of the normalisation of the business 
by € 2,155.5 m year-on-year to a gross profit of € 931.7 m.

A D M I N I S T R AT I V E   E X P E N S E S
Administrative expenses decreased by € 94.3 m year-on-year to € 746.3 m (previous year € 840.5 m).

O T H E R   I N C O M E   A N D   O T H E R   E X P E N S E S
In financial year 2022, other income mainly resulted from the sale of Nordotel S. A. in October 2022 and from 
subsequent income from the sale of Riu Hotels S. A. in financial year 2021. In the previous year, this mainly 
included the profit from the sale of our 49 per cent share in the Riu Hotels S. A. joint venture (real estate 
portfolio) to a Riu Group company.

Other expenses resulted in particular from the losses from the sale of aircraft assets. In the previous year, 
other expenses also included losses from the sale of aircraft assets and expenses incurred in connection 
with the disposal of TUI Group companies.

F I N A N C I A L   R E S U LT
The financial result in the 2022 financial year amounted to € – 473.7 m after € – 436.8 m in the previous year. 
The increase in financial income mainly resulted from higher interest income of € 26.3 m, up 107.1 % (previous 
year € 12.7 m). The increase in financial expenses resulted from 6.6 % higher interest expenses of € 492.1 m 
(previous year € 461.7 m), in particular due to lease liabilities and defined benefit pension plans as well as the 
unwinding of discount on provisions. Expenses from exchange rate changes in lease liabilities in accordance 
with IFRS 16 increased as well. 

S H A R E   O F   R E S U LT   O F   J O I N T   V E N T U R E S   A N D   A S S O C I AT E S
The share of result from joint ventures and associates of € 100.7 m comprises the proportionate net profit 
for the year of these companies. The increase by € 333.5 m was driven by the normalization of the business 
following the containment of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

E A R N I N G S   B E F O R E   I N C O M E   TA X E S
In the period under review, earnings before income taxes totalled € – 145.9 m. The loss therefore declined 
significantly by € 2,315.8 m year-on-year.

G R O U P   L O S S
The Group loss for financial year 2022 declined year-on-year by € 2,268.3 m to € – 212.6 m.

S H A R E   I N   G R O U P   L O S S   AT T R I B U TA B L E   T O   T U I   A G   S H A R E H O L D E R S
The share in Group loss attributable to TUI AG shareholders amounted to € – 277.3 m in financial year 2022 
(previous year € – 2,467.2 m). 

N O N - C O N T R O L L I N G   I N T E R E S T S
In the completed financial year, non-controlling interests in the Group result totalled € 64.6 m. They mainly 
related to RIUSA II Group.

E A R N I N G S   P E R   S H A R E
The interest in the Group result attributable to TUI AG shareholders resulted in basic earnings per share of 
€ – 0.17 (previous year € – 2.58) in financial year 2022. The underlying average number of shares results from 
the number of shares at the beginning of the financial year and the prorated effect of the capital increases 
implemented in financial year 2022.

The Group’s main financial KPI is underlying EBIT. We define the EBIT in underlying EBIT as earnings before 
interest, income taxes and income and expenses for the measurement of the Group’s interest hedges. EBIT 
by definition includes goodwill impairments.

EBIT

€ million

Underlying  EBIT is adjusted by income and expense items impacting or distorting the assessment of the 
operating profitability of the segments and the Group due to their level and frequency. These items include 
gains on disposal from investments, major gains and losses from the sale of assets and major restructuring 
and integration expenses. In addition, adjustments are carried for all effects from purchase price allocations, 
ancillary acquisition costs and conditional purchase price payments. Adjustments made in the reconciliation 
to underlying EBIT include goodwill impairments.

•  Our Hotels & Resorts segment made an underlying EBIT of € 480.6 m, a € 633.3 m improvement on the 
prior year (previous year € – 152.7 m loss) and above pre-pandemic levels. The segment has seen a strong 
operational recovery in particular in the second half of the financial year on easing of COVID-19 restrictions.
•  Our multi-destination portfolio of hotels enabled us to reopen as soon as destination specific travel restric-
tions were progressively lifted around the world, whilst our high level of direct distribution allowed us to 
optimise customer volumes into our own assets, as well as flexing our distribution to third party channels.
•  As at 30 September 2022, 344 hotels were in operation (97 % of 353 Group hotels) increasing from the 
331 hotels at previous year end (previous year 92 % of 359 Group hotels), reflecting the more normalised 
post-pandemic  travel  environment  across  both  markets  and  destinations  and  allowing  us  to  offer  our 
guests our entire portfolio in the Summer. Important destinations in Summer 2022 were Spain, Greece, 
and Turkey with strong demand also for our year-round destinations such as the Canaries and the Caribbean. 
•  Capacity increased by 39.5 % year-on-year reflecting the drivers above. The average occupancy rate (based 
on open hotels) was 76 % (previous year 53 %). Average rate per bed increased by 10.7 % to € 77 (previous 
year € 70) and thus above pre-pandemic levels. 

•  Riu occupancy increased by 27 % pts to 82 % versus prior year (previous year 55 %) and average rate 
improved 16.8 % to € 69 (previous year € 59), with the Group delivering a strong operational performance 
in their core Caribbean and Spanish markets. 

•  Robinson occupancy increased 8 % pts to 66 % versus prior year (previous year 58 %) with average rate in 

line with prior year at € 103.

•  Blue Diamond occupancy increased by 28 % pts to 79 % versus prior year (previous year 51 %) and average 
rates were 32.3 % higher including foreign exchange effects to € 137 (previous year € 104), supported by 
stronger demand to our Dominican Republic and Mexican properties. 

•  Our Other hotel brands benefitted from a stronger performance across our Turkish and Spanish hotels as 

destinations reopened and demand returned following the pandemic.

•  Marella Cruises, our UK cruise brand, was also only able to offer a reduced Winter programme with all four 
ships sailing again as from Q3 2022. The average daily rate was £164, up 32.1 % on prior year (previous 
year £ 124). Occupancy was 70 %, up 31 % pts versus prior year (previous year 39 %), with operations in

•  TUI Musement, our tours and activity business, made an underlying EBIT of € 23.2 m, a € 128.5 m im-
provement on prior year (previous year € – 105.3 m loss), in line with the recovery to a more normalised 
pre-pandemic environment across our global destinations. The increase reflects the advantage of our 
integrated model and growth of third-party sales through the TUI Musement platform. 

•  With the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions, TUI Musement benefited from increased guest transfers due to 
the higher number of tour operator guests. In addition, 7.0 m experiences, activities and tickets were sold 
in the year, up 5.5 m against the previous year of 1.5 m, highlighting the significant expansion of our 
business in this segment to date.

•  Our growth opportunities will be driven by the expansion of our TUI Musement segment, which will benefit 
from both our integration as well as growth through third party sales, accelerated digitalisation and execution 
of our Global Realignment Programme. The combination of these drivers will enable us to emerge stronger, 
leaner, more digitalised and more agile, and ready to exploit growth opportunities.

•  The Cruises segment returned to full operation at the beginning of April 2022, following the COVID-19 
restrictions during the Winter months, with a total fleet of 16 ships across our three brands. Mein Schiff 
and Hapag-Lloyd Cruises, our two cruise brands in Germany which make up our joint venture TUI Cruises, 
offered itineraries in the Mediterranean, Northern Europe and around the world. Marella, with its fleet of 
four ships, operated itineraries across the Mediterranean. 

•  The  segment  continued  to  recover  throughout  the  financial  year  as  COVID-19  restrictions  were  lifted. 
Cruises reported a full year underlying EBIT of € 0.8 m (previous year € – 277.5 m loss) which incorporated 
a profitable second half of the financial year for the first time since the pandemic began. Occupancy rates 
were up against last year and ranged between 58 % and 70 % across our Cruises brands (previous year 
between 39 % and 45 %), with rates back to 2019 levels, reflecting the more normalised trading environment. 
•  Mein Schiff average daily rate of € 178 rose by 34.8 % versus prior year (previous year € 132). Occupancy 
rate was 69 %, 28 %pts higher versus prior year (previous year 41 %) reflecting the recovery of demand 
with a short-term booking trend very evident. The brand was able to operate its full fleet of seven ships 
from April 2022 following the lifting of the COVID-19 restrictions.

•  Hapag-Lloyd Cruises, our luxury and expeditions brand, average daily rate of € 653 increased 27.0 % versus 
prior  year  (previous  year  € 514).  Occupancy  of 58 %  rose  by 13 %  pts  versus  prior  year  (previous  year 
45 %) reflecting the same factors as Mein Schiff. Following a reduced Winter season itinerary due to the 
COVID-19-restrictions the full fleet of five ships were in operation from March.

•  Our Markets & Airlines business made an underlying EBIT loss of € – 45.3 m, a € 1,425.6 m improvement on 
prior year (previous year € – 1,470.9 m loss), reflecting the more normalised pre-pandemic travel environ-
ment, but also emphasizing the clear pent-up demand for holiday travel. Short-term bookings represented 
a large share of overall bookings. The result includes the impact of operational flight disruption encountered 
during  the  Summer  season  2022  and  savings  delivered  through  our  Global  Realignment  Programme 
across all markets. 

•  A total of 16,730 k customers departed for their holidays during the period under review, up 212.1 % year-
on-year (previous year 5,361 k) reflecting the easing of COVID-19 restriction by governments in our key 
source markets especially during the second half of the year. 

•  As  COVID-19  restrictions  were  lifted  the  segment  experienced  significant  operational  flight  disruption 
most notably in the UK. The combination of unparalleled industry ramp-up after the COVID-19 pandemic 
compounded by a tight labour market, has seen the aviation industry confronted with significant opera-
tional issues and disruptions, resulting in the increase of delayed departures and flight cancellations. This 
has been mainly caused by third party suppliers and airports due to a shortage in ground handling and 
airports security staff, reliability issues with lease-in partners and supplier maintenance delays. As a 
result, incremental disruption costs totalled € 133 m in the financial year, primarily due to significantly 
increased FDC (flight disruption cost for delays > 3 hours) events in the UK, and costs introduced relating 
to  mitigations.  In  response,  we  have  swiftly  introduced  several  mitigations  to  improve  resilience  and 
customer experience, including the doubling of our standby aircraft, active management of third parties 
and increased TUI staff at key customer touch points. Flight disruptions were at elevated levels during the 
Summer season but continued to normalise as the financial year came to a close. We remain committed 
to operate our programme with as minimum impact to customers as possible. Even at the height of the 
disruptions in May and June, TUI Airline carried 4.8 m passengers (outbound and return sector) with 96 % 
of customers arriving without any major impact (<3 hours delay from arrival), despite operational issues 
at airports.

•  Northern  Region  reported  a  significantly  reduced  underlying  EBIT  loss  of  € – 101.6 m  (previous  year 
€ – 965.8 m loss) driven by the ability to operate a more normalised programme. The result was impacted 
by operational disruptions encountered at airports throughout the summer season. The resilience meas-
ures introduced as a consequence, included in particular the cancellation of flying from Manchester during 
June to help protect the programme and reduce the impact on our customers. 

•  Customer  volume  increased  significantly  by  683.5 %  to  6,475 k  versus  prior  year  (previous  year  826 k) 
supported by the easing of COVID-19 restrictions, with demand recovering in particular in the UK to near 
pre-pandemic  levels.  Online  distribution  for  the  Region  continued  to  be  strong  at  71 %,  down  3 %pts 
against previous year of 74 %, but up 4 %pts versus pre-pandemic levels (FY 2019 67 %), with direct 
distribution at 94 % in line with previous year and pre-pandemic levels.

•  Our Global Realignment Programme delivered additional savings, mainly through cost efficiencies across 

the business including the reduction of our distribution cost base and airline rightsizing.

•  Central Region underlying EBIT profit of € 87.8 m, is an improvement of € 416.4 m versus prior year (previous 
year € – 328.6 m loss) reflecting the more open travel environment permitted by the EU, enabled many of 
our customers from Germany in particular, to resume their international holidays this summer. Results 
were supported by the benefit of a ~€ 50 m state compensation for loss of business in the course of the 
pandemic, in addition to savings delivered by our Global Realignment Programme. The Central Region was 
also impacted by operational flight disruption but to a significantly lower extent than in the UK market.
•  Customer volume increased by 119.7 % to 5,873 k versus prior year (previous year 2,673 k) in line with the 
easing of travel restrictions due to COVID-19. Online distribution for Central Region reached 30 %, down 
4 %pts against prior year of 34 % but up 8 %pts versus pre-pandemic levels (FY 2019 22 %). Direct 
distribution was down 4 %pts to 57 % against previous year whereby the comparison is limited by lower 
volumes and longer retail shop closures due to the COVID-19 restrictions. Against pre-pandemic levels of 
50 % direct distribution was up 7 %pts.

•  Western Region underlying  EBIT loss of € – 31.5 m, was an improvement of € 145.0 m versus prior year 
(previous year € – 176.6 m loss). Results were supported by a more normalised pre-pandemic travel envi-
ronment in all businesses with the Netherlands benefiting from higher volumes and operations in France 
supported by restructuring. Results were however impacted by the costs for flight delays and cancellations 
due to operational disruptions in particular at Schipol Airport. 

•  Customer volume increased by 135.5 % to 4,383 k year-on-year (previous year 1,861 k) reflecting the 
reduction of COVID-19 related travel restrictions which enabled many of our customers from Belgium and 
the Netherlands in particular, to resume their international holidays this summer. Online distribution for 
the region stood at 60 %, down 3 %pts (previous year 63 %), but up 3 %pts versus pre-pandemic levels 
(FY 2019: 57 %). Direct distribution of 80 % was slightly down on previous year whereby the comparison 
is  limited  by  lower  volumes  and  longer  retail  shop  closures  due  to  the  COVID-19  restrictions.  Against 
pre-pandemic levels direct distribution was up 5 %pts (FY 2019 75 %).

The Group’s balance sheet total increased by 7.8 % year-on-year to € 15.3 bn.

Vertical structural indicators

G O O D W I L L
Goodwill broadly remained at previous year’s level of € 2,970.6 m. 

   For details, please refer to the section Goodwill in the Notes from page 190.

Non-current financial assets accounted for 74.4 % of total assets, compared with 79.3 % in the previous year. 
The capitalisation ratio (ratio of fixed assets to total assets) decreased from 72.8 % to 69.7 %.

Current assets accounted for 25.6 % of total assets, compared with 20.7 % in the previous year. The Group’s 
cash and cash equivalents increased by € 153.1 m to € 1,736.9 m. They thus accounted for 11.4 % of total 
assets, as against 11.2 % in the previous year.

P R O P E R T Y,   P L A N T   A N D   E Q U I P M E N T
Property, plant and equipment totalled € 3,400.9 m at the balance sheet date, up by € 241.6 m year-on-year. 
Major additions to property, plant and equipment related to acquisitions in the Hotels & Resorts segment 
and the purchase of new aircraft. The majority of the disposals related to the disposal of advance payments 
for the delivery of aircraft. In addition, tests of the carrying amounts led to impairments primarily on hotels 
including real estate.

Horizontal structural indicators 

At the balance sheet date, the ratio of equity to non-current assets has been 5.7 %. Due to the suspension 
of our business operations driven by COVID-19 and the resulting losses, Group equity was negative in the 
prior year. The ratio of equity plus non-current financial liabilities to fixed assets was 22.3 %, compared with 
25.4 % in the previous year.

Financial Position of the Group

Principles and goals of financial management

P R I N C I P L E S
TUI Group’s financial management is centrally operated by TUI AG, which acts as the Group’s internal bank. 
Financial management covers all Group companies in which TUI AG directly or indirectly holds an interest of 
more than 50 %. It is based on policies covering all cash flow-oriented aspects of the Group’s business activ-
ities. In implementing a cross-border organisation approach, TUI AG has outsourced some of its treasury 
activities to First Choice Holidays Finance Ltd, a British Group company. However, the treasury activities are 
carried out on a coordinated and centralised basis. 

G O A L S
TUI’s  financial  management  goals  include  ensuring  sufficient  liquidity  for  TUI  AG  and  its  subsidiaries  and 
limiting financial risks from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, commodity prices and interest rates as 
well as default risks associated with treasury activities.

L I Q U I D I T Y   S A F E G U A R D S 
The Group’s liquidity safeguards consist of two components:

•  In the course of the annual Group planning process, TUI Group draws up a multi-annual financial budget, 
from which long-term financing and refinancing requirements are derived. This information and financial 
market  observation  to  identify  refinancing  opportunities  create  a  basis  for  decision-making,  enabling 
appropriate financing instruments for long-term corporate funding to be adopted at an early stage.

•  TUI uses syndicated credit facilities and bilateral bank lines as well as its liquid funds to secure sufficient 
short-term cash reserves. Through intra-Group cash pooling, excess cash of individual Group companies 
is used to finance the cash requirements of other Group companies. A weekly rolling liquidity planning 
system is the basis for arrangements with banks. 

L I M I T I N G   F I N A N C I A L   R I S K S
The Group companies operate on a worldwide scale. TUI Group is therefore exposed to financial risks from 
changes in exchange rates, commodity prices and interest rates.

The key operating financial transaction risks relate to the euro, US dollar, pound sterling and Swedish krona 
and to changing fuel prices. They mainly result from cost items in foreign currencies held by individual Group 
companies, e. g. hotel procurement, aircraft fuel and bunker oil invoices or ship handling costs.

STATEMENTS AND NOTES

The Group has entered into derivative hedges in various foreign currencies in order to limit its exposure to 
risks from changes in exchange rates. Changes in commodity prices affect TUI Group, in particular, in procuring 
fuels such as aircraft fuel and bunker oil. Some of these price risks related to fuel procurement are hedged 
by derivative instruments. Where price increases can be passed on to customers due to contractual agree-
ments, this is also reflected in our hedging behaviour.

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, currency and fuel hedging activities were heavily restricted. With 
the market environment returning to normal and the Group’s business volume rising substantially, hedging 
restrictions in many areas have largely been eased, although some restrictions remain, particularly in relation 
to fuel hedging. Hedging cover is taken out ahead of the markets’ customer booking profiles, where hedging 
lines allow. This provides a degree of certainty over input costs when planning pricing and capacity.

In order to control risks related to changes in interest rates arising on funding in international money and 
capital markets and investments of liquid funds, derivative interest hedges are used on a case-by-case basis 
as part of the Group’s interest management system.

In order to limit default risks from settlement payments for derivatives as well as money market investments 
with banks, TUI AG and First Choice Holidays Finance Ltd. have defined credit rating criteria for the selection 
of their counterparties. Trading and transaction limits are allocated to these counterparties on the basis of 
the credit ratings issued by the major rating agencies. The credit ratings and the corresponding limits are 
regularly reviewed. In the event of changes in the fair value of derivatives or rating changes, new business 
with these counterparties may temporarily be suspended until the limits can be applied appropriately again.

The use of derivative hedges is based on underlying transactions; the derivatives are not used for speculation 
purposes.

More detailed information on hedging strategies and risk management as well as financial transactions and 
the scope of such transactions at the balance sheet date is provided in the Risk Report and the section 
Financial instruments in the Notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Overall, non-current capital decreased by 10.7 % to € 6,512.8 m. It accounted for 42.7 % (previous year 51.5 %) 
of the balance sheet total.

The equity ratio was 4.2 % (previous year – 3.0 %). Equity and non-current financial liabilities accounted for 
15.6 % (previous year 18.5 %) of the balance sheet total.

Subscribed capital was initially increased by € 523,520,778.00 in October 2021 in the framework of a fully 
subscribed capital increase with subscription rights by issuing 523,520,778 new no-par value shares against 
cash contribution. At a subscription price of € 2.15 per share, the gross proceeds totalled around € 1.1 bn. In 
May 2022, subscribed capital was increased by a further € 162,291,441.00 in the framework of another cash 
capital  increase  excluding  shareholders’  subscription  rights.  By  way  of  an  accelerated  bookbuilding, 
162,291,441 new shares were sold to institutional investors. At an issue price of € 2.62 per share, gross pro-
ceeds totalled around € 425 m. At the end of the financial year under review, subscribed capital therefore 
consisted of 1,785,205,853 shares with a proportionate share in the capital stock of € 1.00 per no-par value 
share. Revenue reserves rose by € 0.1 bn to € – 8.4 bn in the completed financial year. Non-controlling interests 
accounted for € 787.3 m of equity.

S I L E N T   E S F   PA R T I C I PAT I O N S 
In financial year 2021, TUI obtained two silent participations from the ESF. Both participations are carried in 
equity in accordance with IAS 32. Silent Participation I of € 420.0 m was fully paid. It can be converted into 
shares in TUI AG at any time in full or in part at a conversion price of € 1.00 per share, as long as the ESF does 
not obtain a participation in TUI of more than 25 % plus one share by converting the Silent Participation.

In June 2022, TUI AG carried out a capital increase and fully repaid Silent Participation II at € 671.0 m.

date, they accounted for a total of € 1,897.4 m, down by € 340.8 m year-on-year.

In  April  2021,  TUI  AG  issued  senior  unsecured  convertible  bonds  maturing  in  2028  with  a  total  nominal 
amount of € 400.0 m. In July 2021, the convertible bond was upsized through a further issue with a nominal 
amount of € 189.6 m at a price of 104.75 %. The convertible bonds totalling € 589.6 m constitute a single 
series. In October 2021, the conversion price was reduced to € 4.5827 per share in the wake of the capital 
increase with subscription rights.

On 1 October 2020, an unlisted bond with warrants totalling € 150.0 m was issued to the Economic Stabili-
sation Fund (ESF). The bond has a term of six years and carries an interest coupon of 9.5 % p. a. The attached 
warrants have a term of ten years and authorise the holders to subscribe to around 58.7 m shares in TUI AG 
at an initial price of € 2.56 per share. Due to the capital reduction in January 2021, the subscription price for 
the same number of shares was reduced to € 1.00 per share. 

Our non-current financial liabilities declined by € 1,304.7 m to € 1,731.4 m versus 30 September 2021. The 
decrease was primarily attributable to a reduction in liabilities to banks of € 1,262.4 m and the contractually 
agreed early repurchase of 913 partial option bonds on 1 April 2022.

For more detailed information, please refer to the Notes to the consolidated financial statements.

In April 2022, TUI AG effected an early redemption of bonds with a nominal value of € 91.3 m so that the 
residual nominal amount totals € 58.7 m.

In April and May 2022, TUI AG’s syndicated credit facilities were reduced by around € 920 m from an original 
amount of around € 4.8 bn on the basis of a contractual agreement and due to proceeds from refinancing 
and  divestment  transactions.  First,  the  reduced  credit  line  of  € 170 m  from  KfW  and  a  private  banking 
consortium, which had originally amounted to € 200 m, was repaid in full. Moreover, around € 750 m of the 
undrawn KfW tranche of € 2.85 bn was cancelled, reducing this amount to € 2.1 bn. In addition, for regulatory 
reasons due to Brexit, the credit line of a British bank forming part of the syndicated credit facility (around 
€ 80 m cash and € 25.0 m guarantee line) could not be extended beyond July 2022. 

At the end of the financial year under review, the syndicated credit facility therefore totalled around € 3.7 bn, 
including a KfW cash tranche of around € 2.1 bn and a bank guarantee line of € 190.0 m.

The interest rate for cash drawdowns is variable and depends on the short-term interest rate level (EURIBOR 
or SONIA) and TUI’s credit rating plus a margin.

At the balance sheet date, cash drawdowns from the syndicated credit facility amounted to € 562.0 m.

Liabilities to banks largely relate to the drawdowns from TUI AG’s syndicated credit facilities and TUI AG’s 
Schuldschein worth € 425.0 m.

Lease liabilities essentially relate to aircraft funding and hotel leases. For more detailed information, in 
particular on the remaining terms, please refer to the section Financial and lease liabilities in the Notes to 
the consolidated financial statements. 

  See section Financial and lease liabilities, page 217.

The combined figure for other liabilities mainly includes trade payables and customer deposits. At € 7,453.4 m, 
it was € 1,718.3 m up year-on-year.

TUI AG’s syndicated credit facility of around € 3.7 bn includes a tranche of € 190.0 m for bank guarantees. At 
the balance sheet date, cash drawdowns from this credit facility amounted to around € 562.0 m. In addition, 
an amount of € 143.8 m was drawn from this credit facility through the use of bank guarantees.

In October 2021, TUI AG concluded a multi-year guarantee facility of € 152.0 m with a bank in order to meet 
a regulatory obligation. At the balance sheet date, this guarantee facility was fully used. In October 2022, this 
guarantee facility was replaced by a new guarantee line of € 345.6 m. The issued guarantee was replaced by 
a new guarantee of € 268.8 m.

In addition, TUI AG concluded further bilateral guarantee facilities with banks with a total volume of € 19.1 m 
for the provision of bank guarantees in the framework of ordinary business activities. Some of the guarantees 
have a term of several years. The guarantees granted give rise to a commission in the form of a fixed per-
centage of the maxi-mum guaranteed amount. At the balance sheet date, an amount of € 8.1 m from these 
facilities had been used.

Obligations from financing agreements

TUI  AG’s  Schuldschein  worth  € 425.0 m  issued  in 2018,  the  bond  with  warrants  worth  € 58.7 m  issued  in 
October 2020, the convertible bond worth € 589.6 m issued in 2021 and the credit and guarantee facilities 
for TUI AG contain a number of obligations.

Under its syndicated credit facility worth € 3.7 bn, TUI AG has a duty to comply with certain financial cove-
nants (as defined in the contract). These require (a) compliance with an EBITDAR-to-net interest expense 
ratio measuring TUI Group’s relative charge from the interest result and its lease and rental expenses; and 
(b) compliance with a net debt-to-EBITDA ratio, calculating TUI Group’s relative charge from financial liabilities. 
The EBITDAR-to-net interest expense ratio must have a coverage multiple of at least 1.5; net debt must not 
exceed 3.0 times EBITDA. The financial covenants are determined every six months, but the banks initially 
agreed to a waiver for this financial covenant obligation up until and including 31 March 2022, and then set 
higher ratio limits for testing during the period up until and including 31 March 2023. In addition, TUI’s scope 
for pledging or selling assets, acquiring other companies or shareholdings, or effecting mergers has been 
restricted.

TUI AG’s Schuldschein worth € 425.0 m, the bond with warrants worth € 58.7 m, the convertible bond worth 
€ 589.6 m and the credit and guarantee facilities for TUI AG also contain additional clauses typical of financing 
instruments of this type. Non-compliance with these obligations awards the lenders the right to call in the 
facilities or terminate the financing schemes for immediate repayment.

In  the  wake  of  the  COVID-19  pandemic,  both  Standard  &  Poor’s  and  Moody’s  successively  lowered  TUI’s 
rating to CCC+ and Caa1, respectively, in 2020.

Due to a significant improvement in the business environment and the stronger balance sheet structure, 
both rating agencies upgraded their ratings to “B– (stable outlook)” (Standard & Poor’s) and “B3 (stable 
outlook)” (Moody’s) in October 2021.

Standard & Poor’s also upgraded the rating for amounts totalling around € 1.5 bn granted by private banks 
within TUI AG’s syndicated credit facility from CCC+ to B- in October 2021.

Financial stability targets 

Liquidity analysis 

TUI considers a constant credit rating to be a prerequisite for the future development of the business. In 
response to the structural improvements resulting from the merger between  TUI  AG and  TUI Travel, the 
operating  performance  observed  over  the  past  few  years,  and  the  strengthening  of  the  business  model 
despite a challenging environment, both Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s upgraded their ratings for TUI to 
the BB or Ba ranges. In particular due to effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, these ratings were then lowered 
to CCC+ and Caa1, respectively, in 2020. In the completed financial year, both rating agencies upgraded TUI’s 
rating to the B range again. This is essential, in our view, not only to secure favourable financing terms, but 
also  to  retain  access  to  the  debt  capital  markets  even  in  difficult  macroeconomic  situations.  We  aim  to 
achieve a further improvement in our current ratings (B– and B3, respectively). As an indicator of financial 
stability, we have defined a leverage ratio along the following basic lines:

Leverage ratio = (gross financial liabilities + lease liabilities + net obligations from defined-benefit pension 
plans) / reported EBITDA. This basic definition is subject to specific amendments in order to reflect current 
circumstances. Due to the lower gross financial liabilities and the return to positive EBITDA, the leverage 
ratio improved to a value of 4.7x in the 2022 financial year. We are aiming for a leverage ratio of below 3.0x 
again as a medium-term target.

At the balance sheet date, TUI AG, the parent company of TUI Group, held cash and cash equivalents worth 
€ 473.0 m. 

R E S T R I C T I O N S   O N   T H E   T R A N S F E R   O F   L I Q U I D   F U N D S
At  the  balance  sheet  date,  there  were  restrictions  worth  around  € 0.5 bn  (previous  year  € 0.5 bn)  on  the 
transfer of liquid funds within the Group that might significantly impact the Group’s liquidity, such as restrictions 
on capital movements and restrictions due to credit agreements concluded.

Change of control

Interest and financing environment

Cash flow statement

€ million

In the period under review, short-term interest rates remained at a low level compared with historical rates. 
In some currency areas, the interest rate initially remained negative but rose again in the low positive range 
in all key currencies from mid-2022 onwards. Due to high inflation, interest rates are expected to continue 
rising in the next few months. The interest rise cycle is currently expected to culminate in the medium single- 
digit percentage range. Corresponding impacts were recorded on yields from money market investments but 
also on reference interest rates for floating-rate debt.

In the financial year under review, quoted credit margins (based on CDS levels) for corporates on sub-investment 
grades rose to a level well above the long-standing average. Credit margins for TUI AG were elevated in H1 2022 
and climbed appreciably thereafter. Due to the difficult market environment in 2022, refinancing was not 
possible at acceptable terms and conditions.

The cash flow statement shows the flow of cash and cash equivalents on the basis of a separate presentation 
of cash inflows and outflows from operating, investing and financing activities. The effects of changes in the 
group of consolidated companies and of foreign currency translation are eliminated. In the previous year, the 
cash flow statement included the disposal group Nordotel S. A.

In the period under review, cash and cash equivalents increased by € 150.8 m to € 1,736.9 m.

*  Including gross capex of € 68.2 m for financial year 2022 (previous year € 28.9 m) for the aircraft leasing companies which – unlike 

 income statement items – are allocated to Markets & Airlines as a whole, but not to the individual segments Northern Region, Central 
Region and Western Region.

In the financial year under review, TUI Group’s gross capex totalled € 486.0 m. The increase of 70.6 % reflects 
the expansion of our business activities as the pandemic subsided.

The year-on-year increase was mainly attributable to higher investments in aviation, increased investments 
in hotels as well as time in dock at Marella Cruises. Net capital expenditure and investments of € 315.9 m rose 
by € 1,015.0 m year-on-year in the period under review. Divestments related in particular to the sale of 
the stake in Nordotel S. A., fully consolidated in the Hotels & Resorts segment, to Grupotel S. A., a joint 

 
 
 
venture of TUI Group. They also comprised a subsequent reduction in the selling price for the divestment of 
Riu Hotels S. A. In the prior year, divestments had included the sale of our 49 % stake in the Riu Hotels S. A. 
joint venture to a Riu Group company, the sale-and-leaseback of aircraft and a part of the total proceeds 
from the divestment of Hapag-Lloyd Kreuzfahrten to our joint venture TUI Cruises.

Net debt

The net debt as of 30 September 2022 declined by € 1,518.0 m year-on-year to € 3,436.2 m.

About this non-financial declaration of TUI Group

For TUI Group, sustainability covering all three areas of economic, environmental and social sustainability 
is a fundamental management principle and a cornerstone of our strategy for continually enhancing the 
value of our company. We firmly believe that sustainable development is critical to long-term economic 
success. Together with our many partners around the world, we are actively committed to promoting 
sustainable development in the tourism industry.

In  the  following  section,  in  line  with  CSR  reporting  legislation,  we  report  on  sustainability  issues  that 
promote a better understanding of our business operations, context and future development. TUI AG 
publishes a non-financial TUI Group declaration. It combines aspects and reporting on the following key 
issues: environmental matters, employee matters, social matters, respecting human rights and information 
on  anti-corruption  and  anti-bribery  integration  &  compliance.  In  compliance  with  section  315b,  para-
graph 1, sentence 3 of the German Commercial Code (HGB) we also refer, in a number of respects, to 
non-financial disclosures found in other parts of the Group Management Report.

Our materiality assessment generated insights into the risks and opportunities relating to sustainability. 
We  describe  our  risk  management  system  and  principal  risks  associated  with  our  business  activities, 
business relations and services in our Risk Report from page 34 onwards, where the principal risks relating 
to sustainability are listed and explained.

A P P L I E D   S TA N D A R D S   A N D   S U S TA I N A B I L I T Y   I N D I C E S
Our reporting covers the United Nations Global Compact principles, which TUI signed up to in 2014, as a 
framework. Furthermore, we reviewed our sustainability activities against the United Nations Sustainable 
Development Goals (SDGs). 

TUI AG is represented on the sustainability index FTSE4Good. In 2022, TUI participated in the CDP Climate

STATEMENTS AND NOTES

For TUI Group, sustainability covering all three areas of economic, environmental and social sustainability is 
a fundamental management principle and a cornerstone of our strategy for continually enhancing the value 
of our company. We firmly believe that sustainable development is critical to long-term economic success. 
Together with our many partners around the world, we are actively committed to promoting sustainable 
development in the tourism industry.

   Disclosures on the TUI Group’s business model 

 TUI Group is a global integrated tourism group. TUI Group’s business model is outlined in detailed on pages 23 ff. and 27 ff. in 

accordance with section 315c paragraph 1 in conjunction with section 289c, paragraph 1 HGB.

TUI Group has a governance structure in place that ensures that sustainability issues, along with risks and 
opportunities resulting from climate change, are assessed and actioned at all levels. The Executive Board 
manages  TUI’s  business  strategically,  it  sets  the  Group’s  strategic  direction  and  long-term  objectives  for 
sustainable  development  and  signed  off  the  Group’s  Sustainability  Agenda.  The  Sustainability  Business 
Council, which will convene from financial year 2023 onwards, will drive the integration of sustainability into 
all business processes and decisions.

A team of experienced sustainability professionals are working in close collaboration with senior manage-
ment to ensure that TUI’s business and sustainability focus areas are well aligned. The Group Sustainability 
Director heads up the Group Sustainability team, and reports to the Chief Sustainability Officer (CSO) who 
sits on the Group Executive Committee.

The role of our sustainability team is to drive implementation of the Sustainability Agenda across TUI Group 
and  along  its  supply  chain.  The  Group  Executive  Committee  is  regularly  updated  on  our  performance  in 
delivering the Sustainability Agenda and tackling other key sustainability issues. Regular meetings are also 
held with the Risk Oversight Committee (ROC) to review sustainability risks.

TUI Sustainability Agenda

Over  the  past  two  years,  TUI  Group’s  international  sustainability  team  has  focussed  on  developing  TUI’s 
Sustainability Agenda. New priorities and strategic directions for TUI’s future sustainability activities were 
drawn up in consultation with internal and external stakeholders, taking account of current challenges, global 
scenarios and mechanisms such as the EU Green Deal. Thanks to direct exchange with our stakeholders and 
sector industry, we were able to gather expectations and challenges related to sustainability issues, which

have been reflected into our sustainability activities. The Supervisory Board, Executive Board, Group Executive 
Board and employee representatives were regularly involved in the process of developing the agenda in the 
form of individual and group presentations. We also discussed specific topics with organisations and inter-
ested stakeholders. We will continue to encourage this two-way dialog to ensure we maintain our focus on 
the most important and relevant topics at hand.

Our Sustainability Agenda builds on tourism as a force for good. Together with our partners we strive to 
continue to positively contribute to local communities, reduce our environmental footprint and create more 
sustainable holiday choices. 

O U R   M I S S I O N
“We are mindful of the importance of travel and tourism for many countries in the world and for the people 
living there. We partner with these countries and other stakeholders to actively shape a more sustainable 
future for tourism”.

TUI’s Sustainability Agenda is the next chapter in  TUI’s sustainability journey in the right direction. Our 
ambition is to continue to lead the industry and actively shape a more sustainable future for tourism in all 
three dimensions of sustainability – social, environmental and economic. We will use our scale and influence 
for the sustainable transformation of the tourism industry.

Empower to drive 
development

We will ensure that local 
people and communities 
benefit from tourism and 
the local supply chain.

We will empower a 
generation of change-
makers by helping them 
acquire the new skills and 
knowledge they need  
to transform the tourism 
industry.

Reduce our  
footprint 

Accelerate the  
transformation 

Building 
blocks 

We will achieve net-zero 
emissions across our 
operations and supply 
chain by 2050 at the latest. 

To protect our planet, we 
will change the way we use 
natural resources and 
become a circular business.

Together with our partners 
we will co-create the  
next generation sustainable 
business model for the 
tourism industry. 

We will enable our 
customers to make 
sustainable holiday choices 
in every stage of the 
customer journey. 

Our Agenda consists of three building blocks to drive the sustainable business transformation, to empower 
‘People’ to drive development, reduce TUI’s environmental footprint on the ‘Planet’ and partner with others 
to ‘Progress’ the transformation of our industry. Our three P’s of People, Planet and Progress are supported 
by 15 focus areas with key goals, objectives and initiatives. The Agenda is our roadmap to address the key 
industry and global challenges we will face in the coming decades, such as climate change. Please see the 
table for more details on these three building blocks.

latest, setting near-term science-based emission reduction targets, becoming a circular business, enabling 
20 million customers a year to make sustainable holiday choices by 2030 and co-creating the sustainable 
destination of the future.

The Sustainability Agenda supports and takes action to contribute to the achievement of the United Nations 
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) – 17 global goals to fight inequality, end poverty and respect our 
planet by 2030. These goals provide a useful framework with which to view the material impact of our 
business operations and a benchmark to assess the relevance of our initiatives. The tourism value chain is 
closely linked to many different sectors. This enables us to influence progress on many SDGs, with a special 
focus on 13 of them.

People – Empower to drive development

Tourism is the main force for development and prosperity in many parts of the world. It creates employment, 
provides education and drives up social and environmental standards. We will ensure that local people and 
communities benefit from tourism and the local supply chain. We will empower a generation of changemakers 
by helping them acquire the new skills and knowledge they need to transform the tourism industry.

We want to give our colleagues the knowledge and skills to become sustainability changemakers. One way 
we are doing this is through the digital ‘TUI Sustainability Academy’ learning platform. The first phase was 
developed  in  financial  year 2022,  which  offers  knowledge  into  a  wide  range  of  sustainability  topics,  from 
energy and fuels to social impacts and the circular economy. In the future the platform will also be made avail-
able to our partners so that we can support upskilling to drive the sustainable transformation of the industry. 
Through the TUI Sustainability Academy and other tools, we aim to deliver to colleagues 25 k training hours 
on sustainability annually by 2025. 

S U S TA I N A B I L I T Y   H A C K AT H O N
Our first Sustainability Hackathon took place in March 2022, twelve teams of colleagues from across the 
Group worked together to solve a common challenge: How can we change our products to reduce waste and 
emissions, to help TUI move towards a circular business model? Over two days, several hundred ideas came 
together – both in the virtual hacking teams and from colleagues who posted their ideas on a collaboration 
platform. A panel of judges evaluated the ideas presented by the twelve teams and selected the winners. The 
winning ideas are now being worked on for further development and implementation.

Protecting  human  rights  and  environmental  standards  across  supply  chains  is  the  premise  of  the  new 
German Supply Chain Act (GSCA) coming into force on the 1 January 2023. For TUI, it applies to our own 
business, TUI suppliers and the wider supply chain, both in Germany as well as across the globe. An internal 
GSCA Steering Group has been established to prepare the business to comply with the law. The focus is on 
the development and implementation of risk analysis, training, preventative and corrective measures and 
policies. This builds on the work TUI already does to protect human rights and the environment and helps 
prepare for the upcoming EU Due Diligence Directive.

One of the ways we make a positive difference in destinations is through our corporate foundation, the TUI 
Care Foundation, which uses the positive power of tourism to improve the lives of young people, care for the 
natural world and help local communities thrive. Founded in 2016 as an independent foundation, the TUI 
Care Foundation builds projects like education and training that use tourism as a force for good and open 
up new perspectives in particular for young people in the holiday destinations. 

We are working to reduce the environmental footprint of holidays and drive-up environmental standards in 
our industry. We will achieve net-zero emissions across our operations and supply chain by 2050 at the latest 
and significantly reduce our environmental footprint in the areas of water, energy and waste. To protect our 
planet, we will change the way we use natural resources and become a circular business. 

C L I M AT E   C O M M I T M E N T S
Climate change is a pressing global challenge. There is an urgency to act and for everyone to play a role in 
the transition to a low carbon economy. We have been working for 30 years to reduce our environmental 
impacts. In this next phase of our sustainability journey, we wanted to be led by science. 

With over 30 projects in 25 countries, the TUI Care Foundation focuses on the unique needs of a destination. 
Examples of projects include marine conservation in Bali and Mallorca, vocational training for disadvantaged 
young people at the TUI Academies in the Dominican Republic and Sri Lanka, and tackling plastic waste in 
Cyprus and Zanzibar.

In 2022, TUI joined the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), committing to implement emission reductions 
in line with the latest climate science. Emissions from TUI’s airline, cruises and hotel segments represent 
99 % of the Group’s own emissions. Detailed emission reduction roadmaps have been developed for each of 
these three segments to realise significant reductions in emissions. 

During 2022, the TUI Care Foundation won six global awards for its work around the world:

Our 2030 emission reduction targets for airlines, cruises and hotels are with SBTi for final approval. 

•  The TUI Care Foundation’s COVID-19 Relief Initiatives were awarded: 

•  Gold Award by WTM Africa, in the category ‘Destinations Building Back Better Post-COVID’
•  Gold Award by WTM Latin America in the category ‘Increased local economic benefit’
•  Silver by WTM Africa, in the category ‘Virtual Volunteering’

SBTi is a global body enabling businesses to set ambitious emissions reductions targets in line with the 
Paris Agreement goals in order to limit the worst effects of climate change. The initiative is a collaboration 
between  the  Carbon  Disclosure  Project  (CDP),  the  United  Nations  Global  Compact,  World  Resources 
Institute (WRI) and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF).

•  Global Responsible Tourism Silver Award by WTM London in the category of ‘Sustaining Employees and 

Communities through the Pandemic’ 

•  The TUI Junior Academy in Curaçao was awarded a National Energy Globe Award for sustainable teaching 

practices

•  A Barcelona Sustainable Tourism Award was presented by the consortium Turisme de Barcelona recog-

nising the TUI Care Foundation’s best sustainability practices

In financial year 2022, TUI Group’s total emissions increased by 168.6 % year-on-year in absolute terms as a 
result of the recovery of the business from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, in particular the increase 
from aviation operations.

After the end of the reporting period a new aviation investment was announced in October 2022, with the 
Embraer E195-E2, the quietest and most efficient aircraft under 150 seats, to join the TUI fly Belgium fleet. 
The aircraft will operate on short and medium haul routes and is 50 % quieter and emits up to a third less 
carbon dioxide. 

Environmental management systems and operational measures are key to implementing sustainability and 
further enhancing carbon efficiency. All TUI airlines held the internationally recognised ISO 14001:2015 
standard in financial year 2022. Here are some examples of operational measures we implement to improve 
efficiency: 

•  Flight operations, e. g. single-engine taxing in and out, wind uplinks and optimised climb speeds and profiles
•  Weight reduction, e. g. carbon brakes and Fly Away Kit (spare parts and kit)
•  Flight planning optimisation, e. g. alternate distance and minimum fuel programme
•  Fuel management system to improve fuel analysis, identify further opportunities and track savings

Sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) play a crucial role in reducing emissions in aviation. SAF is a key part of our 
2030 emissions reduction roadmap to further improve airline carbon efficiency.  TUI is involved with a 
number of partners to secure the supply of SAF. At the beginning of current financial year in October 2022, 
a Memorandum of Understanding was signed with Spanish energy company CEPSA and more will follow. The 
CEPSA partnership will focus on SAF fuels made from materials such as used cooking oils, non-food animal 
waste or biodegradable waste from various industries, and will make it possible to reduce aircraft emissions 
by up to 80 % compared to conventional kerosene. 

In 2022, relative carbon emissions across our airlines decreased by 18.5 %. This improvement was largely a 
result  of  significantly  improved  load  factors  compared  to 2021,  as  well  as  TUI’s  on-going  re-fleeting  with 
older aircraft being replaced by new, more carbon-efficient aircraft.

We already operate one of Europe’s most carbon-efficient airlines and we aim to continuously improve our 
environmental performance. Our 2030 airline emission reduction targets have been submitted to SBTi for 
validation. Within our emission reduction roadmap for aviation, the following levers are key; continued invest-
ment in modern carbon-efficient aircraft, efficiency through operational measures as well as investment in 
sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). 

TUI Group has invested in cutting edge aviation technology to reduce emissions, such as the Boeing 787 and 
Boeing 737 Max aircraft. On average the planes are 20 % and 16 % more fuel-efficient (787 and 737 Max) 
than the aircraft they replace in the  TUI Airline fleet. The Boeing 737 Max also has a 40 % smaller noise 
footprint than previous generation aircraft. In 2022, we operated with 19 Boeing 787 aircraft and the Boeing 
737 Max fleet grew from 25 to 35 aircraft during the financial year.

equipped with a shore power connection that enables the vessels to use green onshore power where available 
for a nearly emission-free port stay. The whole fleet will be shore power ready within the next few years. 

On  the  newbuild  Mein  Schiff  vessels,  sulphur  emissions  and  nitrogen  emissions  are  reduced  significantly 
thanks to comprehensive exhaust gas treatment systems installed on all new ships. These advanced emission 
purification systems are operated beyond regulatory requirements – for example not only in the designated 
special emission control areas of the North and Baltic Seas, the English Channel and North America but also 
in  the  other  areas  that  Mein  Schiff  travels  to,  such  as  the  Mediterranean,  Orient,  Caribbean  and  Central 
America.

The emissions in the following table are also shown in the form of CO2 equivalents (CO2e). Apart from carbon 
dioxide (COS2), they include the other five greenhouse gases impacting the climate as listed in the Kyoto 
Protocol:  methane  (CH4),  nitrous  oxide  (N2O),  hydro-fluorocarbons  (HFCs),  perfluorocarbons  (PFCs)  and 
Sulphur hexafluoride (SF6).

The Mein Schiff fleet is also setting another milestone for sustainable growth. The production of Mein Schiff 7 
is underway in the Meyer Turku shipyard in Finland. The focus is on setting high environmental standards by 
optimising the design regarding energy efficiency and technologies to improve sustainability. The ship will be 
built so it is prepared to be fuelled with green methanol in the future. It will enter service in 2024. This is an 
important milestone in TUI Cruises efforts to provide the first climate-neutral cruise by 2030.

We continue to focus on lowering emissions across our cruise operations, making progress through investing 
in the latest technology to reduce air emissions, as well as operational efficiencies. Comprehensive emission 
reduction  roadmaps  have  been  developed  along  with  our  2030  targets  submitted  to  SBTi  for  validation, 
covering TUI Cruises, Hapag-Lloyd Cruises and Marella Cruises. Key levers include continued investment 
in fleet modernisation and efficiency measures, with a focus on shore power, route optimisation, energy 
efficiency boost and propulsion / alternative fuel switch. 

TUI Cruises with its brands Mein Schiff and Hapag-Lloyd Cruises continues to operate a modern and tech-
nologically advanced fleet. The newbuild ships in the fleet include the latest technologies to minimise fuel 
consumption. A smart energy management system, efficient air conditioning, innovative lighting controls and 
the use of exhaust heat from the engines all contribute to a significantly reduced carbon footprint compared to 
other vessels not equipped with these technologies. Furthermore, six of twelve TUI Cruises ships are already 

Hapag-Lloyd Cruises ships exclusively use 0.1 % low-sulphur marine gas oil. This reduces the sulphur emissions 
of Hapag-Lloyd Cruises’ fleet by up to 80 % and reduces particulates by up to 30 %. All Hapag-Lloyd Cruises 
ships have the TBT-free underwater coatings, seawater desalination systems for freshwater production as 
well as a biological sewage treatment system for wastewater. Waste is separated on board in an environmental 
manner prior to disposal on land by specialised companies in accordance with international regulations 
(MARPOL).

Hapag-Lloyd Cruises’ Hanseatic Nature, Hanseatic Inspiration and Hanseatic Spirit are also equipped with 
modern environmental technologies. The optimisation of the hull and the use of a rudder with special 
propeller contribute to a reduction in fuel consumption. 

TUI Marella continues to focus on sustainability and several measures have been taken to improve efficiency. 
For  example,  refurbishing  the  main  dining  rooms  to  remove  halogen  lights  and  replace  them  with  LED 
fixtures, upgrading to more modern and efficient galley equipment and air conditioning systems, and applying 
the latest generation hull coatings to Marella Discovery and Marella Explorer to decrease drag in the water 
resulting in reduced fuel consumption. 

In financial year 2022, relative carbon emissions in Cruises decreased by 44.9 % due to significantly higher 
occupancy levels following the impact of the pandemic in 2021. Per cruise passenger night 10.6 litres of waste 
were measured – a 55.3 % decrease – and 37 litres of fresh water consumed, a decrease of 58.7 % due to 
both the improved occupancy and less bunkering of fresh water.

Our hotels and hotel partners continue to focus on and drive the sustainability transformation across their 
operations. Each hotel plays a key role in managing impacts on the local community, economy and the environ-
ment. In support of our priority to reduce emissions, we have developed comprehensive emission reduction 
roadmaps and 2030 targets for the hotel segment of our business. These targets are science-based and 
currently with SBTi for validation. 

Our hotel portfolio continues to grow and many of our hotels are using the latest green technology to improve 
their sustainability performance. The production of renewable energy from solar and wind is a key lever in our 
emission reduction roadmaps for hotels, as is efficiency measures achieved through hotel refurbishments 
and newbuild standards.

STATEMENTS AND NOTES

Sustainability is embedded in contract clauses with our accommodation suppliers outlining minimum expec-
tations and the requirement to work towards credible sustainability certification recognised by the Global 
Sustainable Tourism Council. TUI supports its hotel partners by providing guidance and tips on preparing for 
certification. A community platform has also been set up to inform and share about relevant sustainability 
topics and developments. See the Progress section for more information on both of these initiatives. 

To celebrate innovative sustainability practices, our TUI Global Hotel Awards includes a sustainability category. 
The 2022 winners were Hotel Riu Festival and Hotel Riu San Francisco in Majorca for their role in supporting 
a pioneering sustainable food and recycling project. The hotels are part of an alliance of hotels in Majorca 
working with the municipal waste company and a local producer. Sensors are installed at the hotels to monitor 
organic waste, which is then converted into valuable compost. The local producer then uses the compost for 
growing fruit and vegetables, which are then sold to the hotels and enjoyed by their guests. 

Our hotels have seen significant improvements in performance regarding emissions, water consumption and 
waste production. This is a result of continued efforts to improve environmental performance, along with 
higher customer numbers and occupancy levels returning since the pandemic.

One of our core ‘Planet’ goals is to work towards a circular business model. The Circular Economy is a way 
to think about how we reduce, reuse, recycle and redesign products and services. The aim is to keep resources 
and materials in the life cycle for as long as possible and stop waste from being produced in the first place. 

TUI has a set of Circular Economy Commitments focussed on changing the way we operate and use resources. 
This will involve all areas of our business model, but we are initially focussing on food waste, plastic waste 
and our procurement processes.  TUI will work with suppliers to have all relevant information about their 
sustainability performance so we can track and measure progress. To support our circular business work, we 
are members of the Sustainable Transformation Group on Circular Economy, coordinated by the Antwerp 
Management School and part of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation community. 

At TUI we have been working hard for many years to reduce plastic use across the business and find alter-
natives. TUI Group is part of the Global Tourism Plastic Initiative and signed up to its commitments. UNWTO 
and UNEP are leading the implementation of the initiative in cooperation with the Ellen MacArthur Founda-
tion and with the support of an advisory group, of which TUI Group is a member. As part of this initiative, we 
commit to eliminating problematic and unnecessary plastic packaging and items where possible by 2025. 

P R O T E C T I O N   O F   B I O D I V E R S I T Y
We  support  the  WTTC’s  ‘Nature  positive  vision  for  travel  and  tourism’  and  we  will  take  a  nature  positive 
approach to halt and reverse biodiversity loss by 2030. We will invest in the protection and restoration of 
nature in destinations. In addition to our existing focus on animal welfare in our supply chain, we also want 
to place further emphasis on biodiversity in the future.

STATEMENTS AND NOTES

We have improved, updated and resumed TUI’s animal welfare audit process, having adapted them to the 
latest version of the ABTA guidelines (Global Animal Welfare Guidance for Animals in Tourism) and to the 
digital transformation of the company. Since 2016 more than 237 independent audits of animal attractions 
featured by TUI were conducted, as well as 140 online self-assessments. Wherever possible we prefer to 
work with suppliers to deliver improvement plans, however a number of venues were taken out of the 
programme for not meeting the required standards.

TUI has partnered with SPANA, a leading global charity in animal welfare for working animals and community 
development. The charity improves the welfare of working animals in three ways: free veterinary treatment, 
education and training, and emergency and outreach projects. The focus of the partnership is working animals 
(horses, camels, donkeys) in Morocco.

We aim to use our scale to increase the positive social and environmental impact of every holiday experience 
we offer. We strive to become sustainability leaders in all that we do. Together with our partners we will 
co-create the next generation sustainable business model for the tourism industry. We will enable our 
customers to make sustainable holiday choices in every stage of the customer journey. By 2030 we will 
significantly increase more sustainable holiday choices through “Green & Fair” products and services with 
the aim of havingto have 20 million customers per year choosing a “Green & Fair” hotel or excursion, which 
meet the strict criteria of the Global Sustainable Tourism Council. 

D E S T I N AT I O N   C O - L A B
In early 2022, TUI Group, TUI Care Foundation and the government of the Region of the Southern Aegean 
launched a five-year project called ‘Destination Co-Lab Rhodes’. Together with our partners we aim to 
co-create the next generation sustainable business model for the tourism industry on Rhodes.

The three strategic pillars are ‘Regenerate the natural environment’, ‘Strengthen social development and 
cultural heritage’, and ‘Foster inclusive economic development in the tourism business model’. As part of the 
Co-Lab, the local tourism industry and international partners want to work together to find and develop 
concrete solutions and implement them on Rhodes. 

D R I V I N G   C E R T I F I C AT I O N
TUI is driving up social and environmental standards through certification. Our hotels and hotel partners are 
expected to achieve a sustainability certification from an independent organisation. This process involves a 
third-party  assessment  to  certify  that  the  hotel  complies  with  the  Global  Sustainable  Tourism  Council 
(GSTC) Criteria, demonstrating social and environmental good practice. The GSTC Criteria is the established 
global standard for sustainable tourism and is organised around four main themes: effective sustainability 
planning, maximising social and economic benefits for the local community, enhancing cultural heritage, and 
reducing negative impacts to the environment.

In financial year 2022 we had 7.9 m customers staying in a hotel 1 certified to a GSTC-recognised labelstand-
ard, compared to 2.8 m in 2021. The number of contracted certified hotels 2 has increased year-on-year by 
78.7 % to 1,126 hotels. This increase was due to many of our key hotel partners finally being able to act on 
their longstanding commitment to sustainability certification. Many certifications lapsed during the previous 
financial year due to the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. This was either due to hotels being 
closed, the operational pressures of reopening, or auditors being unable to visit destinations due to travel 
restrictions. The impact of this disruption has significantly reduced this year, meaning our hotel partners 
were able to renew their certification and we are able to report a growth in numbers.

Sustainability has also been embedded into our experiences portfolio. In financial year 2022 we applied the 
GSTC Criteria of the Global Sustainable Tourism Council to individual tours and activities in order to assess 
their sustainability performance, the first tourism company in the world to do so. 180 TUI Collection experi-
ences have gone through this comprehensive process to meet global sustainability standards in destinations 
such as mainland Spain, Mallorca, the Canaries, Turkey and the Dominican Republic. By 2023, TUI aims for 
all  TUI Collection experiences to meet global sustainability standards.  TUI Collection is our own-branded 
portfolio of experiences available in over 100 destinations.

(accommodation, tours, activities and transport providers) to find the latest news, information and guidance 
on sustainability, health & safety, security and more. We use the Sustainability section as a platform for

We want to enable consumers to make more sustainable holiday choices. As well as embedding sustainability 
into our brand and creating a sustainability marketing toolkit for our businesses, we have developed a label 
to make it easier for customers to find and book more sustainable products and services. The ‘Green & Fair’ 
label has been launched in financial year 2022 on our experiences selling website, to help consumers identify 
those tours and activities that meet the GSTC Criteria. In financial year 2023 this label will be rolled out to 
hotels. 

P E O P L E   S T R AT E G Y
With their competence and commitment, our employees made a key contribution to TUI’s successful restart. 
The  challenging  interplay  between  our  transformation  to  a  digital  platform  company,  the  impact  of  the 
COVID-19 pandemic and a volatile labour market have substantially altered expectations about the way we 
work and how we interact with present and future employees. The world of work is undergoing structural 
change and is characterised by digitalisation and an ever-faster pace. The introduction of new models of 
work are facilitating hybrid work in regards to working place and time with the help of digital solutions and 
policies. This changes the way we work together and leads to new requirements in the communication 
between managers and their teams. In the wake of our transformation the required skill-set and know-how 
of our employees is shifted towards the digital field. At the same time, the expectations of our employees 
and future talents are continually changing. People expect greater flexibility and additional benefits from 
their employers. Simultaneously, diversity, the experience of belonging and the increased wellbeing become 
ever-more relevant factors for our employees. TUI has to respond to these expectations in order to secure 
talent acquisition in a challenging environment, especially in the IT sector. Against the backdrop of this over-
all framework, we have developed a new People Strategy with Sybille Reiss, Chief People Officer and Labour 
Director. The strategy adopts a holistic approach aimed at both our people function, which includes our 
HR teams, as well as our employees. It puts people first. 

The goal of our People Strategy is reflected in our vision to be Digital, Engaging and Inclusive.

•  Digital: We use digital tools in order to enable our people to work smarter, unlock innovation and drive 
efficiency. Access to data helps our People Teams to better understand our customers – our employees – 
and to enable productive changes.

•  Engaging: We invest in developing teams and confident leaders. By empowering performance, we enrich 
the lives of our team and succeed as a business. We recognise achievements and encourage continuous 
learning, allowing people to shine, individually and together. We are proud to be TUI.

•  Inclusive: Every voice matters at TUI. That is why we aim to break down barriers, listen to each individual, 
and care for their wellbeing. This means we personalise our approach to be all-inclusive, embracing diversity 
and bringing global and local teams together.

Our People Strategy focuses on strengthening our business and the experience of existing and future 
employees. In order to implement our strategy, we have adopted a mission defining our relevant areas of 
action. With this approach we want to create a framework to empower our employees to deliver their best 
performance and be successful as one team.

A crucial factor in implementing our global People Strategy is that it centres on our core topics and processes. 
All the activities we deliver must be aligned to the principles of simplification, harmonisation and focus. 
Processes are being harmonised and standardised globally to create synergies and avoid duplication. Local 
adjustments are only effected if and as required or where this creates additional value. Examples effective 
from financial year 2022 include the far-reaching harmonisation of our recruitment processes across markets 
and platforms, reducing them to two master processes. These were ultimately be transferred to our HR 
system, enabling us to enhance our recruitment efficiency. 

We have also realigned our HR structure to match that principle. An organisation with Group-related and 
local Centres of Expertise (CoE) is being transformed into a global CoE structure with local representatives. 
In addition to the existing global HR Business Partner and HR Services structures, global CoEs are now being 
established in the fields of Reward, HR Systems & People Analytics, Talent Acquisition and Talent Manage-
ment & Development. Implementation was launched in financial year 2022 and the project is scheduled for 
completion in the first half of financial year 2023. 

Progressive simplification, harmonisation and focus are supported by the ongoing development of our HR 
systems landscape in the wake of our digital transformation.

D I G I TA L   T R A N S F O R M AT I O N
Our goal is to increase the efficiency of our work and to promote the acceptance of digital systems. The 
priorities here are a data-centric alignment and the incorporation of high-quality data into our decision-making 
processes.

A key project was the further implementation of our single HR Core System in TUI People. The functions of 
the system include HR master data administration and the mapping of HR processes. Following the COVID-19 
pandemic, the roll-out of the system continued in the TUI Musement segment in financial year 2022. Germany 
saw the launch in financial year 2022. 

Another key area was the use of existing and the introduction of new functions in our HR IT platform TUI 
People. This is demonstrated, inter alia, by the launch of the processes for TUI WORKWIDE and the contin-
ued roll-out of a compensation module within our HR IT platform in the UK, the Nordics, Belgium and the 
Netherlands. 

Within TUI People, our desktop assistant offers our employees real-time step-by-step instructions for handling 
system functions. This helps to speed up the implementation of new processes, as our employees can set 
them up directly with the support of the assistant. The application also provides 1st level support in the 
event of any questions. The desktop assistant was further expanded in financial year 2022 and supports a 
large number of digital processes. The expansion included content in the fields of recruiting, learning as well 
as our HR Core System.

Developments in financial year 2022 also featured the launch of TUI eSafe in several companies in Germany. 
This is an electronic safe for employees to which we digitally send documents such as their payroll slip. The 
eSafe will be a sustainable, time-saving application offering employees safe and permanent access to their 
documents. In future, employees will receive all documents in their TUI eSafe, where legally permitted. Roll-out 
of the application will continue in Germany next year. It will subsequently be rolled out on a global level.

Our priorities for the new financial year are the continued implementation of our single HR Core System and 
the expansion of our reporting, analytics and dashboard functionalities, based on the introduction of a central 
HR Business Warehouse. The project was designed in financial year 2022 and its implementation has now 
been initiated. 

E N A B L E   G R O W T H
In order to retain our employees and recruit new people in a challenging labour market, we are pursuing a 
multi-layered  recruitment  approach  including  internal  training  programmes  as  well  as  external  recruiting. 
Talent acquisition is implemented by a global team positioning TUI as an employer of choice in the relevant 
markets and among key target groups. Our career sites achieved almost 1.5 million visits in the period under 
review, and we received more than 295,000 applications.

In financial year 2023, we will roll out a new employer branding strategy for TUI. In the period under review 
the foundation was created with the identification of TUI’s core strengths and USPs as an employer thanks 
to in-house and external surveys as well as labour market analyses. The new employer branding strategy is 
designed to have a positive impact on perceptions of TUI in the labour market, on the experiences of our 
talents in the application process and on employee satisfaction. The core of the strategy is our Employer 
Value  Proposition.  It  describes  the  unique  benefits  of  TUI  as  an  employer.  The  communication  campaign 
launched in support of the strategy aims to generate positive general interest in working at TUI. In addition, 
it targets specific groups relevant to the success of our company in order to recruit and retain them. The 
campaign, scheduled to be rolled out from January 2023, is founded on authentic insights into working at 
TUI from our employees’ perspective. 

A new platform has been incorporated into our career website in order to enhance job applicants’ perception 
of the company. It creates touchpoints between external talents and TUI employees. It offers applicants the 
opportunity to address questions directly to selected employees so as to liaise with the company. In a pilot 
project  launched  in  March 2022  in  IT  and  parts  of  TUI  Musement, 97 %  of  the  talents  assessed  the  new 
platform as useful. It is scheduled for further roll-out from November 2022.

Moreover, a special pre-boarding platform was developed and made available from the end of financial year 
2022 as part of TUI People. It enables new employees to obtain insights into TUI and its ways of working 
before they officially start their job. The platform offers a welter of useful information about working at TUI 
and also serves as a central touchpoint for new employees. It helps helps us to create an open, welcoming 
culture and a sense of belonging to TUI right from the start.

P O S I T I V E   E M P L O Y E E   E X P E R I E N C E 
We want to create an environment in which people like to work. With the launch of the TUI Way of Working 
in the prior financial year, we created the key conditions to achieve that goal. The TUI Way of Working is our 
joint vision for the future of work at TUI and how to organise it globally and adjust it to local needs. We are 
seeking to create a culture of trust that inspires a sense of belonging in employees regardless of where they 
work, offering flexibility and promoting efficient work. The core statement of that vision is: work is what we 
do, not where we go.

TUI WORKWIDE was created in that spirit in August 2021. It is an innovative programme enabling people to 
work from virtually anywhere in the world for up to 30 days per year. Flexibility in terms of place and time is 
important  for  TUI  as  we  firmly  believe  it  promotes  productivity  and  innovation.  Since  the  launch  of  TUI 
WORKWIDE, our employees have applied for more than 10,000 days working from a different country. Of this 
total, almost 9,000 days had been taken up by the end of the financial year. In total, 847 employees had 
requested an average of 8.5 days within the framework of TUI WORKWIDE by the end of financial year 2022. 

In order to further identify and understand the needs of our employees, we carried out the TUIgether 
light survey in summer 2022 after the survey had been suspended for three years. The goal of the survey 
was to capture sentiment across the entire organisation. It achieved a return rate of 48 % (15,820 out of 
32,720 potential respondents). The result reports were prepared at the level of businesses and functions. 
The statement “I would recommend TUI as a great place to work” received a positive rating from 54 % of 
participants and will be a key element in the future measurement of people’s engagement. The other 
questions related to Strategy & Vision, Personal Development and TUI as an Employer. Unlike in past 
surveys, a first step was taken towards measuring diversity, equity and inclusion. The statement “I feel 
comfortable being myself at work” had one of the most positive scores in all TUI Group businesses, with a 
total of 76 % agreement from participants. The follow-up process, once the survey has been implemented 
and the results evaluated, has added two new actions since 2019. Firstly, a new level of transparency was 
achieved by publishing multiple survey result reports from different levels of the business on the Smile 
intranet. Secondly, a hackathon on “TUI as a great place to work – Improving the Employee Experience” was 
planned for the end of October 2022. Voluntary participants from the entire group were invited to register for 
the two-day virtual event and work together in small groups to develop ideas for improvements based on the 
results of the survey and their employee experience.

In parallel, we continued updating the new Employee Listening strategy in financial year 2022. Our goal is to 
listen to our employees more regularly, measuring their engagement and growing it in a sustained manner. 
The new TUIgether+ survey approach launched in cooperation with a new service provider will facilitate a 
holistic  approach  to  measuring  and  enhancing  the  employee  experience.  We  will  focus  on  three  different 
survey types, each tailored to the specific needs of different groups of participants. Apart from global surveys 
relating to engagement and other strategic topics, we will also measure key moments in each employee’s life 
cycle and use business insight surveys to obtain their feedback on certain topics such as transformation. 
Executives receive feedback on a regular basis to help them plan measures at all levels. Real-time surveys 
and more regular feedback will enable us to respond swiftly to emerging trends. In the next few years, the 
new survey landscape will be developed and defined further, resulting in a structured routine with regular 
findings.

Our goal is to be “all-inclusive” in terms of our employees and our culture at work. We aim to support and 
promote the wellbeing and resilience of our employees. We want them to feel accepted and appreciated to be 
healthy and motivated in delivering their best performance. This includes accepting and leveraging diversity.

A number of measures were carried out again in the period under review. We implemented several training 
programmes on “Unconscious bias” and other diversity-related topics. Diversity-related content was shared 
on the intranet, in the TUI Learning Lounge and in the leadership programmes. TUI took part in in-house and 
external events on diversity, e. g. as a sponsor at the Maspalomas Pride event in Gran Canaria. We once again 
organised Wellbeing Days, where our employees were able to obtain a range of information on the theme 
with, for example, talks on healthy eating and tips for working from home. Throughout the year, we also took 
part in various key events and special dates, e. g. International Women’s Day and Pride Month. 

We have also entered into external partnerships, e. g. with Women in Data (WID), in order to increase the 
attractiveness  of  Data  Science  for  women  and  diverse  professionals.  TUI  is  also  part  of  the  Black  Rep-
resentation in Marketing (BRiM) initiative with several other companies. In addition, we support the diversity 
of internal employee networks with different interests, e. g. LGBTQI+, Religion or Diversity, Equity & Inclusion. 
Our internal and external partnerships help us set the right priorities in this area.

With TUI’s Global Employment Statement and as a signatory to the UN Global Compact, we have made a 
clear commitment: We do not accept any discrimination based on nationality or ethnicity, sex, gender identity, 
sexual orientation, marital status, religion, world view, disability, age or social origin. Decisions about hiring, 
salary, benefits, training opportunities, work assignments, advancement, discipline and termination must be 
based solely on objective grounds.

In financial year 2022, various diversity-related indicators were monitored. The proportion of women in the 
overall headcount rose year-on-year to 55.7 %. The share of women in leadership positions was increased 
compared  to  prior  years.  Especially  the  female  proportion  in  senior  leadership  teams  was  raised  by  two 
percentage points.

In future, the focus of our activities in Diversity, Equity & Inclusion will be on the development of a holistic, 
global strategy covering all dimensions of diversity. It will comprise, for example, the publication of a binding 
global Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) Statement, the establishment of a global DEI Committee and the 
launch of further global DEI activities aimed at supporting our employees’ wellbeing. We are planning to 
introduce a diversity index to measure diversity. 

E N A B L E   B E S T   P E R F O R M A N C E 
In order to be successful together at TUI, we are seeking to empower our employees to deliver their top 
performance. We are supporting our executives and promoting dialogue between managers and employees.

As in previous years, we continued the feedback and target agreement process Great Place to Grow in the 
period under review. It offers our executives a clear framework for supporting the development of our 
employees and providing them with feedback through dialogue. We are also aiming to ensure that our 
employees have clear goals and know their contribution to the growth of our Company.

We  are  supporting  our  employees  in  preparing  for  tomorrow’s  challenges  with  new  learning  content.  We 
foster our talents in various areas including digitalisation in order to take TUI a step further as a digital 
platform company. Depending on their  growth and career targets, our employees have a broad range of 
development formats available to choose from. Overall, the active users of our HR IT platform TUI People 
completed an average of more than two hours of training per month in financial year 2022. We also offered 
a wide range of programmes such as the TUI Learning Lounge and the Sustainability Academy and continued 
the Language Mentoring project.

In IT, the for:ward programme was successfully continued in financial year 2022. It focuses in particular on 
changing  IT  roles  and  the  skills  required.  for:ward  offers  our  employees  two  options:  As  part  of  the  first 
option, participants can undergo a role transition with the support of an external partner. To that end, learning 
paths have been established, either guiding employees into a new role or deepening their expertise in their 
current role. In the period under review, the second cohort started role transition with 21 participants. Sixteen 
participants completed the training programme, while five participants extended. This programme will be 
continued in financial year 2023 with a third cohort of around 30 participants. 

The second option offered by for:ward enables employees to apply for an on-demand learning licence that 
includes access to the highest-ranking business and technology programmes of our partners. This option 
was opened up to all TUI employees in the period under review, and they completed nearly 10,600 hours 
of training.

STATEMENTS AND NOTES

Our executives had the opportunity to take part in the development programmes How2 and Global VIBE. 
How2 aims to convey key leadership fundamentals to new executives to ensure that they can fully live up to 
their role. The programme comprises six modules with a wide range of online learning content, eLearning 
modules, teamcasts and Share the VIBE sessions. In financial year 2022, 194 executives successfully completed 
the programme. 

Global VIBE expands the approach underlying How2, building leadership skills in our executives, including the 
ability to lead a global team. This programme, too, benefits from a virtual learning environment with a broad 
range of additional digital resources. In addition, we offer formats enabling our executives to network so that 
they can exchange views and information and learn from one another. Examples include twelve master classes 
held with a total of 829 participants. The advanced leadership programmes Perspectives, Digital STEP and 
Horizons  were  suspended  during  the  COVID-19  pandemic.  Perspectives  and  Horizons  will  be  resumed  in 
March 2023. 

O U T L O O K
Our  People  Strategy  defines  our  priorities  for  the  upcoming  financial  years.  In  a  continually  changing 
business environment, we are investing in the continuous development of our executives and employees. 
New Employer Branding and Employee Listening strategies will support us on the path to being an employer 
of choice and in developing an industry-leading employee experience. In our pursuit of talent management 
we focus on the retention and acquisition of talents with relevant skills in key positions. We aim to promote 
the engagement of our employees and support their wellbeing and resilience. Overall, our goal is to simplify

and standardise our processes and our global way of working. This brings us closer to our vision of being 
Digital, Engaging and Inclusive.

E M P L O Y E E   R E P R E S E N TAT I V E S
TUI Group historically features a strong co-determination landscape. It embraces the Supervisory Board at 
corporate level, the Group Works Council at Group level and many works councils at company level. Cooper-
ation with these committees was very constructive. In the financial year under review, negotiations about an 
agreement  on  safeguarding  the  future  continued  and  were  brought  to  a  successful  conclusion.  This  job 
security agreement creates confidence and provides assurance for our employees in Germany. Other topics 
discussed with the Group Works Council included the further development of the HR IT platform TUI People 
and various reorganisation issues in the framework of the ongoing transformation.

At the international level, the TUI Europe Forum as an information and consultation body represents the 
interests of employees working in companies outside Germany and thus plays an important role as a facili-
tator and integrator in the European framework. This enables discussions about relevant themes, such as 
transformation, to be held both inside and outside Germany on a local and regional level and in the interna-
tional platform organisations. 

O C C U PAT I O N A L   H E A LT H 
TUI Group promotes the physical and mental health of all its employees. In order to ensure that employee 
health  is  given  appropriate  attention,  a  Group-wide  body  of  health  officers  has  been  set  up  to  regularly 
consider best practices, ongoing projects and plans for activities conducive to good health. Against the back-
drop of global challenges in connection with mental disorders, in particular, an even stronger focus will be 
placed on aligning activities to shared goals and establishing stringent processes.

In  the  course  of  the  year,  health-promoting  activities  and  presentations  were  offered  across  the  Group. 
Some of the offerings of the “TUI fit” programme had to be paused or replaced by digital alternatives due to 
the COVID-19 pandemic. The offerings have been resumed in line with statutory requirements.

E M P L O Y E E   I N D I C AT O R S
As at the balance sheet date 30.09.2022, staff numbers rose by 20.8 % to 61,091. The ramp-up of business 
operations  and  the  reopening  of  hotels  and  destinations  following  the  COVID-19  pandemic  resulted  in  a 
significant increase in overall staff numbers in Hotels & Resorts and TUI Musement.

The pay package offered by TUI Group consists of various components, reflecting the framework conditions 
in different countries and companies and the appropriateness of compensation and customary market rates. 
Depending on the function concerned, a fixed salary may go hand in hand with variable components, hon-
ouring individual performance and promoting the sustained participation of employees in the Company’s 
long-term targets. In addition, the Senior Leadership Team can participate in a long-term share-based 
compensation programme based on the allocation of virtual shares. 

The Safety & Risk team’s remit continues to focus on the principal safety risks associated with accommodation, 
transfers, excursions, activities, tours and all other in-destination activities supporting our Tour Operators 
in the Source Markets and TUI Musement. The function’s remit expanded in 2022 to include TUI Hotels & 
Resorts and TUI branded units including TUI Blue – further strengthening their role in this area as a Centre 
of excellence within the Group and driving group wide consistency and visibility.

Many TUI Group companies offer their employees pension schemes in the form of direct benefits or through 
an occupational providence fund, or else by paying in additional employer contributions to pension insurance, 
in some cases beyond the statutory minimum required. In Germany, collective contracts have been concluded 
with an insurance undertaking in order to meet the legal entitlement to deferred compensation.

Customer experience, Security, Health & Safety and crisis management*

In financial year 2022 and in line with local requirements, the measures for managing the spread of COVID-19 
and the associated reporting processes have been amended and integrated into our normal operating pro-
cedures  for  reducing  the  spread  of  all  infectious  diseases.  The  situation  continues  to  be  monitored  and 
measures can be flexed locally as circumstances require.

In addition to the continuous monitoring approach of key risk areas taken in TUI Hotels & Resorts, TUI have 
conducted 4,155 safety assessments across our third party hotel portfolio using a multi-layered assessment 
approach. A brand standard has also been developed for TUI Blue and other concept branded franchised 
units.

We place our guests and their individual wishes and needs at the centre of our organisation in order to offer 
them differentiated and consistent experiences. In this way, we aim to increase customer loyalty and tap into 
new customer segments, as satisfied guests are a decisive factor for the TUI Group’s long-term growth. Our 
goal is to continuously adapt the customer experience to individual needs and to further personalise it. The 
more flexible and personalised design of our products and services is supported by the expansion of our 
product portfolio and our digital platform. 

Building on the data sharing portal established for our Riu hotels in 2021, significant progress has been made 
to further expand our data-led, risk-based approach to Safety Management with third party hoteliers. The 
expansion of the data sharing portals, in partnership with several technical specialist providers who conduct 
safety monitoring / management programs with hoteliers globally, will increase our operational efficiency and 
enable an improved approach to safety risk management.

STATEMENTS AND NOTES

Our integrated business model allows us to accompany our guests through the entire travel experience from 
booking, arrival, hotel stay and cruise to local activities and excursions – digitally and personally. The digital 
travel experience is complemented by the personal appreciation of our employees, which our guests experi-
ence in our travel agencies, aircraft and hotels, on our ships and in the destination. 

The  travel  experience  is  about  relaxing  and  winding  down,  or  discovering  and  exploring  something  new. 
However, the travel experience can also entail a wide range of risks. As far as possible, our activities aim to 
minimise these risks for customers and employees. The business takes a risk based approach to prevent 
intentional risks to the well-being of our customers, such as crime or terror (Security) and offer all customers 
a  travel  experience  within  the  most  security  and  safety,  even  in  relation  to  unintentional  risks  (Health  & 
Safety), for all services booked in the framework of their trips (e. g. flight, transfer to the hotel, hotel stay 
and  excursions).  TUI  continually  monitors  and  analyses  safety-critical  developments  in  destinations  and 
discusses response measures with the markets and other involved business areas.

S A F E T Y
Throughout  the 2022  financial  year,  we  have  further  embedded  and  established  the  Safety  &  Risk  team 
within the Group. With the busiest operational summer since 2019, our revised processes have successfully 
supported the management of safety risk within our operation as the industry continued to open up again 
following the pro-longed shut down.

Group  S&R,  as  a  Centre  of  excellence,  continues  to  support  the  strategic  direction  of  the  business  and 
ensuring that TUI remains a brand that can be trusted.

S E C U R I T Y
Following a review of Group security activities the two functions of Corporate and Destination security were 
merged in early 2022 under one new Head of Security and Intelligence lead. The department now works 
collaboratively to manage the security environment across the business.

This review followed the finalization of the Tunisia inquest and also the responsibility for Hotels and Resorts 
properties security moving to the Group team, as such, two new roles have been added to the Group Security 
team to drive the TUI standard for Security to the next level supporting intelligence management and our 
important own branded hotels. This will ensure we move to an industry leading position with ensures the 
very highest level of security risk management across the Group.

the key figures is likely to change substantially in the future. Currently taxonomy-eligible activities include 
transporting passengers in vessels and buses where this is associated with external turnover and the corre-
sponding capital expenditure and operating expenses. Activities associated with our buildings, in particular 
hotels and administrative buildings are also to be classified as taxonomy-eligible.

Reporting lines and operational work flows had been adjusted to ensure operational Group wide efficiency. 
Experienced crisis managers work within a team to cover areas such as customer, commercial, communica-
tions and insurance management. These experts across the Group facilitate a fast, flexible response to levels 
of crisis. Appropriate reporting and coordination within TUI ensures that management is updated on all key 
incidents and developments and can immediately take decisions if necessary. 

The second step was to determine the indicators relating to these activities. The total turnover means the 
turnover determined under international accounting standards and shown in the Notes. Of this total the 
portion  relating  to  taxonomy-eligible  activities  is  determined.  Turnover  from  package  tours  is  related  to 
different  activities,  as  they  typically  include  a  flight,  transport  in  the  destination  and  an  accommodation 
service on a ship or in a hotel. For the purposes of the EU Taxonomy, this turnover is broken down according 
to the required costs incurred and attributed attributed to passenger transport by ship or bus.

The Group wide crisis management system software for monitoring, escalation and managing of day-to-day 
incidents gives the ability to work individually within each business or together as a group when needed. In 
addition there is, for the first time ever, a business continuity system to be implemented in all markets, at 
the airlines, the cruise division, Hotels & Resorts, and TUI Musement to provide a Group overview on business 
continuity management and activities. The project includes representation from all business areas but also 
with an enhanced governance process supported by Group SHS.

Anti-corruption and anti-bribery

Capital expenditure summarises the additions to the relevant assets mentioned in the Notes to the consol-
idated  financial  statements  in  the  sections  “Good-will”,  “Other  intangible  assets”,  “Property,  plant  and 
equipment” and “Rights of use Assets”. The proportions of capital expenditure allocable to taxonomy- 
eligible activities were identified with the support of our internal project controlling. 

Operating expenses at TUI include in particular non-capitalised renovation and maintenance expenses and 
expenses from short-term leases determined on the basis of our internal reporting. Capital expenditure and 
operating expenses related in particular to TUI’s buildings and to the cruise ships.

  Details  of  TUI  Group’s  anti-corruption  and  anti-bribery  measures  are  presented  in  the  Corporate  Governance  section  on 

 Integrity & Compliance from page 129 in this Report.

Taxonomy-eligible share of economic activities, 2022

Disclosure pursuant to EU Taxonomy Regulation (EU) 2020/852

Pursuant to Article 8 of the Regulation (EU) 2020/852 of 18 June 2020 on the Establishment of a Framework 
to Facilitate Sustainable Investment, TUI AG is publishing its first report in accordance with the Taxonomy 
Regulation. A simplified reporting obligation applies for financial year 2022. Undertakings have to disclose 
information on the extent to which turnover, capital expenditure and operating expenses as defined in the 
Regulation are aligned to the economic activities described in EU Regulations and Delegated Acts and hence 
eligible for the taxonomy. This does not in itself indicate whether they qualify as environmentally sustainable 
under Articles 3 and 9 of the Taxonomy Regulation.

As a first step, TUI has analysed its economic activities, taking into account both activities generating external 
turn-over  and  activities  serving  the  Company’s  own  needs.  TUI’s  main  activities,  flight  operation  and  the 
delivery of accommodation services in hotels, are not currently listed in the EU regulations. Therefore, only 
a small portion of the indicators mentioned above currently relate to taxonomy-eligible activities. The EU has

STATEMENTS AND NOTES

Annual financial Statements of TUI AG

The annual financial statements of TUI AG were prepared in accordance with the provisions of the German 
Commercial Code (HGB), taking account of the complementary provisions of the German Stock Corporation 
Act (AktG), and audited by Deloitte GmbH Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft, Hanover. They are published in 
the Federal Gazette. The annual financial statements have been made permanently available on the Internet 
at https://www.tuigroup.com/en-en

In the present Annual Report, the Management Report of TUI AG has been combined with the Management 
Report of TUI Group.

In the completed financial year, gains on disposal from the sale of two subsidiaries to TUI Holding Spain S. L. 
were significantly lower at € 23.0 m. The decline in Other operating income was also driven by lower income 
from exchange gains. This income was offset by expenses from exchange losses, carried in Other operating 
expenses. Other operating income also included, in particular, income from intercompany charging of service 
costs, carried alongside expenses passed on to TUI AG from other Group companies, carried in Other operating 
expenses. The year-on-year decline in Other operating income was partly offset by a significant increase in 
reversals of write-downs of investments and income from the reversal of provisions no longer required.

E X P E N S E S
The year-on-year increase in personnel costs resulted from a considerable increase in pension expenses due 
to higher transfers to pension provisions and from the formation of personnel provisions for former Executive 
Board members. 

Other operating expenses comprised in particular expenses for exchange losses, the cost of financial and 
monetary transactions, fees, charges, services, transfers to impairments, other administrative costs as well 
as expenses for the intercompany elimination of services. While there was a fall in expenses for exchange 
losses, capital procurement costs in connection with financing schemes and impairments of receivables as 
well as in charges for intercompany services from prior years, expenses for the elimination of intercompany 
services rose only slightly. Overall, this resulted in a decline in Other operating expenses.

N E T   I N C O M E   F R O M   I N V E S T M E N T S
The year-on-year increase in net income from investments is mainly driven by the significant decline in 
expenses for loss transfers, relating predominantly to Leibniz-Service GmbH and other companies allocated 
to Central Operations. The income from profit transfers generated in financial year 2022 resulted from an 
earn-out agreement in connection with the sale of the stake in Riu Hotels S. A. by a subsidiary and profit 
transfers from a company in Hotels & Resorts.

W R I T E - D O W N S   O F   I N V E S T M E N T S
In the period under review, write-downs of investments mainly related to Tour Operator subsidiaries. Due to 
the recovery of the market environment, write-downs were significantly lower than in 2021.

The earnings position of TUI AG, the Group’s parent company, is primarily determined by the appropriation 
of profits by its Group companies, either directly associated with TUI AG via profit and loss transfer agree-
ments or distributing their profits to TUI AG based on relevant resolutions, and the measurement of financial 
investments.

The increase in revenue in financial year 2022 mainly resulted from higher income from licence fees with 
subsidiaries.  Other  operating  income  in  the  previous  year  was  characterised  in  particular  by  the  gain  on 
disposal of € 1.5 bn from the sale of the stake in TUI Cruises to Preussag Beteiligungsverwaltungs GmbH IX.

The development of the interest result mainly resulted from changes in financing schemes such as the 
redemption of the bonds in financial year 2021, the redemption of a part of the credit line from the Revolving 
Credit Facility (RCF) in the completed financial year, the repayment of a part of the warrant bond issued to 
the Economic Stabilisation Fund (ESF) and the early redemption of Silent Participation II in the period under 
review. 

F I X E D   A S S E T S 
At the balance sheet date, fixed assets almost exclusively consisted of investments. The development of 
investments was affected by the intra-Group sale of two subsidiaries to TUI Holding Spain S. L. and in 
particular by write-downs of investments. The write-downs mainly related to shares in Group companies 
allocated to tour operation. The decline was partly offset by write-backs of shares in Group companies, both 
in tour operation and Hotels & Resorts and central segments. Due to redemptions in particular, loans to 
Group companies declined slightly in the financial year under review.

TA X E S
Income taxes and expenses for other taxes mainly resulted from the regular reassessment of tax provisions. 
They did not include any deferred taxes.

For financial year 2022, TUI AG posted a net loss of € 530.9 m.

Net assets and financial position of TUI AG

C U R R E N T   A S S E T S
The increase in current assets by 14.0 % to € 2,254.1 m resulted from a considerable build-up of receivables, 
which more than offset the decline in cash and cash equivalents. The increase in receivables was primarily 
attributable to the development of rights and obligations from profit and loss transfer agreements and a 
receivable from the sale of stakes in subsidiaries to TUI Holding Spain S. L. as well as the short- and medium- 
term  financing  of  Group  companies.  Current  assets  also  rose  due  to  the  cash  deposit  for  the  regulatory 
safeguarding of customer advance payments received on package holidays, carried in Other assets.

TUI AG’s net assets and financial position as well as its balance sheet structure reflect its function as TUI Group’s 
parent company. In financial year 2021, the balance sheet total decreased slightly year-on-year to € 10,022.1 m.

E Q U I T Y
TUI AG’s equity increased by 33.3 % to € 4,044.3 m. This increase was primarily driven by the capital increases 
in October and May during the completed financial year. 

The loss for the year totalled € – 530.9 m. When adding a loss carried forward of € – 300.6 m, net loss totalled 
€ – 831.5 m. The equity ratio rose to 40.4 % (previous year 30.2 %) in financial year 2022.

P R O V I S I O N S
Provisions decreased by € 4.2 m to € 323.3 m. They consisted of pension provisions worth € 164.0 m (previous 
year € 153.7 m), tax provisions worth € 30.1 m (previous year € 32.3 m) and other provisions worth € 129.2 m 
(previous year € 141.5 m).

The increase in pension provisions in the completed financial year was primarily attributable to changes in 
parameters. The decline in Other provisions mainly resulted from the reversal of provisions for assumption 
of risks in connection with the sale of Group companies. In addition, provisions for risks from mining were 
reversed in the completed financial year due to the reduced scope of liability. An opposite effect was caused 
by a slight increase in personnel provisions.

 
 
 
L I A B I L I T I E S
TUI AG’s liabilities totalled € 5,654.5 m as at 30 September 2022, down by € 1,019.1 or 15.3 %.

€ 58.7 m. The ESF continues to hold 58.7 m warrants, entitling the Fund to purchase 58.7 m shares in TUI AG 
at a price of € 1.00 per share.

On the basis of a contractual agreement and due to proceeds from the capital increases, TUI AG’s syndicated 
credit  facilities  originally  amounting  to  approximately  € 4.8 bn  were  reduced  by  approximately  € 920 m  in 
total in April and May 2022. First, the credit facility originally amounting to € 200 m from KfW and a private 
banking consortium, already reduced to € 170 m, was repaid in full. Moreover, around € 750 m of the undrawn 
KfW tranche of € 2.85 bn was cancelled, reducing it to € 2.1 bn. In addition, for regulatory reasons due to 
Brexit, the credit line of a British bank (around € 80 m cash and € 25 m guarantee line) could not be extended 
beyond July 2022. 

In the framework of the third financing package, the Economic Stabilisation Fund (ESF) and TUI AG agreed 
on two silent participations totalling € 1,091 bn in 2020 / 21. The ESF measures comprise Silent Participation I 
of € 420.0 m, convertible into TUI shares at a price of € 1.00 per share, and Silent Participation II totalling 
€ 671.0 m. In May 2022, the Company’s capital was increased, utilising a part of Authorised Capital III, and the 
proceeds  were  used  for  the  early  redemption  of  Silent  Participation  II  on  30  June  2022.  In  the  financial 
statements in accordance with the German Commercial Code, Silent Participation I is carried under Other 
liabilities with a term of five years.

At the end of the financial year, the syndicated credit facility therefore amounted to around € 3.7 bn, including 
a cash tranche from KfW of around € 2.1 bn and a bank guarantee line of € 190.0 m. The term of the credit 
line will end in July 2024. 

The considerable decrease in liabilities to banks and other liabilities was partly offset by the increase in 
liabilities to Group companies. Due to an increase in operating activities, Tour Operator companies, in 
particular, transferred monies to TUI AG.

As at 30 September 2022, the amount of cash drawn from the credit line totalled € 562.0 m, carried as a 
liability to banks. A further amount of € 143.8 m from this credit facility was drawn through the use of 
guarantee lines. 

The  net  financial  position  (cash  and  cash  equivalents  less  liabilities  to  banks,  bonds  and  Schuldschein) 
totalled € – 1,170.9 m (previous year € – 2,430.1 m) in the completed financial year.

Due to TUI AG’s early redemption, in April 2022, of a partial nominal amount of € 91.3 m of the warrant bond 
issued to the Economic Stabilisation Fund (ESF) in October 2022, the remaining nominal amount totalled

Subscribed capital

The subscribed capital of TUI AG consists of no-par value shares, each representing an equal share of the 
capital stock. As a proportion of the capital stock, the value of each share is around € 1.00.

The  subscribed  capital  of  TUI  AG,  registered  in  the  commercial  registers  of  the  district  courts  of  Berlin- 
Charlottenburg and Hanover, consisted of 1,785,205,853 shares at the end of financial year 2022 (previous 
year 1,099,393,634 shares) and correspondingly totalled € 1,785,205,853.00. Each share confers one vote at

 remained attributable by law to Alexey Mordashov, Moscow, Russian Federation, as Alexey Mordashov’s controlling majority in Unifirm 
Limited has so far not been transferred to Ondero Limited / Marina Mordashova, British Virgin Isles, with legal effect. Based on the 
 information available to us, Alexey Mordashov indirectly holds a 30.91 % stake in TUI, including the 3.75 % stake in TUI AG held by 
 Severgroup LLC, Moscow, Russian Federation, which is likewise attributable to him. 
The transfer transaction remained legally ineffective because in mid-March 2022 the German Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate 
Protection (BMWK ) initiated a review procedure under the Foreign Trade and Payments Act against Ondero Limited in relation to the 
transfer of the shares in Unifirm Limited to Ondero Limited (“the transaction”). Due to that review procedure, the legal effect of the 
transaction remains pending until the BMWK either approves the transaction or refrains from a decision within the statutory review 
period. This period commences when Ondero Limited / Marina Mordashova submit the information still required by the BMWK in order 
to undertake its review. 

At the end of financial year 2022, around 73 % of TUI shares were in free float. Around 41 % of all TUI shares 
were held by private shareholders, around 26 % by institutional investors and financial institutes, and around 
33 % by strategic investors.

System of voting right control of any employee share scheme where control rights are 
not exercised directly by the employees 

The ordinary Annual General Meeting on 25 March 2021 resolved to create an authorisation to issue new 
registered shares against cash contribution for up to a maximum of € 109.9 m (Authorised Capital 2021/I). 
This authorisation will expire on 24 March 2026. 

Where  TUI  AG grants shares to employees under its employee share programme, the shares are directly 
transferred to the employees (sometimes with a lock-up period). Beneficiaries are free to exercise the control 
rights to which employee shares entitle them directly, in just the same way as other shareholders, in line with 
statutory requirements and the Articles of Association. 

The Annual General Meeting on 25 March 2021 also resolved to create authorised capital for the issuance of 
new shares against cash or non-cash contribution of € 417.0 m (Authorised Capital 2021/II). The issuance of 
new shares against non-cash contribution is limited to € 109.9 m. This authorisation will expire on 24 March 2026. 

Appointment and removal of Executive Board members and amendments to the 
 Articles of Association 

The appointment and removal of Executive Board members is based on Sections 84 et seq. of the German 
Stock Corporation Act in combination with Section 31 of the German Co-Determination Act. Amendments 
to the Articles of Association are based on the provisions of Sections 179 et seq. of the German Stock 
Corporation Act in combination with Section 24 of the Articles of Association of TUI AG.

Powers of the Executive Board to issue shares 

The  Annual  General  Meeting  on  9  February  2016  adopted  a  resolution  to  create  conditional  capital  of 
€ 150.0 m for the issue of bonds. The authorisation to issue bonds with conversion options or warrants as 
well as profit-sharing rights and income bonds (with or without fixed terms) of up to a nominal amount of 
€ 2.0 bn expired on 8 February 2021. With the issuance of a bond with warrants worth € 150 m to the German 
Economic Stabilisation Fund (ESF) in October 2020, this authorisation was fully used. As at the reporting 
date, the ESF had not used its warrant rights.

In  the  completed  financial  year,  the  latter  two  authorisations  were  used  to  increase  the  capital  stock  by 
€ 523.5 m.

The Annual General Meeting on 25 March 2021 resolved to create conditional capital for the issuance of 
bonds totalling € 109.9 m. The authorisation to issue bonds with conversion options or warrants as well as 
profit-sharing  rights  and  income  bonds  (with  or  without  fixed  terms)  is  limited  to  a  nominal  amount  of 
€ 2.0 bn and expires on 24 March 2026. This authorisation was nearly fully used with the issuance of a 
convertible bond worth € 589.6 m in April and July 2021. As at the balance sheet date, no shares had yet 
been issued to service the convertible bond.

The Annual General Meeting on 8 February 2022 resolved to create an authorisation to use new registered 
shares against cash contribution for up to a maximum of € 162.3 m (Authorised Capital 2022/I). This author-
isation will expire on 7 February 2027.

The Annual General Meeting on 8 February 2022 also resolved to create authorised capital for the issuance 
of new shares against cash or non-cash contribution of € 626.9 m (Authorised Capital 2022/II). The issuance 
of new shares against non-cash contribution is limited to € 162.3 m. This authorisation will expire on 7 Feb-
ruary 2027.

The Annual General Meeting on 13 February 2018 adopted a resolution to create authorised capital for the 
issue of employee shares worth € 30.0 m. The Executive Board of TUI AG is empowered to use this author-
ised  capital  by 12  February 2023  in  one  or  several  transactions  by  issuing  employee  shares  against  cash 
contributions. In the completed financial year, no new employee shares were issued, so that the authorised 
capital still totalled around € 22.3 m at the balance sheet date.

The Annual General Meeting on 8 February 2022 furthermore resolved to create authorised capital for the 
issuance of new shares against cash or non-cash contribution of € 671.0 m. The net proceeds must primarily 
be used to redeem the capital of € 671 m provided to TUI AG by the ESF in the framework of Silent Partici-
pation II (Authorised Capital 2022/III). This authorisation will expire on 7 February 2027. In May of the finan-
cial year under review, the Company’s capital stock was increased by € 162.3 m, drawing in part on Author-
ised Capital III, and the proceeds were used to fully repay Silent Participation II.

The Extraordinary General Meeting on 5 January 2021 resolved to create conditional capital of € 420.0 m in 
order to grant the ESF the right to convert ESF’s asset contribution in the form of a silent participation of 
€ 420.0 m (‘Silent Participation I’) at any time (in a single or several transactions) in full or in part into up to 

The Annual General Meeting on 8 February 2022 resolved to create two additional amounts of capital for the 
issue of bonds worth € 162.3 m and € 81.1 m. The authorisations to issue bonds with conversion options or

warrants as well as profit-sharing rights and income bonds (with or without fixed terms) are limited to a 
nominal amount of € 2.0 bn and will expire on 7 February 2027.

   See the section on Subscribed capital in the Notes to the consolidated financial statements on page 209 and the section on 

Subscribed capital in the annual financial statements of TUI AG (disclosure pursuant to Section 160 (1) no. 2 of the German 

Stock Corporation Act).

Significant agreements taking effect in the event of a change of control of the Company 
following a takeover bid, and the resulting effects 

Some of TUI AG’s outstanding financing instruments contain change of control clauses. A change of control 
occurs in particular if a third partly directly or indirectly acquires control over at least 50 % or the majority 
of the voting shares in TUI AG.

In the event of a change of control, the holders of the Schuldschein worth € 425.0 m, the warrant bond worth 
€ 150 m and the convertible bond worth € 589.6 m must be offered a buyback. For the syndicated credit 
facilities worth € 3.7 bn (including bank guarantees), of which € 562.0 m (via cash) and € 143.8 m (via bank 
guarantees) had been used as at the balance sheet date, a right of termination by the lenders has been 
agreed in the event of a change of control. 

Beyond this, there are no agreements in guarantee, leasing, option or other financing contracts that might 
cause material early redemption obligations that would be of significant relevance for the Group’s liquidity.

Apart from the financing instruments mentioned above, a framework agreement between the Riu family and 
TUI AG includes a change of control clause. A change of control occurs if a shareholder group represents a 

predefined majority of AGM attendees or if one third of the shareholder representatives on the Supervisory 
Board are attributable to a group of shareholders. In the event of a change of control, the Riu family is 
entitled to acquire at least 20 % and at most all shares held by TUI in RIUSA II S. A. at the share value deter-
mined  by  an  internationally  recognised  auditing  company.  Since  TUI  AG’s  Annual  General  Meeting  of  25 
March 2021, the conditions have been met for Unifirm to represent a majority of AGM attendees, so that the 
entitlement has arisen for the Riu family to acquire shares within certain time windows in 2021, 2022 and 
2023. In 2022, the Riu family dispensed with exercising its acquisition right. 

A similar agreement concerning a change of control at  TUI  AG has been concluded with El Chiaty Group. 
Here, too, a change of control occurs if a shareholder group represents a predefined majority of AGM attend-
ees or if one third of the shareholder representatives on the Supervisory Board are attributable to a share-
holder group. In that case, El Chiaty Group is entitled to acquire at least 15 % and at most all shares held by 
TUI in each of the joint hotel companies in Egypt and the United Arab Emirates at a share value determined 
by an internationally recognised auditing company. As the stake in TUI AG held by Unifirm increased following 
the capital increase of 2 November 2021, here, too, a change of control was triggered due to a majority of 
AGM attendees.

A change of control agreement has also been concluded for the joint venture TUI Cruises between Royal 
Caribbean Cruises Ltd. and TUI AG in the event of a change of control in TUI AG. The agreement gives the 
partner the right to demand termination of the joint venture and to purchase the stake held by TUI AG at a 
price which is lower than the selling price of their own stake under certain circumstances.

Compensation agreements have not been concluded between the Company and Executive Board members 
or employees in the event of a takeover bid.

TUI Share1

Impact of COVID-19, war in Ukraine and resulting energy crisis, as well as growing 
 inflation affect TUI share price performance significantly

During financial year 2022, the TUI share price was, at times, highly volatile Apart from the development of 
the COVID-19 pandemic, the war in the Ukraine resulted in major uncertainty in the capital markets. The 
share price fell, in particular, in response to the resulting energy crisis, rising inflation and its potential 
economic impact, including on the tourism sector. The share began the financial year at a price of € 3.19 2,3, 
and declined by around 61 % in the course of the year to close at € 1.24 2,3 on 30 September 2022. 

In October 2021, TUI’s financial year started with a successful capital increase with subscription rights with 
an issue of around 1.1 bn new shares to further strengthen the balance sheet. The net proceeds were used 
to repay state aid and, hence, to reduce net debt and interest expenses.

The winter months were again characterised by rising COVID-19 infection rates as well as measures to con-
trol the spread of the virus. Especially the new, even more contagious Omicron variant caused an increase in 
infection numbers in Q1 in TUI’s source markets and destinations. With the start of the booster vaccination 
campaign  in  Germany  from  mid-December  and  the  assessment  that  the  new  variant  is  contagious  for  a 
shorter period and is associated with weaker symptoms, TUI’s share price recovered substantially towards 
the end of December 2021. Despite a partial lockdown in the winter months, the TUI share recorded an 
annual high of € 3.51 2,3 on 16 February 2022. 

The more optimistic sentiment in the capital markets ended with the Russian attack on Ukraine on 24 Feb-
ruary 2022, resulting in broad economic sanctions against Russia in Europe. As both, Russia and Ukraine are 
leading global suppliers of numerous commodities, global supply shortages arose for key commodities. The 
war in Ukraine also temporarily affected customers’ booking behaviour as well as the share price. However, 
the strong pent-up demand for travel following two years dictated by the pandemic led to a considerable 
recovery in bookings for the Summer season shortly thereafter. This positive development was also reflected 
by the share price: after declining substantially until mid-March, it recovered significantly by mid-May.

In  May,  TUI  delivered  further  progress  in  returning  to  a  solid  and  healthy  financing  structure.  Within  the 
context of a cash capital increase excluding shareholders’ subscription rights, 162,291,441 new shares were 
exclusively issued to institutional investors. The proceeds from the capital increase and available cash were 
used  among  other  things  to  fully  repay  the  Silent  Participation  II  of  € 671 m  of  the  German  government 
(Economic Stabilisation Fund, ESF) plus interest. With this transaction, TUI took a further step towards its 
goal of swiftly reducing the company’s debt, further reducing interest expenses, and repaying state aid from 
the COVID-19 programmes.

In light of the increased resumption of business operations following the COVID-19 pandemic as well as a 
tight labour market, the aviation sector, in particular in the UK, faced major operational disruption in the 
summer months. This disruption was primarily caused by third-party suppliers and airports due to a shortage 
of ground handling and security staff. As a result, airlines saw an increase in the number of delays and flight 
cancellations. For TUI, this resulted in quite substantial compensation payments for delays to customers.

Greater media coverage of flight disruptions, the uncertainty regarding potential energy supply shortages, 
the increase in inflation rates and its potential impact on booking behaviour resulted in additional uncertainty 
in  the  capital  markets.  These  factors  particularly  affected  shares  of  companies  operating  in  the  tourism 
sector. On 30 September, the TUI share closed at € 1.24 2,3, its lowest share price in the financial year.

The TUI share has its primary listing in the Premium segment of the Main Market of the London Stock 
Exchange and is included in FTSE’s UK Index Series. In addition, it has a secondary listing in the electronic 
trading system Xetra and at the Hanover Stock Exchange.

As TUI shares are, apart from their listing at the London Stock Exchange, also admitted to trading in a 
regulated market in Germany, TUI falls within the scope of the German Securities Acquisition and Takeover 
Act and is monitored by the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority and the Financial Conduct Authority in 
this respect.

In addition, TUI is listed in the sustainability index FTSE4Good. In financial year 2022, the average daily trading 
volume at the London Stock Exchange was around 5.1 m shares, while about 8.6 m shares were traded on 
Xetra per day. Across all trading platforms, the daily trading volume in the UK amounted to around 9.6 m 
shares and around 21.0 m shares traded in the euro line. Both the sterling and the euro line thus delivered 
strong liquidity for trading by institutional and retail investors.

1   The 27.16 % stake in TUI AG directly held by Unifirm Limited remains attributable to Alexey Mordashov, despite voting rights  

notifications to the contrary, as Alexey Mordashov’s controlling majority in Unifirm Limited has not yet effectively been transferred  
to Ondero Limited / Marina Mordashova. Taking account of the additional 3.75 % stake of Severgroup LLC in TUI AG also attributable 
to him,  Alexey Mordashov indirectly holds 30.91 % of the shares in TUI AG according to the information available to us. 

 The reason for the legal invalidity of that transfer is that the Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Protection (BMWK )  
initiated a review process under the German Foreign Trade and Payments Act regarding the transfer of the shares in Unifirm Limited 
to Ondero Limited (“the transaction“) in March 2022. Due to this review, the transaction remains provisionally invalid until BMWK 
clears the transaction or does not take a decision within the review deadlines stipulated by law. This period commences when Ondero 
Limited / Marina Mordashova submit the information still required by the BMWK in order to undertake its review.

As a result of the COVID-19 crisis, TUI agreed on three stabilisation packages with the federal German govern-
ment. Conditions attached to the support include a de facto a dividend holiday, which will remain in force 
during the term of the loans and the duration of the investment made by the Economic Stabilisation Fund.

•  Probability of conversion of Silent Participation I and warrant bond of the German government 
•  Strategic priorities: expansion of our TUI Musement segment for tours and activities and ofour dynamic 

packaging offering, and further growth through asset-right financing structures 

•  New sustainability goals: TUI has submitted the emissions reduction targets for its own airlines, cruise 
ships and hotels to the non-governmental organisation Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). TUI aims 
to be a net-zero company by 2050 at the latest.

After foregoing in-person meetings due to the COVID-19 situation in recent financial years TUI returned to 
holding many meetings in-person in financial year 2022. TUI’s management team sought dialogue with 
investors at physical and virtual roadshows and conferences in London, Frankfurt, Munich, Warsaw, Zurich 
and Paris. The management also met investors from other financial hubs in Europe, North America, Asia and 
Australia.

Furthermore,  TUI’s  Investor  Relations  team  places  importance  on  the  direct  engagement  with  private 
investors, which is why intensive exchanges took form of numerous one-on-one conversations.  TUI also 
offers a broad range of information for analysts, investors and private shareholders on its website. All 
conference calls dealing with financial results were transmitted live. 

CONTENTS

Investor Relations

An open and continuous dialogue and transparent communication with our private shareholders, institutional 
investors,  equity  and  credit  analysts,  and  lenders  form  the  basis  for  our  Investor  Relations  engagement. 
Many conversations were held focusing on the Group strategy, business performance in the individual segments, 
the strong operative Summer business following COVID-19, the financing structure, the implications of the 
war in Ukraine as well as the energy crisis. The objective of these conversations is to ensure transparent 
communication so as to enable stakeholders to make a realistic assessment of the future performance of the 
TUI share.

In financial year 2022, dialogue with investors primarily focused on the following topics:

•  Demand for travel, capacity development and booking numbers for the Winter and Summer seasons 
•  Flight disruptions and mitigation measures taken in the Summer season 
•  Effects of the war in Ukraine and cost inflation on prices and margins and customers’ booking behaviour 
•  Implementation of the Global Realignment Programme with planned annual savings of € 400 m 
•  Further repayment of state aid: reducing net debt and progress in returning to a solid and healthy financing

Statement on Corporate Governance*

The actions of TUI AG´s management and oversight bodies are determined by the principles of good and 
responsible corporate governance.

The Executive Board and the Supervisory Board discussed Corporate Governance issues in financial year 2022. 
In this chapter, the Executive Board provides – also for the Supervisory Board – the report on Corporate 
Governance  in  the  Company  pursuant  to  Principle 23  of  the  German  Corporate  Governance  Code  in  the 
version  dated 28  April  2022  (GCGC)  and  section 289a  of  the  German  Commercial  Code  (HGB)  as  well  as 
Disclosure and Transparency Rule (DTR) 7.2 and Listing Rule (LR) 9.8.7R.

Declaration of Compliance pursuant to section 161 of the  
German Stock Corporation Act (AktG)

As a stock corporation company under German law, TUI AG’s Executive Board and Supervisory Board are 
obliged to submit a declaration of compliance with the GCGC pursuant to section 161 of the German Stock 
Corporation Act.

  https://www.dcgk.de/en/code//foreword.html

W O R D I N G   O F   T H E   D E C L A R AT I O N   O F   C O M P L I A N C E   F O R   2 0 2 2
‘In accordance with section 161 of the German Stock Corporation Act, the Executive Board and Supervisory 
Board hereby declare:

Since  the  last  declaration  of  compliance  was  submitted  in  December  2021,  the  recommendations  of  the 
German Corporate Governance Code in its applicable version have been and will be with the exception of 
several Recommendations in Section G. I. 3. observed. 

R E C O M M E N D AT I O N S   F O R   D E T E R M I N I N G   T H E   V A R I A B L E   R E M U N E R AT I O N   C O M P O N E N T S   ( S E C T I O N   G . I . 3 . ) 
In the framework of the stabilisation measures agreed with the Economic Stabilisation Fund, restrictions 
were agreed for TUI AG regarding the remuneration of Executive Board members. These restrictions lead to 
the situation that the members of the Executive Board will not be granted and thus will not be constituted 
variable or comparable remuneration during the stabilisation measures. In this respect, Recommendations 
G.6 (Share of variable remuneration resulting from long-term and short-term targets), G.7 (Determination 
of performance criteria for all variable remuneration components), G.9 sentence 1 (Determination of the 
amount of variable remuneration to be granted) and G.11 sentence 1 (Consideration of extraordinary develop-
ments for variable remuneration) are void and as a precautionary measure, a deviation from these recom-
mendations is declared.’

Declaration of Compliance pursuant to DTR 7.2 and LR 9.8.7R 

As an overseas company with a premium listing on the London Stock Exchange, TUI AG’s Executive Board 
and Supervisory Board are obliged pursuant to No. 7.2 DTR and LR 9.8.7R to make a statement on the 
application of the UK Corporate Governance Code (UK CGC). Since the German Corporate Governance Code 
also applies to TUI AG as a stock corporation under German law, TUI AG had announced at the time of its 
merger with TUI Travel PLC that it would also comply with the UK CGC to the extent practicable.

 https://www.frc.org.uk/getattachment/88bd8c45-50ea-4841-95b0-d2f4f48069a2/2018-UK-Corporate-Governance-Code-FINAL.PDF

In many respects, the requirements of the  GCGC and the UK CGC are similar. However, there are certain 
aspects that are not compatible, which are explained below. Therefore, some deviations from Code require-
ments and best practice in the UK have been necessary. 

Under the German Stock Corporation Act, the legislation applicable to TUI AG, a two-tier board system is 
mandatory (see below section ‘Functioning of the Executive and Supervisory Board’ on page 116). The two-
tier board structure is different to the UK unitary board structure on which the UK CGC is based. Some of 
the principles of composition and operation of the boards of a German stock corporation also differ from 
those of a UK company (for example, the function of a Company Secretary does not exist in the GCGC). For 
this reason, the Executive Board and the Supervisory Board have set out below in which areas the UK CGC 
is not complied with and explained the reasons for the deviations. In addition, the Executive Board and the 
Supervisory Board have also explained those instances where they consider TUI AG not to be compliant with 
the UK CGC in the literal sense but where it lives up to the spirit and meaning of the respective regulation.

Sub-headings refer to sections of the UK CGC for ease of reference for investors.

It is still not widespread practice in German companies for committee chairs to make themselves available 
for meetings with shareholders. The German Corporate Governance Code stipulates in the Suggestion A.3 
that the Chairman of the Supervisory Board should be available – within reasonable limits – to discuss 
Supervisory Board-related issues with investors.

The Supervisory Board receives feedback from the Chairman and Executive Board members following meet-
ings with major shareholders or investors. Additionally, a monthly Investor Relations Report and event-driven 
assessments  of  brokers  are  forwarded  to  the  Executive  Board  and  the  Supervisory  Board.  They  contain 
updates on the share price development, analyses of the shareholder structure as well as purchases and 
sales of shares and feedback and assessments from investors. The Executive Board and the Supervisory 
Board consider that TUI AG lives up to the spirit and meaning of the UK Code.

I N D E P E N D E N C E   O F   S U P E R V I S O R Y   B O A R D   M E M B E R S   ( P R O V I S I O N   1 0 )
Under the UK CGC, the Board must identify in the annual report each non-executive director it considers to 
be ‘independent’ for the purposes of the UK Code. Based on the responsibilities assigned to the Supervisory 
Board by the German Stock Corporation Act, the members of the Supervisory Board are considered to be 
non-executive directors for the purposes of the UK CGC. Under the UK CGC, persons are ‘independent’ if 
they are independent in character and judgement and if there are no relationships or circumstances which 
are likely to affect, or could appear to affect, their judgement. TUI AG does not, however, extend its inde-
pendence disclosures to its 10 employee representatives on the Supervisory Board (for a detailed explanation 
of shareholder and employee representatives and the underlying considerations, please see below).

The Supervisory Board has determined that seven of its nine shareholder representatives (the Chairman is 
not  taken  into  account  according  to  the  UK  CGC)  are  independent  for  the  purposes  of  the  UK  CGC.  The 
shareholder representatives considered to be independent are: Ms Ingrid-Helen Arnold, Mr Christian Baier, 
Prof. Dr Edgar Ernst, Ms María Garaña Corces, Ms Janina Kugel, Ms Coline McConville and Ms Helena Murano. 
Additionally, the Chairman, Dr Dieter Zetsche, was independent on election in 2019 and is still considered 
independent (Dr Dieter Zetsche also was independent when he was elected to the Supervisory Board in 
February 2018).

Prof. Dr Ernst has been a member of the Supervisory Board of TUI AG since 9 February 2011. According to 
the UK CGC, it is an indication of a lack of independence if a member has been on the Supervisory Board for 
more than nine years; according to the GCGC, it is an indication of a lack of independence from the Executive 
Board and the Company if a member has been on the Supervisory Board for more than twelve years. In view 
of this, the shareholder representatives on the Supervisory Board have taken a close look at how they assess 
Prof. Dr Ernst’s independence. In particular in view of Prof. Dr Ernst’s professional career, the shareholder 
representatives have come to the conclusion that Prof. Dr Ernst – also taking into account his membership 
on the Supervisory Board of TUI AG of over eleven years – provides the necessary critical distance from the 
Executive Board and the Company and therefore consider him to be independent. Prof. Dr Ernst has exhibited 
his  critical  distance  from  the  Executive  Board  and  the  Company  in  the  past,  especially  in  his  position  as 
Chairman of the Audit Committee.

Representatives’). This differs from UK practice where only those board members representing major share-
holders are typically referred to as ‘Shareholder Representatives’ and are not considered as independent 
under the UK CGC because of their link to a significant shareholder.

At TUI AG, Mr Joan Trían Riu (Riu Hotels S. A., approx. 2.2 % of the voting rights as of 30 September 2022) 
is linked to a major shareholder. Dr Jutta Dönges is Managing Director of the Finance Agency GmbH of the 
Federal Republic of Germany until 31 October 2022. On 4 January 2021, TUI AG entered into Framework 
Agreement with the Economic Stabilisation Fund (WSF) represented by Finance Agency GmbH regarding 
the WSF's entry into the silent participations and the further measures under the stabilisation package. 
Dr Dönges was nominated by the WSF for membership of the Supervisory Board of TUI AG. Therefore, 
neither Dr Dönges, nor Mr Trían Riu are considered independent for the purposes of the UK CGC.

Mr Alexey Mordashov controlled Unifirm Ltd., which held approx. 34 % of shares in  TUI  AG until shortly 
before he left the Supervisory Board at the beginning of March 2022. Mr Vladimir Lukin acted as advisor to 
the CEO of OOO Severgroup until his resignation at the beginning of March 2022. As a result, he was associ-
ated with Mr Mordashov. Mr Mordashov and Mr Lukin were thereby qualified as non-independent.

On 15 December 2020, TUI AG and Unifirm Ltd. entered into a Relationship Agreement which has been in 
effect since Unifirm Ltd. holds 30 % or more of the shares in the company and is therefore deemed to be a 
controlling shareholder within the meaning of LR Appendix 1. The main purpose of the Relationship Agree-
ment is to ensure that the company and its subsidiaries are able to conduct their business independently. In 
this context, pursuant to LR 9.8.4 (14), the Executive Board and the Supervisory Board declare that TUI AG 
complies with the requirements of the Listing Rules with regard to the controlling shareholder and that, as 
far as TUI AG is aware, Unifirm Ltd. both complies with these requirements itself and ensures that its 
affiliates comply with them.

Seven of the ten employee representatives of the Supervisory Board are elected by the employees of TUI 
Group entitled to vote. Three employee representatives are nominated by a German trade union. 

The Supervisory Board members currently qualified as non-independent under the UK CGC are Dr Jutta 
Dönges, and Mr Joan Trían Riu. Mr Vladimir Lukin and Mr Alexey Mordashov were also qualified as non- 
independent. Mr Mordashov was a member of the Supervisory Board until 2 March 2022 and Mr Lukin until 
3 March 2022. Ms Murano and Mr Baier, who were appointed to the Supervisory Board by the court to fill 
the vacancies, are qualified as independent.

Under the UK CGC, directors who are or have been employees of the Group in the last five years or who 
participate in the Group’s pension arrangements would generally not be considered independent. In the UK, 
directors with an employment relationship are normally current or former executives. By contrast, under 
German law, employee representatives of the Supervisory Board must be employees of the Group, and must 
be elected by the employees without any involvement of the Executive or Supervisory Boards. Furthermore, 
the employment contract of employee representatives may only be terminated in exceptional cases.

In reaching its determination, the Supervisory Board has considered, in particular, the factors set out below.

The employee representatives may also participate in Group pension schemes as is normal for employees 
and in their capacity as employees.

Trade union representatives are nominated, and employed by the trade union but are still classified as em-
ployee representatives. They can only be removed from the Supervisory Board by their respective union and 
neither the Executive nor the Supervisory Board has any role in their appointment or removal.

N O M I N AT I O N   C O M M I T T E E   –   C O M P O S I T I O N   A N D   R E S P O N S I B I L I T I E S   ( P R O V I S I O N   17 )
The role of the Nomination Committee in a typical UK company is fulfilled in TUI AG by two Committees of 
the Supervisory Board:

H A L F   T H E   B O A R D   S H O U L D   B E   I N D E P E N D E N T   N O N - E X E C U T I V E   D I R E C T O R S   ( P R O V I S I O N   11)
As mentioned above, TUI AG's Supervisory Board consists of ten employee and ten shareholder represen-
tatives. As the employee representatives are not considered independent under the UK CGC, TUI AG's Super-
visory Board comprises seven (excluding the Chairman of the Supervisory Board) independent shareholder 
representatives. 

I D E N T I F I C AT I O N   O F   S E N I O R   I N D E P E N D E N T   D I R E C T O R   ( P R O V I S I O N   12 )
Under German law and the GCGC, there is no concept of a ‘Senior Independent Director’. Instead, share-
holders may raise any issues at the Annual General Meeting (AGM). In this forum, the Executive Board and 
the Chairman of the Supervisory Board are available to address any issues and are legally obliged to provide 
adequate responses.

Outside the AGM, shareholders may approach the Executive Board, in particular the CEO or the CFO, or, 
for topics relating to Supervisory Board matters, the Chairman of the Supervisory Board or his Deputy. 
Mr Frank Jakobi, as employee representative, is Deputy Chairman of the Supervisory Board in accordance 
with the German Co-Determination Act.

D I V I S I O N   O F   R E S P O N S I B I L I T I E S   –   C H A I R M A N   &   C H I E F   E X E C U T I V E   ( P R O V I S I O N   14 )
The separation of the roles of the Chairman of the Supervisory Board (Dr Dieter Zetsche) and the CEO 
(Mr Friedrich Joussen) is clearly defined under German law as part of the two-tier board structure. There-
fore, no further division of their responsibilities as well as responsibilities of the Executive Board and the 
Supervisory Board is required or even possible. In addition, the division of responsibilities within the Execu-
tive Board and the Supervisory Board as well as its committees also results directly from legislation and the 
respective  terms  of  reference.  Therefore,  the  Executive  Board  and  the  Supervisory  Board  consider  that 
TUI AG lives up to the spirit and meaning of the UK CGC.

A D V I C E   A N D   S E R V I C E   O F   T H E   C O M PA N Y   S E C R E TA R Y   ( P R O V I S I O N   1 6 )
There is no specific role of Company Secretary in German companies. However, Executive and Supervisory 
Board members have access to the Board Office of TUI AG if they need any advice on all governance matters 
or other services. The Board Office acts as an interface in corporate matters for the Executive and Super-
visory Board members and is responsible for ensuring that the requisite processes and procedures are in 
place  governing  all  Executive  and  Supervisory  Board  meetings  (i. e.  preparation  of  agendas,  minuting  of 
meetings and ensuring compliance with German and UK law, as appropriate, and with recommendations for 
corporate governance). The Board Office also supports the Chairman of the Supervisory Board, the CEO, the 
CFO and the Chairmen of the Audit and the Strategy Committees. Executive and Supervisory Board mem-
bers also have access to legal advice via the Group Director Legal, Compliance & Board Office and via the 
Board Office. The Supervisory Board can also approach the Executive Board directly for specific advice on 
any matters. Accordingly, the Executive Board and the Supervisory Board consider that TUI AG lives up to 
the spirit and meaning of the UK CGC.

Under the Terms of Reference for the Supervisory Board and its Committees (which are equivalent to the 
Terms of Reference of a British corporation) the Nomination Committee considers and proposes suitable 
candidates as shareholder representatives to the Supervisory Board for its election proposals to the AGM. 
The Presiding Committee determines the requirements and remuneration for any new appointments to the 
Executive Board and recommends suitable candidates to the Supervisory Board. On that basis, the Super-
visory Board appoints Executive Board members. This approach is different from the UK where all director 
appointments are approved by shareholders at the AGM. Succession planning for management levels below 
Executive Board is carried out by the Executive Board. 

However, as is common practice in Germany, at each AGM shareholders are asked to decide whether they 
approve the actions of the Executive Board and Supervisory Board members during the past financial year. 
Since the AGM 2015, in the light of UK practice, TUI AG has changed its procedure to allow a separate vote 
on each individual Executive Board and Supervisory Board member, as it is customary in the UK.

TUI AG intends to continue this practice. Accordingly, the Supervisory Board considers that TUI AG lives up 
to the spirit and meaning of the UK CGC to the extent practicable.

The Nomination Committee consists of Prof. Dr Ernst, Dr Zetsche as Committee Chairman and Dr Dönges, 
who is considered as a dependent.

A N N U A L   R E - E L E C T I O N   B Y   S H A R E H O L D E R S   AT   T H E   A G M   ( P R O V I S I O N   1 8 )
None of the Executive or Supervisory Board members is re-elected annually. However, as noted above, in 
light of the UK CGC and UK best practice, TUI AG voluntarily puts individual resolutions approving the actions 
of each Executive and Supervisory Board member to the AGM resolving on the annual financial statements 
for the previous year. TUI AG intends to continue this practice.

The end of appointment periods for Supervisory Board members are disclosed in the table from page 108.

The  performance  of  each  individual  Executive  Board  member  is  evaluated  annually  by  the  Supervisory 
Board for the annual performance-based remuneration. In this context, the Supervisory Board also reviews 
the individual member’s overall performance as part of the Executive Board. However, no external perform-
ance evaluation is done for the Executive Board.

E S TA B L I S H E D   A N D   O P E R AT I O N   O F   R E M U N E R AT I O N   C O M M I T T E E   ( P R O V I S I O N   3 2 ,   3 4   A N D   41)
In the German governance structure there is no separate Remuneration Committee. The remuneration of 
the Executive Board is under involvement of the employee representatives monitored and agreed by the 
Supervisory  Board  based  on  recommendations  from  the  Presiding  Committee,  which  is  governed  by  the 
Supervisory Board Terms of Reference.

The  efficiency  of  the  Supervisory  Board  is  reviewed  regularly,  but  not  annually.  Each  Supervisory  Board 
member can give feedback to the Chairman, the Deputy Chairman or the Supervisory Board as a whole as 
and when appropriate or required.

The remuneration of the members of the Supervisory Board and the members of the Supervisory Board 
Committees is governed by the Articles of Association as resolved on by the shareholders at the AGM.

The last self-assessment was conducted internally at the end of September 2020. For this purpose, a ques-
tionnaire was distributed to all members, in which they could give their assessment of the effectiveness of 
the working methods of the Supervisory Board and its committees. The Presiding Committee and the Super-
visory Board have subsequently dealt with the results and derived measures from them. These primarily 
concerned the work of the Supervisory Board, the organisation of the meetings and the main topics that the 
Supervisory Board dealt with in more detail. The next self-assessment is planned for 2023. 

See the Directors’ Remuneration Report from page 132 for full details on Executive and Supervisory Board 
member´s remuneration.

Neither  German  law  nor  the  German  Corporate  Governance  Code  requires  the  company  to  implement  a 
policy for post-employment shareholding requirements. According to the remuneration system approved by 
the Annual General Meeting in 2021, no policy is provided for post-employment shareholding requirements.

For the activities of the Nomination Committee, see page 16 which is part of the Chairman’s letter to share-
holders. The succession planning approach is outlined on page 121. The policy on diversity and inclusion can 
be found on page 90. For evaluation of the performance of the Board, see above. 

N O T I C E   P E R I O D S   F O R   E X E C U T I V E   D I R E C T O R S   ( P R O V I S I O N   3 9 )
In  accordance  with  the  customary  practice  in  Germany  members  of  the  Executive  Board  are  generally 
appointed for a term of three to five years. This is not yet fully in line with the UK CGC recommendation that 
notice periods or contract terms should be set at one year or less. However, the contracts include maximum 
limits on the amounts payable on termination.

C O M P O S I T I O N   O F   T H E   A U D I T   C O M M I T T E E   ( P R O V I S I O N   2 4 )
Neither  German  law  nor  the  German  Corporate  Governance  Code  stipulates  that  the  Chairman  of  the 
Supervisory Board should not be a member of the Audit Committee and that the Audit Committee may only 
consist of independent members. The Audit Committee consists of Dr Zetsche as Chairman of the Super-
visory Board and Dr Dönges, who is not considered to be independent. (Until 3 March 2022, a member of 
the Audit Committee was Mr Lukin, who was also considered to be a dependent). TUI AG therefore does not 
fully meet the requirements of the UK CGC, but is of the opinion that the current composition of the Audit 
Committee ensures reliable work based on experience.

In a German stock corporation the Executive Board is responsible for drafting the Annual Report & Accounts 
(ARA). According to section 243 (2) of the German Commercial Act (HGB) the ARA must be clearly arranged 
and should present a realistic picture of the Company’s economic situation. This is equivalent to the UK Code 
requirement for the ARA to be fair, balanced and understandable. Although this assessment has not been 
delegated to the Audit Committee, the Executive Board is convinced that this ARA satisfies both requirements.

TUI AG is a company under German law. One of the fundamental principles of German stock corporation law 
is the dual management system involving two bodies, the Executive Board in charge of managing the 
company and the Supervisory Board in charge of monitoring the company. TUI AG’s Executive Board and 
Supervisory Board cooperate closely and in a spirit of trust in managing and overseeing the Company, with 
strict separation between the two bodies in terms of their membership and competences. Both bodies are 
obliged  to  ensure  the  continued  existence  of  the  Company  and  sustainable  creation  of  added  value  in 
harmony with the principles of the social market economy.

STATEMENTS AND NOTES

In accordance with the law and the Articles of Association, the Supervisory Board had 20 members at the 
balance sheet date, i. e. 30 September 2022. As the oversight body, the Supervisory Board provided on-going 
advice and supervision for the Executive Board in managing the Company in financial year 2022, as required 
by the law, the Articles of Association and its own Terms of Reference. The Supervisory Board is involved in 
strategic and planning decisions and all decisions of fundamental importance to the Company. When the 
Executive  Board  takes  decisions  on  major  transactions,  such  as  the  annual  budget,  major  acquisitions  or 
divestments, it is required by its terms of reference to seek the approval of the Supervisory Board. The 
Chairman of the Supervisory Board coordinates the work in the Supervisory Board, chairs its meetings and 
represents  the  concerns  of  the  body  externally.  The  Supervisory  Board  and  the  Audit  Committee  have 
adopted terms of reference for their own work. The Terms of Reference of the Supervisory Board are available 
on the company's website. 

   For further details, please refer to the Report of the Supervisory Board on page 11.

TUI AG has taken out a D&O insurance policy for all members of the Executive Board and Supervisory Board, 
providing for a deductible for Executive Board members in accordance with the statutory requirements of 
the German Stock Corporation Act. The deductible amounts to 10 % of the loss up to the amount of one and 
a half times the fixed annual compensation.

TUI AG falls within the scope of the German Industrial Co-Determination Act (MitbestG). The Supervisory 
Board is therefore composed of an equal number of shareholder representatives and employee represen-
tatives. Employee representatives within the meaning of the Act include a senior manager (section 5 (3) of 
the  German  Works  Constitution  Act)  and  three  trade  union  representatives.  In  financial  year  2022,  the 
Supervisory Board updated its competence profile for the composition of the entire body. The competence 
profile of the Supervisory Board is published at https://www.tuigroup.com/en-en/investors/corporate-

45 % of the Supervisory Board members were women and 55 % were men at the balance sheet date. The 
Supervisory Board was therefore compliant with section 96 (2) sentence 1 of the German Stock Corporation Act. 
Neither  the  shareholder  nor  the  employee  representatives  of  the  Supervisory  Board  have  objected  with 
regard to overall compliance in accordance with section 96 (2) sentence 2 of the German Stock Corporation 
Act. 

Her expertise in the field of accounting also includes, in particular, knowledge and experience in the application 
of  accounting  principles  and  internal  control  and  risk  management  systems.  Her  expertise  in  the  field  of 
auditing includes, in particular, knowledge and experience in the auditing of financial statements. This includes 
sustainability reporting and its audit, whereby this is oriented, among other things, to the standards of the 
Global Reporting Initiative (GRI).

By resolution of 15 September 2020, the Supervisory Board extended the target of one woman on the 
Executive Board until 30 September 2023 in accordance with section 111 para. 5 AktG. In August 2021, the 
Second Management Positions Act – FüPoG II – came into force. According to this law, at least one woman 
and at least one man must be a member of the Executive Board of a listed company with equal co-determin-
ation and with more than three members on the Executive Board. The company has already complied with 
this requirement in the reporting period with the membership of Ms Sybille Reiss.

T R A I N I N G   A N D   P R O F E S S I O N A L   D E V E L O P M E N T   M E A S U R E S
The  members  of  the  Supervisory  Board  take  responsibility  for  undertaking  any  training  or  professional 
development measures necessary to fulfil their duties, for example on issues of corporate governance or 
changes in the legal framework and they receive support in this respect from the company. The company 
regularly informs its members about current changes in the legislation as well as about relevant topics relating 
to the company. New members of the Supervisory Board are given the opportunity to be introduced in detail 
to key issues of the Supervisory Board as part of the onboarding programme. In addition, they have meetings 
with members of the Executive Board in order to receive further information on their respective areas of 
responsibility.

C O N F L I C T S   O F   I N T E R E S T
Executive and Supervisory Board members are bound to observe the TUI AG’s best interests. In addition, 
Executive Board members are subject to comprehensive non-compete clauses throughout the duration of 
their  appointment.  In  the  completed  financial  year 2022,  there  were  no  conflicts  of  interest  requiring 
disclosure to the Chairmen of the Supervisory Board or the Executive Board. None of the Executive Board 
or Supervisory Board members has a board role or a consultancy contract with one of TUI’s competitors. 

In accordance with the Framework Agreement that the Company entered into with the WSF dated 4 Janu-
ary 2021, the WSF was involved in the selection of the candidates Dr Jutta Dönges and Ms Janina Kugel for 
the Supervisory Board as the Framework Agreement provides for the obligation of the Executive Board and 
the Supervisory Board, to the extent legally permissible, to endeavour to procure that two persons nominated 
by the WSF will become members of the Supervisory Board. Other than that, no current member of the 
Executive Board has been appointed, and no member of the Supervisory Board has been elected, pursuant 
to any arrangement or understanding with major shareholders, customers, suppliers or others. There are no 
family relationships between any current members of the Executive Board or Supervisory Board.

The Executive Board resolved, in line with section 76 (4) of the German Stock Corporation Act, that women 
should account for 25 % of executives at the level immediately below the Executive Board and 30 % at the 
second level below the Executive Board. Both targets should be reached by 30 September 2023. For this 
reason, TUI AG has implemented various measures aimed at increasing the proportion of women on a long-
term and sustainable basis over the past years. This includes, among other things, the promotion of women 
in talent programmes and specifically addressing them in the recruitment process. In addition, at least one 
female should be on the shortlist in the recruitment process for positions in the Senior Leadership Team. 
Despite all the measures taken, the suitability and qualification of candidates for filling vacant positions are 
still of primary importance. With the proportion of women of 21 % at the first management level below 
the Executive Board, we are approaching our target of 25 %. At the second management level below the 
Executive Board, the proportion of women has remained stable at 24 %.

S H A R E H O L D E R S   A N D   A N N U A L   G E N E R A L   M E E T I N G
TUI AG shareholders exercise their co-determination and monitoring rights at the Annual General Meeting, 
which takes place at least once a year. The AGM takes decisions on all statutory matters, and these are binding 
on all shareholders and the Company. For voting on resolutions, each share confers one vote.

All shareholders registering in due time are entitled to participate in the Annual General Meeting. Shareholders 
who are not able to attend the AGM in person are entitled to have their voting rights exercised by a share-
holder association, one of the representatives provided by TUI AG and acting on the shareholders’ behalf in 
accordance with their instructions, or some other proxy of their own choosing. Shareholders also have the 
opportunity of authorising the representative provided by TUI AG via the web or by postal vote in the run-up 
to the AGM. Shareholders can, moreover, register for electronic dispatch of the AGM documents.

The invitation to the AGM and the reports and information required for voting are published in accordance 
with the provisions of the German Stock Corporation Act and provided in German and English on TUI AG’s 
website. During the AGM, the presentations by the Chairman of the Supervisory Board and the Executive 
Board members can be followed live over the Internet.

At the Annual General Meeting of TUI AG on 8 February 2022, no resolution received 20 % or more against 
votes.

At the Annual General Meeting of TUI AG on 25 March 2021 the resolution approving the re-election of 
Mr Alexey Mordashov to the Supervisory Board of the Company (Resolution 8.4) received 75.61 % votes in 
favour and 24.39 % votes against (with 0.67 % of votes withheld and so not counted). As more than 20 % of 
the votes cast were against the resolution the Company has sought to understand the reasons for this, as 
required by the UK CGC. The Company subsequently issued a statement, the original version of which can 
be accessed via the following link.

The Company was informed by Mr David Burling, Mr Sebastian Ebel, Mr Stefan Heinemann, Mr Friedrich 
Joussen, Mr Peter Krueger, Mr Alexey Mordashov (via Unifirm Limited and Severgroup LLC), Ms Sybille Reiss, 
Mr Frank Rosenberger, Ms Anette Strempel und Dr Dieter Zetsche of notifiable purchase and sale transactions 
of TUI AG shares or related financial instruments by directors (directors’ dealings or managers’ transactions) 
concerning financial year 2022. Details are provided on the Company’s website.

Purchase  and  sales  transactions  by  members  of  the  boards  are  governed  by  the  Group  Manual  Share 
Dealings  by  Restricted  Persons,  approved  by  the  Executive  Board  and  the  Supervisory  Board,  alongside 
corresponding  statutory  provisions.  The  Group  Manual  Share  Dealings  by  Restricted  Persons  stipulates 
above all an obligation to receive a clearance to deal for transactions with TUI AG’s financial instruments.

Good corporate governance entails the responsible handling of commercial risks. The Executive Board of 
TUI AG and the management of the TUI Group have comprehensive general and company-specific reporting 
and monitoring systems available to identify, assess and manage these risks. These systems are continually 
developed,  adjusted  to  match  changes  in  overall  conditions  and  reviewed  by  the  auditors.  The  Executive 
Board regularly informs the Supervisory Board about existing risks and changes to these risks. The Audit 
Committee deals in particular with monitoring the accounting process, including reporting, the effectiveness 
of the internal control and risk management systems and the internal auditing system, compliance and audit 
of the annual financial statements. The chairman of the Audit Committee reports to the Supervisory Board 
on the work of the committee at the next Supervisory Board meeting at the latest.

A C C O U N T I N G   A N D   A U D I T I N G
TUI  AG  prepares  its  consolidated  financial  statements  and  consolidated  interim  financial  statements  in 
accordance with the provisions of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as applicable in the 
European Union. The statutory annual financial statements of TUI AG, which form the basis for the dividend 
payment, are prepared in accordance with the German Commercial Code (HGB). The consolidated financial 
statements are prepared by the Executive Board, audited by the auditors and approved by the Supervisory 
Board.  The  interim  report  is  discussed  between  the  Audit  Committee  and  the  Executive  Board  prior  to 
publication. The consolidated financial statements and the financial statements of TUI AG were audited by 
Deloitte GmbH Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft, Hanover, the auditors elected by the 2022 Annual General 
Meeting. The audit was based on German auditing rules, taking account of the generally accepted auditing 
standards issued by the German Auditors’ Institute as well as the International Standards on Auditing. It also 
covered the risk detection system. A review pursuant to Listing Rule 9.8.10 R (1) and (2) was carried out.

More detailed information about risk management in the TUI Group is presented in the Risk Report. It also 
contains the report on the accounting-related internal control and risk management system required in 
accordance with the German Commercial Code (sections 289 (5), 315 (2) no. 5 HGB).

  See audit opinion by the auditors on page 260.

T R A N S PA R E N C Y
TUI provides immediate, regular and up-to-date information about the Group’s economic situation and new 
developments to capital market participants and the interested public. The Annual Report and the Interim 
Reports are published within the applicable timeframes. The Company publishes press releases and ad hoc 
announcements, if required, on topical events and any new developments. Moreover, the company website 
at https://www.tuigroup.com/en-en provides comprehensive information on TUI Group and the TUI share. 

The scheduled dates for the principal regular events and publications – such as the AGM, Annual Report and 
Interim Reports – are set out in a financial calendar. The calendar is published well in advance and made 
permanently accessible to the public on TUI AG’s website.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statement and management report as of 31 March 2022 was 
reviewed by the auditors. In addition, a contractual agreement was concluded with the auditors to the effect 
that the auditors will immediately inform the Supervisory Board or the Audit Committee about all findings 
and issues of importance for its tasks which come to the knowledge of the auditors during the performance 
of the audit. Furthermore, it was agreed with the auditors that they inform the Supervisory Board or the 
Audit Committee and note in the audit report if during the performance of the audit, any facts were identi-
fied  that  indicate  an  inaccuracy  in  the  Declaration  of  Compliance  regarding  the  recommendations  of  the 
GCGC issued by the Executive Board and Supervisory Board. There were no grounds to provide such infor-
mation in the framework of the audit of financial year 2022.

Under the UK CGC, TUI AG is required to provide information on how it complies with the requirements of 
section 172 of the Companies Act 2006, including how it takes into account the interests of key stakeholders 
in discussions and decisions.

The  Company  considers  key  stakeholders  to  be  customers,  employees,  shareholders  and  other  financial 
stakeholders, suppliers and Non-governmental organisations. 

Further details on how the company engages with particular stakeholders can be found on the following 
pages of this Annual Report:

•  Customers – see page 95
•  Employees – see page 87
•  Shareholders and other financial stakeholders – see pages 103 and 162

Diversity concepts for the composition of the Executive Board and Supervisory Boards

D I V E R S I T Y   C O N C E P T   F O R   T H E   C O M P O S I T I O N   O F   T H E   E X E C U T I V E   B O A R D 
The diversity concept for the composition of the Executive Board takes into account the following diversity 
aspects:

(a)  Age:

 As a rule, the employment contracts of members of the Executive Board end once the standard retire-
ment age for statutory retirement insurance has been reached (currently 67);

(b) Gender:

 The Executive Board should include one woman;

(c)  Educational / professional background:

 The necessity for a variety of educational and professional backgrounds already arises from the obligation 
to manage the company in accordance with the law, the company’s articles of association and its terms 
of reference. In addition, the Executive Board as a whole, through its individual members, should possess 
the following essential background qualities:
•  management experience, some of which ideally has been acquired abroad, and intercultural compe-

tence for successful management and motivation of global teams;

•  in-depth  practical  experience  in  stakeholder  dialogue  (i. e.  with  managers  and  employees,  including 

their representative bodies, with shareholders and the public);

•  experience  in  IT  management  and  an  understanding  of  digitalisation  of  vertically  integrated  value 

chains;

•  profound experience in value-driven, KPI-based strategy development and implementation and corporate 

12 1

governance;

•  profound knowledge of the intricacies and requirements of the capital market (shareholder management);
•  knowledge of accounting and financial management (controlling, financing);
•  in-depth understanding of and experience with change management.

G O A L S   O F   T H E   D I V E R S I T Y   C O N C E P T   F O R   T H E   C O M P O S I T I O N   O F   T H E   E X E C U T I V E   B O A R D 
The standard retirement age on the one hand enables incumbent members of the Executive Board to 
contribute their professional and life experience for the good of the company for as long a time as possible. 
On the other hand, adherence to the standard retirement age is intended to promote regular rejuvenation 
of the board.

Inclusion of both genders in Executive Board work is on the one hand an expression of the conviction of the 
Supervisory Board that mixed-gender teams lead to the same or better outcomes as teams with representation 
from only one gender. But it is also the logical continuation of the gender diversity measures implemented 
by the Executive Board within the wider company, which aim to increase the proportion of women in leader-
ship roles. These measures are only to be applied and implemented in a credible manner if the Executive 
Board does not consist solely of male members (‘proof of concept’).

A variety of professional and educational backgrounds is necessary on the one hand to properly address the 
tasks and obligations of the law, the company’s articles of association and its terms of reference. In addition, 
it is the view of the Supervisory Board that they are a guarantee of ensuring diverse perspectives on the 
challenges  and  associated  approaches  to  overcoming  them  that  are  faced  in  the  day-to-day  work  of  the 
company. International management experience is of particular importance. Without such skill and experi-
ence with integrating, leading and motivating global teams, it is impossible to take into consideration the 
different cultural backgrounds of managerial staff and the workforce as a whole.

L O N G -T E R M   S U C C E S S I O N   P L A N N I N G   F O R   T H E   E X E C U T I V E   B O A R D
A key aspect of applying the diversity concept to the composition of the Executive Board is inclusion of the 
Supervisory  Board  within  the  corporate  organisation,  as  is  prescribed  by  law,  the  company’s  articles  of 
association  and  its  terms  of  reference.  This  ensures  the  Supervisory  Board  is  familiar  with  the  strategic, 
economic and actual situation of the company.

In its role as overseer of the management of the Executive Board, the Supervisory Board of TUI AG makes 
decisions on the allocation of business responsibilities within the Executive Board, appointments to the 
Executive Board and thus also workforce and succession planning within the Executive Board in line with 
recommendation B.2 of the GCGC. As part of that workforce and succession planning, the Presiding Committee 
or the Supervisory Board itself regularly meets with the Executive Board or its members to discuss suitable 
internal  succession  candidates  for  Executive  Board  positions  (short-term,  medium-term  and  long-term 
scenarios). The contract terms and renewal options for current Executive Board members are discussed, as 
well as possible successors. As part of these Supervisory Board and Committee meetings, or in preparation 
for them, members of the Supervisory Board have the opportunity to meet up with so-called high potentials 
within the Group in a professional and personal setting. The Presiding Committee and Supervisory Board 
make their own deliberations about these matters and also discuss them in the absence of the Executive 
Board. This includes evaluation and possible inclusion of external candidates for Executive Board positions

in the selection process. In all of these deliberations, the above-mentioned diversity aspects of Executive 
Board  appointments  play  a  part  in  the  decision-making  of  the  Supervisory  Board.  Long-term  succession 
planning is primarily oriented towards the corporate strategy and takes into account the diversity concept 
defined by the Supervisory Board. The Supervisory Board also asks the Executive Board to report on 
current progress and implementation of family-friendly concepts and concrete measures for promotion of 
women (e. g. at least one woman on the final shortlist for any new or replacement appointments to roles 
within the senior leadership team).

With  effect  from  1  October  2022,  Mr  Sebastian  Ebel  was  appointed  to  succeed  Mr  Friedrich  Joussen  as 
Chairman of the Executive Board of TUI AG. In this connection, Mr Mathias Kiep was appointed as a member 
of the Executive Board as successor to Mr Ebel with effect from 1 October 2022. Mr Kiep will take over the 
Finance Ressort. In addition, the appointment of Mr David Burling was extended until 30 May 2026 by a 
corresponding resolution of the Supervisory Board. In the opinion of the Supervisory Board, Mr Ebel,  
Mr Kiep and Mr Burling contribute to the diversity of the Executive Board through their professional careers, 
their wide-ranging international experience and respective professional backgrounds.

The current composition of the Executive Board meets all the requirements of the diversity concept. The 
Executive Board members cover a comprehensive range of knowledge and experience as well as educational 
and  professional  backgrounds  and  have  international  experience.  In  addition,  with  Ms  Sybille  Reiss  as  a 
member of the Executive Board, the target set by the Supervisory Board that at least one woman should be 
a member of the Executive Board was met in the reporting period. Different age groups are represented on 
the Executive Board. More information on all members of the Executive Board can be found in the CVs on 
the  Company's  website  and  in  the  communication  on  the  occasion  of  the  appointment  decisions  of  the 
Super visory Board.

The goals set with regard to the composition of the Supervisory Board reflect the demands placed on the 
advisory and supervisory body to perform its task in a globally operating company with a challenging 
competitive  environment.  For  example,  multicultural  and  international  experience  is  just  as  important  as 
knowledge of the value and success drivers of the sector. In all of this, the impact and cultural features of 
the so-called stakeholder approach of a social market economy must be taken into account, which is ensured 
by the codetermination of employee representatives on the Supervisory Board as well. For the shareholder 
side on the Supervisory Board, the Nomination Committee also ensures that mandatory and voluntary tar-
gets are met with regard to the composition of the Supervisory Board. As part of the regularly conducted 
efficiency reviews, the Supervisory Board also undergoes a self-assessment, which includes aspects of its 
composition.

The Supervisory Board is of the opinion that it meets the composition targets and fills out the competence 
profile and the diversity concept. The status of implementation of the competence profile and composition 
targets has been published in the form of a qualification matrix. The competence profile of TUI AG's Super-
visory  Board  is  published  at  https://www.tuigroup.com/en-en/investors/corporate-governance/management. 
The qualification matrix can be found at page 117. 

In place of Mr Mordashov and Mr Lukin and at the proposal of TUI AG's Supervisory Board, Mr Christian 
Baier and Ms Helena Murano were appointed to the Supervisory Board by court in May 2022 until the end 
of the Annual General Meeting in 2023. As already stated above, both members are qualified as independent 
from the Company and its Executive Board. The Supervisory Board has gained another experienced financial 
expert in the person of Mr Baier. Ms Murano enriches the board with her extensive and international experi-
ence in the field of tourism. 

The reappointments of Mr Ebel and Mr Burling with simultaneous cancellation of their current appointments 
took place before the end of one year prior to the end of the respective appointment terms. According to 
recommendation B.4 of the GCGC, this is permitted if special circumstances apply. This requirement was met 
because, in view of the challenging economic times, TUI AG had a particular interest in securing the services 
of Mr Ebel and Mr Burling as members of the Executive Board in the long term.

In addition, Ms Sonja Austermühle has been appointed by the court in April 2022 as the new trade union 
representative on the Supervisory Board in place of Ms Carola Schwirn. Ms Austermühle complements the 
Supervisory Board with her many years of professional experience as a lawyer and trade unionist in the 
ver.di – United Services Trade Union.

The Supervisory Board revised and updated objectives for its composition in addition to the competence 
profile  in  the  2022  financial  year.  In  accordance  with  the  applicable  legal  requirements,  the  Supervisory 
Board of TUI AG shall be composed in such a way that its members as a whole have the knowledge and 
professional experience required to properly perform their duties. In this context, sufficient diversity shall be 
ensured. This includes in particular cultural and ethnic origin, gender, nationality and professional and life 
experience as well as age. A gender quota of 30 % is to be guaranteed. The standard age limit for election to 
the Supervisory Board is 68 years.

The diversity of professional and educational backgrounds of the individual members of the board is also 
evident from the CVs of Supervisory Board members published on the corporate website.

Description of the main features of the internal control system *

The TUI Group's internal control system comprises all systematically designed rules within the Group that 
serve  to  methodically  manage  operational,  financial  and  compliance-related  risks.  These  rules  can  result 
from  published  statements  or  be  designed  as  guidelines,  work  instructions,  process  descriptions  or  risk

control matrices. A Group-wide framework is in place for the creation, approval, revision and communication 
of these rules. With its Integrity Passport, the TUI Group has also adopted a Group-wide Code of Conduct 
that sets minimum standards and provides guidance on how to deal with ethical and legal challenges in day-
to-day work, as well as providing orientation in conflict situations.

out by the second line, from internal audit engagements, and from the audit activities of the external auditor. 
In addition, potential for improvement may also arise from compliance incidents. In our overall assessment 
of these management systems, we find that none of the improvements potentials identified in the reporting 
year speak against the appropriateness and effectiveness of the two management systems. 

Where  necessary  for  the  criticality  of  the  process  in  question,  the  business  units  define  an  appropriate 
framework of processes and rules on this basis. These rules may vary from business unit to business unit 
due to different systems, process flows or volumes of transactions processed in the respective process. For 
certain risks, which TUI addresses with a uniform Group framework, central functions have been set up to 
create appropriate Group-wide standards for their area in the sense of a ‘second line’ and to support or 
monitor their implementation.

A Group function has also been established for the area of sustainability. For years, the TUI Group has been 
collecting certain sustainability-related indicators for management and reporting in the context of separate 
sustainability  reports  or  the  non-financial  statement.  The  methodologies  for  these  indicators  have  been 
published. These ensure uniform understanding and collection throughout the Group.

To  ensure  that  our  businesses  are  scalable,  almost  all  business  processes  are  supported  by  IT  solutions. 
Where possible and appropriate, we use the controls integrated in these applications or services. This offers 
greater security and efficiency in implementation compared with manual controls. The IT solutions them-
selves are protected by a Group-wide framework of general IT controls. A set of manual process controls to 
prevent or detect errors rounds off the internal control system.

The company has a clear approach for identifying and mitigating information security risks. TUI is externally 
audited, has an information security risk insurance policy and a training and compliance program. Additionally, 
the Audit Committee is updated on TUI’s risk position on a regular basis.

In the case of business processes, the respective process owners are responsible for the effectiveness of the 
controls put in place; in the case of Group-wide control frameworks, the respective 2nd line is responsible. 
Depending on the risk assessment, they use a different degree of monitoring intensity.

As an independent 3rd line, Internal Audit reviews business processes, including IT solutions, according to its 
own risk assessment and makes recommendations to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of processes 
and controls. 

The Supervisory Board of TUI AG, in particular the Audit Committee, is involved in the TUI Group's internal 
monitoring system with process-independent auditing activities.

The internal control system and the risk management system are dynamic systems that are continuously 
adapted in response to changes in the business model, the nature and scope of business transactions or 
responsibilities. As a result, there is potential for improvement in terms of both the appropriateness (lack of 
suitable controls) and the effectiveness (inadequate execution) of controls, both from the reviews carried 

Disclosure pursuant to UK Listing Rule LR 9.8.6

Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD)

For TUI Group, sustainability covering all three areas of economic, environmental and social sustainability is 
a fundamental management principle and a cornerstone of our strategy for continually enhancing the value 
of our company. We firmly believe that sustainable development is critical to long-term economic success. 
Together with our many partners around the world, we are actively  committed  to  promoting sustainable 
development in the tourism industry.

As a company listed in the Premium Segment of the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange, TUI is 
required pursuant to Listing Rule LR 9.8.6 to make disclosures in relation to the recommendations of the 
Financial Stability Board’s Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), based on the guide-
lines 2017. The TCFD provides a framework to improve the disclosure of consistent, comparable, reliable, and 
clear climate-related financial information so that investors can make better capital allocation decisions in 
support of the transition to a low-carbon economy. While TUI has put an emphasis on the topic of climate in 
general, we are early in this journey with regard to the specific recommendations of TCFD due to the consid-
erable challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic that our organisation had to handle, and therefore not 
yet fully compliant with all requirements. TUI has included in its annual financial report climate-related financial 
disclosures  consistent  with  the  TCFD  Recommendations  and  Recommended  Disclosures  apart  from  the 
following where we do not yet perceive full compliance with the recommendations. 

•  TUI has not conducted a climate-related scenario analysis for all risks to describe the resilience of the 
strategy; TUI plans to conduct a detailed scenario analysis in the following year (TCFD Recommendation: 
Strategy c.)

•  TUI identifies, assesses and manages climate-related risks as a component of our principal risks where 
applicable, but has not yet established a comprehensive group-wide approach on an individual risk basis 
and therefore not identified, assessed and managed climate-related risks for each individual case. In a 
group-wide  approach,  TUI  plans  to  embed  identification,  assessment  and  management  of  material 
individual climate-related risks more strongly into existing risk management processes in the following 
year (TCFD Recommendations: Strategy a. and b.; Risk Management a., b. and c.) 

•  TUI  has  not  yet  published  any  detailled  climate-related  targets  for  short-term  periods  apart  from  the 
target to achieve net zero emissions in its own operations and in the supply chain by 2050 at the latest, 
as these have not been signed-off on by SBTi; the targets will be published following SBTi’s sign-off in 
2023 and included in TUI’s TCFD report for the next financial year (TCFD Recommendation: Metrics and 
Targets c.)

The following statement follows the structure of the TCFD recommendation, covering Governance, Strategy, 
Risk Management and Metrics and Targets. Our disclosures on these four building blocks will continue to 
evolve and mature over time alongside our strategy on how to mitigate climate risks and the evolvement of 
these risks and opportunities itself. 

The role of our sustainability team is to drive implementation of the Sustainability Agenda across TUI Group 
and along its supply chain. The GEC is regularly updated on our performance in delivering the Sustainability 
Agenda and tackling other key sustainability issues. Regular meetings are also held with the Risk Oversight 
Committee (ROC) to review climate related and sustainability risks and discuss any changes, either internal 
or to the external environment which affect the business exposure.

Our new Sustainability Agenda builds on tourism as a force for good. Together with our partners we strive 
to  continue  to  positively  contribute  to  local  communities,  reduce  our  environmental  footprint  and  create 
more sustainable holidays. The Agenda is our sustainability strategy and our roadmap to address the key 
industry and global challenges we will face in the coming decades, such as climate change. Commitments 
include achieving net-zero emissions across our operations and supply chain by 2050 at the latest, setting 
near-term science-based emission reduction targets, becoming a circular business, enabling 20 million cus-
tomers a year to make sustainable holiday choices by 2030 and co-creating the sustainable destination of 
the future.

G O V E R N A N C E 
TUI Group has a governance structure in place that ensures that sustainability issues, along with riks and 
opportunities resulting from climate change, are assessed and actioned at all levels.

  See page 79 for the governance structure in the Non-financial declaration.

a)  Board’s oversight of climate-related risks and opportunities

The Group Executive Committee (GEC) has ultimate oversight of climate-related issues and is responsible 
for reviewing the climate related risks and opportunities, strategy, measures and target setting. At the GEC 
level, the Group Chief Sustainability Officer (CSO) is responsible for reporting on sustainability and climate 
related  issues  for  TUI  Group.  The  CSO  informs  the  GEC  on  sustainability  issues  on  a  monthly  basis.  The 
Group Sustainability Director reports into the CSO, so organisationally it is the most appropriate and direct 
line of reporting to raise climate related issues to the highest level within the business. Moreover, the Execu-
tive Board has also the final oversight of the non-financial declaration that includes the climate / environ-
mental strategy, organization, management, measures and targets. The highest monitoring body in the area 
of sustainable management is the Supervisory Board. 

b)  Management’s role in assessing and managing climate-related risks and opportunities

The Group Executive Committee (GEC) manages TUI’s business strategically, it sets the Group’s strategic 
direction and long-term objectives for sustainable development and signed off the Group's Sustainability 
Agenda. A team of experienced sustainability professionals are working in close collaboration with senior 
management to ensure that TUI’s business and sustainability focus areas are well aligned. The Group Sus-
tainability Director heads up the Group Sustainability team. For the coming financial year, it is planned that 
the CSO together with the Group Director of Sustainability will host the Sustainability Business Council due 
to meet annually. Addressing climate-related issues will be one of the agenda points.

To  incentivise  management  to  achieve  climate-related  targets,  KPIs  are  linked  to  monetary  rewards.  TUI 
operates a discretionary bonus scheme for senior and middle management. It is designed to reward employees 
in line with both financial performance and personal contribution to delivering successfully against our strategy. 

S T R AT E G Y 
Climate change is a pressing global challenge that cancause a business risk, whether physical, political, mar-
ket  or  reputational.  On  the  other  hand  the  transition  to  a  low-carbon-emission  future  could  also  create 
business opportunities for our group. 

a)  Climate-related risks and opportunities we have identified over the short, medium, and long term

As a global tourism group TUI operates 134 aircraft, 418 hotels and 16 cruise ships *. Our business model 
inherently leads to a significant emission of greenhouse gases. Within our asset portfolio our airline emissions 
represent roughly 75 per cent of the Group's total Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Therefore, the risks and 
opportunities that we have identified over the short, medium and long term are mainly transition risks and 
to a lesser extent of a physical nature. Based on this analysis our climate change risk profile strongly depends 
on the successful implementation of our carbon reduction initiatives within our airline.

We define short term as within the next three years in line with our financial planning horizon, mid term 
until 2030 where our first carbon reduction milestone is defined, and long term until 2050, the date we are 
striving to achieve net-zero emissions across our operations and supply chain. The following risks and 
opportunities over the short, medium and long term have been identified:

P H Y S I C A L   R I S K S
Extreme  weather  events  such  as  hurricanes,  typhoons  or  flash  floods  have  become  more  likely  in  recent 
years due to climate change. Their consequences can affect TUI Group's ability to do business in regions 
around the world. The unpredictability of these events also increases the challenge to cope with them. The 
effects of such extreme weather events could lead to changes in TUI's mid term operations. The infrastructure 
of affected regions might be impaired more heavily within the coming years. This can result in damage to or 
reduction in quality and / or reputation of some of our key destination and hotels. As a consequence, this 
might have an impact on the attractiveness of the region and consequently on our ability to send guests to 
these regions. TUI has operational contingency / crisis management plans in preparation for such events. 

* As at 30 Sep 2022, including concept hotels in third party properties.

C H R O N I C   P H Y S I C A L   R I S K S
Chronic physical risks are considered by the business in the long term at company level. Information used to 
assess this risk is taken from scientific and industry publications. Quality holiday experiences rely on beau-
tiful,  biodiverse  destinations,  thriving  communities,  stable  weather  systems  and  customer  comfort,  all  of 
which are at risk from the long-term effects of climate change. A specific example is that TUI owns hotels in 
the Maldives which has been identified as destination at risk from sea level rise. Also, due to changing 
precipitation patterns and the change of temperature extremes certain destinations might become less 
attractive for our customers. 

M A R K E T   A N D   R E P U TAT I O N   R I S K
A specific climate change market risk to TUI is for the business not to adapt and meet the changing demand 
for more sustainable and lower carbon holiday products. There is strong evidence to suggest that consumers 
might boycott brands with poor reputations in this area, and favour brands with a good reputation. Inadequate 
carbon management could lead to a reduction of perceived and actual brand value and possible exclusion 
from sustainability indices in the future, thereby lowering TUI Group’s attractiveness for investors, customers 
and other stakeholders. 

We regard the financial impact of the physical risks as low.

P H Y S I C A L   O P P O R T U N I T I E S
Due to changing precipitation patterns and the change of temperature extremes certain destinations might 
become more attractive because the summer seasons extends to the shoulder months as well as destin-
ations that are popular in the winter. In addition, due to the changes of customer behaviour and preferences, 
TUI might have the opportunity to identify new destinations. TUI is therefore presented with the mid-term 
opportunity to extend its selling period for destinations effected by changes in weather conditions. In add-
ition, customers might be attracted by new destinations during these extended periods.

T R A N S I T I O N   R I S K S
Our business model and the assets we operate inherently lead to the emission of greenhouse gases. There-
fore, we believe that transition risks have the greater impact on our business. Hence, the transition to a 
climate-neutral  economy  forms  a  major  part  of  the  principal  risk  ‘lack  of  sustainability  improvements’. 
Climate-related transition risks to TUI could be technology risks, regulatory and legal risks as well as market 
and reputation related risks. 

T E C H N O L O G Y
A main transition risk for  TUI and the entire airline and cruise industry is that the technology for a fully 
carbon-neutral air and sea transport is yet to be developed. Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) play a crucial 
role in reducing emissions in aviation. SAF is also a key part of our 2030 emissions reduction roadmap to 
further improve airline carbon efficiency. TUI is involved with a number of partners to secure the supply of 
SAF. We have considered the impact of SAF in our short-term planning, however its financial impact within 
this time frame is still considered low.

  Further information on our activities on SAF can be found on page 83.

R E G U L AT O R Y   A N D   L E G A L   R I S K S
A regulatory risk the airline and cruising industry might come from increased carbon pricing, fuel taxes and 
energy efficiency standards. Therefore, regulation is a relevant risk to TUI as failure to comply could lead to 
both a financial and negative reputational impact. Moreover, a failure to comply with new regulation could 
lead to a loss of our license to operate our assets.

T R A N S I T I O N   O P P O R T U N I T I E S
We already operate one of Europe’s most carbon-efficient airlines and a modern cruise fleet. As we aim to 
continuously improve our environmental performance, we will build on the progress we have already made 
to reduce emissions. 

  Further information on our activities on lowering emissions across our segments can be found on page 82.

TUI is working with destinations to reduce their climate footprint. With the Rhodes Co-Lab we have piloted 
a  collaboration  and  exchange  with  a  holiday  destination  to  work  towards  a  net-zero  carbon  emission. 
Low-carbon intensive flying and destinations provide the opportunity to retain and win further customer 
groups focusing on environmentally friendly holidays.

b)  Impact of climate related risks and opportunities on our businesses, strategy, and financial planning

As part of our strategic and financial planning process, we have analysed various industry and macro trends 
to model our expected development of TUI Group and the tourism industry as a whole. We clearly see 
sustainability as a major trend, largely driven by climate-related market and policy risks (e. g. changing cus-
tomer behavior, emissions-based taxes / fees). In the past two years, new priorities and strategic directions 
for TUI’s future sustainability activities were drawn up in consultation with internal and external stakeholders, 
taking account of current challenges, global scenarios and regulatory developments such as the EU Green Deal. 
While these priorities were built into our midterm strategic and financial plan, we have not yet developed 
specific climate scenarios for all risks in order to assess the quantitative effects selected risks and opportu-
nities might have on our financial performance. In order to better assess these effects on our business, we 
will start developing quantitative and qualitative climate scenario analysis to further identify and analyse 
potential impacts from climate related risks and opportunities on our business model in financial year 2023. 
This  will  also  allow  us  to  better  understand  the  potential  impact  on  our  business,  strategy  and  financial 
planning; as well as our resilience going forward.

a)   Metrics used by TUI to assess climate related risks and opportunities in line with its strategy and risk 

We will test our strategy against the different climate related scenarios when having completed our qualitative 
climate scenario analysis in 2023.

R I S K   M A N A G E M E N T
a)  TUI’s processes for identifying and assessing climate-related risks

TUI has a systematic process in place to identify, assess and manage risks across the business; managed 
through processes and structures described in more detail in the Risk section on page 34. The processes 
described in the risk section apply to all types of risks assessed throughout the whole company, including 
climate-related risks. Decisions are made to mitigate, transfer, accept or control risks based on a likelihood 
and impact scoring against an established risk appetite. The Principal Risks identified are overseen by the 
ROC and regularly reported to the GEC. Sustainability and Climate Change related risks are included in a 
number of these, mainly in the one titled ‘Lack of Sustainability Improvements’, but also in ‘Reduction in 
customer demand’ and ‘Disruption within our destinations’. 

b)  TUI’s processes for managing climate-related risks

Acute phsysical risks are assessed and managed at both an asset level, e. g. a TUI owned hotel, and a com-
pany level, if for instance a destination is affected that is featured by all of TUI’s key source markets. Chronic 
physical risks stemming from long-term effects of climate change form part of TUI’s principle ‘sustainability’ 
risk which is the responsibility of the Group Sustainability department and is reported to the ROC. Financial 
and reputational risks from failure to adapt to customer demand are assessed at a company level.

c)  How processes for identifying, assessing, and managing climate-related risks are integrated into TUI’s 
overall risk management

Our  systematic  risk  management  process  as  described  above  has  identified  sustainability  risks  including 
climate-related  risks.  This  risk  management  system  is  focusing  on  a  short-  to  mid-term  risk  horizon.  We 
anticipate that the planned climate scenario analysis to be carried out during the following financial year will 
heavily influence the way we manage climate related risks and opportunities going forward and allows for a 
longer time horizon.

  More information on risk management from page 34.

management process

Climate change is a pressing global challenge. There is an urgency to act and for everyone to play a role in 
the transition to a low carbon economy. As a global tourism group, our business model inherently leads to a 
significant emission of greenhouse gases. Emissions from TUI’s airline, cruises and hotel segments represent 
99 % of the Group's emissions. Within our asset portfolio our airline emissions represent roughly 75 per cent 
of the Group's total Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. We are working to reduce the environmental footprint 
of holidays and drive-up environmental standards in our industry. In order to measure and manage climate- 
related risks and in line with our strategic target to achieve net-zero emissions across our operations and 
supply chain by 2050 at the latest, we monitor our absolute CO2 emissions, (specific) fuel consumption and 
specific carbon emissions. Following the larger scale use of SAF, we will further develop our metrics to reflect 
the impact on CO2 emissions.

b)  Targets used by TUI to manage climate-related risks and opportunities and its performance against targets

We have been working for 30 years to reduce our environmental impacts. In this next phase of our sustain-
ability journey, we wanted to be led by science. 

In 2022, TUI joined the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), committing to implement emission reductions 
in line with the latest climate science. SBTi is a global body enabling businesses to set ambitious emissions 
reductions targets in line with the Paris Agreement goals in order to limit the worst effects of climate change. 
The  initiative  is  a  collaboration  between  the  Carbon  Disclosure  Project  (CDP),  the  United  Nations  Global 
Compact, World Resources Institute (WRI) and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). Detailed emission 
reduction roadmaps have been developed for each of these three segments to realise significant reductions 
in emissions. 

Our 2030 emission reduction targets for airlines, cruises and hotels are with SBTi for final approval. The SBTi 
accreditation will confirm that the targets for 2030 set by TUI are in line with the goals of the Paris Climate 
Agreement. We will publish our 2030 emission targets following SBTi’s sign-off in 2023. These will be our 
principle metrics and targets that our emission reduction initiatives will be based on. Additional targets are 
included in the Sustainability Agenda.

c)  Scope 1, Scope 2, and, Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions, and the related risks

In financial year 2022, TUI Group’s total emissions increased by 168.6 % year-on-year in absolute terms as a 
result of the recovery of the business from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, in particular the increase 
from aviation operations.

reduction roadmap for aviation, the following levers are key: continued investment in modern carbon- efficient 
aircraft, efficiency through operational measures as well as investment in sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). 

  Further information on our activities on lowering emissions of our airlines can be found on page 83.

In 2022, relative carbon emissions across our airlines decreased by 18.5 %. This improvement was largely a 
result  of  significantly  improved  load  factors  compared  to 2021,  as  well  as  TUI’s  on-going  re-fleeting  with 
older aircraft being replaced by new, more carbon-efficient aircraft.

Specific carbon emissions are also shown in the form of CO2 equivalents (CO2e). Apart from carbon dioxide 
(CO2), they include the other five greenhouse gases impacting the climate as listed in the Kyoto Protocol: 
methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), hydro-fluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs) and Sulphur 
hexafluoride (SF6).

We continue to focus on lowering emissions across our cruise operations, making progress through investing 
in the latest technology to reduce air emissions, as well as operational efficiencies. Comprehensive emission 
reduction  roadmaps  have  been  developed  along  with  our  2030  targets  submitted  to  SBTi  for  validation, 
covering TUI Cruises, Hapag-Lloyd Cruises and Marella Cruises. Key levers include continued investment in 
fleet modernisation and efficiency measures, with a focus on shore power, route optimisation, energy efficiency 
boost and propulsion / alternative fuel switch. 

Our hotels have seen significant improvements in performance regarding emissions. This is a result of con-
tinued efforts to improve environmental performance, along with higher customer numbers and occupancy 
levels returning since the pandemic.

Anti-corruption and bribery

In implementing our business activities, compliance with many national and international laws and rules as 
well as internal policies is essential. However, our understanding of Compliance goes beyond respecting laws 
and regulations, as we shift our Company’s culture away from a purely rule-based approach towards a living 
culture of integrity. Behaviour violating integrity principles may not only have legal consequences, but can 
also result in lasting damage to TUI’s reputation. TUI’s Compliance Management System aims to promote 
integrity and prevent potential misconduct, to make liability risks manageable for TUI and its employees and 
in this way to protect the Company’s reputation. It is a fundamental component in our commitment to 
corporate, environmental and social responsibility in our actions.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL 

STATEMENTS AND NOTES

In the completed financial year, Integrity & Compliance resumed standard operation, focusing on the core 
areas of communications, training programmes and sanctions.

To mark the third anniversary of the Integrity Passport – TUI’s Code of Conduct – a communication cam-
paign was rolled out across the Group. The goal of this campaign was to kindle interest and focus employees’ 
attention on compliance. Apart from articles on the intranet and screen savers, the campaign included a quiz 
to raise our employees’ awareness of compliance topics in a playful manner. For Policy Management, an 
interview was recorded and published on the intranet in order to familiarise our employees with the key 
principles.  Online  Integrity  Passport  training  sessions  and  the  Fair  Competition  training  (for  selected 
employees) were carried out and in-person training programmes for the induction of new employees were 
resumed. 

Due to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, our work focused on business partner screening and advice 
about trade sanctions. To that end, a Trade Sanctions Task Force was set up in order to evaluate potentially 
relevant facts and circumstances, develop and implement appropriate risk-minimising measures, and discuss 
the general way forward. In order to raise employees’ awareness of the topic, communication measures were 
rolled out across the Group and statements were formulated to be passed forward to external third parties 
setting out TUI AG’s situation under sanction law. Moreover, the individual business areas were called upon 
to report business partners related to Russia / Belarus to Integrity & Compliance according to a decision-making 
matrix communicated across the Group. These business partners were subsequently subjected to sanction 
law-related checks. After evaluation of the findings, any business relationships and contracts affected by 
sanctions were suspended or terminated. In order to ensure a reliable assessment of the situation, an external 
service provider was additionally commissioned with preparing more in-depth reports in individual cases. 
The  Compliance  Officers  of  the  relevant  segments / regions  advised  the  management  and  employees  on 
questions relating to the sanctions.

In risk analysis, the focus in the completed financial year was likewise on Russian sanctions. The business 
partner screenings helped to derive, analyse and assess the risk situation for individual regions / segments. 
Information sources also included regular exchange in the Risk Oversight Committee (ROC) and the results 

12 9

of the risk analyses that had been performed locally in cooperation with Risk Champions and the Compliance 
Officers in charge and discussed with local management. The risk assessment was additionally based on the 
findings obtained from processing reports received and from the survey implemented to identify conflicts of 
interest and the associated self-assessment on compliance issues.

The Integrity & Compliance team is in charge of the core areas anti-corruption, fair competition and trade 
sanctions. Our Compliance Management System defines pilot and standard operation and the documentation 
of roles, responsibilities and processes in these areas.

The Compliance Management System applies to TUI AG and all companies majority-owned, directly or indir-
ectly, by TUI AG, whether domestic or foreign, and of any other shareholdings, where management control 
directly  or  indirectly  lies  with  TUI  AG  (‘Managed  Group  Companies’).  Implementation  of  the  Compliance 
Management System is recommended for companies where management control does not lie with TUI AG 
(‘Non-Managed Group Companies’).

I N T E G R I T Y   PA S S P O R T   –   T U I ’ S   C O D E   O F   C O N D U C T 
Our Integrity Passport is binding for all employees, from Executive Board members to trainees, and for all 
managed Group companies. The Integrity Passport serves as the guiding principle for our Executive Board, 
managements, executives and employees alike. It provides orientation in key areas of people’s day-to-day 
work  and  in  conflict  situations:  fair  competition,  anti-bribery  and  anti-corruption,  appropriate  gifts  and 
hospitality, protection of our business secrets, data privacy, handling conflicts of interest, prevention of 
insider trading, maintaining proper accounts and financial records, anti-money laundering, trade restrictions, 
respectful dealings with each other, sustainability, and public communications about TUI and how to raise a 
concern.

I N T E G R I T Y   &   C O M P L I A N C E   S T R U C T U R E
The  Chief  Compliance  Officer  is  responsible  for  drawing  up,  maintaining  and  developing  our  Compliance 
Management System. She is supported by our centralized Integrity & Compliance department, forming part 
of Legal. All Compliance Officers are in close contact with local management, who remains generally responsible 
of observing all the Compliance rules, and together they are responsible for implementing our Compliance 
requirements and Integrity values, above all:

•  Raising awareness of Integrity & Compliance and the associated core issues through communication 

campaigns 

•  Performing risk analysis relating to the core Compliance issues and self-assessments or Pulse Checks 
•  Implementing measures to ensure that we comply with our commitment to integrity in line with the Integrity 

Passport 

•  Providing training on the Integrity Passport and Fair Competition
•  Advising employees, primarily with regard to trade sanctions, anti-corruption & anti-bribery and fair 

competition

•  Securing the necessary exchange of information between local management and the Integrity & Com-

pliance team 

•  Monitoring new national and international legislation 
•  Providing regular reports to the Group Executive Committee and to the Audit Committee of the Super-

visory Board 

I N T E G R I T Y   &   C O M P L I A N C E   C U LT U R E 
The Integrity & Compliance culture influences people’s behaviour and their views about complying with the 
applicable rules. It therefore forms the basis for an effective Compliance Management System. Our culture 
reflects our corporate values and the fundamental attitude and conduct of management all the way up to 
the Executive Board and Supervisory Board of TUI AG, thus the ‘tone from the top’. It is expressed, in 
particular,  in  our  corporate  value  ‘Trusted’,  appealing  to  our  employees’  personal  responsibility  and  their 
honesty and sincerity in handling guests, stakeholders and fellow employees.

S U P P L I E R S ’   C O D E   O F   C O N D U C T
The Integrity Passport is complemented by the Suppliers’ Code of Conduct, which details TUI’s ethical, social 
and legal expectations of its business partners. Moreover, all business partners are required by contract to 
observe all national and international anti-corruption laws applicable to the supplier relationship. The Sup-
pliers’ Code of Conduct has been revised to reflect the Supply Chain Due Diligence Act which will enter into 
force next year. The Suppliers’ Code of Conduct already comprises comprehensive obligations for business 
partners  to  avoid  violations  in  the  fields  of  human  rights  and  environmental  protection.  Additional  legal 
obligations that must be observed both in our own business operations and in the supply chain have been 
incorporated or set out in more detail. This places our business relationships with our business partners on 
a solid basis. 

M A N A G E M E N T   O F   I N T E G R I T Y   &   C O M P L I A N C E   P O L I C I E S
The  principles  anchored  in  the  Integrity  Passport  are  communicated  to  and  implemented  in  TUI  Group 
through our policies, statements and manuals. Our Group-wide policy management develops the standards 
for Group-wide policies and coordinates the involvement of relevant internal stakeholder groups, e. g. other 
departments and the works council. This approach is designed to provide employees with a set of policies 
which are as comprehensible as possible. TUI Group’s Compliance policies offer guidance on a range of 
issues, including how to react to gifts and hospitalities, fair competition and compliance with trade sanctions. 
In order to re-sensitive employees for this topic, the Communications team conducted an interview this year 
with the Policy Management officer outlining the principles of policy management which was published on 
the intranet. 

I N T E G R I T Y   &   C O M P L I A N C E   –   R I S K   A N A LY S I S
Performing a risk analysis is a core element of our Compliance Management System. The Compliance Officers 
in charge compared the existing information from past surveys with information from current data sources 
and  from  individual  communications  with  the  business  owners.  The  responsible  compliance  officers  have 
compared the available information from past surveys with information from current data sources as well as 
from individual communication with the business owners and then qualified the information. Findings from 
the exchange in the Risk Oversight Committee, mandated by the Executive Board with ensuring that busi-
nesses risks within the Group are identified, managed and monitored across the businesses and functions, 
were taken into account. The Integrity & Compliance Director is a standing member of that Committee and 

In the completed financial year, a total of 43 reports (in 2021 29 reports) were received through the SpeakUp 
Line. Apart from the SpeakUp Line, employees also used the opportunity to report infringements directly to 
their  line  managers,  the  Compliance  contact  in  charge  or  the  Compliance  Mailbox,  which  is  also  available 
externally. A further 26 reports (in 2021 21 reports) were received through these channels. They were 
followed up whenever there were any indications suggesting potential infringements of internal policies or 
the law. Out of the 69 reports (in 2021 50 reports) submitted in total, 30 cases (in 2021 16 cases) initially 
presented prima facie indications of a Compliance infringement, leading to further investigations, which in 
8 cases (in 2021 one case) resulted in further measures.

B U S I N E S S   PA R T N E R   S C R E E N I N G   ( D U E   D I L I G E N C E   P R O C E S S E S )
There is a risk of active and passive corruption because we operate in countries with a high corruption index. 
Moreover, the risk of TUI business partners being subject to trade sanctions or similar listings cannot be 
ruled out.

In the completed financial year, business partner screening focused on business partners linked to Russia /  
Belarus due to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Business partners were checked against inter-
national sanctions, terrorist and wanted persons lists via the Internet data base provider. In the event of a 
red flag, further measures were launched, in the severest cases terminating the business relationship. 

D ATA   P R O T E C T I O N
Data protection remains important for the TUI Group. We evaluate the compliance with data protection 
law  permanently  and  report  indicators  to  the  Group  Executive  Committee.  Furthermore,  Risk  Oversight 
Committee will be informed about risk connected with data protection. In addition, we have reported few 
data breaches in accordance with Art. 33 GDPR. However, no fines are imposed so far. Indicators measure 
observance of the legal time limit to respond to data access requests (2022: 99.8 %.; 2020: 99.8 %).

reports on Compliance-related issues. Within the regions / segments, Compliance risks were regularly discussed 
and analysed between the responsible Compliance Officer, the local business and the Risk Champions to 
identify and assess business-specific challenges. Reported infringements of Compliance requirements were 
included in the risk analysis. The Compliance Officers have recorded the findings obtained during the pro-
cessing and minimised the risk by means of measures to be implemented, if necessary. 

Risk analysis and prevention also includes the annual survey among legal representatives, executives and 
selected employees of TUI Group to identify potential conflicts of interest, including a self-assessment on 
Compliance-related facts and circumstances. A conflict of interests exists if the business judgment of an 
employee conflicts with his or her own interests. 

As part of the digitalisation strategy, the interface between the personnel management system TUI People 
and the Compliance platform was developed further so that the data exchanged between the systems could 
be processed faster and more efficiently. The survey started in the completed financial year.

I N T E G R I T Y   &   C O M P L I A N C E   T R A I N I N G
Training is a key element of TUI’s Compliance Management System, with its focus on preventing misconduct, 
and a crucial component of TUI Group’s Integrity & Compliance culture. It is carried out according to a graded 
concept: managers and staff at TUI have all benefited from face-to-face teaching and online programmes. 
The online training programme on the Integrity Passport, which explains integrity and the underlying corpor-
ate values, is mandatory for all employees and executives. The online training on Fair Competition was rolled 
out in individual companies and segments within  TUI, and training schemes with their own specific focus 
were offered, e. g. on anti-corruption, competition law or the appropriate handling of gifts and hospitalities, 
to raise awareness of the risk-related challenges employees might face.

W H I S T L E B L O W E R   S Y S T E M :   S P E A K U P   L I N E
TUI offers its managers and employees a Group-wide whistleblower system to enable infringements of laws 
or the policies anchored in TUI’s Integrity Passport to be reported anonymously and without reprisals. This 
whistleblowing system is currently available to staff in 53 countries. All reports are consistently followed up 
in the interests of all stakeholders and the Company. Our top priority is to ensure confidentiality and handle 
information discreetly. Any incident resulting from the use of the whistleblower system is reviewed and 
followed up by the Integrity & Compliance team, in some cases in conjunction with Group Audit Fraud.

The whistleblower system is being adjusted to ensure that it meets the requirements of the Supply Chain 
Due Diligence Act and the EU Whistleblowing Directive. This includes, in particular, opening up the system 
for third parties outside TUI Group.

Remuneration Report

The Remuneration Report mainly explains the remuneration of the members of TUI AG's Executive Board 
and the remuneration of the members of the Supervisory Board in accordance with the Articles of Association. 
The  underlying  remuneration  systems  are  based  in  particular  on  the  recommendations  of  the  German 
Corporate Governance Code (GCGC), the requirements of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz – 
AktG) and, where possible, the recommendations of the UK Corporate Governance Code (UK CGC). In addition, 
the Remuneration Report includes the disclosures required by Section 162 of the German Stock Corporation 
Act (AktG) as amended by the Act implementing the Second Shareholders' Rights Directive (SRD II). TUI AG 
thus also implements the requirements on the Remuneration Report resulting from the second framework 
agreement  on  the  granting  of  stabilisation  measures,  which  it  concluded  with  the  Economic  Stabilisation 
Fund on 4 January 2021 (Framework Agreement II).

As a German stock corporation, TUI AG is also listed on the London Stock Exchange (LSE). Where mandatory 
rules on the governance structure and legal requirements of a German stock corporation are affected, these 
are presented accordingly in this report and, where appropriate, placed in the context of the UK CGC.

Executive Board and Executive Board Remuneration

C O N F I R M AT I O N   O F   T H E   R E M U N E R AT I O N   S Y S T E M   B Y   T H E   S H A R E H O L D E R S
Following preparatory work in financial year 2019, the Supervisory Board of TUI AG adopted a revised remu-
neration system for the members of the Executive Board in December 2019 with retroactive effect from the 
beginning of financial year 2020, i. e.  1 October 2019. The revision of the remuneration system included 
different performance targets for the short-term variable remuneration (STI). Furthermore, the Total Share-
holder Return (TSR) performance target was removed from the calculation of the long-term variable remu-
neration (LTIP). In addition, the revised remuneration system now includes compliance malus and clawback 
rules, thus taking into account the requirements of UK-based stakeholders and the recommendations of the 
GCGC in particular. The remuneration system in its revised form was approved by TUI AG shareholders at the 
Annual General Meeting on 11 February 2020, also with retrospective effect from the beginning of financial 
year 2020. In addition to the statutory requirements, the revision of the remuneration system took into 
account the recommendations of the GCGC as amended on 7 February 2017 and the draft of the new version 
of the GCGC as of 16 December 2019. In addition, the recommendations of the UK CGC and a different 
market practice in the United Kingdom were also taken into account in the revision. Against the background 
of changes in market practice and further developments in the structure of Executive Board remuneration 
since  the  last  fundamental  revision  of  the  remuneration  system,  the  remuneration  system  for  TUI  AG's 
Executive Board was revised to include and take account of the aforementioned perspectives and approved 
by TUI AG's shareholders: The defined performance indicators are designed to take account of the interests 
of all stakeholders and create value for our equity and debt providers. In revising the Executive Board remu-
neration system, the Supervisory Board was supported by renowned, independent external remuneration 
consultants PricewaterhouseCoopers GmbH Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft (PwC).

According to the German Stock Corporation Act in the version of SRD II, the Supervisory Board must in 
future  submit  the  remuneration  system  for  approval  whenever  there  is  a  significant  change,  but  at  least 
every four years. The Supervisory Board had to make such a submission for the first time at the first 
ordinary Annual General Meeting following 31 December 2020. TUI AG's previous voluntary procedure in line 
with  the  UK  CGC  already  largely  complied  with  these  new  requirements.  In  the  context  of  the  resolution 
adopted on 25 March 2021, the Annual General Meeting approved and thus adopted the remuneration 
system for the members of the Executive Board by 95.8 %. Pursuant to the German Stock Corporation Act 
in the version of SRD II, the Executive Board and Supervisory Board must also prepare an annual Remuner-
ation Report, which must comply with certain requirements (Section 162 AktG). The auditor has to check 
whether the Remuneration Report pursuant to Section 162 AktG contains all legally required information 
and, in addition, to issue an audit opinion. Pursuant to Section 120a (4) AktG, the audited Remuneration 
Report must be submitted to the Annual General Meeting for a decision on its approval. Under the applicable 
transitional law, the new provisions of the AktG on the Remuneration Report had to be applied for the first 
time for the first financial year beginning after 31 December 2020. Accordingly, the Remuneration Report for 
financial year 2022 would in principle have had to be submitted to the Annual General Meeting of TUI AG for 
approval for the first time in 2023. However, the Executive Board and Supervisory Board of TUI AG have 
made use of the option to voluntarily apply the new provisions of the German Stock Corporation Act on the 
Remuneration Report earlier. They thus also comply with a contractual obligation TUI AG has assumed 
vis-à-vis the Economic Stabilisation Fund in the framework of the granting of stabilisation measures in 
accordance  with  the  Economic  Stabilisation  Fund  Act.  The  Remuneration  Report  prepared  and  audited 
within the meaning of Section 162 AktG for financial year ended 30 September 2021 was approved by the 
shareholders of TUI AG on 08 February 2022 with 98.72 %. The decision of the Annual General Meeting on 
the approval of the Remuneration Report is of recommendatory nature.

The  remuneration  system  and  the  service  contracts  of  the  members  of  the  Executive  Board  stipulate  in 
particular,

•  how the target total remuneration is determined for the individual members of the Executive Board and 

what amount the total remuneration may not exceed (maximum remuneration),

•  the relative share of fixed remuneration on the one hand and short-term variable and long-term variable 

remuneration components on the other hand in the target total remuneration,

•  which financial and non-financial performance criteria are decisive for the granting of variable remuneration 

components,

•  what the relationship is between the achievement of the previously agreed performance criteria and the 

variable remuneration,

•  in which form and when the member of the Executive Board can dispose of the variable remuneration 

amounts.

The remuneration system adopted by the Supervisory Board at the end of 2019 and approved by the 2020 
and 2021 Annual General Meetings also contains a compliance malus and clawback provision. Accordingly, in

ponding variable remuneration components, the Company may reduce or cancel the payment amounts in 
full or demand their return in full or in part after payment. The Supervisory Board shall decide on this in 
each individual case at its due discretion and shall take into account in its decision in particular the severity 
of the violation as well as the amount of the financial or reputational damage caused thereby.

(1) Fixed remuneration

TA R G E T 

Fixed remuneration paid in twelve equal monthly instalments in arrears at the end of a month, taking into 
account the applicable tax and social security regulations. 

Together with the other remuneration components, the fixed remuneration forms the basis for attracting  
and retaining the highly qualified members required for the development and implementation of the  
corporate strategy for the Executive Board.

TA R G E T

STI is designed to motivate members of the Executive Board to achieve demanding and challenging  
financial, operational and strategic goals during a financial year. The targets reflect the corporate strategy 
and are aimed at increasing the value of the Company. In particular, through the link to EBIT (reported), 
the one-year variable remuneration is linked to the achievement of a key Group performance indicator in 
the respective financial year.

TA R G E T 

For each financial year, the Supervisory Board sets performance criteria for the individual performance of 
the beneficiary, the performance of the entire Executive Board and the achievement of stakeholder goals, 
as well as their weighting in relation to each other. ESG goals are always taken into account here.

0.8 to 1.2

TA R G E T

The Company's value and the value for the shareholders (shareholder value) are to be increased in the 
long term by setting ambitious targets that are closely linked to the Company's earnings, the share price 
development and the dividend. By linking earnings per share and share price performance, congruence is 
established between the interests and expectations of shareholders and the remuneration of the Execu-
tive Board. The performance period of four years helps to ensure that the actions of the Executive Board 
in the current financial year are also aligned with the long-term development of the Company.

The payments to be made to a member of the Executive Board in the event of premature termination of his 
employment contract without good cause are limited in principle in Mr Joussen's service agreement to the 
value of two years' remuneration (severance payment cap).

In the service agreements of Mr Burling, Mr Ebel, Mr Krueger, Ms Reiss and Mr Rosenberger, it is agreed that 
payments in the event of premature termination of their Executive Board activities without good cause may 
not exceed the value of one year's remuneration (severance payment cap).

For all members of the Executive Board, no more than the remaining term of the service agreement is com-
pensated. For the calculation of the severance payment cap, the target direct remuneration (fixed remuner-
ation, target amount of the STI and target amount of the LTIP) of the past financial year and, if applicable, 
also the expected target direct remuneration for the current financial year are taken into account. If the 
service contract is terminated for cause, the members of the Executive Board do not receive any benefits.

141

If the appointment of a member of the Executive Board is revoked, the respective service agreement shall 
also end. If the revocation is not based on a reason which at the same time constitutes an important reason 
for termination of the service agreement without notice, the service agreement shall end upon expiry of a 
period of expiry. This expiry period is generally twelve months. An expiry period of 24 months was agreed 
with Mr Joussen.

In the event of premature termination of the service contract, the STI and the payments from the LTIP are 
regulated as follows:

•  STI:

•  If the service agreement is terminated by the Company before the end of the one-year performance 
period for good cause for which the member of the Executive Board is responsible, or if the member of the 
Executive Board resigns without good cause, the entitlement to an annual bonus for the performance 
period in question shall lapse without replacement or compensation.

•  In all other cases of early termination of the service agreement before the end of the one-year perform-

ance period, the STI shall be paid pro rata temporis.

•  LTIP:

•  Claims  under  the  LTIP  shall  lapse  without  replacement  or  compensation  for  all  tranches  not  yet 
disbursed if the service agreement is terminated by TUI AG before the end of the performance period 
for cause for which the Executive Board member is responsible or by the Executive Board member 
without cause.

•  If the service agreement ends before the end of the performance period for other reasons, the entitle-
ments under the LTIP for tranches not yet paid out are retained. The tranche for the current financial 
year is reduced pro rata temporis. The amount to be paid out is determined in the same way as in the 
case of a continuation of the service agreement.

It was agreed with Mr Joussen and Mr Burling that they may unilaterally resign from their positions as 
members of the Executive Board from 1 June 2022 with three months' notice to 30 September 2022, whereby 
the STI and LTIP would be paid out in accordance with the service agreement and would not lapse. In the 
event of Mr Joussen or Mr Burling exercising this right of resignation, an expiry period of 24 and 9 months 
respectively was agreed for the respective service agreement. On 24 June 2022, Mr Joussen exercised his 
right of resignation from his office as member of the Executive Board of TUI AG ahead of schedule as per 
30 September 2022. During the expiry period of 24 months, TUI AG has agreed to process the service agree-
ment in accordance with the service agreement until the termination date. Mr Burling did not exercise his 
right of resignation. 

TUI AG shall be entitled to release the members of the Executive Board in connection with a termination of 
the service agreement, in particular following a termination of this service agreement, irrespective of the 
party declaring which such termination, or following the conclusion of a termination agreement, in whole or 
in part from the obligation to perform work with continued payment of remuneration. The release shall 
initially be irrevocable for the duration of any outstanding holiday entitlements, which are thereby settled. 
Subsequently, the release shall be maintained until the termination of the service agreement. It is revocable

Principle

On  4  January  2021,  TUI  AG  concluded  a  framework  agreement  with  the  Economic  Stabilisation  Fund 
(Wirtschaftsstabilisierungsfonds – WSF) on the granting of stabilisation measures, which sets out various 
requirements for the remuneration of Executive Board members during the utilisation of stabilisation meas-
ures (Framework Agreement II). According to this agreement, any member of the Executive Board already 
appointed on 31 December 2019 may not receive any remuneration in excess of the basic remuneration of 
this member of the Executive Board as at 31 December 2019 (including any Group remuneration in the event 
of dual employment at another Group Company), as long as at least 75 % of the stabilisation measure has not 
been repaid. The framework agreement also stipulates that, as long as TUI AG makes use of the stabilisation 
measure, it will not grant and thus not constitute any bonuses, other variable or comparable remuneration 
components or special payments in the form of share packages, bonuses or other separate remuneration in 
addition to the fixed salary, other remuneration components and benefits at the discretion of the Company 
or severance payments not required by law to members of the Executive Board ‘including any Group remu-
neration’.

For members of the Executive Board who are appointed as members of the Executive Board at the time the 
stabilisation measure is granted or thereafter, the upper limit shall be the basic remuneration of members 
of the Executive Board with the same level of responsibility as at 31 December 2019.

Procedure

TUI AG has agreed corresponding amendments to the service agreements with all Executive Board members, 
adjusting the benefits generally promised under the remuneration system to the remuneration restrictions 
agreed with the Economic Stabilisation Fund.

With regard to STI's individual performance factor for financial year 2022, the Supervisory Board decided 
before the start of financial year 2022 to defer the individual targets in favour of the overall Executive Board 
targets against the background of the Company-wide transformation process. Thus, the further implemen-
tation of the transformation through the simplification of the system landscape was a key target. Operationally, 
the focus was on expanding the range and variety of products, but also on the automation and analysis of 
processes. 

In addition, the members of the Executive Board have been given ESG targets. These include the development 
of a pilot project to create a sustainable destination and the implementation of strategic targets of a new 
sustainability agenda. Due to remuneration restrictions, the Supervisory Board has refrained from deter-
mining target achievement for EBIT (reported) and cash flow. The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, which 
in the meantime has led to significant restrictions in business operations and to far-reaching disruptions in 
air traffic, as well as the impact of the sustained increase in inflation, have led to the achievement of the two

Due to the corresponding amendment of the service agreements and the waivers of the Executive Board 
members, TUI AG deviates from the remuneration system in place in financial year 2022 with regard to the 
Short Term Incentive (STI) and the Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP). The deviation is in the interest of TUI AG

performance targets in financial year 2022 being impaired, despite a significant recovery in booking numbers 
compared to the previous year and restrictive cost management. In principle, around 74 % of the  EBIT 
(reported) target for the financial year 2022 and 66 % of the cash flow target would have been achieved. As 
a result of the remuneration restrictions, there is no granted and owed remuneration within the meaning of 
Section 162 para. 1 sentence 1, sentence 2 no. 1 AktG from the STI for financial year 2022.*

decided not to set any new absolute target values for the EPS and no minimum and maximum values for 
determining  the  percentage  target  achievement  for  the  LTIP  tranche  2019 – 2022.  For  the  LTIP  tranche 
2019 – 2022, there is no remuneration granted and owed in December 2022 within the meaning of Section 
162 para. 1 sentence 1, sentence 2 no. 1 AktG.*

In applying the remuneration restrictions, the Supervisory Board accordingly waived the determination of 
the individual performance factor. With the immense amount of work of the Executive Board members once 
again had to deliver due to the extraordinary challenges of financial year 2022, they demonstrated above- 
average commitment and dedication, while remaining focused on the agreed targets. In its discussions, the 
Supervisory Board agreed that the entire Executive Board did an excellent job in financial year 2022 in a 
persistently challenging environment. The balance sheet was further stabilised through very stringent cash 
management, massive cost reductions and the development of extensive sources of financing. The Super-
visory Board expressly acknowledges this extraordinary performance.

Pursuant to Section 162 para. 1 sentence 1, sentence 2 no. 1 AktG, all fixed and variable remuneration com-
ponents ‘granted and owed’ to the individual members of the Executive Board in financial year 2022 must 
be disclosed. The values stated for both the STI and the LTIP for financial year 2022 refer to the remuneration 
components ‘granted and owed’ in the respective financial year pursuant to Section 162 (1) sentence 1 AktG. 
They thus include all benefits earned in the respective financial year. The value of the STI therefore corres-
ponds to the amount for the STI for financial year 2022, which would not be paid out until financial year 2023 
in accordance with the service agreement. The value of the LTIP tranche 2019 – 2022 therefore corresponds 
in value to the amount for the LTIP whose four-year term ended on 30 September 2022, but which would not 
be paid out until the 2023 financial year in accordance with the service agreement.

In the previous year, the term ‘remuneration granted and owed’ within the meaning of Section 162 para. 1 
sentence 1, sentence 2 no. 1 AktG was defined differently. According to this definition, the remuneration 
granted and owed included the benefits actually received in the respective financial year, regardless of financial 
year for which they would have been received by the members of the Executive Board. The value of the STI 
therefore corresponded to the amount for the STI from the 2020 financial year, which would not have been 
paid out until the 2021 financial year in accordance with the service agreements. The value of the 2017 – 2020 
LTIP tranche therefore corresponded in terms of value to the amount for the LTIP whose four-year term 
ended on 30 September 2020, but which would not have been paid out until the 2021 financial year in 
accordance with the service agreements. The change in definition is based on the use of an option resulting 
from a clarification by the Institute of Public Auditors (Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer). The change in definition 
had no effect on the disclosure of the amount of Executive Board remuneration, as no variable remuneration 
components were paid out due to the remuneration restrictions.

*  The definition of the remuneration granted and owed within the meaning of Section 162 para. 1 sentence 1, sentence 2 no. 1 AktG can be 

found in Section III. 3.1.

The LTIP tranche was based on an average TUI AG share price of € 9.87 at the time of allocation. At the end 
of the performance period, TUI AG's average stock price was € 1.509. Due to the degree of target achievement 
of TUI AG's TSR rank compared with the TSR values of the companies in the STOXX Europe 600 Travel & 
Leisure over the performance period, the target achievement for LTIP was 0 %. EPS also failed to reach a 
level of target achievement that would generally lead to a payout. Although the EPS was below the € 0.50 
mark for financial years 2020, 2021 and 2022, at which point the Supervisory Board is to set new absolute 
target values for the EPS as well as minimum and maximum values for determining the percentage target 
achievement in accordance with the relevant remuneration system. As a result, however, the remuneration 
restrictions of Framework Agreement II would not allow a payout. The Supervisory Board has therefore

For financial year 2022, in addition to the maximum amounts for the one-year and multi-year variable remu-
neration, a maximum amount for the remuneration for financial year as a whole (including fringe benefits 
and pension commitment) is provided for in accordance with Section 87a para. 1 sentence 2 no. 1 AktG. This 
maximum  remuneration  is  € 7.5  m  for  the  Chairman  of  the  Executive  Board  and  € 3.5  m  for  an  ordinary 
member of the Executive Board and relates to the remuneration granted for a financial year. If the remuner-
ation for financial year 2022 exceeds the aforementioned maximum limit, the LTIP will be reduced accordingly. 
As the multi-year variable remuneration component is not available until the third year after the end of the 
reporting year due to the four-year performance period, compliance with the maximum remuneration for 
financial year 2022 can only be reported conclusively as part of the Remuneration Report for financial year 2025.

The  following  table  shows  a  comparison  of  the  percentage  change  in  the  remuneration  of  the  Executive 
Board members with the development of TUI AG's earnings and with the average remuneration of employees 
on a full-time equivalent basis as against the previous financial year.* The remuneration of the Executive 
Board members included in the table reflects the benefits earned in the respective financial year. For active 
members of the Executive Board, these values for financial year 2022 correspond to the values stated in the 
table 'Remuneration granted and owed within the meaning of Section 162 (1) sentence 1 AktG'.

As  a  matter  of  principle,  the  development  of  earnings  is  presented  on  the  basis  of  the  development  of 
TUI AG's net profit for the year in accordance with Section 275 (2) no 17 of the German Commercial Code 
(HGB). Since the remuneration of the Executive Board members also depends to a significant extent on the 
development of Group key figures, TUI Group's earnings trend also includes the development of TUI Group's 
underlying EBIT shown in the consolidated financial statements for financial years 2020, 2021 and 2022 and 
TUI Group's underlying EBITA shown in the consolidated financial statements for financial years 2017 to 2019.

The comparison with the development of average employee remuneration is based on the average remuner-
ation of TUI AG's workforce. Since the employee and remuneration structures in the subsidiaries are diverse, 
in particular in the case of employees abroad, it is appropriate to base the comparison of the development 
of average remuneration only on TUI AG's workforce. This comparative group was also used to review the 
appropriateness of the remuneration of the Executive Board members. The remuneration of all employees, 
including executive employees within the meaning of Section 5 (3) German Works Council Constitution Act 
(Betriebsverfassungsgesetz – BetrVG), was taken into account. Where employees also received remuneration 
as members of TUI AG's Supervisory Board, this remuneration was not taken into account. In order to ensure 
comparability, the remuneration of part-time employees was extrapolated to full-time equivalents.

*  Pursuant to Section 26j, (2), sentence 2 of the Introductory Act to the Stock Corporation Act (EGAktG), a comparison of the average 
remuneration of employees on a full-time equivalent basis over the last five financial years pursuant to Section 162, (1), sentence 2,  
no. 2 of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG) is not yet to be included in the Remuneration Report.

The Supervisory Board conducted the annual review of the Executive Board remuneration and pensions for 
financial year 2022. It came to the conclusion that the amount of the Executive Board remuneration and the 
pensions are appropriate from a legal point of view pursuant to Section 87 (1) of the German Stock Corpor-
ation Act (AktG).

For the assessment of the appropriateness of the Executive Board remuneration and pensions, the Super-
visory  Board  also  regularly  calls  on  external  advice.  This  involves  assessing  the  relationship  between  the 
amount and structure of Executive Board remuneration and the remuneration of senior management and 
the workforce as a whole from an external perspective (vertical comparison). In addition to a status quo 
analysis, the vertical comparison also takes into account the development of remuneration ratios over time. 
Secondly, the remuneration level and structure are assessed on the basis of TUI AG's positioning in a com-
parative  market  (horizontal  comparison).  The  comparative  market  consists  of  a  combination  of  DAX  and 
MDAX companies falling within the scope of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG), belonging to related 
sectors or having comparable core characteristics and being of a similar size. In addition to the fixed remu-
neration, the horizontal comparison also includes the short- and long-term remuneration components as 
well as the amount of the Company pension plan.

132  Remuneration Report

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL 

STATEMENTS AND NOTES

Against the backdrop of the remuneration restrictions and the resulting elimination of the payment of variable 
remuneration components, the Supervisory Board did not commission a corresponding expert opinion on 
the appropriateness of the remuneration level for members of the Executive Board for financial year 2022. 
As in financial years 2019, 2020 and 2021, the remuneration was significantly below that of financial year 
2018, the appropriateness of which was again assessed and confirmed. The amount of the remuneration 
granted and owed, which for financial year 2022 consists only of fringe benefits and pension contributions in 
addition to the fixed remuneration, was largely known to the Annual General Meeting whichh approved the 
remuneration system in financial year 2021 and the 2021 Remuneration Report in financial year 2022.

For former members of the Executive Board and their surviving dependents, total pension payments in financial 
year 2022 amounted to € 6,248.9 k (previous year € 6,074.2 k). Of this amount, € 917.5 k was attributable to 
Michael Frenzel, who left the Executive Board on 31 March 2014, and € 1,003.6 k to Horst Baier, who left the 
Executive Board on 30 September 2018, in financial year 2022. The remaining payments related to former 
members of the Executive Board who left TUI AG's Executive Board more than ten years ago.

Supervisory Board and Supervisory Board Remuneration

C O N F I R M AT I O N   O F   T H E   R E M U N E R AT I O N   S Y S T E M   B Y   T H E   S H A R E H O L D E R S
According  to  the  German  Stock  Corporation  Act  (AktG)  in  the  version  of  the  SRD  II,  the  Annual  General 
Meeting of a listed Company must resolve on the remuneration of the members of the Supervisory Board 
at least every four years. A resolution confirming the existing remuneration is also permissible. The resolution 
must comply with new formal requirements. Such a resolution was passed by the Annual General Meeting 
on 25 March 2021. The remuneration system for the members of the Supervisory Board was approved by 
99.7 % and thus adopted. In addition, the Remuneration Report prepared and audited in accordance with 
Section 162 of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG) for financial year ended 30 September 2021 was 
approved by the shareholders of TUI AG on 08 February 2022 with 98.72 %.

C O M P O S I T I O N   O F   T H E   S U P E R V I S O R Y   B O A R D
In  accordance  with  the  Articles  of  Association,  the  Supervisory  Board  of  TUI  AG  comprises  a  total  of  
20 members. At the Annual General Meeting on 8 February 2022, there were no new or renewed mandates 
to be filled by shareholder representatives. 

At the balance sheet date, pension provisions for former members of the Executive Board and their surviving 
dependants totalled € 62,985.5 k (previous year € 71,766.5 k) measured in accordance with IAS 19 – excluding 
Mr Ebel's entitlements of € 4,210.9 k (previous year € 5,762.4 k) earned in the framework of his service for 
TUI Group before 31 August 2006.

Ms Carola Schwirn resigned from the Supervisory Board at the end of 28 February 2022. By court appoint-
ment on 1 April 2022, Ms Sonja Austermühle was appointed as a member of the Supervisory Board as an 
employee representative. 

TUI AG and Dr Eller agreed on the premature termination of the Executive Board mandate and the Labour 
Director mandate as per 30 June 2021. On the occasion of the termination, TUI AG concluded a termination 
agreement with Dr Eller. The subject matter of the termination agreement included the continuation of the 
employment contract until the end of the regular termination date, i. e. until 14 October 2021. TUI AG has 
agreed to Dr Eller that it would continue to pay her remuneration in accordance with the service agreement 
until the termination date of the service agreement.  TUI AG also continued to make contributions to the 
Company pension scheme until that date. In financial year 2022, Dr Eller was thus entitled to a pro rata fixed 
remuneration of around € 26.4 k. 

On 2 March 2022, Mr Mordashov notified the Company that he was resigning from his mandate as a member 
of TUI AG's Supervisory Board with immediate effect. On 3 March 2022, Mr Vladimir Lukin also notified us 
that he was resigning from his mandate as shareholder representative on TUI AG's Supervisory Board with 
immediate effect. Ms Helena Murano and Mr Christian Baier were appointed as members of TUI AG's Super-
visory Board by court order on 31 May 2022 to fill the vacancies. The applications for court appointment 
were each submitted until the next ordinary Annual General Meeting.

The rules and remuneration of the members of the Supervisory Board are set out in Section 18 of TUI AG's 
Articles of Association, permanently accessible to the public on the internet. Supervisory Board remuneration 
is reviewed at appropriate intervals. It takes account of the expected time commitment for the mandate and 
the practice in companies of a comparable size, industry and complexity.

The aim is to attract and retain highly qualified members of the Supervisory Board. This will promote the 
efficiency of the Supervisory Board's work and the long-term development of TUI AG.

(3) Attendance fees

(4) Maximum remuneration

•  Chairman: € 270.0 k
•  Vice-Chairman: € 180.0 k
•  Member: € 90.0 k
•  In each case plus the value-added tax on the remuneration

In accordance with the provisions of TUI AG's Articles of Association, retired members of the Supervisory 
Board shall receive (pro rata temporis) fixed remuneration from TUI AG for the last time immediately after 
the end of financial year in which they resigned for the duration of their membership of TUI AG's Supervis-
ory Board. After the final payment of the (pro rata temporis) fixed remuneration, retired members of  
the Supervis ory Board shall no longer receive any remuneration from TUI AG for their former Supervisory 
Board activities.

*  The Strategy Committee was dissolved at the end of financial  
year 2022. Accordingly, the committee remuneration for the  
Strategy Committee will not be received for the following years.

•  Supervisory Board: € 1.0 k per meeting
•  Presiding Committee: € 1.0 k per meeting
•  Audit Committee: € 1.0 k per meeting
•  Strategy Committee: € 1.0 k per meeting
•  Nomination Committee: € 1.0 k per meeting
•  Transaction Committees: none

Since the remuneration of the members of the Supervisory Board does not consist of variable but 
exclusively of fixed components, there is no need to determine a maximum total remuneration for the 
members of the Supervisory Board. The provisions of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG) in the 
version of the SRD II expressly provide for the determination of a maximum remuneration only for the 
members of the Executive Board, but not for the members of the Supervisory Board.

O B J E C T I V E 

In addition, the members of the Supervisory Board are included in a pecuniary damage liability insur-
ance policy (so-called D&O insurance) taken out by the Company in the interest of the Company at an 
appropriate amount. The premiums for this are paid by the Company. There is no deductible.

Pursuant to Section 162 (1) sentence 1, sentence 2 no. 1 AktG, all fixed and variable remuneration compon-
ents ‘granted and owed’ to the individual members of the Supervisory Board in financial year 2022 must be 
disclosed. The values stated refer to the remuneration components ‘granted and owed’ in the respective 
financial year pursuant to Section 162 (1) sentence 1 AktG. They thus include all benefits earned in the 
respective  financial  year,  regardless  of  whether  they  were  received  by  the  members  of  the  Supervisory 
Board in the respective financial year. In terms of value, the amounts for financial year 2022 are therefore 
also taken into account, which, according to the Articles of Association, will only be paid out in financial 
year 2023. The remuneration granted and owed to the Supervisory Board includes the fixed remuneration 
earned for financial year 2022, but which, according to the Articles of Association, will only be paid in financial 
year 2023. The attendance fees, on the other hand, are usually paid immediately after the respective meet-
ings, so that the attendance fees for the Supervisory Board meetings in 2022 were also paid in the financial 
year 2022.

In the previous year, the term of remuneration granted and owed within the meaning of Section 162 para. 1 
sentence 1, sentence 2 no. 1 AktG was defined differently. According to this definition, the remuneration 
granted and owed included the benefits actually received in the respective financial year, regardless of financial 
year for which they would have been received by the members of the Supervisory Board. In terms of value, 
the amounts for the 2020 financial year were taken into account, which would not have been paid out until 
the 2021 financial year in accordance with the Articles of Association. The change in definition is based on 
the use of an option resulting from a clarification by the Institute of Public Auditors (Institut der Wirtschafts-
prüfer).

members of the Supervisory Board included in the table reflects the amounts earned in the respective 
financial year. For financial year 2022, these values correspond to the values stated in the table ‘Remuner-
ation granted and owed within the meaning of Section 162 (1) sentence 1 AktG’. Where members of the 
Supervisory Board had previously been members of TUI AG's Executive Board and had received remuner-
ation for this, this would not be included in the comparative presentation. However, this does not apply to 
any member of the Supervisory Board.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL 

STATEMENTS AND NOTES

The development of earnings is generally presented on the basis of the development of TUI AG's profit for 
the year in accordance with Section 275 (2) no 17 of the German Commercial Code (HGB).

The comparison with the development of average employee remuneration is based on the average remuner-
ation of TUI AG's workforce. Since the employee and remuneration structures in the subsidiaries are diverse, 
in particular in the case of employees abroad, it is appropriate to base the comparison of the development 
of  average  remuneration  only  on  the  workforce  of  TUI  AG.  The  remuneration  of  all  employees,  including 
executive staff as defined in Section 5 (3) of the German Works Constitution Act (BetrVG), was taken into 
account.  Employee  remuneration  did  not  include  remuneration  received  by  employees  as  members  of 
TUI AG's Supervisory Board. In order to ensure comparability, the remuneration of part-time employees was 
extrapolated to full-time equivalents.

*  Pursuant to Section 26j, paragraph 2, sentence 2 of the Introductory Act to the Stock Corporation Act (EGAktG), a comparison of the 

average remuneration of employees on a full-time equivalent basis over the last five financial years pursuant to Section 162, paragraph 
1, sentence 2, no. 2 of the Stock Corporation Act (AktG) is not yet to be included in the Remuneration Report.

1   Changes result in particular from the date of entry into the Supervisory Board, committee membership and the respective date of 

resignation.

2   No pay-outs from 28 February 2022 onwards, as Mr Mordashov has been subject to EU sanctions since that date. Actual pay-outs in 
conjunction with the meeting of the Presiding Committee (4 February 2022) and the Supervisory Board (7 February 2022) have been 
made prior to listing on sanctions list on 16 February 2022. A pay-out in conjunction with the meeting of the Strategy Committee 
(21 February 2022) has not been paid out because of EU sanctions.

3  Annual result within the meaning of section 275 (2) no. 17 HGB.
4   Underlying EBIT of the TUI Group for financial years 2022, 2021 and 2020. For financial years 2017 to 2019, underlying EBITA of the 

TUI Group.

5  Due to the achievement of the company's targets, a higher bonus is paid out this year than last year.
6   The comparison for 2021 and 2022 was based on the amended definition of remuneration granted and owed pursuant to Section 162 

(1) no. 2 AktG.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Apart from the work performed by the employee representatives in the framework of their employment 
contracts, the members of the Supervisory Board did not provide any personal services, such as consultancy 
or agency services, for TUI AG or its subsidiaries in financial year 2022 and therefore did not receive any 
additional remuneration based on such services.

TUI Group and its major subsidiaries and shareholdings operate in tourism. 

TUI  AG,  based  in  Karl-Wiechert-Allee  4,  30625  Hanover,  Germany,  is  TUI  Group’s  parent  company  and  a 
listed corporation under German law. The Company is registered in the commercial registers of the district 
courts of Berlin-Charlottenburg (HRB 321) and Hanover (HRB 6580). The shares in the company are traded 
on the London Stock Exchange and the Hanover and Frankfurt Stock Exchanges.

D E C L A R AT I O N   O F   C O M P L I A N C E
Pursuant to Regulation EEC No. 1606 / 2002 of the European Parliament and Council, TUI AG’s consolidated 
financial statements as at 30 September 2022 were prepared in accordance with the International Financial 
Reporting Standards (IFRS) as applicable in the European Union. Moreover, the commercial-law provisions 
listed in section 315e (1) of the German Commercial Code (HGB) were also observed in preparing the 
consolidated financial statements. 

These  consolidated  financial  statements  of  TUI  AG  were  prepared  for  financial  year 2022  comprising  the 
period from 1 October 2021 to 30 September 2022. Where any of TUI’s subsidiaries have different financial 
years,  financial  statements  were  prepared  as  at  30  September  in  order  to  include  these  subsidiaries  in 
TUI AG’s consolidated financial statements.

The accounting and measurement methods and the explanatory information and Notes to these annual 
financial statements for financial year 2022 are generally consistent with those followed in preparing the 
previous consolidated financial statements for financial year 2021, with the exception of the initial application 
of new or amended standards, as outlined below.

The Executive Board and the Supervisory Board have submitted a Declaration of Compliance with the German 
Corporate Governance Code required pursuant to section 161 of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG) and 
made it permanently available to the general public on the Company’s website (https://www.tuigroup.com/en-en).

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in euros. Unless stated otherwise, all amounts are 
indicated in million euros (€ m). Due to the utilisation of rounded amounts there may be minor rounding 
differences in total and percentages.

The  consolidated  financial  statements  were  approved  for  publication  by  TUI  AG’s  Executive  Board  on 
12 December 2022.

Since the beginning of financial year 2022, TUI Group has initially applied the following standards and inter-
pretations, amended or newly issued by the IASB and endorsed by the EU, on a mandatory or voluntary 
basis:

Impact on financial statements

Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, 
IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 
Interest Rate Benchmark Reform (Phase 2)

1 Jan 2021 

The amendments relate to the provision of relief from potential consequences arising from the reform of interbank offered rates (IBORs) such 
as LIBOR on companies’ financial reporting. They address issues that affect financial reporting when an existing interest rate benchmark is ac-
tually replaced by an alternative interest rate benchmark as a result of the interest rate benchmark reform.

Not material. 

  For more information on the impact of the reform of global interest rate benchmarks, please refer to the section ‘Interest rate 

risk’ in Note 41.

TUI Group covers its daily working capital requirements through cash, bank balances and bank loans. As at 
30 September 2022, TUI Group’s net debt (financial debt plus lease liabilities less cash and cash equivalents 
and less short-term interest-bearing investments) totalled € 3,436.2 m (as at 30 September 2021 € 4,954.2 m).

The global travel restrictions to contain COVID-19 have had a continuous negative impact on the Group’s 
earnings and liquidity development since the end of March 2020. To cover the resulting liquidity needs, the 

Group has carried out various financing measures already in financial years 2020 and 2021, which, in addition 
to a capital increase in January 2021, the use of the banking and capital markets and cash inflows from the 
sale of assets, also include financing measures from the Federal Republic of Germany in the form of a KfW 
credit line totalling € 2.85 bn, an option bond from the Economic Stabilisation Fund (WSF) totalling € 150 m 
and two silent participations from the WSF totalling € 1.091 bn. In the IFRS consolidated financial statements, 
the silent participations are – with the exception of € 11.6 m accumulated interest – reported as equity due 
to their nature and are therefore not included in the Group’s net debt. The financing measures are described 
in detail in the financial statements for the past two financial years.

With the entry of the new shares in the commercial register on 28 October 2021 and final settlement with 
the participating banks on 2 November 2021, TUI AG successfully completed another capital increase. The 
gross issue proceeds totalled around € 1.1 bn. The Group’s share capital increased nominally by € 523.5 m to 
€ 1.623 bn. 

On 17 May 2022, TUI AG placed 162.3 m new shares with institutional investors in the framework of a capital 
increase against cash contributions without subscription rights for shareholders by way of an accelerated 
placement, corresponding to around 10 % of TUI AG’s share capital. The gross proceeds of € 425.2 m from 
the capital increase and available cash were used to fully repay the German government’s silent participation II 
(Economic Stabilisation Fund, ‘WSF’) of € 671.0 m in full ahead of schedule on 30 June 2022. Including the 
coupons to be shown as dividends, TUI repaid € 725.4 m to the WSF. As soon as the KfW credit line has been 
fully repaid and terminated, TUI has to pay remuneration to the German state for the coupons saved by the 
early repayment of silent participation II.

•  € 1.64 bn credit line from 20 private banks (incl. € 190 m guarantee line)
•  € 2.1 bn KfW credit line 

As at 30 September 2022,  TUI Group’s revolving credit facilities totalled € 3.74 bn, they have a term until 
summer 2024. 

With regard to the KfW credit lines, it was also agreed that TUI AG would use 50 % of individual cash inflows 
exceeding € 50 m by 20 July 2022, but not exceeding € 700 m, for example from capital measures or disposals of 
assets or companies, to reduce the financing granted to TUI AG to bridge the effects of COVID-19. In accordance 
with this agreement, TUI AG returned the unused credit facility of € 170 m on 1 April 2022. In addition, the 
volume  of  unused  credit  commitments  under  the  KfW  credit  line  as  at  31  March  2022  was  reduced  by 
€ 413.7 m. Finally, 913 of the 1,500 warrant bonds issued to WSF were redeemed. A purchase price of € 91.3 m 
plus accrued interest and early repayment penalties of € 7.2 m was paid for these. By 30 June 2022, the existing 
and at that date undrawn KfW credit lines were reduced by a further € 336 m to € 2.1 bn.

183  Notes to the Consolidated 

Income Statement

For regulatory reasons due to Brexit, the credit line of a British bank (around € 80 m liquid funds and € 25 m 
guarantee line) could not be extended beyond summer 2022. It was therefore repaid or terminated as of 
20 July 2022.

190  Notes to the  

Consolidated Statement  
of Financial Position

After 20 July 2022, 50 % of individual specific cash inflows exceeding € 50 m must be used to reduce the 
financing granted to TUI AG to bridge the effects of COVID-19; there is no maximum limit.

TUI AG’s € 1.64 bn credit line from private banks and KfW credit line are subject to compliance with certain 
financial target values (covenants) for debt coverage and interest coverage, the review of which is carried out 
on the basis of the last four reported quarters at the end of the financial year or the half-year of a financial 
year. Against the backdrop of the ongoing pressures from the COVID-19 pandemic, the review has only been 
resumed in September 2022 and TUI was in full compliance. In addition, higher limits are to be applied on 
the first two cut-off dates before normalised limits have to be complied with from September 2023. 

Currently, TUI Group is only marginally effected by the negative financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Although the number of COVID-19 cases remained high, contact restriction measures and travel restrictions 
were gradually eased in most countries in the first months of the calendar year and business was fully 
resumed in all segments. As of April 2022, the entire fleet of the Cruises Segment was in operation, and as 
of summer 2022, the Hotels & Resorts Segment was able to offer the entire product portfolio. Demand re-
covered very robustly, albeit later than assumed in the previous year’s planning due to the travel restrictions 
in place at the beginning of the financial year. In the Cruises segment, the recovery in demand started later 
than in the other segments. A more short-term booking behaviour continues to be observed. The unprece-
dented restart of business led to flight disruptions, particularly in the UK and the Netherlands, but also in 
other source markets, which impacted the Group’s result. The price increase in the course of the financial 

year, especially for fuel, and changes in exchange rates could not be fully offset by higher travel prices and 
additionally burdened the result in the past financial year.

From the Executive Board’s perspective, despite the existing risks, TUI Group currently has and will continue 
to have sufficient funds, resulting from both borrowings and operating cash flows, to meet its payment 
obligations and to ensure the going concern of the company accordingly in the foreseeable future. In this 
context,  the  Executive  Board  assumes  that  the  credit  lines  expiring  in  summer  2024  will  be  refinanced. 
Therefore, as at 30 September 2022, the Executive Board does not identify any material uncertainty that 
may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. 

In its assessment, the Executive Board assumes that booking behaviour in the 2023 financial year will largely 
correspond to the pre-pandemic level. The Executive Board assumes that travel behaviour will not be affected 
by further long-term closures and lockdowns or by the impact of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine. 

The Executive Board does not consider the remaining risk with regard to a further pandemic / war-related 
change in booking behaviour to be a threat to the company’s existence. Nevertheless, the TUI Group’s perform-
ance might be impaired by the following factors. The intensified general price increase of recent months 
could continue, in particular due to rising energy costs,  and lead to a significant reduction in the private 
budget available for travel services, thus lowering purchasing power and resulting in declining customer demand. 
In addition, a permanent increase in fuel costs as well as other services, especially those we purchase in US 
dollars,  could  lead  to  an  increase  in  our  input  costs.  Further  burdens  could  result  from  continued  or 
 increased flight disruptions. If these risks were to materialise, compliance with the financial covenants as at 
31 March 2023 and 30 September 2023 could be jeopardised. The Executive Board considers the simultan-
eous occurrence of these risks to be very unlikely and therefore assumes that the financial targets (covenants) 
will be met.

In accordance with Regulation 30 of the UK Corporate Governance Code, the Executive Board confirms that, 
in its opinion, it is appropriate to prepare the consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis.

 
 
 
 
 
 
The dates on which associates and joint ventures are included in or removed from the group of companies 
measured at equity are determined in a manner consistent with that applied to subsidiaries. At equity meas-
urement in each case is based on the last annual financial statements available or the interim financial state-
ments as at 30 September if the balance sheet dates differ from TUI AG’s balance sheet date. This affects 33 
companies with a financial year from 1 January to 31 December, three companies with a financial year from 
1 November to 31 October and two companies with a financial year from 1 April to 31 March.

Principles and methods of consolidation

P R I N C I P L E S
The consolidated financial statements include all significant subsidiaries directly or indirectly controlled by 
TUI AG. Control exists where TUI AG has power over the relevant activities, is exposed to variable returns or 
has rights to the returns, and has the ability to affect those variable returns through its power over the 
investee. 

Generally, the control is exercised by means of a direct or indirect majority of voting rights. If TUI Group 
holds less than the majority of voting rights in a shareholding, it may exercise control due to contractual or 
similar agreements, as in the case of the participation in the RIUSA II Group. Due to the contractual agree-
ments between the shareholders and the framework agreements with TUI Group as well as the considerable 
importance of tour operation for the economic success of RIUSA II Group, TUI Group is able to exercise 
a controlling influence on decisions about the most relevant activities and consequently the amount of 
returns. TUI Group is subject to variable returns from RIUSA II Group, in particular due to dividend payments 
and fluctuations in the fair value of the stake itself. RIUSA II Group is therefore consolidated although TUI 
Group only holds a 50 % equity stake.

In assessing control, the existence and effect of potential voting rights are taken into account that are 
currently exercisable when decisions about the direction of relevant activities are made. Consolidation of 
subsidiaries starts from the date TUI gains control. When TUI ceases to control the corresponding com-
panies, they are removed from the group of consolidated companies.

The consolidated financial statements are prepared from the separate or single-entity financial statements 
of TUI AG and its subsidiaries, drawn up on the basis of uniform accounting, measurement and consolidation 
methods and usually audited or reviewed by auditors.

Associates for which TUI Group is able to exert significant influence over the financial and operating policy 
decisions within these companies are accounted for using the equity method. Generally, significant influence 
is assumed if TUI AG directly or indirectly holds voting rights of between 20 to 50 %. 

Stakes in joint ventures are also measured using the equity method. A joint venture is a company managed 
jointly by TUI Group with one or several partners based on a contractual agreement, in which the parties that 
jointly exercise control have rights to the company’s net assets. Joint ventures also include companies in 
which TUI Group holds a majority or minority of voting rights but in which decisions about the relevant 
activities may only be taken on an unanimous basis due to contractual agreements.

On 16 July 2021, a contract was signed with Grupotel dos S. A., a joint venture of TUI Group, to sell Nordotel 
S. A., a fully consolidated entity within the Hotels & Resorts segment. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities 
of the disposal group were classified as ‘held for sale’ in August 2021. The disposal transaction was completed 
on 5 October 2021. The first purchase price payment of € 50.0 m was made on 21 September 2021. Additional 
deferred purchase price payments of € 10.2 m and € 20.4 m were originally due one and two years, respect-
ively, after the closing of the transaction, taking account of final purchase price adjustments. The final purchase 
price adjustment was already performed in September 2022. It resulted in an effect of € – 0.7 m. TUI Group 
also  granted  a  discount  of  € – 2.0 m  for  the  provisional  payment  of  the  two  outstanding  purchase  price 
payments. The payment totalling € 27.9 m was made on 28 September 2022. Including foreign exchange effects, 
the sale of the stake results in a gain of € 19.3 m, carried in Other income.

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the foreign exchange rates 
at the date of the transaction. Any gains and losses resulting from the execution of such transactions and 
the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the foreign exchange 
rate at the date of the transaction are shown in the income statement, with the exception of gains and losses 
to be recognised in equity as qualifying cash flow hedges.

The annual financial statements of companies are prepared in the respective functional currency. The func-
tional currency of a company is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the company 
operates. 

Where subsidiaries prepare their financial statements in functional currencies other than the Euro, being the 
Group’s reporting currency, the assets and liabilities are translated at the rate of exchange applicable at the 
balance sheet date (closing rate). Goodwill allocated to these companies and adjustments of the fair value 
arising on the acquisition of a foreign company are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign company 
and also translated at the rate of exchange applicable at the balance sheet date. The items of the income 
statement and hence the result for the year shown in the income statement are translated at the average 
rate of the month in which the respective transaction takes place.

Differences arising on the translation of the annual financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are reported 
outside profit and loss and separately shown as foreign exchange differences in the consolidated statement 
of changes in equity. When a foreign company or operation is sold, any foreign exchange differences previ-
ously included in equity outside profit and loss are recognised as a gain or loss from disposal in the income 
statement through profit and loss.

Translation differences relating to non-monetary items with changes in their fair values eliminated through 
profit and loss (e. g. equity instruments measured at their fair value through profit and loss) are included in 
the income statement. In contrast, translation differences for non-monetary items with changes in their fair 
values taken to equity (e. g. financial assets at FVTOCI) are included in revenue reserves.

Some TUI Group subsidiaries operate their business in a country that developed into a hyperinflationary 
economy in the period under review (previous year no Group companies in hyperinflationary economies). As 
the  Euro  is  the  functional  currency  for  these  companies,  accounting  in  accordance  with  IAS  29,  Financial 
Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies, is not required.

The translation of the financial statements of foreign companies measured at equity follows the same prin-
ciples for adjusting carrying amounts and translating goodwill as those used for consolidated subsidiaries.

Monetary items receivable from or payable to a foreign operation, the settlement of which is neither planned 
nor likely in the foreseeable future, essentially constitute part of a net investment in this foreign operation. 
Foreign exchange differences from the translation of these monetary items are recognised in other compre-
hensive income. As at 30 September 2022, TUI Group had granted loans of this type in particular to hotel 
companies in North Africa. 

On loss of control of a subsidiary, the gain or loss on derecognition will be calculated as the total of the fair 
value of the consideration plus the fair value of any investment retained in the former subsidiary less the 
share of the book value of the net assets of the subsidiary. Any gains or losses previously recognised in 
other comprehensive income from currency translations or the valuation of financial assets and liabilities will 
be reclassified to the income statement. When a subsidiary is sold, any goodwill allocated to the respective 
subsidiary is taken into account in the calculation of the profit or loss of disposal.

The Group’s share in profits and losses of associates and joint ventures is carried in the income statement 
from the date of acquisition (Share of result from joint ventures and associates), while the Group’s share in 
the total other comprehensive income is shown in its revenue reserves. The accumulated changes arising 
after the acquisition are shown in the carrying amount of the shareholding. When the share in the loss of an 
associated company or joint venture equals or exceeds the Group’s original stake in this company, including 
other  unsecured  receivables,  no  further  losses  are  recognised.  Any  losses  exceeding  that  stake  are  only 
recognised to the extent that obligations have been assumed or payments have been made for the associ-
ated company or joint venture.

C O N S O L I D AT I O N   M E T H O D S
The recognition of the assets and liabilities of acquired businesses is based on the acquisition method. 
Accordingly all identifiable assets, all liabilities and certain contingent liabilities assumed are measured at fair 
value as of the acquisition date. Subsequently, the consideration for the stake is measured at fair value and 
eliminated against the acquiree’s revalued equity attributable to the acquired share. The option to measure 
the non-controlling interests at their fair value (full goodwill method) was not used.

Any excess of acquisition costs over net assets acquired is capitalised as goodwill and recognised as an asset 
in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 3. Any negative goodwill is recognised immediately in profit and 
loss and presented as other income.

Where the accounting and measurement methods applied by associates and joint ventures differ from the 
uniform accounting rules applied in the Group, the differences are adjusted.

Intercompany  receivables  and  payables  or  provisions  are  eliminated,  as  are  intercompany  revenue,  other 
income and the corresponding expenses. Intercompany results from intercompany deliveries and services 
are reversed through profit and loss, taking account of deferred taxes. However, intercompany losses are an 
indicator that an asset may be impaired. Intercompany profits from transactions with companies measured 
at equity are eliminated in relation to the Group’s stake in the companies. Intercompany transactions are 
entered into on an arm’s length basis.

When additional shares are purchased after obtaining control, the difference between the purchase price 
and the carrying amount of the stakes acquired is recognised directly in equity. The effects from sales of 
stakes not entailing a loss of control are also recognised directly in equity. By contrast, when control is ob-
tained or lost, gains or losses are recognised in profit and loss. In the case of business combinations achieved 
in stages (where the acquirer held an equity interest before he obtained control), the equity stake previously 
held in the acquired company is revalued at the fair value applicable at the acquisition date and the resulting 
gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss. For transactions involving a loss of control, the profit or loss does 
not only comprise the difference between the carrying amounts of the disposed stakes and the consideration 
received but also the result from the revaluation of the remaining shares.

Accounting and measurement methods

The consolidated financial statements are prepared according to the historical cost principle, with the exception 
of certain financial instruments such as financial assets and derivatives as well as plan assets from externally 
funded pensions benefit obligations held at fair value at the balance sheet date. 

TUI has to pay compensation to customers for flight delays or cancellations (so-called denied boarding 
compensation). These payments are directly related to the obligation of the flight service. Therefore these 
payments  represent  variable  considerations  under  IFRS  15.  Hence,  denied  boarding  compensations  are 
shown net in revenue.

The financial statements of the consolidated subsidiaries are prepared in accordance with uniform accounting 
and  measurement  principles.  The  amounts  recognised  in  the  consolidated  financial  statements  are  not 
determined  by  tax  regulations  but  solely  by  the  commercial  presentation  of  the  financial  position  and 
performance as set out in the rules of the IASB.

G O O D W I L L   A N D   O T H E R   I N TA N G I B L E   A S S E T S
Acquired intangible assets are carried at cost. Internally generated intangible assets are capitalised at cost 
where an inflow of future economic benefits for the Group is probable and can be reliably measured. The 
cost to produce comprises direct costs and directly allocable overheads. Intangible assets with a finite 
service life are amortised over the expected useful life. 

R E V E N U E   R E C O G N I T I O N
TUI recognises revenue upon transfer of control over distinct goods or services to the customer. In Markets 
and Airlines, TUI predominantly generates revenue from the sale of package holidays. The flights, hotel 
accommodation and other services included in a package holiday are transformed into one product for the 
customer through a significant integration service provided by TUI as tour operator within the meaning of 
IFRS 15, so that the package holiday constitutes one performance obligation for TUI. This revenue is recog-
nised when TUI delivers the service for its customer, i. e. on a linear basis over the duration of the holiday 
tour, as customers consume their holiday on a pro rata basis. TUI generates further revenue from the sale 
of other tourist services, e. g. seat-only, accommodation-only, cruises, etc. Revenue is recognised when or as 
TUI has satisfied its performance obligation, either over time in relation to the duration of the journey if the 
services relate to a period of time, e. g. in the case of multi-day hotel stays, or at a point in time on the day 
of the performance of the performance obligation, e. g. for flight services on the day of the flight. Revenue 
from  long-term  contracts  is  recognised  over  the  duration  of  the  individual  contract  in  accordance  with 
IFRS 15. 

Amendment fees do not constitute an independent performance obligation. Revenue is therefore recognised 
along with the delivery of the main performance obligation. 

If TUI has control over the asset before it is delivered to the customer, TUI acts as the principal in relation to 
that service. Otherwise, TUI acts as an agent. As a principal, TUI carries the recognised revenue and costs in 
the income statement on a gross basis, e. g. for revenue from its own tour operator activities, for hotel 
revenue in own hotels, and for aviation revenue. When acting as an agent, TUI carries the relevant revenue 
on a net basis at the amount of the commission received, e. g. for car rental and hotel revenue for third-party 
hotels in which TUI does not have control over the hotel rooms. Passenger-related aviation taxes and fees 
charged by TUI on behalf of third parties and passed on to these third parties are carried in the income 
statement on a net basis. 

TUI uses the practical expedient offered under IFRS 15.121(a). For open performance obligations as at the 
balance sheet date, TUI discloses all performance obligations for contracts with an original term of more 
than twelve months, i. e. at least twelve months lie between the start of the contract (in principle the booking 
date) and the end of the contract (in principle the end of the service).

Intangible assets acquired as a result of business combinations are included at their fair value as at the date 
of acquisition and are amortised on a straight-line basis.

Due to changes in our strategy and delays in the digital transformation, the useful lives of certain software 
solutions were extended by two to three years. For further information, please refer to the section ‘Other 
intangible assets’.

If there are any events or indications suggesting potential impairment, the amortised carrying amount of the 
intangible asset is compared with the recoverable amount. Any losses in value going beyond wear-and-tear 
depreciation are taken into account through the recognition of impairment charges.

Depending on the functional area of the intangible asset, amortisation and impairment charges are included 
under cost of sales or administrative expenses.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortised but are tested for impairment at least annu-
ally. In addition, impairment tests are conducted if there are any events or indications suggesting potential 
impairment. TUI Group’s intangible assets with an indefinite useful life consist exclusively of goodwill.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Impairment  tests  for  goodwill  are  conducted  on  the  basis  of  cash-generating  units  (CGU)  or  groups  of 
cash-generating units.

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is based on the straight-line method, based on the customary 
useful lives. The useful economic lives are as follows:

Impairment charges are recognised where the carrying amount of the tested units plus the allocated good-
will exceeds the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of dis posal 
and the present value of future cash flows based on continued use (value in use). The fair value less costs of 
disposal corresponds to the amount that could be generated between knowledgeable, willing, independent 
business partners after deduction of the costs of disposal.

Property, plant and equipment are measured at amortised cost. The costs to purchase include costs to bring 
the asset to a working condition. The costs to produce are determined on the basis of direct costs and 
directly attributable indirect costs and depreciation. 

Borrowing costs directly associated with the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets are 
included in the costs to acquire or produce these assets until the assets are ready for their intended use. 

To the extent that funds are borrowed specifically for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset, the under-
lying  capitalisation  rate  is  determined  on  the  basis  of  the  specific  borrowing  cost;  in  all  other  cases  the 
weighted average of the borrowing costs applicable to the borrowings outstanding is applied.

Moreover, the level of depreciation is determined by the residual values at the end of the useful life of an 
asset. The residual value assumed in first-time recognition for cruise ships and hotel complexes is between 
15 %  and  35 %  of  the  acquisition  costs.  The  determination  of  the  depreciation  of  aircraft  fuselages  and 
aircraft engines in first-time recognition is based on a residual value of a maximum of 5 % of the cost of 
acquisition. In addition, a residual value of 20 % is used to determine the scheduled depreciation of spare 
parts. The payments made under a power by the hour arrangement relating to maintenance overhauls are 
capitalised as PPE under construction up to a maintenance event at which point the cost is transferred to the 
appropriate PPE category.

Both the useful lives and residual values are reviewed on an annual basis when preparing the Group financial 
statements. The review of the residual values is based on comparable assets at the end of their useful lives 
as at the current point in time. Any adjustments required are recognised as a correction of depreciation over 
the remaining useful life of the asset. The adjustment of depreciation is recognised retrospectively for the 
entire financial year in which the review has taken place. Where the review results in an increase in the 
residual value so that it exceeds the remaining net carrying amount of the asset, depreciation is suspended. 
In this case, the amounts are not written back.

Any losses in value going beyond wear-and-tear depreciation are taken into account through the recognition 
of impairment losses. If there are any events or indications suggesting impairment, the required impairment 
test is performed to compare the carrying amount of an asset with the recoverable amount.

L E A S E S
Leases are agreements transferring the right to use an identified asset for a given period of time in return 
for a payment. As a lessee, TUI leases moveable assets such as aircraft, vehicles and cruise ships, as well as, 
in particular, immoveable property such as hotel buildings and land, office buildings and travel agencies. As 
a lessor, TUI subleases some aircraft and hotel and office space. 

T U I   A S   L E S S E E
TUI recognises right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities for the lease arrangements, in which it 
is the lessee, in the statement of financial position. As an exception, TUI applies the recognition and meas-
urement exemptions for all short-term leases and low-value asset leases. A short-term lease is a lease that 
has a lease term of 12 months or less and does not contain a purchase option. The lease payments for those 
leases are recognised as an expense in the cost of sales or in administrative expenses on a straight-line basis 
over the lease term or on another systematic basis.

At the inception of an agreement, TUI evaluates whether it is, or contains, a lease. Apart from traditional 
lease, tenancy or leasing contracts, service or capacity agreements may also fall within the scope of IFRS 16. 
In connection with the purchase of mixed tourism services, the rental or purchase of the largest portion of 
a hotel’s room capacity is identified as a lease component if TUI commits to its contract partner to purchase 
a fixed allotment of more than 90 % of the hotel’s capacity for a period of more than 12 months, provided 
the agreement does not include an exemption to return committed capacity for self-marketing by the hotelier, 
and if therefore an irrevocable payment obligation exists. For agreements that contain one or several lease 
components alongside non-lease components, TUI uses the option not to separate these non-lease compon-
ents, in particular for vehicle or IT leases and for hotel capacity contracts. 

At the commencement date, i. e. the date from which the lessee is entitled to exercise the right to use the 
underlying asset, a lease liability amounting to the present value of the lease payments not yet made as at 
that date is recognised. The lease payments include all fixed and in substance-fixed payments less any future 
lease incentives to be provided by the lessor. The lease payments also include variable payments linked to 
an index or an interest rate as well as expected payments from residual value guarantees. Lease payments 
for the exercise of extension, purchase and termination options are included if the exercise of these options 
is assessed as reasonably certain. As a rule, the lease payments are discounted at the lessor’s interest rate 
implicit in the lease. If that rate is not known to TUI, the present value is determined using the incremental 
borrowing rate. After initial measurement, the carrying amount is increased to reflect interest on the lease 
liability and reduced to reflect the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities 
is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments (e. g., 
changes to future payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine such lease pay-
ments) or a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset. The interest expense 
from the subsequent measurement of the lease liability is presented in the interest result. Variable lease 
payments not linked to an index nor to an interest rate are recognised through profit or loss in the period in 
which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.

In addition, a right-of-use asset is recognised at the commencement date. Right-of-use assets for the leased 
items  are  measured  at  amortised  cost  less  cumulative  depreciation / amortisation  and  cumulative  impair-
ment  and  adjusted  for  revaluations  of  the  lease  liability.  The  costs  of  a  right-of-use  asset  comprise  the 
present value of the future lease payments plus initial direct costs and the lease payments made prior to 
commencement  less  any  lease  incentives  received  and  the  estimated  costs  to  be  incurred  to  restore  the 
leased  asset  to  the  condition  required  by  the  terms  and  conditions  of  the  lease.  Capitalised  right-of-use 
assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the expected useful life 
of the right-of-use asset. If the lease transfers ownership of the leased asset to TUI by the end of the lease 
term, or if the lease payments reflect the future exercise of a purchase option, the right-of-use asset is 
depreciated over the useful life of the leased asset. Depreciation of capitalised right-of-use assets is carried 
in the cost of sales or in administrative expenses. 

S A L E   A N D   L E A S E B A C K
For sale and leaseback transactions, TUI initially determines in accordance with IFRS 15 whether the transfer 
of the asset has to be accounted for as a sale. If the transfer is accounted for as a sale, TUI recognises the 
right-of-use asset associated with the sale and leaseback transaction, as seller and as lessee, at the propor-
tion of the previous carrying amount that relates to the right-of-use asset retained. The gain or loss from 
the sale transaction is carried in profit or loss on a pro rata basis at the amount of the rights transferred to 
the buyer and lessor. If the transfer is not accounted for as a sale, TUI continues to recognise the legally 
transferred asset as before and carries a financial liability for the proceeds received.

T U I   A S   L E S S O R
As a lessor, TUI classifies each lease as an operating lease or a finance lease. If TUI as a lessor has substan-
tially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset, the lease is classified as an 
operating lease. If the lease transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the 
underlying asset to the lessee, the lease is classified as a finance lease.

For subleases, the lease classification has been made by reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the 
head lease in accordance with IFRS 16 and not by reference to the underlying lease asset.

The lease payments from operating leases are recognised in revenue on a straight-line basis over the lease 
term. Any initial direct costs incurred in obtaining the lease are added to the carrying amount of the under-
lying leased item and depreciated over the lease term on a straight-line basis.

 
 
 
 
 
 
For finance leases, TUI recognises a lease receivable at an amount equal to the net investment in the lease 
and derecognises the underlying leased asset or the right-of-use asset from the head lease. The lease pay-
ments made by the lessees are broken down into an interest portion and a redemption portion using the 
effective interest rate method so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the balance of the net 
investment. The redemption portions received are deducted from the lease receivable. The interest portion 
of the payments received is carried in the interest result.

F I N A N C I A L   I N S T R U M E N T S
Financial instruments are contractual rights or obligations that will lead to an inflow or outflow of financial 
assets or the issue of own equity instruments for one of the two contracting parties and correspondingly to 
an inflow or outflow of financial assets for the other contracting party. They also comprise (derivative) rights 
or obligations derived in particular, from non-derivative financial assets. 

N O N - D E R I V AT I V E   F I N A N C I A L   A S S E T S   A N D   F I N A N C I A L   L I A B I L I T I E S
The classification and measurement of financial assets are determined on the basis of the business model 
assigned to manage financial assets and the related contractual cash flows. At initial recognition of financial 
assets, the classification comprises the categories ‘Financial assets at amortised cost (AC)’, ‘Financial assets 
at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)’ and ‘Financial assets at fair value through profit 
and loss (FVPL)’. 

Non-derivative  financial  assets  are  initially  recognized  with  their  values  at  the  trading  date  on  which  TUI 
Group under-takes to buy the assets. When recognised for the first time, they are either classified at amort-
ised costs or at fair value, depending on their objective. Non-derivative financial assets are classified as 
financial assets at amortised cost when the objective of the entity’s business model is to hold the financial 
assets to collect contractually agreed cash flows, and when the cash flows exclusively constitute interest and 
principal payments on the nominal amount outstanding. 

For financial assets held at amortised cost, a loss allowance for expected credit losses is recognised in ac-
cordance with IFRS 9. Loss allowances for financial assets are based on either full lifetime expected credit 
losses or 12-month expected credit losses. A loss allowance for lifetime expected credit losses is required for 
a financial instrument if the credit risk of that financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition 
or if the financial instruments are trade receivables, lease liabilities or contract assets. For all other financial 
instruments,  expected  credit  losses  are  measured  at  an  amount  equal  to  the  12-month  expected  credit 
losses. 

IFRS 9 allows entities to apply a simplified approach inter alia for trade receivables. Lifetime expected credit 
losses on all these assets can be recognised at initial recognition. TUI applies the simplified approach for all 
trade receivables.

Impairments  and  reversals  of  impairments  are  recognised  under  ’Impairment / reversals  of  impairment  of 
financial assets’ in the income statement.

The equity instruments held in the balance sheet item ‘Other financial assets’ were irrevocably designated 
as ‘Financial assets at fair value through OCI’ as they are held for medium- to long-term strategic objectives. 
These  instruments  are  stakes  in  associated  non-consolidated  subsidiaries,  equity  investments  and  other 
investments. Recognising all fluctuations in the fair value in the income statement would not be in line with 
the Group’s strategy. They are allocated to assets unless the entity intends to sell them within twelve months 
after the balance sheet date. Dividends from these equity instruments are recognised in the income state-
ment unless the dividends are clearly a partial repayment of the cost to purchase the equity instrument.

The  cumulative  gain  or  loss  from  the  subsequent  measurement  of  the  equity  instruments  recognised  in 
other comprehensive income will continue to be recognised in equity even after the equity instrument has 
been derecognised and reclassified to revenue reserves. 

All other financial assets not recognised at amortised cost or at fair value through OCI must be measured at 
fair value through profit and loss.

Financial assets are derecognised at the date on which the rights for payments from the assets expire or are 
transferred and therefore at the date on which essentially all risks and rewards of ownership are transferred. 
The rights to an asset expire when the rights to receive the cash flows from the asset have expired. For 
transfers of financial assets, it is assessed whether they have to be derecognised in accordance with the 
derecognition requirements of IFRS 9.

Non-derivative  financial  liabilities  are  recognised  in  the  consolidated  statement  of  financial  position  if  an 
obligation exists to transfer cash and cash equivalents or other financial assets to another party. A non- 
derivative financial liability is initially recognized at its fair value. For loans taken out, the nominal amount is 
reduced by discounts retained and transaction costs paid and discounted over the expected remaining term 
of the liability. The subsequent measurement of non-derivative financial liabilities is effected at amortised 
cost using the effective interest method. TUI does not use the fair value option. 

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the obligations specified in the contract are discharged, cancelled 
or expire.

All foreign exchange differences resulting from the translation of trade accounts payable are reported as a 
correction to the cost of sales. Foreign exchange differences from the translation of liabilities not resulting 
from normal operating processes are reported under Other income / expenses, Financial expenses / income 
or administrative expenses, depending on the nature of the underlying receivables or payables. 

Upon entering into a transaction, TUI documents the hedge relationship between the hedge and the under-
lying transaction, the risk management goal and the underlying strategy. In addition, a record is kept of the 
assessment, both at the beginning of the hedge relationship by the using Critical Terms Match method and 
on a continual qualitative basis, as to whether the derivatives used for the hedge are highly effective in com-
pensating for the changes in the fair values or cash flows of the underlying transactions. 

The bond with warrants and the convertible bond on shares in TUI AG have to be accounted for as compound 
financial instruments. Compound financial instruments are divided into an equity and a debt component in 
accordance with IAS 32. The debt component shown under financial liabilities is valued, less the pro rata 
transaction costs and added to the repayment amount using the effective interest method. The equity com-
ponent  is  valued  at  the  residual  value  that  results  after  deducting  the  amount  determined  for  the  debt 
component from the fair value of the entire instrument. The pro rata transaction costs of the equity com-
ponent are deducted from this component. No gain or loss will result from the exercise or  expiry of the 
relevant conversion option.

D E R I V AT I V E   F I N A N C I A L   I N S T R U M E N T S   A N D   H E D G E   A C C O U N T I N G 
At initial measurement, derivative financial instruments are measured at the fair value attributable to them 
on the date the contract is entered into and recognised in the balance sheet. Subsequent remeasurement is 
also recognised at the fair value calculated at the respective balance sheet date. Where derivative financial 
instruments are not part of a designated hedging relationship in connection with hedge accounting, they are 
classified as ‘at fair value through profit and loss’. The method used to recognise gains and losses depends 
on whether the derivative financial instrument has been fully or possibly only partly designated as a hedging 
instrument, and on the nature of the hedged item. Changes in the fair value of a derivative financial instru-
ment  not  designated  as  a  hedging  instrument  or  the  component  of  a  derivative  financial  instrument  not 
designated as a hedging instrument are immediately recognised through profit and loss. If, by contrast, an 
effective  hedging  relationship  exists,  the  transaction  is  recognised  as  a  hedge.  The  unrealised  gains  and 
losses from the fair value valuation of derivative financial instruments that are designated as hedging instru-
ments within hedge accounting are initially recognised in equity without affecting profit or loss. In the case 
of derivative financial instruments that are not part of a hedging relationship, the effect on profit or loss is 
immediate, i. e. the changes from the fair valuation are recognised through profit and loss.

TUI Group uses the accounting policy choice provided by IFRS 9, enabling entities to continue applying the 
hedge accounting requirements of IAS 39. Hedge accounting is exclusively used to hedge the exposure due 
to foreign currency and fuel price fluctuations in cash flows from highly probable forecast transactions (cash 
flow hedges). Hedges of balance sheet items (fair value hedges), i. e. hedges of the fair value of an asset or a 
liability, which would be accounted for at amortised cost, are currently not designated.

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives forming cash flow hedges is recognised in 
equity without affecting profit and loss. Any ineffective portion of such changes in the fair value, by contrast, 
is recognised immediately in the income statement through profit and loss. Amounts taken to equity are 
reclassified to the income statement and carried as income or expenses in the period in which the hedged 
item or the hedge has an effect on results or it is no longer highly expected that the hedged item or a 
corresponding part thereof will occur.

If a hedge expires, sold or no longer meets the criteria of IAS 39 for hedge accounting, the cumulative gain 
or loss remains in equity and is only recognised in the income statement through profit and loss when the 
originally hedged future forecasted transaction occurs. If the future transaction is no longer expected to 
take place, the cumulative gains or losses recognised directly in equity are immediately recognised through 
profit and loss. 

More detailed information on the Group’s risk management activities is provided in Note 41 and as well as in 
the ‘Risk report’ section of the Management Report.

If TUI has fulfilled their contractual obligations, contractual assets or trade receivables are carried. Trade 
receivables are carried if the claim for the acquisition of the consideration is no longer subject to a condition. 
As a rule, this is the case when the Group is contractually entitled to issue an invoice to the customer that 
has not yet been paid in advance through a customer deposit. Due to the tourism business model under 
which customers pay for their travel services in advance, TUI generally does not have any contractual assets.

C O N T R A C T U A L   C O S T S
The direct costs immediately resulting from obtaining a contract, e. g. sales commissions to travel agencies 
for sales of travel services, are capitalised as contractual costs in the statement of financial position upon 
payment of the commission. As a rule, the resulting expenses are recognised over the duration of the travel 
service in line with the associated revenue. 

I N V E N T O R I E S
The measurement method applied to similar inventory items is the weighted average cost formula.

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash, call deposits, other current highly liquid financial assets with an 
original term of a maximum of three months and current accounts. Overdrawn current accounts are shown 
as liabilities to banks under current financial liabilities.

E Q U I T Y
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or conversion 
options are taken to equity on a net after-tax basis as a deduction from the issuance proceeds. 

O W N   S H A R E S
The group’s holdings in its own equity instruments are shown as deductions from shareholders‘ equity at 
cost, including directly attributable transaction costs. No gain or loss is recognised in the income statement 
on the purchase or sale of shares. Any difference between the proceeds from sale and the original cost are 
taken to reserves.

P E N S I O N   P R O V I S I O N S
The pension provision recognised for defined benefit plans corresponds to the net present value of the 
defined benefit obligations (DBOs) as at the balance sheet date less the fair value of the plan assets. If the 
value of the plan assets exceeds the value of the DBO, the excess amount is shown within other non-financial 
assets. The DBOs are calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. 

For defined contribution plans, the Group pays contributions to public or private pension insurance plans on 
the basis of a statutory or contractual obligation or on a voluntary basis. The Group does not have any 
further payment obligations on top of the payment of the contributions. The contributions are recognised 
under staff costs when they fall due.

O T H E R   P R O V I S I O N S
Other provisions are formed when the Group has a current legal or constructive obligation as a result of a 
past event, where in addition it is probable that assets will be impacted by the settlement of the obligation 
and the level of the provision can be reliably determined. 

Where a large number of similar obligations exist, the probability of a charge over assets is determined on 
the basis of this group of obligations. A provision is also recognised if the probability of a charge over assets 
is low in relation to an individual obligation contained in this group. 

Provisions are measured at the present value of the expected expenses, taking account of a pre-tax interest 
rate, reflecting current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. 
Risks already taken into account in estimating future cash flows do not affect the discount rate. Increases in 
provisions due to accretion of interest are recognised as interest expenses through profit or loss. 

G O V E R N M E N T   G R A N T S
Government grants are recognised if there is reasonable assurance that TUI will comply with all attached 
conditions for receiving the grant and the grant will be awarded. Investment grants received are deducted 
from the carrying amounts of assets in property, plant or equipment where these grants are directly allocable 
to individual assets. If a direct allocation of grants to individual items of property, plant or equipment is not 
possible, or if the grants are from other government programmes, the grants and subsidies received are 
recognised as deferred income and shown within Other liabilities. Grants related to income are deducted 
from related expenses in the period in which the corresponding expenses are incurred. Government grants 
include, for example, income subsidies or social security contributions for short-time allowances. If short-
time allowance is a personal benefit for the employee, the respective payments are not recognised as income 
in the statement of profit or loss.

T O U R I S T I C   A D V A N C E   PAY M E N T S   R E C E I V E D   ( C O N T R A C T   L I A B I L I T I E S )
A contract liability is an obligation of the Group to deliver goods or services for a customer for which the 
customer  has  already  delivered  a  performance,  e. g.  in  the  form  of  payment  of  a  deposit.  In  the  tourism 
business model, customers pay deposits on most travel services prior to departure. The deposits received 
therefore constitute contract liabilities within the meaning of IFRS 15.

D E F E R R E D   TA X E S   A N D   I N C O M E   TA X E S
Expected tax savings from the use of tax losses carried forward assessed as recoverable in the future are 
recognised as deferred tax assets. Regardless of the unlimited ability to carry German tax losses forward 
which continues to exist, the annual utilisation is limited by the minimum taxation. Foreign tax losses carried 
forward frequently have to be used within a given country-specific time limit and are subject to restrictions 
concerning the use of these losses carried forward for profits on ordinary activities, which are taken into 
account accordingly in the measurement.

Income tax is directly charged or credited to equity if the tax relates to items directly credited or charged to 
equity in the same period or some other period. 

Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be 
available against which the temporary difference or an unused tax loss can be utilised.

 
 
 
 
 
 
Deferred taxes are measured at the tax rates and tax provisions applicable at the balance sheet date or 
adopted by law and expected to be applicable at the date of recognition of the deferred tax asset or the 
payment of the deferred tax liability.

The table below lists the key accounting and measurement methods used by TUI Group.

Deferred and current income tax liabilities are offset against the corresponding tax assets if they exist in the 
same fiscal territory and have the same nature and maturity.

Share-based payment schemes in the Group comprise both cash-settled and equity-settled schemes.

For cash-settled transactions, the resulting liability for the Group is charged to expenses at its fair value as 
at the date of the performance of the service by the beneficiary. Until settlement of the liability, the fair 
value of the liability is re-measured at every closing date and all changes in the fair value are recognised 
through profit and loss.

For equity-settled transactions the fair value of the awards granted is recognised under staff costs with a 
corresponding direct increase in equity. The fair value is determined at the point when the awards are granted 
and spread over the vesting period during which the employees become entitled to the awards. The method 
for the calculation of the granted awards is described in Note 40 ‘Share-based payments in accordance with 
IFRS 2’.

Key judgements, assumptions and estimates

The presentation of the assets, liabilities and provisions as well as contingent assets and liabilities shown in 
the consolidated financial statements is based on judgements, assumptions and estimates. Any uncertainties 
are appropriately taken into account in determining the values. 

All estimates and assumptions are based on the conditions and assessments as at the balance sheet date. In 
evaluating the future development of business, reasonable assumptions are made regarding the expected 
future economic environment in the business areas and regions in which the Group operates. 

Despite careful preparation of the estimates, actual results may differ from the estimate. In such cases, the 
assumptions  and  the  carrying  amounts  of  the  assets  and  liabilities  concerned,  if  necessary,  are  adjusted 
accordingly.  As  a  matter  of  principle,  changes  in  estimates  are  taken  into  account  in  the  financial  year  in 
which the changes have occurred and in future periods.

J U D G E M E N T S
The judgements made by management in applying accounting policies that may have a significant impact on 
TUI Group’s assets and liabilities mainly relate to the following topics:

•  Assessment when the Group has control over an investee and therefore consolidates this investment
•  Definition of whether a Group company acts as an agent or as a principal in a transaction
•  Determination whether an agreement is to be classified as a lease or contains a lease
•  Determination of the term of the lease as a lessee in the event of agreements with extension or termination

TUI determines the term of the lease based on the non-cancellable period for which the lessee has the right 
to use the asset, together with any periods covered by extension options, if exercise of that option by TUI is 
reasonably certain, as well as periods covered by termination options if TUI is reasonably certain that it will not 
exercise that option. Many of TUI’s individually negotiated aircraft and real estate leases contain extension 
or termination options. 

TUI applies judgement in evaluating whether it is reasonably certain that an option to renew will be exercised 
or that an option to terminate the lease will not be exercised. In this context, TUI considers all relevant facts 
and circumstances that create an economic incentive for TUI to exercise, or not to exercise, the extension or 
termination option, respectively. From the commencement date, TUI remeasures the lease term if there is 
either a significant event or a significant change in the circumstances within our control that alters any of our 
assessments  about  what  is  reasonably  certain.  The  lease  term,  for  instance,  is  adjusted  if  an  extension 
option is exercised or if a termination option is not exercised and if this had been considered differently in 
the original assessment. 

For aircraft leases, we determine the end of the lease term on the basis of the contractually agreed return 
date. For medium- to long-term property agreements, e. g. office buildings, hotels or travel agency leases, 
options to renew the lease are included in the lease term to the extent to which TUI presumes that the future 
exercise of the option is reasonably certain in the individual case. 

For information on potential future lease payments relating to periods after the exercise date for extension 
or termination options, please refer to Note 15.

A S S U M P T I O N S   A N D   E S T I M AT E S
Assumptions and estimates that may have a material impact on the amounts reported as assets and liabilities 
in TUI Group are mainly related to the following balance sheet-related facts and circumstances: 

•  Determination of assumptions for use in impairment tests, in particular for goodwill and property, plant 

and equipment

•   Effect of climate-related risks on the measurement of assets 
•   Determination of the fair values for acquisitions of companies and determination of the useful lives of 

acquired intangible assets

•   Determination of useful lives and residual carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment
•   Determination of actuarial assumptions to measure pension obligations
•   Recognition and measurement of other provisions
•   Determination of the incremental borrowing rate used to measure lease liabilities 
•   Recoverability of future tax savings from tax losses carried forward and tax-deductible temporary differ-

ences

•   Measurement of tax risks
•   Recoverable amounts of touristic prepayments
•   Determination that the package holiday represents a performance obligation due to the significant 

integration service

•   Determination of period-related revenue recognition on a straight-line basis over the duration of the trip
•   Determination of the ECL of financial instruments

P R O P E R T Y,   P L A N T   A N D   E Q U I P M E N T 
The impairment tests are performed on the basis of future discounted cash inflows derived from medium- 
term corporate planning. Both the derivation of future cash inflows and the determination of the interest 
rate are heavily influenced by assumptions and estimates and are associated with uncertainties, in particular 
due to the strong general increase in prices and interest rates, which could lead to a decline in demand for 
tourism products, due to long-lasting price increases for fuel and other input factors and as a result of 
climate related risks.

While TUI’s Winter 2021 / 22 business was still adversely affected by travel restrictions in response to the 
COVID-19  pandemic,  all  segments  fully  resumed  their  operations  after  these  restrictions  were  gradually 
lifted. From April 2022, the Cruises segment again operated its entire fleet. From Summer 2022, Hotels & 
Resorts  offered  their  entire  product  portfolio.  Demand  showed  a  very  robust  recovery,  which,  however 
started later than assumed in the prior year’s planning due to the travel restrictions in place at the beginning 
of the financial year. In the Cruises segment, demand recovered later than in other segments. A shorter-term 
booking pattern continues to be observed. The unprecedented restart of business operations resulted in 
business disruptions in aviation, in particular in the UK and the Netherlands, but also in other source mar-
kets, causing an adverse impact on Group earnings. The price increases recorded in the course of the finan-
cial year under review, in particular for fuels, and the fluctuations in exchange rates were not fully offset by 
higher travel prices and placed an additional burden on earnings in the completed financial year. For financial 
year 2023, it is expected that travel restrictions will no longer have a material impact on TUI’s business and 
that TUI’s business will return to 2019 levels. However, in financial year 2023, fuel costs are expected to remain 
high as well as energy and food prices. The cost-saving initiatives already implemented, especially in Markets & 
Airlines and the segment Musement, will have a positive effect. For the subsequent financial years 2024 and 
2025,  the  cost-saving  initiatives  already  implemented,  the  further  digitalisation  of  our  business  and  the 
expansion of existing and new business areas are expected to take largely effect. These factors together will 
lead to customer volumes which will expectedly exceed 2019 levels. Fuel prices are expected to decline in 
those years though remain at higher levels. Below we describe the key assumptions underlying medium-term 
business planning in the segments. 

In its business plan, Hotels & Resorts expects to improve performance versus 2022, in particular as travel 
restrictions are no longer expected. This development is expected to benefit from TUI’s high level of direct 
distribution, enabling the segment to steer customers to its own hotels. In the medium term, the segment is 
expected to deliver further earnings growth due to capacity expansion, demand growth and increases in 
average selling prices. 

In the Cruises segment, Marella and TUI Cruises are expected to operate their entire fleets and achieve 
occupancy rates close to 2019 levels in financial year 2023. However, earnings will be adversely impacted by 
increased prices for bunker oil in 2023. Post-2023, prices for bunker oil are expected to decline, initially to 
levels 23 % and then to 16.5 % above the assumed price levels for fuel of prior year’s planning. In Summer 
2023, Marella will already be expanding its fleet by an additional cruise ship. TUI Cruises will transfer that 
vessel in Summer 2023 and expand its fleet to eight ships (excluding the Hapag Lloyd Kreuzfahrten brand) 
in the following years to 2025. The fleet expansion and the associated assumptions about occupancy rates 
are subject to elevated uncertainty. 

The future development of TUI Musement depends in part on the development of customer numbers in 
Markets & Airlines. TUI Musement will also generate growth through the sale of tours, activities and tickets 
due to the expansion of its own / direct distribution via the internet and the app.

In Markets & Airlines, financial year 2023 is expected to see a return of customer numbers to 2019 levels, 
partly  driven  by  market  consolidation.  The  implemented  cost-savings  initiatives  will  cushion  the  adverse 
earnings impact from higher fuel prices and other higher costs. The operational flight disruption encoun-
tered in financial year 2022 is not expected to recur in 2023 to that extent, partly due to measures initiated 
by TUI itself, partly because airports will adjust their capacity to higher load factors. Wider use of online 
distribution, the provision of dynamic production capacities for flights and accommodation and the invest-
ments  in  digitalisation  are  expected  to  take  effect  in  financial  years  2024  and  2025.  Moreover,  kerosene 
prices are expected to decline initially to 49.6 % and then 41.0 % above the assumed price niveau of prior 
year’s planning. These planning assumptions are subject to elevated uncertainty. 

Other key factors are the weighted average cost of capital after income taxes (WACC), on which discounting 
is based, the sustainable growth rate and the growth in perpetuity. Changes in these assumptions may have 
a significant impact on the recoverable amount and the amount of any impairment loss. The increase in the 
general interest rate level in financial year 2022 also resulted in an increase in WACC as at 30 September 2022.

The weighted average cost of capital after income taxes (WACC), on which discounting is based, was derived 
from external capital market information about comparable companies. The cost of capital to Markets & 
Airlines was increased by an additional risk premium of 1.9 % (previous year 3.4 %). This additional risk premium 
was based on an analysis of internal and external market expectations and reflects the elevated uncertainty 
with regard to medium- and long-term market developments as well as existing risks regarding a general 
price inflation which could lead to a decline in demand for tourism products and increased prices for fuel and 
other input factors. Additional country-specific risk premiums are included, in particular, in the measure-
ment of individual hotels. On the determination of WACC we refer to the section Goodwill. 

The increased discount factor and the general price inflation, in particular, triggered the implementation of 
a risk assessment for the Group’s assets in the light of indications suggesting impairments as at 30 Septem-
ber 2022. Where an increased risk was identified for a cash-generating unit, its assets were tested for 
impairment. Moreover, where additional indications such as planned closures, divestments or restructurings 
were observed, the assets were also tested for impairment. All previously impaired assets were tested for 
reversals of impairments and all goodwills were tested for impairments.

Finally we have implemented sensitivity analyses to estimate the uncertainty associated with the assump-
tions on which the impairment tests are based. The sensitivities and their impact on the fair value result 
exclusively from the adjustment of individual parameters. Possible compensatory measures were not taken 
into account. Sensitivities have been calculated for changes of the WACC and the sustainable growth in per-
petuity. In addition, sensitivity analyses have been carried out for a general increase or decrease of future 
cash flows, a long-lasting increase or decrease of prices for fuel, risks or chances related to demand and fuel 
prices in the financial year 2023 and for material climate related risks. For further details we refer to the 
section ‘Goodwill’.

Climate-related risks can have an impact on the recoverability of the Group’s assets in various ways. These 
risks include the increasing occurrence of natural disasters and the resulting damage, e. g. to hotels, or the 
disruption to travel activity. TUI addresses risks from natural disasters, e. g. hurricanes, by taking out insur-
ance policies. In addition TUI has well-established crisis management procedures in place which are focused 
on the welfare of the customers in such situations. The related expenses are included in the business plans. 
In total the aforementioned physical risks do not have a material financial impact. Accordingly these risks are 
not comprised in the sensitivity analysis described in the section ‘Goodwill’.

Climate-related risks with an impact on the recoverability of assets can additionally occur if the demand for 
the services of TUI declines because they do not meet the standards in relation to emissions and adaptation 
to climate change. TUI counteracts these risks with its strategy to reduce climate-damaging emissions and 
increasing the sustainability of our services. These so called transitional risks are subsumed under SBTi risks.

Moreover, the future cash inflows used in impairment tests for individual assets may also be affected by 
higher future expenses due to regulatory or voluntary measures to reduce climate-damaging emissions. In 
2022, TUI joined the Science Based Target intitiative (SBTi), committing to implement emission reductions 
until 2030. Detailed emission reduction roadmaps have been developed for TUI’s airlines, cruises and hotels 
which represent 99 % of the Groups’s own emissions. The estimates of the impact on future cash inflows 
from these roadmaps are subject to substantial uncertainty. This uncertainty is especially related to changes 
in the regulatory framework, the development of new technologies and changes in customer behaviour. The 
impact is different between the segments. The following SBTi risks are taken into account in the sensitivity 
analysis in the section ‘Goodwill’.

In Markets & Airlines, these risks primarily concern the airlines. They will be impacted by higher aircraft fuel 
taxes, emissions trading and the consumption of low-carbon aviation fuel. These expenses will partially be 
offset by cost savings from reduced aviation fuel consumption and lower costs of emissions trading in the 
wake of an increasing use of low-carbon aviation fuels. Overall we expect an increase of the flight expenses. 
Given the comparable young and efficient fleet of TUI we expect that we will occur less additional costs than 
other airlines. Therefore it is our assumption that these increases are in a range that made it possible to 
cover them by corresponding price increases. However, at the current point in time, the future regulatory 
framework for aircraft fuel tax and emissions trading is not yet known and there is as yet insufficient 
production capacity for low-carbon aviation fuel. In addition the willingness to pay of our customers might 
not be sufficient to cover the cost increases. The estimates are therefore subject to elevated uncertainty.

TUI assumes that expenses from measures to reduce climate-damaging emissions in the Hotels & Resorts 
segment will relate in particular to efforts to reduce energy consumption, to establish own energy gener-
ation units, e. g. through the use of solar installations, and to purchase energy which has been produced 
without climate-damaging emissions. Estimates show that energy-saving measures as well as the Group’s 
own generation of energy may lead to savings that exceed the initial expenses. 

In the Cruises segment, the measures to reduce climate-damaging emissions include investments, leading, 
for instance, to a more efficient use of the ships and the installation of shore power connections. These 
investments are already included in planned capital expenditure. However, in the Cruises segment, too, a big 
proportion  of  future  expenses  will  relate  to  the  use  of  low-carbon  fuels,  bunker  oil  taxes  and  emissions 
trading. As in Markets & Airlines, the estimates of these expenses and the willingness to pay of our customers 
are subject to substantial uncertainty.

Overall, TUI does not consider climate-related risks as a triggering event to test assets for impairment as at 
30  September  2022.  However,  we  have  implemented  sensitivity  analyses  for  all  relevant  cash  generating 
units to estimate the uncertainty associated with the assumptions, presented in the section ‘Goodwill.’ The 
sensitivity analyses for these SBTi risks are calculated for an increase or decrease of the expenses related to 
the  reduction  of  climate-damaging  emissions  until  2030  without  taking  into  account  a  compensation  by 
changes of the travel prices.

In accounting for business combinations, the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired 
have to be measured at their fair values. In this context, cash flow-based methods are regularly used, which 
may lead to different results depending on the underlying assumptions. In particular, some judgement is 
required  in  estimating  the  economic  useful  lives  of  intangible  assets  and  determining  the  fair  values  of 
contingent liabilities. 

Detailed information on business acquisitions and useful lives of intangible assets is provided in the section 
‘Acquisitions – divestments’ in the section on ‘Principles and methods of consolidation’ and in the section on 
‘Goodwill and other intangible assets’ of the section ‘Accounting and measurement methods’.

P R O P E R T Y,   P L A N T   A N D   E Q U I P M E N T
The measurement of wear-and-tear to property, plant and equipment items entails estimates. In addition 
material assumptions and estimates are the determination of useful lives and residual carrying amounts of 
property, plant and equipment. The carrying amount of property, plant and equipment as at 30 Septem-
ber 2022 totals € 3,400.9 m (previous year € 3,159.3 m). In order to review the amounts carried, an evaluation 
is carried out on a regular basis to assess whether there are any indications of a potential impairment. These 
indications relate to a number of areas and factors, e. g. the market-related or technical environment but also 
physical condition. If any such indication exists, management must estimate the recoverable amount on the 
basis of expected cash flows and appropriate interest rates. 

More detailed information on the useful lives and residual values of property, plant and equipment items is 
provided in the section ‘Property, plant and equipment’ in the section ‘Accounting and measurement methods’.

 
 
 
 
 
 
P E N S I O N   P R O V I S I O N S
As  at  30  September  2022,  the  carrying  amount  of  provisions  for  pensions  and  similar  obligations  totals 
€ 601.3 m (previous year € 935.1 m). For those pension plans where the plan assets exceed the obligation, 
other  non-financial  assets  amounting  to  € 163.4 m  are  shown  as  at  30  September  2022  (previous  year 
€ 137.1 m). 

In order to determine the obligations under defined benefit pension schemes, actuarial calculations are used 
which rely on underlying assumptions concerning life expectancy and the discount rate. 

At the balance sheet date, the fair value of the plan assets totals € 2,076.4 m (previous year € 3,172.1 m). As 
assets classified as plan assets are never available for short-term sale, the fair values of these plan assets 
may change significantly up to the realisation date. 

L E A S E   L I A B I L I T I E S
As at 30 September 2022, lease liabilities worth € 3,207.5 m (previous year € 3,229.4 m) were carried, reflecting 
the present value of the future lease payments as at that date. The interest rate implicit in the lease can only 
be easily determined in exceptional cases. In all other cases TUI therefore uses its own incremental borrowing 
rate to measure the lease liability. The incremental borrowing rate is the interest rate TUI would have to pay 
to borrow over a similar term, and with a similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar 
value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment. Determining the incremental borrowing 
rate therefore regularly involves estimates regarding the interest rate the Group would have to pay. In this 
context, estimates are required, for instance, to determine the interest the Group companies would have to 
pay if no observable interest rates are available, or if adjustments are required regarding the specific agreed 
terms and conditions such as the transaction currency or contract term. TUI determines the incremental 
borrowing rate using observable inputs (bond yields and CDS quotations) and makes specific adjustments 
for individual companies (e. g. country risk premiums).

Detailed information on actuarial assumptions is provided in Note 30.

O T H E R   P R O V I S I O N S
As at 30 September 2022, other provisions amount to € 1,296.0 m (previous year € 1,303.1 m). When recog-
nising and measuring provisions, assumptions to a considerable content regarding the probability of occur-
rence, maturity and level of risk are required. 

Determining whether a current obligation exists is usually based on review by internal or external experts. 
The amount of provisions is based on expected expenses, and is either calculated by assessing the specific 
case in the light of empirical values, outcomes from comparable circumstances or ranges of possible claims, 
or else estimated by experts. Due to the uncertainties associated with assessment, actual expenses may 
deviate from estimates so that unexpected charges may result.

D E F E R R E D   TA X   A S S E T S
As at 30 September 2022, deferred tax assets totalling € 222.0 m (previous year € 291.1 m) were recognised. 
Prior to offsetting against deferred tax liabilities, deferred tax assets total € 608.5 m, including an amount of 
€ 194.4 m (previous year € 147.3 m) for recognised losses carried forward. The assessment of the recover-
ability of deferred tax assets is based on the ability of the respective Group company to generate sufficient 
taxable income. TUI therefore assesses at every balance sheet date whether the recoverability of expected 
future tax savings is sufficiently probable in order to recognise deferred tax assets. The assessment is based 
on various factors including internal forecasts regarding the future earnings situation of the Group company. 
TUI uses a five-year planning horizon to derive the recoverability of tax loss carryforwards and deductible 
differences. If the assessment of the recoverability of deferred tax assets changes, impairment charges may 
be recognised, if necessary, on the deferred tax assets. 

More detailed information on Other provisions is provided in the Notes to the statement of financial position 
in Note 31.

More detailed information on deferred tax assets is available in the Notes to the statement of financial 
position in Note 20.

I N C O M E   TA X E S
The Group is liable to pay income taxes in various countries. Key estimates are required when determining 
income tax liabilities, including the probability, the timing and the size of any amounts that may become 
payable. For certain transactions and calculations the final tax charge cannot be determined during the or-
dinary course of business. After taking appropriate external advice, the Group makes provisions or discloses 
contingencies for uncertain tax positions based on the probable or possible level of additional taxes that 
might be incurred. The level of obligations for expected tax audits is based on an estimation of whether and 
to what extent additional income taxes will be due. Judgements are corrected, if necessary, in the period in 
which the final tax charge is determined.

As  at  30  September  2022,  the  carrying  amount  of  touristic  prepayments  totals  € 757.6 m  (previous  year 
€ 616.2 m). The assessment of the recoverable amounts of touristic prepayments made to hoteliers requires 
judgement about the volume of future trading with hoteliers and the credit worthiness of those hoteliers. To 
assess the recoverability of touristic prepayments, TUI considers the financial strength of those hoteliers, 
the quality of the hotels as well as the demand for each hotel and the relevant destination during the past 
and in forthcoming seasons.

F I N A N C I A L   I N S T R U M E N T S
When measuring ECL of financial instruments under IFRS 9 TUI uses, besides historical information, reason-
able and supportable forward-looking information, which is based on assumptions for the future movement 
of different economic drivers. The uncertainty remains that this future ECL will not be in line with actual 
default rates due to market development.

The  identification  of  operating  segments  is  based  on  the  internal  organisational  and  reporting  structure 
primarily  built  around  the  different  products  and  services  as  well  as  a  geographical  structure  within  TUI 
Group. Allocation of individual organisational entities to operating segments is exclusively based on economic 
criteria,  irrespective  of  the  participation  structure  under  company  law.  The  segments  are  independently 
managed by those in charge, who regularly receive separate financial information for each segment. They 
regularly report to the Group Executive Committee, which consists of six Executive Board members and five 
other executives. The legally binding decision regarding the use of resources is taken by the Executive Board. 
TUI Group’s Executive Board has therefore been identified as the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) 
in accordance with IFRS 8.

180  Segment Reporting

The Hotels & Resorts segment comprises all Group-owned hotels and hotel shareholdings of TUI Group.

The Cruises segment consists of the joint venture TUI Cruises, its subsidiary Hapag-Lloyd Cruises as well as 
the British cruise business Marella Cruises. 

The TUI Musement segment comprises the companies providing services in the destinations. 

The income statement items of the aircraft leasing companies holding TUI Group’s aircraft and subletting 
them within the Group have been fully allocated to the airlines using the respective aircraft (Northern 
Region, Central Region and Western Region segments).

The Northern Region segment comprises the tour operators and airlines in the UK, Ireland and the Nordic 
countries and the stake in the tour operation business of the Canadian company Sunwing. This segment also 
includes the tour operator TUI Lakes & Mountains, which plays a major role in securing the load factor for 
our UK aircraft fleet in winter.

The Central Region segment comprises the tour operators and airlines in Germany and tour operators in 
Austria, Poland and Switzerland.

The Western Region segment comprises the tour operators and airlines in Belgium and the Netherlands and 
tour operators in France. 

Apart from the above segments, the recognised items also include All other segments. This comprises the 
business operations for new markets and in particular the central corporate functions and interim holdings 
of TUI Group and the Group’s real estate companies, as well as central tourism functions such as information 
technology. 

The selection of segment data presented is based on the regular internal reporting to the Executive Board. 
From the 2020 financial year onwards, underlying EBIT is the segment performance indicator within the 
meaning of IFRS 8. 

We define the EBIT in underlying EBIT as earnings before interest, income taxes and result of the measure-
ment of the Group’s interest hedges. EBIT by definition includes goodwill impairments. 

Underlying EBIT is adjusted for by income and expense items impacting or distorting the assessment of the 
operating profitability of the segments and the Group due to their level and frequency. These separately 
disclosed items include gains on disposal from investments, major gains and losses from the sale of assets 
and major restructuring and integration expenses. In addition, adjustments are carried for all effects from 
purchase price allocations, ancillary acquisition costs and conditional purchase price payments. Adjustments 
made in the reconciliation to underlying EBIT also include goodwill impairments. 

In financial year 2022, net expenses totalling € 58.7 m were adjusted as separately disclosed items. 

The adjusted separately disclosed items for financial year 2022 include restructuring expenses of € 94 m in 
the Hotels & Resorts (€ 37 m), Central Region (€ 21 m), Northern Region (€ 19 m), TUI Musement (€ 9 m), All 
Other Segments (€ 14 m) and Western Region (€ 3 m) segments. Restructuring expenses also include income 
of € 9 m from the reversal of restructuring provisions no longer required in Western Region. In addition, 
income of € 19 m from the sale of the shares in Nordotel S.A, fully consolidated in the Hotels & Resorts 
segment,  to  Grupotel  dos  S. A.,  a  joint  venture  of  the  TUI  Group,  income  of  € 16 m  from  the  subsequent 
purchase price adjustment of the disposal of our 49 % stake in the Riu Hotels S. A. joint venture to a company 
of the Riu Group in the previous year was adjusted. 

In financial year 2021, net income totalling € 95.9 m was adjusted as separately disclosed items.

Separately disclosed items in the financial year 2021 include income of € 54 m from the reversal of provisions 
as  well  as  other  obligations  in  connection  with  restructuring  measures  no  longer  required  in  the  Central 
Region due to the lower than expected reduction in fleet size at TUIfly and € 2 m in Western Region. In ad-
dition, restructuring expenses of € 149 m related to the segments TUI Musement (€ 12 m), Northern Region 
(€ 11 m), Central Region (€ 21 m), Western Region (€ 55 m) and All Other Segments (€ 50 m). Furthermore, 
gains or losses on disposal from the sale of our 49 % stake in the joint venture Riu Hotels S. A. to a company 
of the Riu Group (€ 197 m), the closure of TUI Musement’s Mauritius business (€ – 2 m) and the sale of a stake 
in an aircraft asset company in the Northern (€ – 2 m) and Western (€ – 1 m) Regions, the sale of two hotel 
companies in Hotels & Resorts (€ – 4 m) and in the Western Region (€ 2 m) were adjusted. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
The adjusted expenses of € 30.1 m (previous year € 33.2 m) from purchase price allocations mainly include 
scheduled amortization of intangible assets from acquisitions made in previous years.

In accordance with IFRS 8 TUI presents intercompany leases – in line with the internal steering logic – as if 
they were IAS 17 Operating leases in segment reporting.

Apart from this indicator, internal and external revenue, depreciation and amortisation, impairments of 
other intangible assets (excluding goodwill), property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets and invest-
ments as well as the share of result of joint ventures and associates are likewise shown for each segment, as 
these amounts are included when determining underlying EBIT. As a rule, inter-segment business transac-
tions are based on the arm’s length principle, as applied in transactions with third parties. No single external 
customer accounts for 10 % or more of revenue.

Assets and liabilities by segment are not included in the reporting to the Executive Board and are therefore 
not shown in segment reporting. 

Depreciation and write-backs relate to non-current assets by region.

Notes to the Consolidated Income Statement

As a result of the easing of global travel restrictions, TUI Group was able to increase its business volume 
compared with financial year 2021. Nevertheless, the development of revenue and earnings in particular in 
the first half of financial year 2022 continued to be significantly impacted by the measures to contain the 
spread of COVID-19. TUI Group’s results generally also reflect the significant seasonal swing in tourism 
between the winter and summer travel months, however the impact is less evident especially in the previous 
year period due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

(1) Revenue

Group  revenue  is  mainly  generated  from  tourism  services.  The  other  revenues  present  income  from 
 sub-lease. In financial year 2022, consolidated revenue increased by 249.7 % year-on-year from € 4.7 bn to 
€ 16.5 bn. This reflects a normalisation of the business environment in tourism to an approximate pre- 
pandemic level in the course of the financial year.

(2) Cost of sales and administrative expenses

Administrative expenses comprise all expenses incurred in connection with activities by the administrative 
functions and break down as follows:

Cost of sales relates to the expenses incurred in the provision of tourism services. In addition to the expenses 
for personnel, depreciation, amortisation, rental and leasing, it includes all costs incurred by the Group in 
connection with the procurement and delivery of airline services, hotel accommodation, cruises and distri-
bution costs. 

Due to the increased business volume, the cost of sales increased by 162.2 % from € 6.0 bn to € 15.6 bn in 
financial year 2022.

The cost of sales in financial year 2022 and in the prior year include effects from the termination of hedging 
relationships  that  were  previously  designated  in  hedge  accounting  relationships.  For  more  details,  please 
refer to Note 41 ‘Financial instruments’.

Pension costs include service cost for defined benefit obligations and contributions to defined contribution 
pension schemes. 

In the period under review, TUI Group’s personnel expenses rose from € 1.7 bn in the prior year to € 2.1 bn. The 
year-on-year increase in wages and salaries and social security contributions in financial year 2022 resulted 
in particular from a 24.0 % increase in the average number of employees across the Group. In addition, the 
use of short-time working and other government programmes to secure jobs was significantly lower than in 
the previous year.

The government grants reported under cost of sales and administrative expenses include in particular grants 
for wages and salaries, social security contributions as well as other contributions directly reimbursed to the 
relevant company. Since April 2020 government programmes and measures to secure jobs had been intro-
duced by European governments similar to the short-time work benefit scheme in Germany as part of the 
meaures to curtail COVID-19. Especially subsidiaries of the Northern, Western and Central Region segments 
used these programmes following the introduction of travel restrictions in financial years 2020 and 2021 and 
in Winter 2022. In addition, a number of Group companies have applied for government grants, or received 
such grants, respectively, from the relevant national awarding authorities, e. g. in the form of grants for fixed 
costs. In the wake of the lifting of travel restrictions and the resumption of business operations, these meas-
ures  have  been  decreasingly  used  or  they  have  been  terminated.  Accordingly,  the  government  grants 
declined year-on-year.

In addition TUI AG received government assistance in the form of financing measures to cover the liquidity 
requirements due to the COVID-19 pandemic from the KfW and the ESF. For further details we refer to the 
section ‘Going concern reporting according to the UK Corporate Governance Code’.

Impairment losses of € 73.6 m (previous year € 111.3 m) are presented within cost of sales and € 0.3 m 
(previous year € 44.2 m) in administrative expenses.

Impairments losses of € 57.2 m (previous year € 50.7 m) relate to property, plant and equipment. Additionally 
€ 8.8 m  (previous  year  € 72.4 m)  correspond  to  right-of-use  assets  and  € 7.9 m  (previous  year  € 32.4 m)  to 
other intangible assets. 

In financial year 2022, reversals of impairment losses of € 50.4 m (previous year € 37.0 m) were recognized, of 
which € 49.6 m (previous year € 37.0 m) were recorded in cost of sales and € 0.8 m (previous year € 0.0 m) in 
administrative expenses. 

The increase in financial income of € 8.6 m in financial year 2022 mainly results from higher interest income 
of € 13.6 m. This increase in this income was partly compensated by decreased income from exchange rate 
changes on lease liabilities in accordance with IFRS 16.

In the period under review financial expenses increased by € 45.4 m. This increase mainly results from higher 
interest expenses, in particular, due to lease liabilities and defined benefit pension plans as well as the 
unwinding of discount on provisions. Expenses from exchange rate changes in lease liabilities in accordance 
with IFRS 16 increased as well.

(6) Share of result of joint ventures and associates

The share of result of joint ventures and associates of € 100.7 m (previous year € – 232.7 m) comprises the 
net result for the year attributable to the associated companies and joint ventures. 

Joint ventures and associates were tested for impairment as at 30 September 2022. This resulted in impairments 
of € 4.8 m (previous year € 5.0 m) and reversals of € 3.4 m (previous year € 0.0 m) in the Hotels & Resorts 
segment and € 0.4 m impairments (previous year € 0.1 m) and € 0.2 m reversals (previous year € 0.1 m) in the

(8) Group loss attributable to shareholders of TUI AG

In  financial  year  2022,  the  share  in  Group  loss  attributable  to  TUI  AG  shareholders  decreased  from 
€ – 2,467.2 m in the prior year to € – 277.3 m.

(9) Group profit / loss attributable to non-controlling interest

In the Hotels & Resorts segment, the Group profit attributable to non-controlling interest primarily relates 
to the RIUSA II Group with € 64.2 m (previous year Group loss € 10.6 m).

(10) Earnings per share

In accordance with IAS 33, basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the Group result for the year 
attributable  to  TUI  AG  shareholders  by  the  weighted  average  number  of  registered  shares  outstanding 
during the financial year. The average number of shares is derived from the total number of shares at the 
beginning of the financial year (1,099,393,634 shares) and the share capital increases in October and May in 
total of 685,812,219 new shares issued on a pro rata basis (535,425,497 new shares).

As a rule, a dilution of earnings per share occurs when the average number of shares increases due to the 
addition of the issue of potential shares from conversion options. In the event of a loss, this is not applicable. 
The matters described below therefore have no dilutive effect as of the reporting date.

On 1 October 2020, TUI AG issued a warrant bond to the Economic Stabilisation Fund (ESF) of € 150.0 m 
primary. Following the capital reduction in financial year 2021, the option price decreased accordingly from 
€ 2.56 to € 1.00 per share. The number of potential shares continues to amount to 58.7 m.

In January 2021 a conditional capital of € 420.0 m was approved to grant ESF the right to exchange all or part 
of ESF’s asset contribution in the form of a silent partnership of € 420.0 m at any time for up to 420.0 m new 
registered shares representing a proportionate amount of the capital stock of € 1.00 per share.

In accordance with the provisions of IAS 21, goodwill allocated to the individual segments and sectors was 
recognised in the functional currency of the subsidiaries and subsequently translated when preparing the 
consolidated financial statements. Similar to the treatment of other differences from the translation of 
annual financial statements of foreign subsidiaries, differences due to exchange rate fluctuations between 
the exchange rate at the date of acquisition of the subsidiary and the exchange rate at the balance sheet 
date are taken directly to equity outside profit and loss and disclosed as a separate item. In financial year 
2022, a reduction in the carrying amount of goodwill of € 22.5 m (previous year increase of € 78.6 m) resulted 
from foreign exchange differences.

The following table presents a breakdown of goodwill by cash-generating unit (CGU) at carrying amounts. 
Other exclusively consists of the two cash-generating units Robinson and Blue Diamond, which belong to the 
Hotels & Resorts segment.

As  at  30  September  2022,  an  impairment  test  of  capitalised  goodwill  was  performed  at  the  level  of 
cash-generating units. No impairments of capitalised goodwill were identified. 

For all CGUs, the recoverable amount was determined on the basis of fair value less costs of disposal, being 
the higher value compared to the value in use. The fair value was calculated by discounting the expected 
cashflows. This was based on the medium-term plan for the respective entity as at 30 September 2022. 
Budgeted revenues and EBIT margins are based on expectations with regard to the future business perform-
ance. We refer to the section ‘Key judgements, assumptions and estimates’.

The discount rates are calculated as the weighted average cost of capital, taking account of country-specific 
risks of the CGU and based on external capital market information. The unchanged high weighted average 
cost of capital reflects the current market situation and in particular the increase in beta factors and debt 
capital.

The table below provides an overview of the parameters versus the previous financial year, underlying the 
determination of the fair values per CGU. Due to a growth phase in the first three planning years, the planning 
period for TUI Musement was extended to five years in order to represent a normalised business. At Marella 
Cruises, the higher growth rate in revenues in the previous financial year is mainly due to an expected add-
ition of a new ship in the planning year 2024. As in the previous year, the EBIT margin has been adjusted for 
deductions of centrally incurred costs The table lists the CGUs to which goodwill has been allocated:

The  fair  values  determined  in  the  sensitivity  analysis  would  have  led  to  an  impairment  requirement  of 
€ 36.0 m in the Hotels & Resorts segment (CGU Robinson) if the WACC had increased by 100 basis points. 
The reduction in the Cash inflow by 10 % would result in an impairment requirement of € 28.8 m in the 
Hotels & Resorts segment (CGU Robinson). With the exception of the impairments presented in the Hotels & 
Resorts  segment,  the  sensitivity  analysis  did  not  reveal  any  further  indications  of  an  additional  need  for 
impairment losses.

Due to existing uncertainties regarding the general increase in prices and interest rated, which could lead to 
a decline in demand for travel services, in connection with possible significantly higher costs for fuel and 
other input factors in the short term, as well as the SBTi risks, which have been described above, and the 
associated effects on the tourism business, an extended analysis of sensitivities was carried out for cash- 
generating  units  with  goodwill.  For  information  on  these  uncertainties,  please  refer  to  the  section  ‘Key 
judgements, assumptions and estimates’. The sensitivity of the effects of the Science Based Target initiative 

(SBTi) is based on the assumption of additional negative effects on earnings or lower costs as expected from 
the planned measures necessary to reach the climate targets. Existing uncertainties for financial year 2023 
as a result of the general increase in prices and the associated fall in demand, the USD development and in 
relation to fuel costs are reflected in the sensitivity of demand and price risks. In addition a corresponding 
positive development in 2023 has been considered. The sensitivities relating to fuel costs are based on the 
assumptions of cost increases or cost reductions for aircraft and cruise ships, considered equally for all plan 
periods. The shown sensitivities and their impact on the fair value result exclusively from the adjustment of 
the individual parameters. Possible compensatory measures such as using derivative financial instruments 
to limit price risks or cost saving measures were not taken into account in the determination. 

Only the increase in fuel prices by 10 % would have led to an impairment of € 9.5 m in the segment Region 
West. The following table provides the effects of the sensitivities on the fair value in the financial year 2022.

were impaired in the previous year. This included € 9.4 m impairment of internally generated software and 
€ 4.8 m of acquired computer software. In addition, software projects presented as intangible assets in the 
course of construction have been impaired by € 17.1 m in the previous year. 

Transport contracts relate to landing rights at airports in the UK purchased and measured during the acqui-
sition of First Choice Holidays Plc in 2007.

The intangible assets in the course of construction amounted to € 172.0 m as at 30 September 2022 (previous 
year € 101.3 m). 

The  impairments  recognised  for  the  financial  year  under  review  totalled  € 7.9 m  (previous  year  € 32.4 m). 
Impairment charges of € 6.7 m relate primarily to purchased computer software and are due to restructuring 
in ‘All other segments’. In the previous year, the COVID-19 pandemic gave impetus on accelerate the digital 
transformation of TUI. Accordingly, local software systems which will be replaced by group wide software 

Due to changes in our strategy and delays in the digital transformation, a realignment for Markets & Airlines 
was applied in the current financial year. With the focus on strategic key elements, the timeframe for imple-
menting the digitization has been adjusted, prompting a review of the useful lives of a number of software 
solutions. Due to the revision the useful life of the affected software systems were extended which reduced 
the amortization by € 8.6 m in the financial year under review. For the financial year 2023 we expect a 
decrease of amortization by € 0.1 m compared with the amount that would have been charged before the 
change in useful life. The extension of the useful life beyond the previous end of useful life will lead to an 
increase in amortisation by € 1.8 m for financial year 2024 and by € 6.9 m for financial year 2025.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
In the previous year, the useful life of individual software systems had been revised based on the acceleration 
of the digital transformation. Due to this revision, the useful life of the affected software systems was short-
ened, which increased the amortisation by € 8.1 m in the previous year.

In the financial year under review, the construction of a new hotel in Mexico, the refurbishment and expan-
sion of a hotel in Zanzibar and the renovation of hotels in Mexico and Cape Verde led to additions to the  
Riu Group totalling € 165.4 m. These investments include an amount of € 112.9 m for assets under construction, 
€ 24.9 m for hotels including land and € 16.8 m for payments in advance. 

The main disposals in the financial year under review include € 157.9 m for the disposal of advance payments 
for  the  delivery  of  aircraft  and  € 13.5 m  for  the  sale  of  aircraft  engines  and  spare  parts.  The  disposal  of 
pre-delivery payments led to additions of property, plant and equipment. Besides that, the disposal of 
aircraft led to additions of right-of-use assets, which were due to sale and leaseback transactions. In this 
context, please refer to the section ‘Right-of-use assets and leases’.

Furthermore, additions of € 120.6 m are due to the purchase of five new aircraft. In the financial year under 
review, sale and leaseback agreements were concluded for four of these aircraft, for which the requirements 
for a sale under IFRS 15 were not met. These aircraft are still recognised under property, plant and equip-
ment. Further additions to aircraft assets include € 16.8 m for spare parts and € 13.2 m for engines.

Further additions to assets under construction include € 35.2 m for investments in cruise ships and € 17.3 m 
for investments in aircraft.

19 7

In the financial year under review, advance payments of € 29.7 m (previous year € 15.0 m) were made for the 
future delivery of aircraft. Additional payments in advance of € 10.1 m (previous year € 10.6 m) related to 
cruise ships. 

The  review  of  the  carrying  amounts  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  resulted  in  impairment  losses  of 
€ 57.2 m in the financial year under review (previous year € 50.7 m). Impairments of € 53.0 m (previous year 
€ 37.9 m) related to hotels including land in the Hotels & Resorts segment. This notably included € 36.2 m 
relating to the demolition of a hotel in Mauritius. Further impairments in the Hotels & Resorts segment 
related to groups of cash-generating units of Robinson, TUI Blue and Magic life. 

The review of the carrying amounts also led to the reversal of impairment losses of € 34.6 m (previous year 
€ 9.1 m). Reversal of impairments of € 19.4 m were attributable to hotels of Robinson and TUI Blue in the 
Hotels & Resorts segment. In addition, reversal of impairments of € 15.2 m were made for two Marella cruise 
ships in the Cruises segment. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
In the previous year, the reclassification of property, plant and equipment to the balance sheet item ‘Assets 
held for sale’ mainly related to the sale of Nordotel to the Grupotel joint venture. In this context, we refer to 
the section ‘Divestments’. Further reclassifications related to the disposal of hotel assets in the Hotels & 
Resorts segment. 

The transfer to property, plant and equipment by reclassifications relate amongst other to carrying amounts 
of previously leased assets carried as right-of-use assets for which purchase options were exercised.

In  financial  year  2022,  no  borrowing  costs  (previous  year  € 0.6 m)  were  capitalised  as  part  of  acquisition 
costs. In the previous year, the capitalisation rate of capitalised borrowing costs was 3.0 % p. a. For informa-
tion on the calculation of the capitalisation rate, please refer to ‘Property, plant and equipment’ in the section 
‘Accounting and measurement methods’. 

The  carrying  amount  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  subject  to  ownership  restrictions  or  pledged  as 
security totals € 611.3 m as at the balance sheet date (previous year € 490.7 m). The increase is mainly attrib-
utable to collaterals of financial liabilities for aircraft and buildings.

(15) Right-of-use assets and leases

As a lessee, TUI recognises right-of-use assets and lease liabilities according to IFRS 16. For more detailed 
information on the use of practical expedients, please refer to the accounting and measurement methods in 
the section ‘Leases’.

T U I   A S   A   L E S S E E 
As a lessee, TUI leases moveable assets such as aircraft, vehicles and cruise ships, as well as property such 
as hotel buildings, land, office buildings and travel agencies. The terms and conditions of the lease agree-
ments  are  individually  negotiated.  Some  of  TUI’s  aircraft  leases  comprise  purchase  or  extension  options. 
Many of TUI’s property leases, in particular for travel agencies and office buildings, contain extension options 
and price adjustment clauses. No residual value guarantees were provided for the leased items.

The development of the right-of-use assets in financial year 2022 is presented in the table below:

Right-of-use assets declined by € 37.7 m year-on-year. Depreciation of € 510.6 m led to a decrease in right-
of-use assets. The reclassification to property, plant and equipment led to a further reduction in right-of-use 
assets of € 11.3 m. In this context, we refer to the section ‘Property, plant and equipment’. 

Information on the associated lease liabilities is provided in Note 32, ‘Financial liabilities and lease liabilities’. 
Details regarding the maturities of the lease payments not yet made at the balance sheet date are shown in 
the section ‘Liquidity risk’ in Note 41 ‘Financial instruments’. 

An opposite effect was caused by additions of € 156.2 m, including an amount of € 142.0 m for the delivery 
of six aircraft (previous year € 343.0 m for the delivery of aircraft and engines) acquired in the framework of 
sale and leaseback transactions. In addition, foreign exchange translation resulted in an increase of right-of-
use assets of € 270.2 m. Changes and remeasurements of existing leases increase right-of-use assets by a 
further € 51.4 m. The increase is primarily driven by a large number of lease extensions for leased aircraft 
(€ 57.1 m) and leased travel agencies (€ 15.2 m). This was partly offset by contract remeasurements relating 
to hotel contracts (€ – 12.9 m).

The reclassification of right-of-use assets to the balance sheet item ‘Assets held for sale’ in the previous year 
related to the sale of Nordotel to the Grupotel joint venture. In this context, we refer to section ‘Divest-
ments’.

183  Notes to the Consolidated 

Income Statement

The expenses from short-term leases in the financial year under review relate in particular to the temporary 
rental of aircraft. The impairment losses of the previous year related primarily to the leased office buildings 
(€ 27.9 m) and to leased hotels (€ 22.4 m). 

Gains from sale and leaseback transactions of € 2.4 m are mainly attributable to aircraft financing. In the 
financial year under review, six newly delivered Boeing B737 Max aircraft were refinanced by means of sale 
and leaseback contracts. As at 30 September 2022, lease liabilities resulting from these transactions totalled 
€ 165.6 m (previous year € 334.6 m). Gains obtained in the previous year of € 7.2 m related to sale and lease-
back transactions for nine newly delivered Boeing B737 Max aircraft and two acquired engines. Moreover, 
sale and leaseback transactions were used for follow-up financing for another aircraft as well as the sale and 
leaseback of one aircraft and eight engines. In addition, the sale and leaseback of a plot of land with buildings 
resulted in a gain from sale and leaseback transactions of € 0.6 m. As at 30 September 2021, lease liabilities 
resulting from that transaction totalled € 24.8 m. 

T U I   A S   L E S S O R
As a lessor, TUI leases or subleases aircraft and, less significantly, space in office buildings and travel agencies. In 
financial  year 2022,  proceeds  from  operating  leases  worth  € 7.8 m  (previous  year  € 2.0 m)  were  carried  in 
revenue. In addition, income from finance leases of € 0.7 m (previous year € 1.0 m) was carried in the interest 
result.

The following table shows the reconciliation from the undiscounted lease payments to the net investment 
for the two subleases classified as finance leases:

At the balance sheet date, unrecognised financial commitments for short-term leases amounted to € 4.3 m 
(previous year € 3.7 m). In addition, potential future lease payments from extension and termination options 
of € 270.3 m (previous year € 259.5 m) were not included in the measurement of the right-of-use assets and 
lease liabilities as it was not reasonably certain that the lease contracts were going to be extended or to be 
terminated.

Due to the increase in the interest rates, the effects of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine and general 
price inflation a risk assessment was performed if indicators for impairments exist. If this was the case the 
carrying amounts of the respective associates and joint ventures concerned were subsequently tested for 
impairment. In addition all carrying amounts of associates and joint ventures which have been impaired in 
before were tested for reversals of impairment. All impairment tests used the business plan of the respec-
tive joint venture or associate. Based on these business plans, the recoverable amount was calculated by 
discounting future net cash flows. In all cases the fair value less cost to sell was higher than the value in use. 
Level 3 inputs of fair value hierarchy were used in the calculations. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The impairments included an amount of € 4.8 m related to the Vitya Holding Co. Ltd. joint venture in Thailand, 
which operates the Robinson Club Khao Lak. An impairment loss of € 3.4 million recognised in 2020 for WOT 
Hotels Adriatic Asset Company d. o. o. was partially reversed. The country-specific discount rates of 8.88 % 
for Thailand and Croatia were applied. Other impairments related to joint ventures in Central Region. Apart 
from that, the same parameters were applied as for the goodwill impairment test in the Hotel & Resorts 
segment (see Note 12).

Unrecognised accumulated losses amounted to € 8.4 m (previous year € 8.2 m). The losses of € 4.6 m carried 
in prior years for TUI’s share in the earnings of Bartu Turizm Yatirimlari AS. were offset by a positive result 
in the period under review. Additional unrecognised losses in the prior year relating to WOT Hotels Vietnam 
increased by € 3.4 m to € 6.9 m in the period under review. Further unrecognised losses of € 1.1 m related to 
Ahungalla Resorts Limited and € 0.4 m to Abou Soma for Hotels S. A. E. The recognition of additional losses 
would have resulted in the carrying amounts falling below nil.

Contingent liabilities of € 6.5 m (previous year € 12.2 m) existed in respect of associates as at 30 Septem-
ber 2022. Contingent liabilities in respect of joint ventures totalled € 3.1 m (previous year € 28.1 m). 

As at 30 September 2022, TUI has recognised deferred sales commissions to travel agencies and other 
distribution channels worth € 63.3 m (previous year € 34.1 m) in respect of costs of obtaining a contract until 
the associated revenue was earned. In the financial year under review, sales commissions worth € 622.5 m 
(previous year € 208.0 m) were recognised in profit and loss.

Security deposits include securities for credit card acquirers as well as securities for touristic advance 
payments received.

During the first quarter of financial year 2021, TUI sold other receivables to a third party and thus derecog-
nised it as all criteria for derecognition were met. The sale resulted in a loss, which is presented as a financial 
expense in the income statement.

(18) Touristic payments on account

Touristic payments on account mainly relate to customary advance payments in respect of future tourism 
services, in particular advance payments made by tour operators for future hotel services. 

In the financial year under review the reversals of impairments recognised through profit or loss for advance 
payments made by tour operators for future hotel services totalled € 33.6 m (previous year expenses from 
impairments € 8.4 m).

Losses carried forward for German companies comprise the cumulative amount of trade tax and corporation 
tax as well as interest carried forward in relation to the German interest barrier rule. Potential tax savings 
totalling € 2,444.6 m (previous year € 2,341.2 m) were not recognised as the underlying losses carried forward 
were not expected to be utilised in the planning horizon. 

In financial year 2022, tax savings of € 0.0 m (previous year € 0.3 m) resulted from the use of tax losses 
carried forward previously not assessed as recoverable for which, therefore, no deferred tax assets had been 
carried as at 30 September 2021 for the potential tax savings resulting from these assets. Tax reductions 
from loss carry-backs (previous year € 0.0 m) were not realised.

No  deferred  tax  assets  are  recognised  for  deductible  temporary  differences  of  € 22.7 m  (previous  year 
€ 179.7 m). 

Development of deferred tax assets from losses carried forward

€ million

No deferred tax liabilities are carried for temporary differences of € 87.2 m (previous year € 75.2 m) between 
the net assets of subsidiaries and the respective taxable carrying amounts of subsidiaries since these 
temporary differences are not expected to be reversed in the near future.

Capitalised deferred tax assets from temporary differences and losses carried forward that are assessed as 
recoverable of € 321.3 m (previous year € 237.2 m) are covered by expected future taxable income even for 
companies that generated losses in the reporting period or the prior year. This is based on the future 
business development planned by TUI’s management. The key points of this planning are presented in the 
section ‘Key judgements, assumptions and estimates’. TUI uses a five-year planning horizon to derive the 
recoverability of tax loss carryforwards and deductible differences.

On 26 August 2022, a contract was signed between TUI Airways Limited and A E Chapman & Son Limited to 
sell the building at Jet Set House (Crawley). Correspondingly, the asset was classified as held for sale. The 
disposal transaction was completed on 3 October 2022. The purchase price payment of £ 6.5 m was made on 
3 October 2022. 

No reclassifications to assets held for sale were effected in the course of the year under review. 

In the previous year, assets from the sale of the Nordotel disposal group were carried as held for sale. The 
disposal transaction was completed on 5 October 2021. The first purchase price payment of € 50.0 m was 
made on 21 September 2021. Further deferred purchase price payments of € 10.2 m and € 20.4 m were origin-
ally due one or two years, respectively, after the closing of the transaction, taking account of final purchase 
price  adjustments.  The  final  purchase  price  adjustment  was  already  effected  in  September  2022.  In  this 
context, we refer to the note 36 ‘Liabilities related to assets held for sale’ and to the section ‘Divestments’.

At 30 September 2022, cash and cash equivalents of € 526.1 m (previous year € 509.0 m) were subject to 
disposition restrictions listed below: 

€ million

On 30 September 2016, TUI AG entered into a long-term agreement to close the gap between the obligations 
and the fund assets of defined benefit pension plans in the UK. At the balance sheet date an amount of 
€ 66.1 m is deposited as security within a bank account. TUI Group can only use that cash and cash equiva-
lents if it provides alternative collateral. 

Furthermore,  an  amount  of  € 116.1 m  (previous  year  € 116.3 m)  was  deposited  with  a  Belgian  subsidiary 
without  acknowledgement  of  debt  by  the  Belgian  tax  authorities  in  financial  year  2013  in  respect  of 
long-standing litigation over VAT refunds for the years 2001 to 2011. The purpose was to suspend the accru-
al of interest for both parties. In order to collateralise a potential repayment, the Belgian government was 
granted a bank guarantee. Due to the bank guarantee, TUI’s ability to dispose of the cash and cash equiva-
lents is restricted. The remaining € 343.9 m (previous year € 346.3 m) subject to restrictions relate to cash 
and cash equivalents to be deposited due to statutory or regulatory requirements mainly in order to secure 
customer deposit and payment service provider.

(24) Subscribed capital

The fully paid subscribed capital of TUI AG consists of no-par value shares, each representing an identical 
share in the capital stock. The proportionate share in the capital stock per no-par value share is € 1.00. As 
the capital stock consists of registered shares, the owners are listed by name in the share register. 

The subscribed capital of TUI AG has been registered in the commercial registers of the district courts of 
Berlin-Charlottenburg and Hanover. In October of the financial year under review, the Company’s capital 
stock of € 1,099,393,634.00, consisting of 1,099,393,634 no-par value registered shares, was increased by the 
issuance of 523,520,778 new no-par value registered shares with a proportionate share in the capital stock 
of around € 1.00 per no-par value share. This increase in capital stock totalling € 523.5 m was carried out 
using the authorizations granted by the Annual General Meeting on 25 March 2021 to issue new registered 
shares against cash contributions by a maximum of € 109.9 m (Authorized Capital 2021 / I) and to issue new 
shares against cash or non-cash contributions totalling € 413.6 m (Authorized Capital 2021 / II) in full from the 
authorized capital.

In May of the financial year under review, the Company’s capital stock of € 1,622,914,412.00, consisting of 
1,622,914,412 no-par value registered shares, was again increased through the issuance of 162,291,441 new 
no-par value registered shares with a proportionate share in the capital stock of around € 1.00. At the end 
of the financial year under review, the subscribed capital therefore consisted of 1,785,205,853 shares, corres-
ponding to € 1,785,205,853.00.

This increase in capital stock in the amount of € 162.3 m was carried out by making partial use of the author-
ization granted by the Annual General Meeting on 8 February 2022 to create authorized capital for the issue 
of new shares against cash or non-cash contributions in the total amount of € 671.0 m (Authorized Capital 
2022 / III).

In accordance with section 71 (1) no. 2 of the German Stock Corporation Act, TUI AG acquired 398,901 own 
shares to issue to employees in the framework of the employee share programme. The 398,901 shares were 
purchased  at  the  stock  exchange  at  € 1.4306  per  share  and  transferred  free  of  charge  to  the  employees 
participating in the program on 30 September 2022. The shares represent a capital stock of € 398,901.00, i. e. 
<0.025 % of the capital stock, and an acquisition volume of € 0.6 m. As at 30 September 2022, TUI AG did not 
hold any own shares.

C O N D I T I O N A L   C A P I TA L
The Annual General Meeting on 9 February 2016 had created conditional capital of € 150.0 m for the issuance 
of bonds. The authorisation to acquire bonds with conversion or option rights or obligations or profit partici-
pation  rights  (with  or  without  a  fixed  term)  was  limited  to  a  nominal  amount  of  € 2.0 bn  and  expired  on 
8 February 2021. This authorisation was fully utilised with the issuance of a bond with warrants totalling 
€ 150.0 m to the Economic Stabilisation Fund (ESF) in October 2020. As at the reporting date, the ESF had 
not yet exercised its warrants.

The Extraordinary General Meeting on 5 January 2021 resolved to create conditional capital of € 420.0 m in 
order to grant the ESF the right to convert ESF’s asset contribution in the form of a silent participation of 
€ 420.0 m (‘Silent Participation I’) at any time (in a single or several transactions) in full or in part into up to 
420 m new no-par value registered shares with a proportionate share in the capital stock of € 1.00 per no-par 
value share. The new shares will be issued at the minimum issuance amount of € 1.00. At the balance sheet 
date, the ESF had not yet exercised its conversion right. 

The Annual General Meeting on 25 March 2021 resolved to create conditional capital for the issuance of 
bonds totalling € 109.9 m. The authorisation to acquire bonds with conversion or option rights or obligations 
or profit participation rights (with or without a fixed term) was limited to a nominal amount of € 2.0 bn and 
expires on 24 March 2026. This authorisation was fully utilised with the issuance of a convertible bond 
totalling € 589.6 m in April and June 2021. As at the reporting date, no shares had been issued to serve the 
convertible bond.

The  Annual  General  Meeting  on 8  February  2022  resolved  to  create  two  further  amounts  of  conditional 
capital  for  the  issuance  of  bonds  worth  € 162.3 m  and  € 81.1 m.  The  authorisation  to  acquire  bonds  with 
conversion or option rights or obligations or profit participation rights (with or without a fixed term) was 
limited to a nominal amount of € 2.0 bn and expires on 7 February 2027. 

As of 30 September 2022, unused option and conversion rights of issued bonds with warrants and convert-
ible bonds will result in conditional capital of € 588.6 m. As of 30 September 2022 TUI AG also has unused 
conditional capital of € 243.4 m, resulting in total unused conditional capital of € 832.0 m.

A U T H O R I S E D   C A P I TA L 
The Annual General Meeting on 13 February 2018 resolved to create authorised capital of € 30.0 m for the 
issuance of employee shares. The Executive Board of TUI AG has been authorised to use this capital in one 
or several transactions to issue employee shares against cash contribution by 12 February 2023. No new 
employee shares were issued in the completed financial year so that authorised capital at the balance sheet 
date remains at around € 22.3 m. 

The Annual General Meeting on 25 March 2021 resolved to authorise the Executive Board to issue new regis-
tered shares against cash contribution by up to € 109.9 m (Authorised Capital 2021 / I). This authorisation will 
expire on 24 March 2026. 

The Annual General Meeting on 25 March 2021 also resolved to create authorised capital for the issuance of 
new shares against cash or non-cash contribution of € 417.0 m (Authorised Capital 2021 / II). The issuance of 
new  shares  against  non-cash  contribution  is  limited  to  € 109.9 m.  This  authorisation  will  expire  on 
24 March 2026. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
In the completed financial year, the two last-mentioned authorisations were utilised to increase the capital 
stock by € 523.5 m. In addition, the authorisation for the remaining part of Authorised Capital 2021 / II in the 
amount of € 3.4 m was subsequently cancelled.

The  ancillary  costs  of  the  capital  increase  in  October  2021  (€ 27.3 m),  the  capital  increase  in  May  2022 
(€ 5.9 m) and in connection with the silent participation issued in financial year 2021 (€ 2.1 m) were offset 
against the capital reserve.

The Annual General Meeting on 8 February 2022 resolved to authorise the Executive Board to issue new 
registered shares against cash contributions for up to a maximum of € 162.3 m (Authorised Capital 2022 / I). 
This authorisation will expire on 7 February 2027. 

The capital reserve also decreased by € 0.6 m as a result of the repurchase of own shares for issue to 
employees under the employee share program.

The Annual General Meeting on 8 February 2022 also resolved to create authorised capital for the issuance 
of new shares against cash and non-cash contribution of € 626.9 m (Authorised Capital 2022 / II). The issuance 
of new shares against non-cash contributions is limited to € 162.3 m. The authorisation for this capital will 
expire on 7 February 2027. 

The Annual General Meeting on 8 February 2022 furthermore resolved to create authorised capital for the 
issuance of new shares against cash or non-cash contribution of € 671.0 m. The net issuance proceeds are 
exclusively to be used to repay the capital made available to TUI AG by the ESF in the framework of Silent 
Particpation II of € 671.0 m (Authorised Capital 2022 / III). The authorisation for this authorised capital will 
expire on 7 February 2027. In May of the completed financial year, the Company’s capital stock was increased 
by € 162.3 m, utilising a part of Authorised Capital III, and the proceeds were used to fully repay Silent 
Participation II.

At  the  balance  sheet  date,  the  total  authorisations  for  unused  authorised  capital  amounted  to  around 
€ 1,320.2 m (previous year around € 549.2 m), of which € 508.7 m can no longer be used due to the repayment 
of Silent Participation II.

(25) Capital reserves

The capital reserves comprise transfers of premiums. They also comprise amounts entitling the holders to 
acquire shares in TUI AG in the framework of bonds issued for conversion options and warrants. 

In the completed financial year, capital reserves rose by € 836.3 m from € 5,249.6 m to € 6,085.9 m, in particular 
due to the premium from the capital increases in October 2021 (€ 609.3 m) and in May 2022 (€ 262.9 m).

(26) Revenue reserves

In the completed financial year, TUI AG did not pay a dividend to its shareholders (previous year no dividend). 

The  ongoing  recording  of  existing  equity-settled  stock  option  plans  resulted  in  an  decrease  in  equity  of 
€ 0.2 m (previous year increase € 0.3 m) in the reporting period. Disclosures on these long-term incentive 
programmes are outlined in the section on Share-based payments in accordance with IFRS 2. 

Foreign exchange differences comprise differences from the translation of the financial statements of 
foreign subsidiaries as well as differences from the translation of goodwill denominated in foreign currencies. 

The proportion of gains and losses from hedges used as effective hedges of future cash flows is carried 
directly in equity at €+ 110.7 m (previous year €+ 144.0 m). The increase in financial year 2022 is mainly attrib-
utable to changes in exchange rates and fuel prices. 

The revaluation of pension obligations (in particular actuarial gains or losses) is also carried directly in Other 
income in equity.

The revaluation reserve formed in accordance with IAS 27 (old version) in the framework of step acquisitions 
of companies is retained until the date of deconsolidation of the company concerned.

(27) Silent participations

In financial year 2021, two silent participations were issued to the ESF. They are both carried in equity in the 
consolidated financial statements as of 30 September 2021 in accordance with IAS 32.

The Silent participation II in the amount of € 671.0 m was fully repaid in May 2022. 

As in the previous year, the remaining Silent participation I is carried in equity in the consolidated financial 
statements as of 30 September 2022.

(28) Use of Group profit available for distribution 

In accordance with the German Stock Corporation Act, the Annual General Meeting resolves the use of the 
profit available for distribution carried in TUI AG’s commercial-law annual financial statements. TUI AG’s loss 
for the year amounts to € 530.9 m (previous year loss of € 491.5 m). Taking account of loss carried forward of 
€ 300.6 m (previous year profit carried forward € 190.9 m) TUI AG’s balance sheet loss totals € 831.5 m.

(30) Pension provisions and similar obligations

A number of defined contribution and defined benefit pension plans are operated for Group employees. 
Pension  obligations  vary,  reflecting  the  different  legal,  fiscal  and  economic  conditions  in  each  country  of 
operation, and usually depend on employees’ length of service and pay levels. 

All defined contribution plans are funded by the payment of contributions to external insurance companies 
or funds. German employees enjoy benefits from a statutory defined contribution plan paying pensions as a 
function of employees’ income and the contributions paid in. Several additional industry pension organisa-
tions  exist  for  TUI  Group  companies.  Once  the  contributions  to  the  state-run  pension  plans  and  private 
pension insurance organisations have been paid, the Company has no further payment obligations. Apart 
from Germany, major defined contribution plans are also operated the Netherlands and in the UK. Contribu-
tions  paid  are  expensed  for  the  respective  period.  In  the  reporting  period,  the  expenses  for  all  defined 
contribution plans totalled € 80.5 m (previous year € 77.1 m).

Apart from these defined contribution pension plans, TUI Group operates defined benefit plans, which usually 
entail the formation of provisions within the Company or investments in funds outside the Company.

Within  this  group,  MER-Pensionskasse  VVaG,  a  private  pension  fund  in  which  German  companies  of  the 
tourism  industry  are  organised,  represents  a  multi-employer  plan  classified  as  a  defined  benefit  plan.  In 
accordance with the statues of the plan, the plan participants and the employers pay salary-based contribu-
tions  into  the  plan.  There  are  no  further  obligations  pursuant  to  the  statutes  of  the  plan;  an  additional 
funding obligation of the participating companies is explicitly excluded. The paid-in contributions are invest-
ed in accordance with the policies of the pension plan unless they are used in the short term for benefit 
payments. As the investments are pooled and are not kept separately for each participating employer, an 
allocation of plan assets to individual participating employers is not possible. The investment risk and the 
mortality risk are jointly shared by all plan participants. Moreover, the pension fund does not provide any 
information to participating companies that would allow the allocation of any over- or underfunding or TUI’s 
participation in the plan. For this reason, accounting for the plan as defined benefit plan is not possible, and 
the plan is therefore in accordance with the requirements of IAS 19 shown like a defined contribution plan. 
In the reporting period, contributions to MER-Pensionskasse VVaG totalled € 5.6 m (previous year € 5.9 m). 
For the next financial year, contributions are expected to remain at that level.

TUI Group’s major pension plans recognised as defined benefit plans exist in Germany and the UK. By far the 
largest  pension  plans  are  operated  by  the  Group’s  tour  operators  in  the  UK.  They  accounted  for  68.2 % 
(previous year 72.6 %) of TUI Group’s total obligations at the balance sheet date. German plans account for 
a further 25.6 % (previous year 23.0 %).

Since 31 October 2018, the main sections of TUI Group’s UK Pension Trust have been closed to future accrual 
of benefits. As a result, current service cost no longer arises for services delivered by the employees. Since 
1 November 2018, increases in accrued pension benefits from the plan have been therefore calculated in line 
with the rules for deferred members. With the closure of the Pension Trust for future accrual, all existing 
staff in the defined benefit scheme were offered the opportunity to join the existing defined contribution 
plan to accrue pension from 1 November 2018 onwards. 

By contrast, defined benefit plans in Germany are mainly unfunded and the obligations from these plans are 
recognised as provisions. The company assumes the obligation for payments of company pensions when the 
beneficiaries reach the legal retirement age. The amount of the pension paid usually depends either on the 
remuneration received by the employee at the retirement date or the amount of the average remuneration 
over the employee’s service period. Pension obligations usually include surviving dependants’ benefits and 
invalidity benefits. Pension payments are partly limited by third party compensations, e. g. from insurances 
and MER–Pensionskasse.

In the period under review, defined benefit pension obligations created total expenses of € 65.3 m for TUI 
Group, principally comprising current service cost. The restructuring of the activities of the Group’s German 
airline resulted in a past service cost and a curtailment expense in the current year. In the previous year, this 
measure  resulted  in  income  from  curtailments.  The  administrative  costs  shown  are  costs  for  consulting 
services for pension plans, which were paid from the plan assets. The administrative expenses shown relate 
to professional advisor costs for the pension plans settled from the plan assets.

Almost all defined benefit plans in the UK are funded externally. Under UK law, the employer is obliged to 
ensure sufficient funding so that plan assets cover the pension payments to be made and the administrative 
costs of the funds. The pension funds are managed by independent trustees. The trustees comprise inde-
pendent members, beneficiaries of the plan and employer representatives. The trustees are responsible for 
the investment of fund assets, taking account of the interests of plan members, but they also negotiate the 
level of the contributions to the fund to be paid by the employers, which constitute minimum contributions 
to the funds. To that end, actuarial valuations are made every three years by actuaries commissioned by the 
trustees. The annual contributions to be paid to the funds in order to cover any shortfalls were last defined 
on the basis of the measurement as at 30 September 2019.

Provisions for pension obligations are established for benefits payable in the form of retirement, invalidity 
and  surviving  dependants’  benefits.  Provisions  are  exclusively  formed  for  defined  benefit  schemes  under 
which the Company guarantees employees a specific pension level, including arrangements for early retire-
ment and temporary assistance benefits.

Where plan assets exceed funded pension obligations, taking account of a difference due to past service 
cost, and where at the same time there is an entitlement to reimbursement or reduction of future contribu-
tions to the fund, the excess is recognised in conformity with the cap defined by IAS 19. As at 30 Septem-
ber 2022, other non-financial assets include excesses of € 163.4 m (previous year € 137.1 m).

The net defined benefit obligation decreased by € 360.1 m to € 437.9 m in the financial year under review. The 
present value of the obligation decreased by a total of € 1,455.8 m compared to the previous year, mainly due 
to an increase in discount rates in the euro area and the United Kingdom. The fair value of the plan assets 
decreased as well by € 1,095.7 m. As the pension fund’s assets in the United Kingdom also include instru-
ments that are intended to hedge changes in interest rates, the assets decrease in line with the decreased 
obligation when interest rates rise.

In order to limit the risk arising from the obligation, the trustees of the UK pension plans acquired insurance 
policies in the previous fiscal year securitising full reimbursement by insurers of the payments to be made 
for parts of the existing obligations. The obligation to fulfill the pension commitment has not been assumed 
by the insurer in this transaction. Accordingly, the insured portions of the pension plan continue to be rec-
ognised in the financial statements.

At the balance sheet date, as in the prior year, fund assets did not comprise any direct investments in financial 
instruments  issued  by  TUI  AG  or  its  consolidated  subsidiaries  or  any  property  owned  by  the  Group.  For 
funded plans, investments in passive index tracker funds may entail a proportionate investment in Group-
owned financial instruments. 

Pension obligations are measured on the basis of actuarial calculations based on country-specific parame-
ters and assumptions. The obligations under defined benefit plans are calculated on the basis of the inter-
nationally accepted projected unit credit method, taking account of expected future increases in salaries and 
pensions. For the pension plans in the UK, expected increases in salaries are not taken into account as they 
are no longer relevant for the measurement due to the plan amendment outlined above. In order to take 
account of the currently high inflation, significantly higher pension trends have been applied for the next 
scheduled pension adjustment for the German pension plans in deviation from the projected future pension 
increases indicated below for Germany.

The weighted average duration of the defined benefit obligations totalled 15.8 years (previous year 19.4 years) 
for the overall Group. In the UK, the weighted duration was 16.2 years (previous year 19.8 years), while it 
stood at 15.4 years (previous year 19.4 years) in Germany.

Fund assets are determined on the basis of the fair values of the funds invested as at 30 September 2022. 
The interest rate used to determine the interest income from the assets of external funds is identical with 
the discount rate used for the defined benefit obligation. 

The interest  rate applicable in discounting the provision for pensions is based on an index for corporate 
bonds adjusted for securities already downgraded and under observation by rating agencies as well as sub-
ordinate bonds in order to meet the criterion for high quality bonds (rated AA or higher) required under 
IAS  19.  The  resulting  yield  structure  is  extrapolated  on  the  basis  of  the  yield  curves  for  almost  risk-free 
bonds, taking account of an appropriate risk mark-up reflecting the term of the obligation. In order to cover 
a  correspondingly  broad  market,  an  index  partly  based  on  shorter-term  bonds  is  used  (for  instance  for 
Eurozone bonds from the iBoxx € Corporates AA 10+ and iBoxx € Corporates AA 7 – 10). 

For the forthcoming financial year, the companies of TUI Group are expected to contribute around € 104.4 m 
(previous  year  € 137.2 m)  to  pension  funds  and  pay  pensions  worth  € 33.1 m  (previous  year  € 33.2 m)  for 
unfunded  plans.  The  expected  employer  contribution  to  the  pension  funds  mainly  includes  the  annual 
payment agreed with the trustees in the UK to reduce the existing coverage shortfall. For funded plans, the 
payments to the recipients are fully made from fund assets and therefore do not result in a cash outflow for 
TUI Group.

TUI Group’s defined benefit plans entail various risks; some of which may have a substantial effect on the 
Company. The purchase of insurance policies within the  UK schemes serves to eliminate these risks in 
respect of the liabilities due to pension scheme members covered by this insurance, and hence reduce the 
overall level of risk in respect of all the categories detailed below.

Apart from the parameters described above, a further key assumption relates to life expectancy. In Germany, 
the Heubeck reference tables 2018 G are used to determine life expectancy. In the UK, the S3NxA base tables 
are used, adjusted to future expected increases on the basis of the Continuous Mortality Investigation (CMI) 
2021. The pension in payment escalation formulae depend primarily on the pension plan concerned. Apart 
from fixed rates of increase, there are also a number of inflation-linked pension adjustment mechanisms in 
different countries. 

Changes in the key actuarial assumptions mentioned above would lead to the changes in defined benefit 
obligations presented below. The methodology used to determine sensitivity corresponds to the method 
used to calculate the defined benefit obligation. The assumptions were amended in isolation each time; 
actual interdependencies between the assumptions were not taken into account. The effect of the increase 
in life expectancy by one year is calculated by means of a reduction in mortality due to the use of the Heubeck 
tables 2018 G for pension plans in Germany. In the UK, an extra year is added to the life expectancy deter-
mined on the basis of the mortality tables.

I N V E S T M E N T   R I S K
The investment risk plays a major role, in particular for the large funded plans in the UK. Although shares 
usually outperform bonds in terms of producing higher returns, they also entail stronger volatility of balance 
sheet items and the risk of short-term shortfalls in coverage. In order to limit this risk, the trustees have built 
a balanced investment portfolio to limit the concentration of risks.

I N T E R E S T   R AT E   R I S K
The interest rate influences in particular unfunded schemes in Germany as a decline in interest rates leads 
to an increase in the defined benefit obligations. Accordingly, an increase in the interest rate leads to a 
reduction in the defined benefit obligations. Funded plans are less strongly affected by this development as 
the performance of the interest-bearing assets included in plan assets regularly dampens the effects. For 
the funded plans in the UK, the trustees have invested a part of the plan assets in liability-driven investment 
portfolios, holding credit and hedging instruments in order to largely offset the impact of changes in interest 
rates.

I N F L AT I O N   R I S K
An  increase  in  the  inflation  rate  normally  increases  the  obligation  in  pension  schemes  linked  to  the  final 
salary of beneficiaries as inflation causes an increase in the projected salary increases. At the same time, 
inflation-based pension increases included in the plan also rise. The inflation risk is reduced through the use 
of  caps  and  collars.  Moreover,  the  large  pension  funds  in  the  UK  hold  inflation-linked  assets,  which  also 
partly reduce the risk from a significant rise in inflation. By investing, in particular, plan assets in liability- 
driven investment portfolios, which hold credit and hedging instruments, they aim to largely offset the 
impact of the inflation rate. 

L O N G E V I T Y   R I S K
An increasing life expectancy increases the expected benefit duration of the pension obligation. This risk is 
countered by using regularly updated mortality data in calculating the present values of the obligation.

C U R R E N C Y   R I S K
For TUI Group, the pension schemes entail a currency risk as most pension schemes are operated in the UK 
and therefore denominated in sterling. The risk is limited as the currency effects on the obligation and the 
assets partly offset each other. The currency risk only relates to any excess of pension obligations over plan 
assets or vice versa.

* Reclassifications, transfers, exchange differences and changes in the group of consolidated companies. 

Provisions for maintenance primarily relate to contractual maintenance, overhaul and repair requirements 
for aircraft, engines and other specific components arising from aircraft lease contracts. Measurement of 
these provisions is based on the expected cost of the next maintenance event, estimated on the basis of 
current prices, expected price increases and manufacturers’ data sheets. In line with the terms of the indi-
vidual contracts and the aircraft model concerned, additions are recognised on a prorated basis in relation 
to flight hours, the number of flights or the length of the complete maintenance cycle. With the termination 
of  an  aircraft  lease,  the  associated  guarantee  agreement  in  the  amount  of  € 13.1 m  was  reversed.  Lower 
maintenance expenses than expected led also to a reversal of € 18.5 m.

Restructuring  provisions  comprise  severance  payments  to  employees  as  well  as  payments  for  the  early 
termination of leases. They primarily relate to restructuring projects as part of our Global Realignment Pro-
gramme  for  which  detailed,  formal  restructuring  plans  were  drawn  up  and  communicated  to  the  parties 
concerned. The reversal of the provision in the amount of € 42.5 m is mainly due to the lower than expected 
reduction in the fleet size of the Group’s German airline. At the balance sheet date, restructuring provisions 
totalled € 88.3 m (previous year € 157.4 m), for the most part relating to benefits for employees in connection 
with the termination of employment contracts. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
CONTENTS

Provisions for litigation are formed for existing lawsuits. For further details on lawsuits, please refer to Note 38.

Provisions for personnel costs comprise provisions for jubilee benefits and provisions for cash-settled 
share-based  payment  schemes  in  accordance  with  IFRS  2.  For  information  on  these  long-term  incentive 
programmes, please refer to Note 40 ‘Share-based payments in accordance with IFRS 2’.

Provisions for environmental protection primarily relate to statutory obligations to remediate sites contam-
inated with legacy waste from former mining and metallurgical activities. Due to the absence of risks existing 
in previous years, the provision of € 17.2 m was reversed.

Provisions from onerous contracts include € 15.3 m for the premature abandonment of a leased administrative 
building as the largest single item.

Miscellaneous provisions include various provisions that, taken individually, do not have a significant influence 
on TUI Group’s economic position. This item includes provisions for dismantling obligations and compensation 
claims from customers.

Changes in other provisions outside profit and loss primarily relate to changes in the group of consolidated 
companies, foreign exchange differences and reclassifications within other provisions. 

Where the difference between the present value and the settlement value of a provision is material for the 
measurement  of  a  non-current  provision  as  at  the  balance  sheet  date,  the  provision  is  recognised  at  its 
present value in accordance with IAS 37. The discount rate to be applied should take account of the specific 
risks  of  the  liability  and  of  future  price  increases.  This  criterion  applies  to  some  items  contained  in  TUI 
Group’s other provisions. Additions to other provisions comprise an interest portion of € 10.1 m (previous 
year € – 0.7 m), recognised as an interest expense.

Non-current financial liabilities decreased by € 1,304.7 m to € 1,731.4 m versus 30 September 2021. This 
decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in liabilities to banks of € 1,262.4 m as well as to a contrac-
tually agreed early redemption of 913 partial option bonds on 1 April 2022. Of this amount, € 91.3 m is 
accounted for by the nominal value of the partial option bonds and € 7.2 m by interest and early repayment 
penalties. The remaining 587 partial bonds shown under non-current financial liabilities are not affected by 
the early redemption, nor are the approx. 58.7 m call options on TUI shares, which are legally and financially 
separated from the warrant bond. The bond component of this bond with warrants is carried under Financial 
liabilities in the table above in the line Bonds, the separately tradable warrants are recognised in equity. The 
early termination rights by TUI AG and the put options held by the holders of the convertible bond and the 
bond with warrant represent embedded derivatives which were not separated in accordance with IFRS 9 as 
they are classified as closely related to the host contract.

The main financing instrument is a syndicated revolving credit facility (RCF) between TUI AG and the existing 
banking syndicate which, from 2020, included the KfW. The amount of this revolving credit facility totals 
€ 3.555 bn at 30 September 2022. The unused loan commitments under the separate KfW credit line within 
this syndicated revolving credit facility were reduced by € 413.7 m in April 2022 as well as by € 336.0 m in May. 
In June 2022, a British bank left the group of syndicated banks for regulatory reasons which led to a reduction 
in the volume of the syndicated revolving credit facility of € 80.6 m.

In  addition,  there  was  a  separate  syndicated  revolving  credit  facility  of  € 170.0 m.  This  credit  facility  was 
fully cancelled in April 2022.

At 30 September 2022, the amounts drawn under the revolving credit facilities totalled € 562.0 m (30 Sep-
tember 2021 € 1,852.9 m).

Current financial liabilities increased by € 35.3 m to € 319.9 m at 30 September 2022 compared to € 284.6 m 
at 30 September 2021. The increase results primarily from an increase in liabilities to banks.

For more details on the terms, conditions and the reductions of the credit lines as well as the redemption of 
the bond with warrants, please refer to the section ’Going Concern Reporting under the UK Corporate 
Governance Code’.

Apart from the immediate cash refund option in certain jurisdictions, TUI Group offers its customers voucher /  
refund credits for trips cancelled because of the COVID-19 crisis. If these voucher / refund credits are not 
used for future bookings within a specified period, the customer is entitled to a refund of the voucher value. 
The entitlement to a refund of the voucher value represents a financial liability. As at 30 September 2022 the 
touristic advance payments received do not include any advance payments (previous year € 2.4 m) for can-
celled trips for which customers have received voucher / refund credits which may have to be refunded after 
a certain period of time.

(36) Liabilities related to assets held for sale

As at 30 September 2022, contingent liabilities amounted to € 93.5 m (previous year € 128.7 m, adjusted). 
They are mainly attributable to the granting of guarantees for the benefit of hotel activities and the granting 
of guarantees for contingent liabilities from aircraft leasing agreements. The contingent liabilities are reported 
at an amount representing the best estimate of the expenditure required to meet the potential obligation at 
the balance sheet date.

(38) Litigation

TUI AG and its subsidiaries are involved in several pending or foreseeable court or arbitration proceedings, 
which do not have a significant impact on their economic position as at 30 September 2022 or future periods. 
This also applies to actions claiming warranty, repayment or any other compensation in connection with 
the divestment of subsidiaries and business units over the past few years. As in previous years, the Group 
recognised adequate provisions, partly covered by expected insurance benefits, to cover all probable financial 
charges from court or arbitration proceedings.

As at 30 September 2021, liabilities related to assets held for sale amounted to € 50.6 m. These liabilities 
exclusively related to the Nordotel disposal group. In this context, we refer to Note 23 ‘Assets held for sale’ 
and the section ‘Divestments’. 

As at 30 September 2022 order commitments in respect of capital expenditure decreased by € 94.7 m as 
against 30 September 2021. The decrease in order commitments is attributed to delivery of aircraft. The 
reduction is to a greater extent partially off set by the effects of foreign exchange for order commitments 
denominated in non-functional currencies. The commitments for maintenance and repairs reported within 
other financial commitments increased in particular in the Hotels & Resorts segment after the business 
returned to normality.

Since the 2020 financial year, the Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) consists of a programme based on phantom 
shares and is measured over a period of four years (performance reference period). The phantom shares are 
allocated in annual tranches.

All Executive Board members have their individual target amounts defined in their service contracts. At the 
beginning  of  each  financial  year,  this  target  amount  is  translated  into  a  preliminary  number  of  phantom 
shares based on the target amount. It constitutes the basis for the determination of the performance-related 
pay  after  the  end  of  the  performance  reference  period.  In  order  to  determine  that  number,  the  target 
amount is divided by the average Xetra share price of TUI AG shares during the 20 trading days prior to the 
beginning of the performance reference period (1 October of any one year). The entitlement under the long-
term incentive programme arises upon completion of the four-year performance reference period subject to 
the application of the remuneration restrictions (see below 1.3) and is subject to attainment of the relevant 
target. 

The performance target for determining the amount of the final payout after the end of the performance 
reference period is the average development over four years of the earning per share based on a pro-forma 
adjusted EPS from continuing operations (Earnings per Share – EPS) as reported in the annual report of the 
company. The average development of EPS per annum (in percent) is derived from the four equally weighted 
yearly EPS development values (in percent). Each yearly EPS development value is calculated as the quotient 
of the EPS of the current financial year and the EPS of the previous financial year. The initial EPS value used 
to determine the target achievement is calculated at the beginning of the performance period from the first 
EPS in the performance period and the last EPS before the performance period.

Target achievement for the average development of EPS per annum based on the annual amounts is deter-
mined as follows:

•  An average absolute EPS of less than 50 % of the absolute EPS value determined at the beginning of the 

performance period corresponds to target achievement of 0 %.

•  An average absolute EPS of 50 % of the absolute EPS value determined at the beginning of the perform-

ance period corresponds to target achievement of 25 %.

•  An average absolute EPS of 50 % or more of the absolute EPS value determined at the beginning of the 
performance period up to an average increase of 5 % corresponds to target achievement of 25 % to 100 %.

2 2 1

•  An average increase of 5 % p. a. corresponds to target achievement of 100 %.

•  An average increase of 5 % to 10 % p. a. corresponds to target achievement of 100 % to 175 %.
•  An average increase of 10 % or more p. a. corresponds to target achievement of 175 %.

For an average absolute EPS of 50 % or more of the absolute EPS value determined at the beginning of the 
performance period up to an average increase of 5 %, corresponding to a target achievement of 25 % to 
100 %,  and  an  average  increase  of  5 %  to  10 %  p. a.,  corresponding  to  a  target  achievement  of  100 %  to 
175 %,  linear  interpolation  is  used  to  determine  the  degree  of  target  achievement.  The  degree  of  target 
achievement is rounded to two decimal places, as is customary in commercial practice.

If the prior-year EPS amounts to less than € 0.50, the Supervisory Board defines new absolute targets for 
EPS as well as minimum and maximum amounts for determining the percentage target achievement for each 
subsequent financial year in the performance reference period.

In order to determine the final number of phantom shares, the degree of target achievement is multiplied by 
the preliminary number of phantom shares on the final day of the performance reference period. The payout 
amount is determined by multiplying the final number of phantom shares by the average Xetra share price 
of TUI AG shares over the 20 trading days prior to the end of the performance reference period (30 September 
of any one year). The payout amount determined in this way subject to the application of the remuneration 
restrictions is paid out in the month of the approval and audit of TUI Group’s annual financial statements for 
the relevant financial year. If the service contract begins or ends in the course of the financial year relevant 
for the allocation of the LTIP, the entitlement to payment of the LTIP is determined on a pro rata basis.

In case of a capital increase from company funds, the number of preliminary phantom shares would increase 
at the same ratio as the nominal value of the share capital. In case of a capital decrease without return of 
capital, the number of preliminary phantom shares would decrease at the same ratio as the nominal value 
of  the  share  capital.  In  case  of  a  capital  increase  against  contributions,  a  capital  decrease  with  return  of 
capital or any other capital or structural measures that have an effect on the share capital and cause a 
material change in the value of the TUI AG share, the number of preliminary phantom shares would also be 
adjusted. The Supervisory Board is entitled, at reasonable discretion, to make adjustments to neutralize any 
negative  or  positive  effects  from  such  capital  or  structural  measures.  The  same  rule  applies  in  case  of  a 
change in share price due to the payment of an unusually high superdividend.

The maximum LTIP payout is capped at 240 % of the individual target amount for each performance reference 
period. This means that there is an annual LTIP cap which is determined individually for each Executive Board 
member. The Supervisory Board is furthermore, according to section 87 para. 1 cl. 3 German stock corporation 
law, authorized to cap the LTIP payout in case of extraordinary circumstances (e. g. company mergers, segment 
disposals, recognition of hidden reserves or external influences).

The LTIP with allocation in the 2019 financial year consists of a phantom share-based programme and has 
been measured over a duration of four years (performance reference period) upon achievement of a total 
shareholder return (TSR) target and an earnings per share (EPS) target. The phantom shares are allocated 
in annual tranches.

All Executive Board members have their individual target amounts defined in their service contracts. At the 
beginning  of  each  financial  year,  this  target  amount  is  translated  into  a  preliminary  number  of  phantom 
shares based on the target amount. It constitutes the basis for the determination of the performance-related 
pay  after  the  end  of  the  performance  reference  period.  In  order  to  determine  that  number,  the  target 
amount is divided by the average Xetra share price of TUI AG shares during the 20 trading days prior to the 
beginning of the performance reference period (1 October of any one year). The entitlement under the long-
term  incentive  programme  arises  upon  completion  of  the  four-year  performance  reference  period  and  is 
subject to attainment of the relevant target. 

The performance target for determining the amount of the final payout after the end of the performance 
reference period is the development of TSR of TUI AG relative to the development of the TSR of the STOXX 
Europe 600 Travel & Leisure (Index). The relative TSR is included in the determination of target achievement 
with a weighting of 50 %. The degree of target achievement is determined as a function of TUI AG’s TSR rank 
in comparison with the TSR ranks of the index companies over the performance reference period. In order 
to determine TUI AG’s relative TSR, the TSR ranks established for TUI’s peer companies are sorted in 
descending order. TUI AG’s relative TSR is expressed as a percentile (percentile rank).

The TSR is the aggregate of all share price increases plus the gross dividends paid over the performance 
reference period. Data from recognised data providers (e. g. Bloomberg, Thomson Reuters) is used to estab-
lish the TSR ranks for TUI AG and the index companies. The reference used to determine the ranks is the 
composition of the index on the last day of the performance reference period. The values for companies that 
were not listed over the entire performance reference period are factored in on a pro rata basis. The degree 
of target achievement (in percent) is established as follows for TUI AG’s relative TSR based on the percentile:

•  A percentile below the median of the index corresponds to target achievement of 0 %.
•  A percentile equal to the median corresponds to target achievement of 100 %.
•  A percentile constituting the maximum value corresponds to target achievement of 175 %.

For a percentile between the median and the maximum value, linear interpolation is used to determine the 
degree of target achievement at between 100 % and 175 %. The degree of target achievement is rounded to 
two decimal places, as is customary in commercial practice. 

Moreover, the average development of EPS per annum is included in the LTIP as an additional Group indicator 
with  a  weighting  of  50 %.  The  averages  determined  for  the  four-year  performance  reference  period  are 
based on pro forma underlying earnings per share from continuing operations, as already reported in the 
Annual Report.

Target achievement for the average development of EPS per annum based on the annual amounts is deter-
mined as follows:

•  An average increase of less than 3 % p. a. corresponds to target achievement of 0 %.
•  An average increase of 3 % p. a. corresponds to target achievement of 25 %.
•  An average increase of 5 % p. a. corresponds to target achievement of 100 %.
•  An average increase of 10 % or more p. a. corresponds to target achievement of 175 %.

For an average increase of 3 % to 5 % p. a., linear interpolation is used to determine the degree of target 
achievement at between 25 % and 100 %. Linear interpolation is used for an average increase of between 
5 % and 10 % or more p. a. to determine target achievement at between 100 % and 175 %. Here, too, the 
degree of target achievement is rounded to two decimal places, as is customary in commercial practice. 

If the prior-year EPS amounts to less than € 0.50, the Supervisory Board defines new absolute targets for 
EPS as well as minimum and maximum amounts for determining the percentage target achievement for each 
subsequent financial year in the performance reference period.

The degree of target achievement (in percent) is calculated from the average target achievement for the 
performance targets ‘relative TSR of TUI AG’ and ‘EPS’. In order to determine the final number of phantom 
shares, the degree of target achievement is multiplied by the preliminary number of phantom shares on the 
final day of the performance reference period. The payout amount is determined by multiplying the final 
number of phantom shares by the average Xetra share price of TUI AG shares over the 20 trading days prior 
to the end of the performance reference period (30 September of any one year). The payout amount deter-
mined in this way is paid out in the month of the approval and audit of TUI Group’s annual financial state-
ments for the relevant financial year. If the service contract begins or ends in the course of the financial year 
relevant for the allocation of the LTIP, the entitlement to payment of the LTIP is determined on a pro rata 
basis.

The maximum LTIP payout is capped at 240 % of the individual target amount for each performance refer-
ence period. This means that there is an annual LTIP cap which is determined individually for each Executive 
Board member.

On 4 January 2021, TUI AG concluded a framework agreement with the Economic Stabilisation Fund on the 
granting  of  stabilisation  measures,  fixing  a  number  of  provisions  for  the  remuneration  of  the  Executive 
Board  members  during  the  use  of  these  measures.  Accordingly,  each  Executive  Board  member  already 
appointed on 31 December 2019 must not receive compensation beyond the basic remuneration of the 
respective Board member as at 31 December 2019 unless at least 75 % of the stabilisation measure has been 
repaid (taking account of potential Group remuneration in the event of dual employment by another Group 
company). The framework agreement also sets out that TUI AG does not grant and therefore does not entitle 
Executive Board members to ‘any other remuneration components or services in the free discretion of the 
Company  or  any  legally  unjustified  severance  payments,  taking  account  of  potential  Group  remuneration 

 
 
 
 
 
 
bonuses, other variable or comparable compensation components or special payments in the form of share 
packages, bonuses or other separate remuneration’.

The PSP governs the share-based remuneration for eligible executives who are not members of the Executive 
Board. The PSP is in principle harmonized with the LTIP EPS 20 – 22 of the Board members. The performance 
period of the PSP is three years. The current PSP has been in effect in its current form since 2019. The plan 
conditions for the outstanding tranches of financial years 2021 and 2022 were adjusted again retroactively 
in financial year 2022 and the vesting of the virtual shares was made dependent on the achievement of 
absolute EPS values instead of relative EPS growth. 

Since LTIP EPS20 – 22 and PSP follow common scheme principles, the following development of allocated 
phantom shares under the programs are shown on an aggregated basis.

Eligible  employees  can  acquire  TUI  AG  shares  under  preferential  conditions  when  participating  in  the 
oneShare programme. The preferential conditions include a discount on ‘investment’ shares bought during 
a twelve month investment period plus one ‘matching’ share per three investment shares held, after a lock-
up period of two years. Investment shares are created via capital increase, while matching shares are bought 
on the open market. Eligible employees decide once a year about their participation in oneShare. As the 
investment and matching shares as well as the Golden shares are equity instruments of TUI AG, oneShare is 
accounted for as an equity-settled share-based payment scheme in line with IFRS 2. Once all eligible employees 
have decided upon their yearly participation, the fair value of the equity instrument granted is calculated 
once and fixed for each tranche on the basis of the proportional shares price at grant date taking into 
consideration the discounted estimated dividends.

In  2022,  no  new  tranche  of  oneShare  was  launched.  The  matching  date  for  Tranche  4  was  30  Septem-
ber 2022 and the matching shares of Tranche 4 were subsequently transferred to participants who still held 
their investment shares at the beginning of the financial year.

As at 30 September 2022, all existing awards except oneShare are recognised as cash-settled share-based 
payment schemes and are allocated with an exercise price of € 0.00. The personnel expense is recognised 
upon actual delivery of service according to IFRS 2 and is, therefore, spread over a period of time. According 
to IFRS 2, all contractually granted entitlements have to be accounted for, irrespective of whether and when 
they are actually allocated. Accordingly, phantom shares allocated in the past are charged on a pro rata basis 
upon actual delivery of service.

Overall, income from the reversal of provisions for cash-settled share-based payments of € 4.5 m was 
recognised through profit or loss in financial year 2022 (previous year personnel expenses of € 1.9 m). 

Overall, personnel expenses due to equity-settled share-based payment schemes of € 0.8 m (previous year 
€ 1.6 m) were recognised through profit or loss in financial year 2022. 

As at 30 September 2022, provisions relating to entitlements under these long-term incentive programmes 
totalled € 7.6 m (previous year € 12.2 m).

R I S K   M A N A G E M E N T   P R I N C I P L E S
Due to the nature of its business operations, TUI Group is exposed to various financial risks, including mar-
ket risks (consisting of currency risks, interest rate risks and market price risks), credit risks and liquidity 
risks. 

In accordance with TUI Group’s financial goals, financial risks have to be mitigated. In order to achieve this, 
policies and procedures have been developed to manage risk associated with financial transactions under-
taken.

The rules, responsibilities and processes as well as limits for transactions and risk positions have been defined 
in policies. The trading, processing and control have been segregated in functional and organisational terms. 
Compliance with the policies and limits is continually monitored. All hedges by TUI Group are consistently 
based on recognised or forecasted underlying transactions. Standard software is used for assessing, moni-
toring, reporting, documenting and reviewing the effectiveness of the hedging relationships for the hedges 
entered into. In this context, the fair values of all derivative financial instruments determined on the basis of 
the Group’s own systems are regularly compared with the fair value confirmations from the external coun-
terparties. The processes, the methods applied and the organisation of risk management are reviewed for 
compliance with the relevant regulations on at least an annual basis by the internal audit department and 
external auditors.

Within TUI Group, financial risks primarily arise from cash flows in foreign currencies, fuel requirements (jet 
fuel and bunker oil) and financing via the money and capital markets. In order to limit the risks from changes 
in exchange rates, market prices and interest rates for underlying transactions, TUI Group uses over-the-
counter derivative financial instruments. These are primarily fixed-price transactions. In addition, TUI also 
uses options and structured products. Use of derivative financial instruments is confined to internally fixed 
limits and other policies. The transactions are concluded on an arm’s length basis with counterparties oper-
ating in the financial sector, whose counterparty risk is regularly monitored. Foreign exchange translation 
risks from the consolidation of group companies not preparing their accounts in euros are not hedged.

M A R K E T   R I S K
Market risks result in fluctuations in earnings, equity and cash flows. Risks arising from input cost volatility 
are more fully detailed in the risk report section of the management report. In order to limit or eliminate 
these risks,  TUI Group has developed various hedging strategies, including the use of derivative financial 
instruments. 

IFRS 7 requires the presentation of a sensitivity analysis showing the effects of hypothetical changes in rel-
evant market risk variables on profit or loss and equity. The effects for the period are determined by relating 
the hypothetical changes in risk variables to the portfolio of primary and derivative financial instruments as 
at the balance sheet date. It is assured that the portfolio of financial instruments as at the balance sheet 
date is representative for the entire financial year.

The  analyses  of  TUI  Group’s  risk  reduction  activities  outlined  below  and  the  amounts  determined  using 
sensitivity analyses represent hypothetical and thus uncertain risks. Due to unforeseeable developments in 
the global financial markets, actual results may deviate substantially from the disclosures provided. The risk 
analysis methods used must not be considered a projection of future events or losses, since TUI is also exposed 
to risks of a non-financial or non-quantifiable nature. These risks primarily include sovereign, business and 
legal risks not covered by the following presentation of risks.

C U R R E N C Y   R I S K
The business operations of TUI’s group companies generate payments or receipts denominated in foreign 
currencies, which are not always matched by payments or receipts with equivalent terms in the same currency. 
Using potential netting effects (netting of payments made and received in the same currency with identical 
or similar terms), TUI Group enters into appropriate hedges with external counterparties in order to protect 
its profit margin from exchange rate-related fluctuations.

Within TUI Group, risks from exchange rate fluctuations are hedged, with the largest hedging volumes relating 
to US dollars, euros and pound sterling. The Eurozone limits the currency risk from transactions in the key 
tourist destinations to group companies whose functional currency is not the euro. The tourism business 
operations are mainly affected by changes in the value of the US dollar and the euro, the latter predominantly 
affecting the TUI tour operators in the UK and the Nordic countries. In tourism operations, payments in 
US dollars primarily relate to the procurement of services in non-European destinations, purchases of jet 
and ship fuel and aircraft and cruise ship purchases or charter.

The  tourism  companies  use  financial  derivatives  to  hedge  their  planned  foreign  exchange  requirements. 
They aim to take out cover ahead of the markets’ customer booking profiles in the planned currency require-
ments in the run-up to the tourism season. In this regard, account is taken of the different risk profiles of 
TUI’s group companies. The hedged currency volumes are adjusted in line with changes in planned require-
ments  based  on  reporting  by  business  units.  Target  hedge  ratios  are  regularly  reviewed  with  the  aim  of 
matching hedge ratios with the respective target hedging ratios for future seasons.

TUI Group is exposed to interest rate risks from floating-rate primary and derivative financial instruments. 
Where interest-driven cash flows of floating-rate primary financial instruments are converted into fixed cash 
flows using derivative hedges and the critical terms of the hedging transaction are the same as those of the 
hedged items they are not exposed to an interest rate risk. No interest rate risk exists for fixed-interest 
financial instruments carried at amortised cost.

Currency risks within the meaning of IFRS 7 arise from primary and derivative monetary financial instru-
ments issued in a currency other than the functional currency of a company. Exchange rate-related differ-
ences from the translation of financial statements into the Group’s presentation currency are not taken into 
account. Taking account of the different functional currencies within the TUI Group, the sensitivity analyses 
of the currencies identified as relevant risk variables are presented below. A 10 % strengthening or weakening 
of the respective functional currencies, primarily euro and pound sterling, against the other currencies would 
cause the following effects on the revaluation reserve and earnings after income tax.

Changes in market interest rates mainly impact floating-rate non-derivative financial instruments and deriv-
ative financial instruments entered into in order to reduce interest-induced cash flow fluctuations. 

The  table  below  presents  the  equity  and  earnings  after  income  taxes  effects  of  an  assumed  increase  or 
decrease in the market interest rate of 100 basis points (previous year 50 basis points) as at the balance 
sheet date. The adjustment in the sensitivity of market prices from 50 basis points in the previous year to 
100 basis points was based on the assumption that central banks are expected to continue with an aggressive 
rate hike cycle in the coming months.

The global reform of reference interest rates (IBORs) gives rise to uncertainties for TUI insofar as variable 
reference interest rates that are available today, on which some transactions concluded in foreign currencies are 
based, will no longer be available in the future or will be determined differently. At TUI, only non-derivative 
risk positions are affected by these uncertainties. As in the previous year, there are no derivative risk positions.

With regard to the EURIBOR, there are no effects from the switch to accounting for non-derivative assets 
and liabilities. The method of calculating the EURIBOR had already been adjusted by the European Money 
Market Institute in 2019 in order to ensure that the EURIBOR conforms to the EU benchmark regulation.

According to the latest announcements, the USD LIBOR quotations will not be published after June 30, 2023. 
With reference to the USD LIBOR, there are non-derivative liabilities at 30 September 2022 with carrying 
amounts totalling € 492.7 m (previous year € 334.9 m) with a term beyond 30 June 2023. Of this amount, 
€ 15.7 m (previous year € 0.1 m) relating to a bank facility with a contractual fallback clause. The other risk 
positions relate to the leases or financing of aircraft. There is some residual risk with regard to the timeliness 
and the content of the contract amendment needed. TUI’s fleet management will enter into talks with the 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
counterparties in the coming months to agree on fallback clauses or to convert the existing agreements to 
an alternative reference interest rate. No significant effects are expected from the USD-LIBOR conversion, 
which is still pending.

C R E D I T   R I S K
The credit risk in non-derivative financial instruments results from the risk of counterparties defaulting on 
their contractual payment obligations.

F U E L   P R I C E   R I S K
Due to the nature of its business operations, TUI Group is exposed to market price risks from the purchase 
of fuel for the aircraft fleet and the cruise ships.

The tourism companies use financial derivatives to hedge their exposure to market price risks for the planned 
consumption of fuel. They aim to take out cover ahead of the markets’ customer booking profiles in the 
planned  commodity  requirements  in  the  run-up  to  the  tourism  season.  The  different  risk  profiles  of  the 
group companies operating in different source markets are taken into account, including the possibility of 
levying fuel surcharges. The hedging volumes are adjusted for changes in planned consumption as identified 
by the group companies. Target hedge ratios are regularly reviewed with the aim of matching hedge ratios 
with the respective target hedging ratios for future seasons. 

If the commodity prices, which underlie the fuel price hedges, increase or decrease by 15 % (previous year 
+ 10 % / – 10 %), on the balance sheet date, the impact on equity and on earnings after income taxes would 
be as shown in the table below. The adjustment in the sensitivity of market price to +/– 15 % was based on 
the assumption that an above-average price volatility in fuel prices could be expected to continue over the 
coming months in the context of the current geo-political environment.

Apart from the financial risks that may result from changes in exchange rates, commodity prices and interest 
rates, TUI Group is not exposed to significant price risks at the balance sheet date.

Maximum credit risk exposure corresponds in particular to the total of the recognised carrying amounts of 
the  financial  assets  (including  derivative  financial  instruments  with  positive  market  values).  Furthermore, 
there are no material financial guarantees for the discharge of liabilities. Where legally enforceable, financial 
assets and liabilities are netted. Credit risks are reviewed closely on conclusion of the contract and continu-
ally monitored thereafter in order to swiftly respond to potential impairment in a counterparty’s solvency. 
Responsibility for handling the credit risk is generally held by the Group company holding the receivable.

Since TUI Group operates in many different business areas and regions, significant credit risk concentrations 
of receivables from and loans to specific debtors or groups of debtors are not to be expected. A significant 
concentration of credit risks related to specific countries is not to be expected either. As in the previous year, 
at the balance sheet date, there is no material collateral held, or other credit enhancements that reduce the 
maximum credit risk. Collateral held relates exclusively to financial assets of the category trade receivables 
and other receivables. The collateral mainly comprises collateral for financial receivables granted and maturing 
in more than one year and / or with a volume of more than € 1.0 m. Real property rights, directly enforceable 
guarantees, bank guarantees and comfort letters are used as collateral.

Credit management also covers TUI Group’s derivative financial instruments. The maximum credit risk for 
derivative financial instruments entered into is limited to the total of all positive market values of these 
instruments  since  in  the  event  of  counterparty  default  asset  losses  would  only  be  incurred  up  to  that 
amount. Since derivative financial instruments are concluded with different debtors, credit risk exposure is 
reduced. The specific credit risks of individual counterparties are taken into account in determining the fair 
values  of  derivative  financial  instruments.  In  addition,  the  counterparty  risk  is  continually  monitored  and 
controlled using internal bank limits.

IFRS 9 requires entities to recognise expected losses for all financial assets held at amortised cost and for 
financial assets constituting debt instruments and measured at FVTOCI (Fair Value Through Other Compre-
hensive Income). In TUI Group, the items affected are financial instruments recognised at amortised cost in 
the  following  categories:  trade  receivables  and  other  receivables  with  the  sub-classes  trade  receivables, 
advances and loans, other receivables and assets as well as lease receivables. Additional classes are other 
financial assets and cash and cash equivalents. In determining expected losses, IFRS 9 distinguishes between 
the general and the simplified approach to impairment.

Under the general approach to impairment, financial assets are classified into three stages. Stage 1 is where 
financial assets are recognised for the first time or where credit risk has not increased significantly since 
initial recognition. At this stage, the expected bad debt losses that may arise from possible default events 
within the next 12 months after the respective balance sheet date are reported. For financial assets in stage 
1, entities are required to recognise 12-month Expected Credit Losses (ECL). Stage 2 is where credit risk has 
increased significantly since initial recognition. Stage 3 includes financial assets that additionally have objec-
tive evidence of impairment alongside the criteria of stage 2. Stages 2 and 3 show lifetime ECL. 

Under the simplified approach to impairment, a loss allowance is carried at an amount equal to life-time ECL 
at initial recognition for trade receivables and lease receivables, regardless of the credit quality of the ac-
counts receivable and the lease receivables. TUI uses a provision matrix to determine the expected loss for 
trade receivables and lease receivables. Average historical observed default rates are determined for the 
following maturity bands. Not overdue, less than 30 days past due, 30 – 90 days, 91 – 180 days and more than 
180 days past due. The loss rates determined are adjusted by credit default swap (CDS) rates in order to 
take account of forward-looking information. The adjusted loss rates are based on average rates for the past 
few years. The economic environment of the relevant geographical regions is taken into account through a 
weighting of CDS rates. All model parameters mentioned above are regularly reviewed and updated. 

Under the simplified approach to impairment, trade receivable and lease receivables are transferred to Stage 
3 when there is any objective evidence of impairment. In principle TUI Group classifies whether a trade re-
ceivable is to be transferred to Stage 3 on an individual basis, depending on the region, after 180 days at the 
earliest. In the event of insolvencies or other objective indications of impairment before this date, a transfer 
to stage 3 is made earlier. If a receivable is more than 180 days overdue, it is assumed to be impaired and, in 
the event of uncollectibility, generally written down in full. Objective evidence of impairment of lease receiv-
ables  includes,  for  example,  significant  financial  difficulties  on  the  part  of  the  debtor,  breach  of  contract 
(default or delay in interest and repayment) or concessions made for economic or contractual reasons in 
connection with the debtor’s financial difficulties.

For all other financial assets carried at amortised cost impairments are determined in accordance with the 
general approach.

For cash and cash equivalents, the low credit risk exemption of IFRS 9 is applied, according to which financial 
instruments with a low default risk at the time of acquisition can be classified in stage 1 of the impairment 
model. Cash and cash equivalents include, for instance, cash in hand or bank balances that are exclusively 
due to counterparties with a high credit rating. In accordance with stage 1 of the impairment hierarchy, a risk 
provision corresponding to the 12-month credit loss is recorded in cash and cash equivalents upon initial 
recognition. At each balance sheet date, a verification is made as to whether the counterparties continue to 
have a rating of investment grade quality. As the corresponding financial assets have a maximum term of 
3 months, the impairment requirement is very low. A transfer from Stage 1 to Stage 2 or 3 has no practical 
relevance, as the business relationship would be terminated immediately in the case of a corresponding event.

For material advances and loans and other receivables and assets, the expected credit losses are determined 
by multiplying the probability of default with the loss given default and the exposure of default. TUI Group 
determines the probabilities of default on the basis of an internal rating model. As part of TUI Group’s busi-
ness model, the ratings of debtors for material receivables are evaluated on the basis of this internal rating. 
Category 1 of the rating model contains the debtors with the highest credit rating, whereas the debtors with 
the lowest credit rating are classified in the category 7. If the credit risk has not significantly deteriorated 
since initial recognition, 12-month credit losses are determined (stage 1). In the event of a significant increase 
in the credit risk, the lifetime-expected credit loss is determined (stage 2). A significant increase in the 
default risk is assumed on the basis of the internal rating and other relevant information such as changes in 
the economic, regulatory or technological environment.

If there is any objective evidence of impairment, a transfer is made to Stage 3.

The gross carrying amount of a financial asset of all classes of financial instruments recognised at amortised 
cost is written off when there is no longer the expectation of full or partial recovery a financial asset following 
an appropriate assessment. For individual customers the gross carrying amount is usually written off by the 
Group companies based on past experience of recoveries of such assets in the country specific business 
environment if the financial asset is no longer expected to be collected due to days overdue. For corporate 
customers, TUI Group’s businesses conduct an individual assessment about the timing and the amount of 
write off based on whether there is a reasonable expectation of recovery. TUI Group does not expect significant 
recovery of amounts written off. However, written-off financial assets may still be subject to enforcement 
actions to collect overdue receivables.

For advances and loans, other receivables and assets as well as other financial assets, the expected credit 
losses are determined on a portfolio basis. In significant individual cases, this portfolio approach is deviated 
from, as the relevant information for determining the expected loss is available at the stage of the individual 
instrument. TUI Group ensures that solely financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics are combined, 
e. g. type of product and geographical region. TUI Group initially carries the credit loss based on a loss rate 
expected for the next twelve months. This loss rate is adjusted at regular intervals depending on the macro-
economic market environment. If the credit risk increases significantly, the lifetime expected credit loss is 
determined (Stage 2). The assessment of a significant increase in the credit risk, because of the past due 
status of the instruments, is determined in TUI Group on an individual basis by region, change in default 
risk-related market data or change in contractual conditions, among other factors. Depending on the port-
folio, a reclassification to stage 2 is regularly made if the overdue amount is more than 30 days past due. If 
there is objective evidence of impairment, the instrument is transferred to Stage 3.

In principle, the general approach assumes that the default risk of financial assets has increased significantly 
since initial recognition if contractual payments are more than 30 days overdue. However, this can be refuted 
by  TUI  Group’s  available  appropriate  and  comprehensible  information.  The  assessment  of  the  objective 
evidence of impairment for all instruments falling within the scope of the general model is based on the 
following indicators: e. g. severe financial difficulties of the debtor, breach of contract (default or delinquency 
in interest or principal payment) or concessions made for economic or contractual reasons in connection 
with financial difficulties of the debtor. As a result, such instruments are usually written off in full. 

CDS rates are used as forward-looking information in the general impairment model, too.

TUI Group recognises an impairment gain or loss on all financial assets with a corresponding adjustment of 
the carrying amount through a provision for impairment. 

As at 30 September 2022, trade receivables were impaired in the amount of € 59.5 m (previous year € 71.6 m).

Other financial assets carried at amortised cost at an amount of € 85.8 m (previous year € 12.1 m) relate to 
short-term  deposits  with  banks.  The  full  amount  of  these  investments  with  a  gross  amount  of  € 86.2 m 
(previous year € 12.7 m) is not overdue. Impairments of € 0.5 m (previous year € 0.7 m) were carried in the 
framework of risk provisioning.

In the financial year 2022, there were cash inflows of € 4.8 m from impaired interest-bearing trade receivables 
and other receivables (previous year no significant cash inflows).

The tables below show a reconciliation of the loan loss provisions for financial assets, measured at amortised

As at 30 September, 2022, three instruments in class other receivables and assets and eight instruments in 
class advances and loans were reported in stage 3 (previous year no instruments in stage 3). There were no 
currency differences (previous year € 0.1 m). There was no change in the scope of consolidation (previous 
year no changes). Transfers were made between the stages of the impairment model in the advances and 
loans class. In the amount of € 6.6 m from stage 1 to stage 3 and in the amount of € 12.8 m from stage 2 to 
stage 3 (previous year transfer from stage 1 to stage 2: € 9.7 m). A transfer of € 0.8 m from stage 1 to stage 
3 was made in the other receivables and assets class (previous year no transfer).

The largest single item in the use of impairments in class advances and loans amounts to € 9.5 m. The models 
were adjusted with regard to the risk parameters used in terms of the loss rate in line with the macroeconomic 
market environment. This resulted in a lower risk provision of € 6.2 m (previous year € 21.2 m).

Liquidity risks arise from TUI Group being unable to meet its short-term financial obligations and the resulting 
increases in funding costs. TUI Group has established an internal liquidity management system to secure 
TUI Group’s liquidity at all times and consistently comply with contractual payment obligations. To that end, 
TUI Group’s liquidity management system uses the opportunities of physical and virtual cash pooling for 
more efficient liquidity pooling. It also uses credit lines to compensate for the seasonal fluctuations in liquidity 
resulting from the tourism business. The core credit facility is a syndicated revolving credit facility totalling 
€ 3.6 bn  agreed  with  the  previous  syndicate  banks  and  KfW  Bank,  which  has  been  included  due  to  the 
COVID-19 pandemic.

Details of the financing transactions are presented in the section ‘Going-concern reporting in accordance 
with the UK Corporate Governance Code’.

As in the previous year, no material assets were deposited as collateral for liabilities. Moreover, the Group 
companies participating in the cash pool are jointly and severally liable for financial liabilities from cash pooling 
agreements. 

The tables provided below list the contractually agreed (undiscounted) cash flows of all primary financial 
liabilities as at the balance sheet date. Planned payments for future new liabilities were not taken into 
account. Where financial liabilities have a floating interest rate, the forward interest rates fixed at the balance 
sheet date were used to determine future interest payments. Financial liabilities cancellable at any time are 
allocated to the earliest maturity band.

The analysis of cash flows from derivative financial instruments shows the contractually agreed (undiscounted) 
cash flows by maturity of foreign exchange hedges of all liabilities and receivables that existed at the balance 
sheet date. Derivative financial instruments used to hedge other price risks are included in the analysis with 
their contractually agreed (undiscounted) cash flows by maturity from all financial receivables and liabilities 
at the balance sheet date.

In accordance with TUI Group’s policy, derivatives are allowed to be used if they are based on underlying 
recognised assets or liabilities, firm commitments or forecast transactions. Hedge accounting based on the 
rules of IAS 39 is applied to forecasted transactions. In the completed financial year, hedges consisted of 
cash flow hedges.

Derivative financial instruments in the form of fixed-price transactions and options as well as structured 
products are used to limit currency, interest rate and fuel risks.

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted business operations and the existing hedging strategy for 
currency risks and fuel price risks. Due to numerous travel restrictions and limitations in the past three 
financial years, the occurrence of numerous hedged underlying transactions could no longer be assessed as 
highly likely, causing a rapid decline in fuel price and currency hedge requirements and therefore requiring 
the prospective termination of these hedges.

For the hedges so affected, occurrence of the underlying transactions can no longer be expected for a future 
point in time, so that the accrued amounts from the change in the value of the hedging instruments were 
reclassified from cash flow hedge reserve (OCI) to the cost of sales in the income statement. Despite the 
significant  increase  in  bookings,  €+ 0.4 m  were  reclassified  from  foreign  currency  hedges  in  the  reporting 
period. During financial year 2022 only foreign currency hedges have been de-designated as the highly 
expected forecasted transactions did not occur.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Furthermore, the strong increase in TUI’s credit risk had a direct impact on the retrospective hedge effec-
tiveness  test.  As  a  result,  fuel  price,  interest  rate  and  currency  hedges  had  to  be  terminated  as  they  no 
longer met the effectiveness requirements of IAS 39. All future changes in the value of these de-designated 
hedges are also taken to the cost of sales respectively in the financial result in the case of interest rate hedges 
in the income statement through profit and loss and recognised as other derivative financial instruments 
from the date of the termination of the cash flow hedge accounting. At 30 September 2022, the fair value of 
these reclassified fuel price hedges totalled € 21.6 m at a nominal value of € 153.5 m, while the fair value of 
the interest rate hedges amounted to € 5.7 m at a nominal volume of € 358.1 m and the fair value of currency 
hedges totalled € 10.4 m at a nominal volume of € 68.7 m. 

C A S H   F L O W   H E D G E S
At 30 September 2022, hedges existed to manage cash flows in foreign currencies with maturities of up to 
two years (previous year up to two years). The fuel price hedges had terms of up to one year (previous year 
up to one year). Hedges to protect variable interest payment obligations are currently not in the portfolio 
(previous year none). The impact on profit or loss for the period is at the time the expected cash inflow 
occurs.

Other  derivative  hedging  instruments  comprise  the  nominal  values  of  hedges  not  designated  for  hedge 
accounting. TUI Group exclusively enters into derivative financial instruments for hedging purposes. Depend-
ing on the type of the hedged underlying transaction, TUI exercises the option to apply hedge accounting 
according to IAS 39. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a large number of hedges according to IAS 39 had to be 
terminated. Accordingly, the derivative financial instruments underlying these hedges are shown under Other 
derivative financial instruments.

The nominal values correspond to the total of all purchase and sale amounts underlying the transactions or 
the respective contract values of the transactions.

In order to hedge the risks of fluctuations in future cash flows from currency, interest rate and fuel price 
risks, TUI regularly enters into hedges. The planned transactions, i. e. the underlying transactions, are used 
to determine the ineffective portions of hedges designated as cash flow hedges. In designating cash flow 
hedges, only the spot rate component is included in hedge accounting as a hedge for some forward exchange 
transactions, while the interest component of these financial instruments is shown separately in all relevant 
tables under Other derivative financial instruments, in line with derivatives not designated as hedging 
instruments according to IAS 39.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
In accounting for cash flow hedges, the effective portions of the hedging relationships have to be recognised 
in OCI outside profit and loss. Any additional changes in the fair value of the designated components are 
recognised as ineffective portions in cost of sales. The table below presents the development of OCI in 
financial year 2022.

In the reporting period, expenses of € 18.4 m (previous year expenses of € 139.8 m) from currency hedges 
and derivative financial instruments used to hedge the impact of exposure to fuel price risks was recognised 
in the cost of sales. Interest rate hedges result in expenses of € 1.4 m (previous year expenses of € 3.0 m), 
carried in net interest income. Expense of € 1.3 m (previous year income of € 0.2 m) was recognised for the 
ineffective portion of cash flow hedges.

The  fair  values  of  derivative  financial  instruments  generally  correspond  to  the  market  value.  The  market 
price determined for all derivative financial instruments is the price that would be received to sell an asset 
or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. 
A description of the determination of the fair values of derivative financial instruments is provided with the 
classification of financial instruments measured at fair value.

The fair values of non-current trade receivables and for parts of current other receivables and current other 
financial assets as well as cash and cash equivalents, current other financial liabilities and trade payables 
correspond to the present values of the cash flows associated with the assets, taking account of current 
interest parameters which reflect market and counterparty-related changes in terms and expectations. In the 
case of cash and cash equivalents, current trade receivables, other financial assets, current trade payables and 
other financial liabilities the carrying amount approximates the fair value due to the short remaining term.

Financial instruments which are entered into in order to hedge a risk position according to operational criteria 
but do not meet the criteria of IAS 39 to qualify for hedge accounting are shown as other derivative financial 
instruments. They include foreign currency transactions entered into in order to hedge against foreign 
exchange-exposure to changes in the value of balance sheet items and foreign exchange fluctuations from 
future expenses in tourism.

Where financial instruments are listed in an active market, e. g. shares held and bonds issued, the fair value 
or market value is the respective quotation in this market at the balance sheet date. For over-the-counter 
bonds,  debt  components  of  bonds  with  warrants  and  convertible  bonds,  liabilities  to  banks,  promissory 
notes and other non-current financial liabilities, the fair value is determined as the present value of future 
cash flows, taking account of yield curves and the respective credit spread, which depends on the credit rating.

In financial year 2022, the fair values of other current receivables and current liabilities to banks were deter-
mined  in  line  with  the  past  financial  year,  taking  into  account  yield  curves  and  the  respective  credit  risk 
premium  (credit  spread)  based  on  credit  rating.  As  a  result,  the  assumption  that  the  carrying  amount 
approximately corresponds to the fair value due to the short remaining term has been adjusted to the 
current market conditions due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The amounts shown in the column ‘carrying amount’ (as shown in the balance sheet) in the tables above can 
differ from those in the other columns of a particular row since the latter include all financial instruments. 
That  is  the  latter  columns  include  financial  instruments  which  are  part  of  disposal  groups  according  to 
IFRS 5. In the balance sheet, financial instruments, which are part of a disposal group, are shown as separate 
items. If such financial instruments are included, further details on these financial instruments are explained 
in the sections ‘Assets held for sale’ and ‘Liabilities related to assets held’.

The  instruments  measured  at  fair  value  through  other  comprehensive  income  within  the  other  financial 
assets class are investments in companies based on medium to long-term strategic objectives. Recording all 
short-term  fluctuations  in  the  fair  value  in  the  income  statement  would  not  be  in  line  with  TUI  Group’s 
strategy; these equity instruments were therefore designated as fair value through OCI.

The table below presents the fair values of recurring, non-recurring and other financial instruments meas-
ured at fair value in line with the underlying measurement level. The individual measurement levels have 
been defined as follows in line with the inputs: 

•  Level 1: (unadjusted) quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. 
•  Level 2: inputs for the measurement other than quoted market prices included within Level 1 that are 
observable in the market for the asset or liability, either directly (as quoted prices) or indirectly (derivable 
from quoted prices).

At the end of every reporting period, TUI Group checks whether there are any reasons for reclassification to 
or from one of the measurement levels. Financial assets and financial liabilities are generally transferred out 
of Level 1 into Level 2 if the liquidity and trading activity no longer indicate an active market. The opposite 
situation applies to potential transfers out of Level 2 into Level 1. In the reporting period, there were no 
transfers between Level 1 and Level 2.

Reclassifications from Level 3 to Level 2 or Level 1 are made if observable market price quotations become 
available for the asset or liability concerned. In the reporting period there were no other transfers from or 
to Level 3. TUI Group records transfers from or to Level 3 at the date of the obligating event or occasion 
triggering the transfer.

The fair value of financial instruments for which an active market exists is based on quoted prices at the 
reporting date. An active market exists if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, 
dealer, broker, pricing service or regulatory agency and these prices represent actual and regularly occurring 
market transactions on an arm’s length basis. These financial instruments are classified as Level 1. The fair 
values correspond to the nominal amounts multiplied by the quoted prices at the reporting date. Level 1 
financial instruments primarily comprise shares in listed companies classified as at fair value through OCI and 
bonds issued classified as financial liabilities at amortised cost.

L E V E L   2   F I N A N C I A L   I N S T R U M E N T S :
The fair values of financial instruments not traded in an active market, e. g., over-the-counter (OTC) deriva-
tives, are determined by means of valuation techniques. These valuation techniques make maximum use of 
observable market data and minimise the use of group-specific assumptions. If all essential inputs for the 
determination of the fair value of an instrument are observable, the instrument is classified as Level 2. 

If one or several key inputs are not based on observable market data, the instrument is classified as Level 3. 

The following specific valuation techniques are used to measure financial instruments:

•  For  over-the-counter  bonds,  debt  components  of  warrant  and  convertible  bonds,  liabilities  to  banks, 
promissory notes and other non-current financial liabilities as well as for current other receivables, current 
financial liabilities and non-current trade and other receivables, the fair value is determined as the present 
value of future cash flows, taking account of observable yield curves and the respective credit spread, 
which depends on the credit rating.

•  The fair value of over-the-counter derivatives is determined by means of appropriate calculation methods, 
e. g., by discounting the expected future cash flows. The forward prices of forward transactions are based 
on the spot or cash prices, taking account of forward premiums and discounts. The fair values of optional 
hedges are calculated on the basis of option pricing models. The fair values determined on the basis of the 
group’s own systems are periodically compared with fair value confirmations of the external counterparties.

•  Other valuation techniques, e. g., discounting future cash flows, are used to determine the fair values of 

other financial instruments.

The fair value of financial instruments in Level 3 has been determined by TUI Group’s financial department 
using the discounted cash flow method. This involves the market data and parameters required for measure-
ment being compiled or validated. Non-observable input parameters are reviewed on the basis of internally 
available information and updated if necessary.

In principle, the unobservable input parameters relate to the following parameters; the (estimated) EBITDA 
margin is in a range between 8.3 % and 24.0 % (previous year – 4.2 % and 22.5 %). The constant growth rate 
is 1 % (previous year 1 %). The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is in a range between 9.5 %–11.3 % 
(previous year 8.8 – 9.9 %). Due to materiality, no detailed figures have been provided. With the exception of 
the WACC, there is a positive correlation between the input factors and the fair value.

The decrease in the fair values of Other financial assets in Level 3 results from a measurement effect totalling 
€ – 1.4 m and from foreign exchange effects totalling € – 0.4 m. 

Financial instruments classified as Other financial assets include shares in corporations. The total fair value 
of these financial investments at 30 September 2022 is € 9.6 m (previous year € 10.3 m). In the year under 
review, there were no disposals (previous year € 0.1 m) of shares in corporations as part of the initial consoli-
dation which were measured at fair value, as part of their first consolidation. None of these strategic financial 
investments were sold in the completed financial year. Dividend payments of € 0.3 m (previous year € 0.0 m) 
resulted from these financial investments. 

At 30 September 2022, other receivables in accordance with IFRS 9 in Level 3 include a carrying amount of 
€ 106.5 m (previous year € 108.1 m) for a variable purchase price receivable from the sale of Riu Hotels S. A. 
in the prior year, measured as a financial instrument in the category FVTPL. The fair value is determined 
using a probability calculation for the future gross operating profit, taking account of contractual entitlements 
to an additional purchase price demand and an appropriate risk-adjusted discount rate (1.99 % until 2.87 % 
previous  year  – 0.33 %  until  – 0.22 %).  Gross  operating  profit  is  defined  as  total  revenue  minus  operating 
expenses. The cash flows from the contractual claims depend solely on a number of contractually deter-
mined Riu hotels delivering the gross operating profit for calendar years 2022 and 2023.

The variable purchase price payment varies as a function of delivering the contractually fixed gross operating 
profit. Its’ maximum amount is limited. At least 90 % of the target gross operating profit contractually agreed 
for 2022 or 2023, respectively, has to be achieved in order to generate a variable purchase price payment. If 
the 90 % target is not met, no further purchase price payment will be made. The maximum purchase price 
payment totals € 112.4 m. Due to different expectations regarding target achievement, potential purchase 
price payments vary between € 0 and € 112.4 m. At 30 September 2022, the contractually fixed target for 
2022 had already been reached, thus the variable purchase price receivable related to 2022 was recognised 
at  its  maximum  amount  (€ 87.7 m,  previously  € 69.9 m).  After  granting  a  discount,  income  of  € 13.4 m  was 
recognised in the income statement.

TUI expects the hotels concerned to deliver around 100 % to 105 % in calendar year 2023. The current planning 
for the relevant hotels (input parameters) is regularly reviewed by the responsible accounting staff.

A sensitivity analysis shows that an increase in the hotels’ gross operating profit of 10 % (regarding calendar 
year 2023) would result in a change in the present value of the additional purchase price receivable of around 
€ 2 m, while a reduction in gross operating profit of 10 % would result in a change in the present value of 
around € – 24.4 m. An interest rate shift of + / – 100 basis points would alter the present value of the purchase 
price receivable by around € 0.5 m.

E F F E C T S   O N   R E S U LT S
The effects of remeasuring the financial assets carried at fair value through OCI as well as the effective 
portions of changes in fair values of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are listed in the statement 
of changes in equity.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are only netted in the balance sheet if a legally enforceable right to 
netting exists and the Company concerned intends to settle on a net basis. 

The contracts for financial instruments are based on standardised master agreements for financial deriva-
tives  (including  ISDA  Master  Agreement,  German  master  agreement  for  financial  derivatives),  creating  a 
conditional right to netting contingent on defined future events. Under the contractual agreements all 
derivatives contracted with the corresponding counterparty with positive or negative fair values are netted 
in that case, resulting in a net receivable or payable in the amount of the balance. As this conditional right to 
netting is not enforceable in the course of ordinary business transactions and thus the criteria for netting 
are not met, the derivative financial assets and liabilities are carried at their gross amounts in the balance 
sheet at the reporting date.

Financial assets and liabilities in the framework of the cash pooling scheme are shown on a net basis if there 
is a right to netting in ordinary business transactions and TUI intends to settle on a net basis.

(42) Capital management

TUI Group’s capital management ensures that our goals and strategies can be achieved in the interest of our 
share- / bond- and credit-holders as well as other stakeholders. The primary objectives of the Group are as 
follows:

•  Ensuring sufficient liquidity for the Group 
•  Profitable growth and a sustainable increase in TUI Group’s value 
•   Strengthening our cash generation allowing to invest, pay dividends and strengthen the balance sheet 
•  Maintaining sufficient debt capacity and an at least unchanged credit rating 

In financial year 2021 and also in the first half of financial year 2022, the travel restrictions triggered by the 
COVID-19 pandemic had a strong negative impact on the Group’s earnings and liquidity development. 

   The financing measures carried out in the year under review are described in detail in the section on Going concern reporting in 

accordance with the UK Corporate Governance Code, addititional information can be found on page 162 and in the section 

on Financial instruments, page 224 in the Notes. 

183  Notes to the Consolidated 

Income Statement

Management variables used in capital management to measure and control the above objectives are Return 
On Invested Capital (ROIC) and the leverage ratio, presented in the table below. 

TUI Group’s financial and liquidity management for all Group subsidiaries is centrally operated by TUI AG, 
which acts as the Group’s internal bank. Financing and refinancing requirements, derived from the multi-year 
finance budget, are satisfied by the timely conclusion of appropriate financing instruments. The short-term 
liquidity reserve is safeguarded by syndicated credit facilities, bilateral bank loans and liquid funds. More-
over, through intra-Group cash pooling the cash surpluses of individual Group companies are used to finance 
the cash requirements of other Group companies.

From a Group perspective, invested capital is derived from liabilities, comprising equity (including non- 
controlling interests) and the balance of interest-bearing liabilities and interest-bearing assets with an 
adjustment  for  the  seasonality  of  the  Group’s  net  financial  position.  The  cumulative  amortisations  of 
purchase price allocations are then added to the invested capital.

TUI Group calculates the leverage ratio as the ratio of gross financial debt + lease liabilities + recognised 
obligations from defined benefit pension plans to EBITDA. Due to the lower gross financial debt and the 
return to a positive EBITDA, the leverage ratio improved in the 2022 financial year to a value of 4.7x. Our 
medium-term objective is to return to a leverage ratio of below 3.0x.

Notes to the Cash Flow Statement

The cash flow statement shows the flow of cash and cash equivalents on the basis of a separate presentation 
of cash inflows and outflows from operating, investing and financing activities. The effects of changes in the 
group of consolidated companies and of foreign currency translation are eliminated. 

for TUI Group. TUI Group received an inflow of € 25.7 m net of cash and cash equivalents from the disposal 
of Nordotel S. A. A part of the purchase price had already been paid in the previous year. 

In the period under review, cash and cash equivalents rose by € 150.8 m to € 1,736.9 m. The balance sheet 
item ‘Assets held for sale’ did not include any cash or cash equivalents (previous year € 2.2 m). 

(45) Cash inflow / cash outflow from financing activities

(43) Cash inflow / cash outflow from operating activities

The cash outflow from financing activities totalled € 1,630.9 m (previous year outflow of € 233.5 m). TUI AG 
recorded a cash inflow of € 1,522.7 m from equity increases after deduction of capital procurement costs in 
October 2021 and in May 2022. At the end of June, TUI AG fully repaid the Silent Participation II of € 671.0 m 
plus a coupon of € 51.0 m, carried as a dividend, to the Economic Stabilisation Fund. 

Based on the Group result after tax, the cash flow from operating activities is derived using the indirect 
method. In the completed financial year, the cash inflow from operating activities totalled € 2,077.8 m (pre-
vious year cash outflow of € 151.3 m). This amount includes interest payments received of € 12.4 m (previous 
year  € 6.4 m)  and  dividends  of  € 0.3 m  from  non-consolidated  companies  (previous  year  € 0.0 m)  and  of 
€ 0.2 m from companies measured at equity (previous year € 14.2 m). Income tax payments resulted in a cash 
outflow of € 131.4 m (previous year € 9.0 m). 

In the period under review, TUI AG reduced its syndicated credit facility by € 1,301.4 m. TUI Group companies 
took out loans worth € 109.7 m. A cash outflow of € 853.5 m was recorded for the redemption of other financial 
liabilities, including an amount of € 583.6 m for lease liabilities. A cash outflow of € 385.6 m related to interest 
payments. A further cash outflow of € 0.6 m was used to purchase shares transferred to TUI Group employees 
in the framework of the oneShare employee stock option programme. 

(44) Cash inflow / cash outflow from investing activities

(46) Development of cash and cash equivalents

In financial year 2022, the cash outflow from investing activities totalled € 308.2 m (previous year inflow of 
€ 704.7 m). This amount includes a cash outflow for capital expenditure related to property, plant and equip-
ment and intangible assets of € 515.7 m. The Group recorded a cash inflow of € 180.7 m from the sale of 
property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. Purchase price adjustments for the divestment of 
interests in Riu Hotels S. A., effected in the previous year, resulted in a cash outflow of € 8.9 m. The divest-
ment Karisma Hotels Caribbean S. A., also effected in the previous year, resulted in a cash inflow of € 3.5 m 

Cash and cash equivalents comprise all liquid funds, i. e. cash in hand, bank balances and cheques.

Cash and cash equivalents increased by € 12.2 m (previous year € 33.2 m) due to foreign exchange effects.

TUI  AG’s  consolidated  financial  statements  have  been  audited  by  Deloitte  GmbH  Wirtschaftsprüfungs-
gesellschaft. Since financial year 2022, Annika Deutsch has been the auditor in charge. Total expenses for the 
services provided by the auditors of the consolidated financial statements in financial year 2022 break down 
as follows:

In the completed financial year, the remuneration paid to Executive Bord members totalled € 6.4 m (previous 
year € 4.9 m), and that of the Supervisory Board members totalled € 3.2 m (previous year € 3.2 m, adjusted). 
The  aforementioned  remuneration  of  the  Executive  Board  members  includes  a  tranche  of  the  long  term 
incentive plan of € 2.0 m (previous year € 0.0 m), which represents the fair value at the time of granting in 
relation to a number of 1,878,828 phantom shares (previous year 3,573,057) granted in the 2022 financial year.

Apart  from  the  subsidiaries  included  in  the  consolidated  financial  statements,  TUI  AG,  in  carrying  out  its 
ordinary business activities, maintains indirect or direct relationships with related parties. Related parties 
controlled by TUI Group or over which TUI Group is able to exercise a significant influence are shown in the 
list of shareholdings (Note 52) published in the Federal Gazette (www.bundesanzeiger.de). Apart from pure 
equity investments, related parties also include companies that supply goods or provide services for TUI 
Group companies. 

Through the Economic Stabilisation Fund (ESF), the federal German government has indirectly acquired two 
silent participations and a warrant bond, which combined form the stabilisation package for TUI AG. With the 
payments of € 420 m made in connection with the first silent participation on 25 January 2021, a number of 
terms  and  conditions  relating  to  the  package  have  entered  into  force,  which  TUI  AG  has  to  comply  with. 
Amongst others the ESF nominated two members of the supervisory board of TUI AG. Due to the scope of 
those terms and conditions, ESF can exercise material control over TUI AG and hence is a related party. The 
stabilisation measures received are significant business transactions with the ESF. Please refer to Note 27 
‘Silent participations’ and Note 10 ‘Earnings per share’ for details regarding the warrant bond.

Transactions with joint ventures and associates are primarily effected in the tourism business. They relate in 
particular to the tourism services of the hotel companies used by the Group’s tour operators.

In accordance with IAS 24, all transactions with related parties were executed on an arm’s length basis as 
would be customary with third parties outside the Group.

Financial liabilities to joint ventures included liabilities from leases of € 91.2 m (previous year € 111.9 m).

The share of result of associates and joint ventures is shown separately in segment reporting. 

As at 31 December 2021, Unifirm Ltd., Cyprus, held 34.0 % of the shares in TUI AG (as at 30 September 2021 
32.0 %). Unifirm Ltd. was indirectly controlled by Alexey Mordashov. TUI received voting rights notifications 
informing the company that a 4.1 % stake in TUI AG had been transferred to Severgroup LLC, Russia, a com-
pany controlled by Alexey Mordashov, on 28 February 2022 via a number of share transfers, and that Alexey 
Mordashov had ceded control over Unifirm Ltd. The majority shareholder of Unifirm Ltd., which held 29.9 % 
of the shares in TUI AG at the time of the notification of voting rights, was, according to the notification, 
Ondero Ltd., British Virgin Islands. In a further regulatory notification TUI was informed on 18 March 2022 
that Marina Mordashova was the controlling shareholder of Ondero Ltd.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Moreover, the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action has informed TUI on 17 March 2021 
that it has initiated an assessment procedure under the Foreign Trade and Payments Act to ascertain whether 
the reported transactions are effective. Until the conclusion of these proceedings the transactions are pro-
visionally invalid and the voting rights of Unifirm Ltd. may not be exercised.

Alexey  Mordashov  was  specified  on  a  EU  sanctions  list  on  28  February  2022,  Marina  Mordashova  on 
3 June 2022. Thus they do not have access to the shares in TUI AG controlled by them, the associated voting 
rights and economic benefits. This applies irrespectively of the outcome of the review by the Federal Ministry 
for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection. Mr Mordashov stepped down from TUI AG’s Supervisory Board 
on 2 March 2022.

The Executive Board and the Supervisory Board are key management personnel. They are therefore related 
parties in the meaning of IAS 24 whose compensation must be disclosed separately. 

Post-employment benefits are transfers to or reversals of pension provisions for Executive Board members 
active in the reporting period. The expenses mentioned do not meet the definition of remuneration for 
Executive and Supervisory Board members under German accounting rules. The share-based payments are 
an offset amount of expenses due to the addition to the provision and income resulted from the reversal of 
the provision due to the valuation. Termination benefits relate to provisions in connection with the resignation 
of  Fritz  Joussen,  whose  service  agreement  including  all  related  compensation  components  will  continue 
until the end of the 2024 financial year.

Pension  provisions  for  active  Executive  Board  members  total  € 13.2 m  (previous  year  € 16.0 m)  as  at  the 
balance sheet date. In addition, provisions of € 5.1 m (previous year € 2.6 m) are recognised relating to the 
long-term incentive programme.

The amendments specify which costs to include in assessing whether a contract is onerous. The amendments clarify that the cost of fulfilling a 
 contract consists of the direct cost of the contract representing either the incremental costs of fulfilling the contract or an allocation of other costs 
that relate directly to fulfilling the contract.
The amendments prohibit deducting from the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment any proceeds from selling items produced while 
bringing that asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Instead, an 
 entity has to recognise the proceeds from selling such items, and the cost of producing those items, in profit or loss.
The amendments update a reference to the Conceptual Framework in IFRS 3 without changing the accounting requirements for business 
 combinations.
The amendments resulting from the Annual Improvements 2018–2020 Cycle include small amendments to IFRS 1, IFRS 9, IAS 41, and the 
 Illustrative Examples accompanying IFRS 16.
IFRS 17 establishes the principles for the accounting for insurance contracts and replaces IFRS 4. On 25 June 2020, the IA SB published 
 Amendments to IFRS 17 and deferred the effective date of the Standard to 1 January 2023. Amendments were also issued to address  
challenges arising from the implementation of IFRS 17 that were identified after it was published.
The amendments to IA S 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2 are to help preparers in deciding which accounting and measurement methods to  
disclose in their financial statements. The amendments require entities to disclose their material accounting and measurement policy information  
instead of their significant accounting and measurement policies. 

The amendments to IA S 8 are to help entities to distinguish between accounting policies and accounting estimates. The definition of a change  
in accounting estimates is replaced with a new definition of accounting estimates. It is clarified that a change in an accounting estimate that results 
from new information or new developments is not the correction of an error.
The amendment addresses implementation challenges in the presentation of comparative information that were identified after IFRS 17  
was published. 

The amendments clarify that deferred tax assets and liabilities have to be formed when a transaction gives rise to equal amounts of deductible  
and taxable temporary differences at the same time. The initial recognition exemption, according to which deferred tax assets or liabilities are not 
recognised on initial recognition of an asset or a liability, does not apply to transactions of this type.

Amendments to IAS 1  
Non-Current Liabilities with Covenants

1 Jan 2024 

The amendments to IA S 1 are intended to clarify the criteria used to classify a liability as current or non-current. In future, the classification  
of liabilities as current or non-current will exclusively be based on ‘rights’ that are in existence at the end of the reporting period. The  
amendments additionally include guidance on the interpretation of the criterion ‘right to defer settlement by at least twelve months’ and  
clarify what ‘settlement’ refers to. On 15 July 2020, the IA SB had issued an amendment resulting in the deferral of the effective date to  
1 January 2023. By the amendments to IA S 1 (Non-current Liabilities with Covenants) issued on 31 October 2022, the effective date of these 
amendments is deferred again to 1 January 2024.
The amendments clarify how a seller-lessee subsequently measures sale and leaseback transactions that satisfy the requirements in  
IFRS 15 to be accounted for as a sale.
The amendments to IA S 1 clarify that only covenants an entity must comply with on or before the reporting period should affect the  
classification of the corresponding liability as current or non-current. However, an entity is required to disclose information in the notes  
that enables users of financial statements to understand the risk that non-current liabilities with covenants could become repayable  
within twelve months.

Expected impact on financial

TUI will review the impacts of this 
amendment in due course. We  
currently do not expect to see any

Independent Auditor’s Report

To TUI AG, Berlin and Hanover / Germany

Report on the audit of the consolidated financial statements  
and of the combined management report

Audit Opinions

Pursuant to Section 322 (3) 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 combined management report.

We  have  audited  the  consolidated  financial  statements  of  TUI  AG,  Berlin  and  Hanover / Germany,  and  its 
subsidiaries (the Group) which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 Septem-
ber 2022, the consolidated statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated 
statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the financial year from 
1 October 2021 to 30 September 2022, and the notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a 
summary of significant accounting policies. In addition, we have audited the combined management report 
for the parent and the group of TUI AG, Berlin and Hanover / Germany, for the financial year from 1 Octo-
ber 2021 to 30 September 2022. In accordance with the German legal requirements, we have not audited 
those parts of the combined management report set out in the appendix to the auditor’s report. 

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  IFRS  as 
adopted by the EU and the additional requirements of German commercial law pursuant to Section 315e 
(1) German Commercial Code (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 30 September 2022 and of its financial 
performance for the financial year from 1 October 2021 to 30 September 2022, and

•  the accompanying combined management report as a whole provides an appropriate view of the Group’s 
position. In all material respects, this combined management report is consistent with the consolidated 
financial statements, complies with German legal requirements and appropriately presents the opportu-
nities and risks of future development. Our audit opinion on the combined management report does not 
cover the content of those parts of the combined management report set out in the appendix to the 
auditor’s report.

Basis for the Audit Opinions

We conducted our audit of the consolidated financial statements and of the combined management report 
in accordance with Section 317 HGB and the EU Audit Regulation (No. 537 / 2014; referred to subsequently as 
‘EU Audit Regulation’) and in compliance with German Generally Accepted Standards for Financial Statement 
Audits promulgated by the Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer (IDW). We performed the audit of the consolidated 
financial statements in supplementary compliance with the International Standards on Auditing (ISA). Our 
responsibilities under those requirements, principles and standards are further described in the ‘Auditor’s 
Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements and of the Combined 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 combined management report.

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our 
audit of the consolidated financial statements for the financial year from 1 October 2021 to 30 Septem-
ber 2022. 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.

In the following we present the key audit matters we have determined in the course of our audit:

1     Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Ukraine war and the general price increases on the going concern 

assumption and presentation of related risks

2   Recoverability of goodwill
3   Recoverability of touristic payments on account for hotel services
4   Recoverability of deferred tax assets
5   Specific provisions

Our presentation of these key audit matters has been structured as follows:

A   description (including reference to corresponding information in the consolidated financial statements)
B   auditor’s response

1    Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Ukraine war and the general price increases on the 

going concern assumption and presentation of related risks 

A    The global travel restrictions to contain COVID-19 have had a negative impact on the Group’s earnings 
and liquidity performance from the end of March 2020 and throughout the financial year 2021 / 2022. 
Further uncertainties arise from the changed booking behaviour as a result of the war in Ukraine and the 
general price increases. In the notes to the consolidated financial statements, the Executive Board explains 
that numerous financing measures were successfully implemented in the prior year and in the reporting 
year, including stabilisation measures by the Federal Republic of Germany in the form of a credit facility 
provided by KfW and silent participations by the Economic Stabilisation Fund (ESF) as well as capital 
increases. Based on the funds raised from the financing measures, a positive operating cash flow in the 
reporting year as well as expected operating cash flow, the Executive Board assumes that the preparation 
of  the  consolidated  financial  statements  using  the  going  concern  assumption  is  appropriate  and  that 
there is no material uncertainty at the time of preparation of the consolidated financial statements that 
could cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Executive Board 
does not consider the remaining risk with regard to a change in booking behaviour as jeopardising the 

Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. In its assessment, the Executive Board assumes that the 
booking behaviour in the financial year 2022 / 2023 will largely correspond to the pre-pandemic level. The 
Executive Board assumes that there will be no further long-term closures and lockdowns that could 
affect travel behaviour. Furthermore, the Executive Board does not expect the war in Ukraine to have 
any impact on travel behaviour. Nevertheless, the Executive Board says in the notes to the consolidated 
financial  statements  that  the  aggravated  general  price  increase  may  lead  to  a  clear  reduction  of  the 
budget available for travel services and hence to a decline in customer demand. Another impairment to 
the development of TUI Group could result from a permanent rise of fuel costs and bought-in services. 
In addition, the Executive Board assumes that the financial covenants for credit facilities with banks and 
KfW, which have again been subject to monitoring since September 2022, will be adhered to in the future 
and, on top of that, it will be possible to refinance the credit facilities expiring in the summer of 2024. In 
our view, this is a key audit matter because it strongly depends on the Executive Board’s judgements and 
estimates and is subject to uncertainties.

 The  disclosures  on  the  risks  stated  above  and  their  assessment  are  contained  in  the  ‘Going  Concern 
Reporting under the UK Corporate Governance Code’ section of the notes to the consolidated financial 
statements. Furthermore, we refer to the section ‘Viability Statement’ of the combined management report.

B    As part of our audit, we considered whether the preparation of the consolidated financial statements in 
accordance with the going concern assumption is appropriate and whether a material uncertainty that 
may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern should be disclosed in 
the notes to the consolidated financial statements. In addition, we have audited the notes to the consol-
idated  financial  statements  for  accuracy  and  completeness  concerning  this  matter.  A  focus  was  on 
assessing the plausibility of the Executive Board’s forecasts regarding the Group’s liquidity development 
and compliance with covenants, especially against a backdrop of the developing COVID-19 pandemic and 
general price increases. First of all, we checked the plausibility of the Executive Board’s planning, which 
was approved by the Supervisory Board, and the assumptions contained therein by comparing them with 
general and industry-specific market expectations as well as historical data. In addition, we sensitised the 
planning presented by the Executive Board to find out how much the actual development of revenue, 
earnings and liquidity can deviate from the Executive Board’s expectations until a potential threat to 
TUI Group’s continued existence as a going concern would arise.

 In this process, we were supported by our internal valuation and restructuring specialists. During the 
entire audit process, we regularly discussed the specific financing measures and material plan assumptions 
with representatives of TUI Group. Regarding the financing measures carried out, we inspected the corre-
sponding documents, contracts and agreements, reviewing them critically with regard to their impact on 
the consolidated financial statements. In particular, at the end of our audit, we critically reviewed the 
current short-term liquidity forecast prepared by the Company. In addition, we evaluated the up-to-date 
assumptions underlying the short-term liquidity forecast for plausibility by calling in our specialists.

A    In TUI AG’s consolidated financial statements as at 30 September 2022, goodwill totalling mEUR 2,970.6 
is reported under the item ‘goodwill’ in the statement of financial position. Goodwill is subject to an 
impairment test at least once a year. Valuation is made by means of a valuation model based on the 
discounted cash flow method. Since the outcome of this valuation strongly depends on the estimate of 
future cash inflows by the Executive Board and on the discount rate used, in the light of the uncertainty 
of further impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Ukraine war and the general price development 
there is an increased degree of forecasting uncertainty. Thus, the valuation is subject to significant 
uncertainty. Against this background, we believe that this is a key audit matter.

 The Company’s disclosures on goodwill are provided in Note (12) of the notes to the consolidated financial 
statements.

B    We evaluated the process for performing the impairment test on goodwill, and carried out an assessment 
of the accounting-relevant controls contained therein. Specifically, we satisfied ourselves of the appro-
priateness of the future cash inflows used in the calculation. For this purpose, among other things, we 
compared these figures with the current budgets contained in the three-year plan adopted by the 
Executive Board and approved by the Supervisory Board, and reconciled it with general and industry- 
specific market expectations. Since even relatively small changes in the discount rate can have a material 
effect on the amount of the business value determined in this way, we also focused on examining the 
parameters used to determine the discount rate used, including the weighted average cost of capital, and 
analysed the calculation algorithm. Owing to the material significance of goodwill and the fact that the 
valuation also depends on macroeconomic conditions which are beyond the control of the Company, we 
also assessed the sensitivity analyses prepared by the Company for the cash-generating units with low 
excess cover (carrying amount compared to the realisable amount).

3   Recoverability of touristic payments on account for hotel services

A    Payments on account for hotel services amounting to mEUR 156.1 are recognised under the item ‘touristic 
payments on account’ of the statement of financial position in TUI AG’s consolidated financial statements 
as at 30 September 2022. 

 In our view, this is a key audit matter, as the valuation of this significant item is based to a large extent 
on estimates and assumptions made by the Executive Board.

 The Company’s disclosures on ‘Touristic payments on account’ are provided in Note (18) of the notes to 
the consolidated financial statements.

B    We evaluated the valuation process for touristic payments on account, and carried out an assessment of 
the accounting-relevant controls contained therein. Keeping in mind that there is an increased risk of 
misstatement in financial reporting when using estimated values, and that the valuation decisions of the 
Executive Board have a direct and significant effect on the group result, we have assessed the appropri-
ateness  of  the  values  recognised  by  comparing  them  against  historical  values  and  by  means  of  the 
contractual  bases  presented  to  us.  We  assessed  the  recoverability  of  touristic  payments  on  account 
particularly in the light of persisting partial underutilisation of some hotel capacities despite a positive 
booking trend as well as potential effects of the general price increase on customer demand. We did so 
taking into account, among other things, the repayment schedules agreed with the hoteliers concerned, 
the options for offsetting against future overnight accommodation, framework agreements concluded, 
and potential risks of insolvency affecting individual hotels.

4   Recoverability of deferred tax assets 

A    TUI AG’s consolidated financial statements as at 30 September 2022 report deferred tax assets totalling 
mEUR 222.0 under the statement of financial position item ‘deferred income tax assets’. Recoverability 
of the capitalised deferred taxes is measured by means of forecasts about the future earnings situation. 

 In our view, this is a key audit matter because it strongly depends on estimates and assumptions made 
by the Executive Board and is subject to uncertainties.

 The Company’s disclosures on deferred tax assets are provided in the notes to the consolidated financial 
statements under Note (20) ‘Accounting and measurement policies’.

B    We involved our own tax experts in our audit of tax matters. With their support, we assessed the internal 
processes and controls established for recognising tax issues. We assessed the recoverability of deferred 
tax assets on the basis of internal forecasts on the future taxable income situation of TUI AG and its 
major subsidiaries. In this context, we referred to the planning prepared by the Executive Board, and 
assessed the appropriateness of the planning basis used. Among other things, these were examined in 
the light of general and industry-specific market expectations.

A    TUI AG’s consolidated financial statements as at 30 September 2022 report provisions for maintenances 
of mEUR 827.7 under the statement of financial position item ‘other provisions’. Furthermore, provisions 
for pensions and similar obligations of mEUR 601.3 were recognised as of 30 September 2022. In our 
view, these facts are key audit matters, as the recognition and measurement of these significant items 
are based to a large extent on estimates and assumptions made by the Executive Board. 

 The Company’s disclosures on provisions are provided under the Notes (30) and (31) as well as under the 
disclosures on accounting and measurement methods set out in the notes to the consolidated financial 
statements.

B    We evaluated the process of recognition and measurement applicable to specific provisions, and carried 
out an assessment of the accounting-relevant controls contained therein. In the knowledge that there is 
an increased risk of misstatements in financial reporting with estimated values, and that the valuation 
decisions of the Executive Board have a direct and significant effect on the consolidated profit, we 
assessed the appropriateness of the values recognised by comparing them against historical values and 
by means of the contractual bases presented to us. 

Among other things, we

•  assessed the computation of the expected maintenance costs for aircrafts. This was done on the basis of 
group-wide maintenance contracts, price increases expected on the basis of external market forecasts 
and the discount rates applied, supported by our own analyses;

•  assessed  the  appropriateness  of  the  valuation  parameters  used  to  calculate  the  pension  provisions. 
Among other things, we did so by comparing them against market data and taking into account the exper-
tise of our internal pension valuation experts.

Other Information

The Executive Board and / or the Supervisory Board are responsible for the other information. The other 
information comprises

•  the report of the Supervisory Board,
•  the report of the audit committee,
•  the remuneration report,
•  the unaudited content of the combined management report specified in the appendix to the auditor’s 

report, 

•  the executive directors’ confirmation regarding the consolidated financial statements and the combined 
management report pursuant to Section 297 (2) sentence 4 and Section 315 (1) sentence 5 HGB, and

•  all other parts of the annual report, 

•  but not the consolidated financial statements, not the audited content of the combined management 

report and not our auditor’s report thereon.

The Supervisory Board is responsible for the report of the Supervisory Board and for the report of the 
audit committee. The Executive Board and the Supervisory Board are responsible for the statement pursuant 
to Section 161 German Stock Corporation Act (AktG) on the German Corporate Governance Code, which 
forms part of the corporate governance statement included in the section ‘Corporate Governance Report’ 
set out in the combined management report. Otherwise the Executive Board is responsible for the other 
information.

Our audit opinions on the consolidated financial statements and on the combined 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.

In connection with our audit, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing 
so, to consider whether the other information

•  is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements, with the audited content of the 

combined management report or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or

•  otherwise appears to be materially misstated. 

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other 
information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. 

Responsibilities of the Executive Board and the Supervisory Board for the  
Consolidated Financial Statements and the Combined Management Report

The Executive Board is responsible for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements that comply, 
in all material respects, with IFRS as adopted by the EU and the additional requirements of German commercial 
law pursuant to Section 315e (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 perform-
ance of the Group. In addition, the Executive Board is responsible for such internal control as it has deter-
mined 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  Board  is  responsible  for  assessing  the 
Group’s  ability  to  continue  as  a  going  concern.  It  also  has  the  responsibility  for  disclosing,  as  applicable, 
matters  related  to  going  concern.  In  addition,  it  is  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 Board is responsible for the preparation of the combined 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 addition, the Executive Board is responsible 
for such arrangements and measures (systems) as it has considered necessary to enable the preparation of 
a combined 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 combined management report.

The Supervisory Board is responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process for the prepa-
ration of the consolidated financial statements and of the combined management report.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements  
and of the Combined 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 combined 
management report as a whole provides an appropriate 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 consoli-
dated financial statements and on the combined management report.

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accord-
ance with Section 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) and in 
supplementary compliance with the ISA 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 combined management report.

We exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

•  identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements and of the 
combined 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, misrep-
resentations, or the override of internal controls.

•  obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit of the consolidated financial statements 
and of arrangements and measures relevant to the audit of the combined 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 Board and the reasonableness 

of estimates made by the Executive Board and related disclosures.

•  conclude on the appropriateness of the Executive Board’s 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 combined 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 condi-
tions 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 IFRS as adopted by 
the EU and with the additional requirements of German commercial law pursuant to Section 315e (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 
combined 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 combined 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 Board in the com-
bined management report. On the basis of sufficient appropriate audit evidence we evaluate, in particular, 
the significant assumptions used by the Executive Board 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.

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.

Our objective is to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the ESEF documents are free from material 
intentional  or  unintentional  non-compliance  with  the  requirements  of  Section  328  (1)  HGB.  We  exercise 
professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

We have performed a limited assurance engagement on the consolidated non-financial statement of TUI AG, 
Hannover, (hereinafter referred to as “the Company”) included in the Group Management Report, which is 
combined with the Management Report, for the fiscal year from October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2022 
(hereinafter referred to as “non-financial reporting”). Not in scope of this engagement were the TCFD- 
Statement and other websites that were in the group non-financial statement.

Responsibilities of the Executive Directors

The executive directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the non-financial reporting 
in accordance with §§ 315c in conjunction with 289c to 289e German Commercial Code (HGB) and Article 8 
of Regulation (EU) 2020 / 852 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 June 2020 on the estab-
lishment  of  a  framework  to  facilitate  sustainable  investment,  and  amending  Regulation  (EU)  2019 / 2088 
(hereafter referred to as “EU Taxonomy Regulation”) and the delegated acts adopted thereon, as well as with 
their own interpretation of the wording and terminology contained in the EU Taxonomy Regulation and the 
delegated  acts  adopted  thereon,  as  is  presented  in  section  “Disclosure  according  to  line  EU  Taxonomy 
Regulation (EU) 2020 / 852” in the non-financial reporting.

These responsibilities of the executive directors include the selection and application of appropriate methods 
regarding  non-financial  reporting  and  the  use  of  assumptions  and  estimates  for  individual  non-financial 
disclosures which are reasonable under the given circumstances. In addition, the executive directors are 
responsible  for  internal  controls  they  have  determined  necessary  to  enable  the  preparation  of  the  non- 
financial reporting that is free from – intentional or unintentional – material misstatement due to fraudulent 
behavior (accounting manipulation or misappropriation of assets) or error.

Some of the wording and terminology  contained in the  EU Taxonomy Regulation and the delegated acts 
adopted thereon are still subject to considerable interpretation uncertainty and have not yet been officially 
clarified. Therefore, the executive directors have laid down their own interpretation of the  EU Taxonomy 
Regulation and of the delegated acts adopted thereon in section “Disclosure according to line EU Taxonomy 
Regulation (2020 / 852)” of the non-financial reporting. They are responsible for the selection and reasona-
bleness of this interpretation. As there is the inherent risk that indefinite legal concepts may allow for various 
interpretations, evaluating the legal conformity is prone to uncertainty.

The accuracy and completeness of environmental data in the non-financial reporting is thus subject to inherent 
limitations resulting from the way how the data was collected and calculated and from assumptions made.

Independence and Quality Assurance of the Firm

We have complied with the German professional regulations on independence and other professional rules 
of conduct.

Our auditing firm applies the national statutory rules and professional announcements – particularly of the 
“Professional  Charter  for  German  Public  Auditors  and  German  Sworn  Auditors”  and  of  the  IDW  Quality 
Assurance Standard “Quality Assurance Requirements in Audit Practices” (IDW QS 1) promulgated by the 
Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer (IDW) and does therefore maintain a comprehensive quality assurance system 
comprising documented regulations and measures in respect of compliance with professional rules of 
conduct, professional standards, as well as relevant statutory and other legal requirements.

Responsibilities of the Auditor

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion opinion on the non-financial reporting based on our work 
performed within our limited assurance engagement.

We  conducted  our  work  in  accordance  with  the  International  Standard  on  Assurance  Engagements 3000 
(Revised) “Assurance Engagements Other than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information” (ISAE 
3000 (Revised)), adopted by the  IAASB. This Standard requires that we plan and perform the assurance 
engagement so that we can conclude with limited assurance whether matters have come to our attention 
to cause us to believe that the non-financial reporting of the Company, except the included link to the 
TCFD- statement and Websites) has not been 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 adopted thereon, 
as well as with the interpretation by the executive directors presented in section “Disclosure according to 
line EU Taxonomy Regulation (EU) 2020 / 852” of the non-financial reporting.

As the EU Taxonomy Regulation and the delegated acts adopted thereon contain indefinite legal concepts, 
it is necessary that the executive directors make an interpretation. The executive directors’ assessment of 
their interpretation’s legal conformity is subject to uncertainties, which, in this respect, is also true for our 
assurance engagement.

Auditor’s Conclusion

Based on the work performed and the evidence obtained, nothing has come to our attention that causes us 
to believe that the non-financial reporting of the company for the period from October 1, 2021 to September 
30, 2022 has not been prepared, in material respects, in accordance with Secs. 315c in conjunction with 289c 
to 289e HGB and the EU Taxonomy Regulation and the delegated acts adopted thereon, as well as with the 
interpretation by the executive directors presented in section “Disclosure according to line EU Taxonomy 
Regulation (EU) 2020 / 852” of the non-financial reporting. Our conclusion does not encompass the TCFD- 
Statement and websites mentioned in the non-financial reporting.

The procedures performed in a limited assurance engagement are less in extent than in a reasonable assurance 
engagement; consequently, the level of assurance obtained in a limited assurance engagement is substantially 
lower  than  the  assurance  that  would  have  been  obtained  had  a  reasonable  assurance  engagement  been 
performed. The choice of assurance work is subject to the auditor’s professional judgment.

Restriction of Use and Liability

Within the scope of our limited assurance engagement, which we performed during the months from October 
to December 2022, we performed, among others, the following procedures and other work:

•  Gaining an understanding of the structure of the sustainability organization, and of the involvement of 

stakeholders

•  Inquiries of the executive directors and relevant personnel who have been involved in the preparation of 
the non-financial reporting, about the preparation process, about the internal control systems relating to 
this process, as well as about disclosures in the non-financial reporting

•  Identification of probable risks of material misstatements in the non-financial reporting
•  Analytical evaluation of selected disclosures in the non-financial reporting
•  Cross  validation  of  the  selected  disclosures  and  the  corresponding  data  in  the  consolidated  financial 

statements as well as in the group management report 

•  Assessment of the presentation of the disclosures
•  Evaluation of the process to identify taxonomy-eligible economic activities and the corresponding disclosures 

in the non-financial reporting 

We  issue  this  report  as  stipulated  in  the  engagement  letter  agreed  with  TUI  AG  (including  the  “General 
Engagement Terms for Wirtschaftsprüfer and Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaften (German Public Auditors 
and Public Audit Firms)“ of January 1, 2017 of the Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer in Deutschland e.V.). We 
draw attention to the fact that the assurance engagement was performed for the purposes of TUI AG and 
the report is only intended to inform TUI AG about the findings of the assurance engagement. Therefore, it 
may not be suitable for any purpose other than the above. 

We are liable solely to the Company. However, we do not accept or assume liability to third parties. Our 
conclusion was not modified in this respect.

Forward-Looking 
Statements

The annual report, in particular the report on expected developments included in the management report, 
includes various forecasts and expectations as well as statements relating to the future development of the 
TUI Group and TUI AG. These statements are based on assumptions and estimates and may entail known 
and unknown risks and uncertainties. Actual development and results as well as the financial and asset 
situation may therefore differ substantially from the expectations and assumptions made. This may be due 
to market fluctuations, the development of world market prices for commodities, of financial markets and 
exchange rates, amendments to national and international legislation and provision or fundamental changes 
in the economic and political environment. TUI does not intend to and does not undertake an obligation 
to  update  or  revise  any  forward-looking  statements  to  adapt  them  to  events  or  developments  after  the 
publication of this annual report.
