D.Logistics in the Second Quarter: Continuing Positive Trend

Adjusted Sales Growth a Good 12 %

Total sales in the second quarter of 2010 were at € 75.5 million 8.2 % above the same period

in the previous year. If the sales trend is adjusted for the changes to the consolidated group

(sale of D.Logistics Airport Services GmbH), this represents organic growth of 12.4 %.

At € 2.97 million, the operating result (EBITA) in the second quarter was 146.6 % above

the level for the same period in the previous year (€ 1.20 million). All segments thus provided

positive operating results. The second-quarter operating cash flow was € 6.50 million (pre-

vious year: € 4.13 million).

The net profit attributable to the shareholders of D.Logistics AG amounted to € 0.94 mil-

lion, compared to € 0.02 million in the same period in the previous year. Earnings per share

in the second quarter were € 0.021 (previous year: € 0.000).

Annual General Meeting Resolves Change of Name

On June 22, the Annual General Meeting of D.Logistics AG resolved to change the Company’s

name to “Deufol Aktiengesellschaft”. This resolution will be implemented in the second half

of the year. This is in line with our goal of working toward a single brand, so as to provide

the Group with a new external profile and thus support our growth strategy. For this purpose,

we shall bring together all the Group companies under a single brand.

Outlook – Planning Confirmed

D.Logistics AG confirms its planning figures published for fiscal year 2010 in its annual

financial report. These envisage sales in a corridor between € 280 million and € 300 million

and an operating result (EBITA) in excess of € 10 million. However, with regard to the sales

trend the business performance to date means that there is still a possibility of exceeding

the upper limit of the forecast range.

Stock Market Slightly Weaker in Q2 – D.Logistics Share Realizes Marginal Growth

In a market environment for shares whose overall trajectory was marginally downward, the

price of the D.Logistics share remained firm. In the first quarter, the share was in a corridor be-

tween € 1.08 and € 1.39. It reached its highest closing price at € 1.39 on June 3, and marked

its lowest at € 1.13 on April 9. The D.Logistics share closed the second quarter at a price of

€ 1.23. Relative to the end of the first quarter, this corresponds to an increase of 2.1 %.

The sector index of logistics stocks quoted in the Prime Standard suffered a fall of 2.0 % in

the second quarter, while the multiple-sector CDAX – on which D.Logistics is listed – dropped

by 3.1 %.

Economic Outline Conditions

Global Economy: Strong Recovery in the First Half of the Year

According to the summer forecast issued by the Kiel Institute for the World Economy, the

global economy has recovered faster than predicted but the risks surrounding the upturn

have increased in the course of the past few weeks. Following a strong boost in the fourth

quarter of 2009, the first three months of the current year saw further global real gross do-

mestic product growth; measured in terms of purchasing-power parities, in the first quarter

of 2010 this may be presumed to have been around 4.5 % higher than a year previously

where output reached its low point during the global recession. A strong increase in global

output should also be expected for the second quarter, according to the Kiel Institute’s indi-

cator for global economic activity which is based on sentiment indicators for 41 countries.

However, the clear increase in output follows in the aftermath of an economic slump which

is unprecedented in post-war history, so that global output is likely to remain significantly

underutilized.

Recovery Still Sluggish in the Eurozone

According to the Kiel Institute, in the first quarter of 2010 overall economic output in the

Eurozone once again grew only slightly, by an annualized rate of 0.8 %. The fact that any

increase was realized at all is attributable to warehouse investments whose growth contri-

bution amounted to 3.5 percentage points, thus more than making up for the other compo-

nents’ weakness. Private consumption fell slightly – probably as a result of the expiry of

scrappage bonuses in various countries – while gross fixed-capital investments were also

wound down significantly, due in part to the severe winter. The growth contribution pro-

vided by external trade was also markedly negative. While exports increased significantly,

the rise in imports was considerably stronger. The economic trend was more or less uni-

form in the key Eurozone countries.

Continued Recovery in Germany

Germany’s economic recovery continued in the 2009 / 2010 winter period, albeit at a mod-

erate pace. However, growth may be expected to have picked up considerably in the spring.

This is suggested by key early indicators which have realized considerable improvements

over the past few months. At the same time though, the risks associated with the economic

trend have also recently increased. Share prices temporarily came under pressure in con-

nection with the turbulence on the financial markets and several Eurozone countries’ bud-

get problems, while volatility increased on the financial markets. The high level of govern-

ment debt in industrialized nations in general is probably the most significant risk for the

economy and for growth.

Business Trend in the Transport and Logistics Sector

Current business conditions in the transport and logistics sector improved in June 2010 rela-

tive to the previous month, according to the survey results of the SCI logistics barometer.

The proportion of companies judging their business conditions to be “good” rose in monthly

terms from 26 % to 47 %, and the proportion of companies judging their current situation to

be “poor” decreased from 15 % to 6 %.

Results of Operations, Financial and Asset Position

Clear Sales Growth

Total sales in the second quarter of 2010 were at € 75.5 million 8.2 % above the same period

in the previous year. If the sales trend is adjusted for the changes to the consolidated group

(sale of D.Logistics Airport Services GmbH), this represents organic growth of 12.4 %.

In Industrial Goods Packaging, sales were 3.8 % stronger than in the same quarter in the

previous year, while in the Consumer Goods Packaging segment, sales were 19.2 % higher

than in the previous year, not least due to the strong improvement in the USA. In the Ware-

house Logistics segment, sales decreased by 2.6 %, but after adjustment for the airport busi-

ness an increase of 23.4 % resulted.

With a 53.5 % share of Group sales, the proportion accounted for by Germany declined

by 2.6 percentage points on the previous year. This was partly due to the above-mentioned

company sale. The USA’s share of sales rose by 4.7 percentage points to 19.7 %. The pro-

portion of sales elsewhere in Europe fell from 29.0 % to 26.8 %.

In the first six months, at € 146.3 million, sales were 3.8 % higher than in the same

period in the previous year. Adjusted for changes to the consolidated group, this means

organic growth of 7.4 %. Allowing for currency fluctuations, the growth rate also amounts

to approx. 7.4 %.

Strong Improvement in Operating Result

At € 2.97 million, the operating result (EBITA) in the second quarter was 146.6 % above

the level for the same period in the previous year (€ 1.20 million). At € 5.20 million, earn-

ings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) were 47.2 % higher

than in the same quarter in the previous year. The EBITDA margin was 6.9 % (previous

year: 5.1 %). Depreciation of tangible assets and amortization of other intangible assets

decreased from € 2.33 million to € 2.23 million.

The individual segments performed as follows: Industrial Goods Packaging recorded

an EBITA decrease of 24.0 % to € 1.95 million. In Consumer Goods Packaging, EBITA

amounted to € 0.98 million, compared to a loss of € 0.34 million in the previous year. Ware-

house Logistics recorded an operating profit of € 0.66 million (previous year: – € 0.62 mil-

lion). Besides the improved business trend, the end to the losses resulting from the airport

business and the start-up losses in Euskirchen were further positive factors here. The EBITA

loss of D.Logistics AG (Holding) was € 0.65 million (previous year: € 0.39 million). In the

first half of the year, the Group EBITA of € 5.15 million is 85.2 % higher than in the same

period in the previous year (€ 2.78 million).

Financial results decreased on the same quarter in the previous year from – € 0.89 mil-

lion to – € 1.16 million. Financial income declined slightly (– 0.6 to € 0.34 million), finance

costs increased (+ 0.2 to € 1.64 million) and the share of earnings accounted for by associ-

ates was slightly lower (– 0.05 to € 0.14 million).

Earnings before taxes (EBT) in the second quarter amounted to € 1.81 million (previous

year: € 0.30 million) and in the first six months to € 2.97 million (previous year: € 0.91 mil-

lion). After tax expenses (€ 0.76 million), the result for the second quarter is € 1.05 million

(previous year: € 0.10 million).

After deduction of the third-party profit shares (€ 0.11 million), there is a net profit of

€ 0.94 million (previous year: € 0.02 million) attributable to the shareholders of D.Logistics

AG. The cumulative profits for the shareholders of D.Logistics AG as of June 30, 2010

Results of Operations

amounted to € 1.56 million (previous year: € 0.14 million). The earnings per share in the

second quarter were € 0.021 (previous year: € 0.000); in the first half-year, they reached

€ 0.036 (previous year: € 0.003).

Positive Cash Flow Development

The second-quarter net cash provided by operating activities amounted to € 6.50 million and

was thus more than 57 % higher than in the previous year (€ 4.13 million).

The net cash used in investing activities was negative at – € 0.45 million (previous year:

– € 0.54 million). The outflows of funds resulted from the payments made for acquisitions of

assets (– € 0.93 million) and the increase in financial receivables (– € 0.29 million) plus the

purchase of minority interests (– € 0.09 million). Inflows of funds resulted from the disposal of

assets (+ € 0.24 million), interest received (+ € 0.33 million) and dividends (+ € 0.30 million).

The net cash used in financing activities was negative at – € 4.53 million (previous

year: – € 3.24 million). The outflows resulted from the decrease in amounts owed to banks

(– € 2.40 million), interest paid (– € 1.60 million), the decrease in other financial liabilities

(– € 0.42 million) and dividends paid to minority shareholders (– € 0.10 million). Cash in-

creased in quarterly terms by € 1.53 million to € 17.80 million.

Slight Fall in Financial Indebtedness

The financial indebtedness of the D.Logistics Group decreased in the first six months of

the fiscal year by € 1.1 million to € 77.8 million. As cash and financial receivables simul-

taneously increased (+ € 2.8 million), the net financial liabilities fell more significantly, by

€ 3.9 million, from € 47.5 million at the end of the year to € 43.6 million.

Balance Sheet Total Marginally Higher

The balance sheet total as of June 30, 2010 is at € 234.6 million 0.9 % above the level at

the end of the previous year (€ 232.5 million). Of the noncurrent assets, property, plant and

equipment (+ 0.4 to € 51.5 million) and goodwill – which rose due to the increase in the

investment in Alltrans GmbH (+ 0.3 to € 64.8 million) – realized the largest rises in value.

Financial receivables decreased (– 0.9 to € 12.5 million), as did “other receivables and

other assets” (– 0.5 to € 3.5 million) and other intangible assets (– 0.4 to € 3.3 million). The

other noncurrent assets remained largely unchanged. Of the current assets, cash (+ 3.0 to

€ 17.8 million), the “other receivables and other assets” item (+ 2.0 to € 8.0 million) and

inventories (+ 1.2 to € 12.9 million) realized the strongest increases. Financial receivables

(+ 0.8 to € 3.8 million) and tax receivables (+ 0.2 to € 1.8 million) also increased. Trade re-

ceivables significantly declined (– 3.8 to € 40.5 million).

On the liabilities side, the equity (including minority interests) rose in the first six

months of 2010 on balance by € 3.8 million to € 95.5 million. The other recognized income

and expense (+ € 2.2 million) and the profit for the period (+ € 1.6 million) had a positive

effect here. The minority interests also rose slightly (+ 0.1 to € 1.3 million). With a slightly

increased balance sheet total, the equity ratio increased from 39.4 % to 40.7 %. The liabili-

ties decreased on balance by € 1.7 million to € 139.2 million.

Slight Increase in Number of Employees

On June 30, 2010, the D.Logistics Group had 2,724 employees worldwide. This is 19 employ-

ees or 0.7 % more than at the end of last year. The main increases were in Industrial Goods

Packaging (+ 14 employees) but Warehouse Logistics also recorded workforce growth

(+ 6 employees), while Consumer Goods Packaging registered a slight fall in personnel

(– 2 employees).

As of the cut-off date of June 30, 2010, D.Logistics had 1,588 employees in Germany

(March 31, 2010: 1,576) and 1,136 employees elsewhere (March 31, 2010: 1,129).

At € 34.2 million, the consolidated sales for Industrial Goods Packaging in the second

quarter of 2010 exceeded the sales for the same quarter in the previous year by 3.8 %. For

the first six months, at € 68.5 million, sales were slightly lower than in the previous year

(– 1.7 %). This segment is therefore now contributing 46.8 % to Group sales (compared to

49.4 % in the first half of 2009).

The operating result (EBITA) fell in the second quarter in annual terms by 24.0 % to

€ 1.95 million. The cumulative EBITA of € 3.90 million was 23.7 % below the same period in the

previous year. This fall is mainly due to a lack of project business which was successfully handled

in the previous year.

In the Consumer Goods Packaging segment, the consolidated sales in the second quarter

were at € 29.8 million 19.2 % higher than in the same period in the previous year. In the

first six months, sales increased by 15.6 %. This segment is therefore contributing 37.9 %

to Group sales (compared to 34.1 % in the first half of 2009). Adjusted for the exchange

rate change, the sales were 15.3 % above the level for the previous year. The strong result

in the USA – where sales rose by 38.9 % (on a currency-adjusted basis: 38.4 %) – was a

key factor behind this sales trend.

The second-quarter operating result (EBITDA) increased to € 0.98 million (previous

year: – € 0.34 million). In the first six months, the EBITA amounted to € 1.35 million (previ-

ous year: – € 0.57 million). This improvement is mainly due to better results in the USA

and Belgium.

In the Warehouse Logistics segment, in the second quarter at € 11.5 million consolidated

a fall of 4.1 %. This segment is therefore contributing 15.1 % to Group sales (compared to

16.4 % in the first half of 2009). After adjustment for the sold airport business a favorable

increase of 21.1 % resulted.

The operating profit (EBITA) in the second quarter amounted to € 0.66 million,

compared to a loss in the previous year of € 0.62 million. After six months, EBITA were

€ 1.07 million (previous year: – € 1.08 million). Besides the improved business trend, the

end to the losses resulting from the airport business was a further positive factor here.

Results in the first half of 2009 also suffered due to the start-up losses incurred for the

“customization center” in Euskirchen.

007Management ReportResults of Operations, Financial and Asset Position


OutlookGlobal Economic Recovery Slows

According to the Kiel Institute for the World Economy, most early indicators currently indi-

cate continuing strong output growth. In the spring quarter, the global economy is likely to

have realized a further strong upturn. However, for the second half of 2010 and for 2011 in

particular, the economists predict a noticeable slowdown in the global economic trend, es-

pecially due to the winding-down of the economic policy incentives which had encouraged

the upswing. In some countries – not least in several key emerging markets – the early

indicators have already registered significant falls. A key issue is the extent to which the

restrictive influence of financial policy and a gradual tightening of monetary policy and, in

industrialized nations, above all the withdrawal of quantitative stimulus measures will trig-

ger an economic slowdown.

In overall terms, the Kiel Institute predicts a rise in global output which this year, at a

rate of 4.4 %, will roughly match the level seen in the pre-recession boom years, thanks

to the strong trend up to the middle of the year. However, in the coming year, real gross

domestic product growth may be expected to fall to 3.7 %, a rate which will not enable any

further increase in utilization of global capacities.

Eurozone: Declining Economic Trend

In the Eurozone, the economic revival currently underway has been supported by the up-

turn in the global economy. A further factor is catch-up effects in the construction sector

following the weather-related stoppages during the winter period. However, according to

the Kiel Institute, there will be a downturn in output growth in the second half of the year

and in the coming year in particular the pan-European consolidation measures will have

a slowdown effect, so that only a moderate rise in output should be expected in this time

frame. The consequences of the crisis of confidence – which in some cases has led to ef-

forts to find drastic savings in public budgets – are likely to be particularly acute in the

countries situated on the Eurozone’s periphery. Besides the consolidation measures, the

recent turbulences on the financial markets will also have a negative effect on the econ-

omy. The increased current yields on government bonds have impacted on bonds issued

by companies and banks and have temporarily brought about a significant worsening in

financing terms, at least in the peripheral countries. As a result of the financial policy con-

traction, Greece and also Spain and Portugal should experience further significant falls in

output during the forecast period.

In respect of overall economic output in the Eurozone, the economists predict a rise of

roughly one percent both this year and next.

008 Management Report Outlook

Germany: Slowdown in the Pace of Recovery

The economic trend in Germany is currently very strong, and a pronounced increase in over-

all economic output may be assumed for the second quarter. However, a clear slackening of

the pace of recovery should be expected for the remainder of the year. The key factor here

is that global economic growth has likely peaked, so that impulses from outside Germany

will drop off. In particular, the rise in demand elsewhere in the Eurozone will only be very

moderate, since several countries have adopted a clearly restrictive financial policy or sig-

naled their intention to do so.

There should be a significant increase in domestic demand this year in Germany, due in

part to the stimuli provided by financial policy which is still providing the construction in-

dustry with a boost and has granted tax cuts to private households. Moreover, the interest

rate level is extremely low, and long-term interest rates even recorded a further fall in the

period under review, partly due to the turbulences on the financial markets in the Eurozone.

This should buoy demand for housing construction in particular. There will probably only

be a very moderate increase in corporate investments. In the context of a continuing low

level of capacity utilization, no major expansion investments should be expected. Unlike in

the previous year, external trade will once again provide a positive growth contribution.

All in all, for 2010 the Kiel economists predict a 2.1 % increase in real gross domestic

product. In 2011, GDP should rise by just 1.2 %.

No Change in Positive Industry Outlook

The business predictions for the transport and logistics sector remained largely unchanged

Company-Specific Outlook

Risks and Opportunities

The risks and opportunities described in the report on expected developments and the risk

report contained in the Group management report for the 2009 annual financial statements

remain applicable.

Outlook – Planning Confirmed

D.Logistics AG confirms its planning figures published for fiscal year 2010 in its annual fi-

nancial report. These envisage sales in a corridor between € 280 million and € 300 million

and an operating result (EBITA) in excess of € 10 million. However, with regard to the sales

trend the business performance to date means that there is still a possibility of exceeding

the upper limit of the forecast range. Source: SCI Verkehr GmbH

Notes to the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

These consolidated financial statements for the interim report – which have not been audited or verified

by an auditor – describe the business activities of D.Logistics AG and its subsidiaries (the “Group”). The

statements were produced in accordance with IFRS (“International Financial Reporting Standards”).

All IFRSs (IFRSs, IASs, IFRICs, SICs) as adopted by the European Union and effective as of the balance

sheet date were applied.

In principle, the balancing and valuation methods used are those for the last consolidated financial

statements as of the end of the fiscal year. A detailed description of these methods is provided in our

annual report for the year 2009. In addition, IAS 34 “Interim Financial Statements” was applied.

The first-time application of the new standards and interpretations which are mandatory from fiscal year

2010 had no effect on the recognition and measurement of assets and liabilities.

All significant subsidiaries subject to the legal and factual control of D.Logistics AG were included in

the consolidated financial statements.

The consolidated group is as follows:

In accordance with IAS 21, the financial statements of the foreign subsidiaries included in the consolidated

financial statements whose functional currency is not the euro were converted into the Group currency

euro on the balance sheet cut-off date on the basis of the functional currency concept. The conversion was

in accordance with the modified closing rate method.

The exchange rates for the translation of currencies that are not part of the European Monetary Union

changed as follows:

Middle rate as of the balance Average rate of exchangesheet date

Foreign currency per € Jun. 30, 2010 Dec. 31, 2009 6M 2010 6M 2009

With effect as of January 1, 2010, Tailleur & Topp GmbH acquired the outstanding 34.5 % of the shares in

Alltrans Exportverpackung GmbH for a purchase price of € 350 thousand. In the consolidated financial

statements, this produced additional goodwill in the amount of € 281 thousand.

In respect of further comments on the sales, we refer to the segment reporting.

The basic earnings per share are calculated in accordance with IAS 33 as a quotient from the Group result

due to the shareholders of D.Logistics AG and the average number of shares in circulation during the pe-

riod under review. Newly issued shares are to be taken into consideration pro rata temporis for the period

in which they are in circulation.

There was no change in the subscribed capital and in the capital reserves in the first six months of 2010.

In accordance with the resolution passed by the Annual General Meeting on June 22, 2010, the

Company has been authorized to purchase up to 4,377,365 of its own shares in the period from

June 22, 2010 to June 21, 2015; this corresponds to approx. 10 % of the share capital as of June 2010.

The cash flow statement shows the origin and appropriation of the money flows in the first six months of

the fiscal years 2009 and 2010. It is of key significance for an assessment of the financial position of the

D.Logistics Group.

The cash funds shown in the cash flow statement correspond to the balance sheet item “Cash and

cash equivalents”.

The net cash provided by operating activities has been adjusted for changes to the scope of consoli-

dation and in the first six months of 2010 amounted to € 7,845 thousand.

The outflow of funds from investing activities amounted to € 327 thousand and includes interest re-

ceived as well as the cash flows from the acquisition and sale of property, plant and equipment and the

purchase of minority interests.

The outflow of funds from financing activities amounting to € 4,569 thousand mainly reflects the

balance of funds borrowed and repaid under the current operating resources financing, the scheduled

repayments of noncurrent financing liabilities as well as interest paid.

The cash and cash equivalents balance increased by € 2,949 thousand in the first six months.

No dividend was distributed in the first six months of 2010.

There were no significant changes in the contingencies in relation to December 31, 2009.

There were no significant events after the balance sheet date.

The segment reporting is prepared in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 8 (Operating Segments).

For the purpose of corporate management, the business fields of D.Logistics AG are organized in ac-

cordance with its products and services. The D.Logistics Group has the following segments for which

reporting requirements apply.

The Industrial Goods Packaging segment performs specialist logistics activities for manufacturers

of capital and investment goods, such as packaging design, the production of special packaging, export

packaging logistics, long-term packaging and the management of major logistics projects.

The Consumer Goods Packaging segment comprises logistics services for the consumer goods in-

dustry. The activities consolidated under this segment include the design and production of packaging,

primary packaging, secondary packaging (display construction), warehouse planning and management,

distribution logistics, transport coordination, document management and value-added services.

The Warehouse Logistics division comprises logistics services such as warehouse planning and man-

agement, assembling, spare-parts logistics, just-in-time logistics and value-added services.

The holding company covers the Group’s administrative activities and, in addition to Group manage-

ment functions, includes support functions such as key account management and corporate communica-

tions.

The operating result for the business units is separately monitored by the management in order to

make decisions on the allocation of resources and to determine the units’ performance. The segments’

development is mainly measured with reference to the operating result. As the D.Logistics Group has

a decentralized organizational structure, financial expenses and income and income taxes can be allo-

cated to the individual business segments.

The D.Logistics Group mainly operates in Germany, Italy, Belgium, parts of Eastern Europe and the

USA. Accordingly, for the secondary reporting format a distinction between Germany, Rest of Europe

and USA / Rest of the World has been opted for.

The prices charged between the business segments are determined on the basis of standard market

conditions between unrelated parties.
