HIGHLIGHTS
�
Third consecutive year of strong earnings growth, with 12% increase in underlying EBITA1 and 34% increase in underlying EPS1
�
Continuing to transform our business - 56% of our earnings are now delivered from own hotel and cruise brands, with a strong ROIC performance and less seasonal profile
�
Post-merger phase is complete - double digit annual earnings growth with strong cash conversion and strong ROIC performance continues, driven increasingly by market demand and digitalisation benefits, as well as disciplined expansion of own hotel and cruise content
�
Strong cash conversion plus EUR2 billion disposal proceeds enable us to finance growth, pay an attractive dividend and strengthen the balance sheet
�
Trading for future seasons is progressing well overall - our balanced portfolio of markets and destinations and strong competitive position leave us well placed to deliver further growth
�
Expect to deliver at least 10% growth in underlying EBITA in FY181 and extend our previous guidance of at least 10% underlying EBITA CAGR to FY201
�
Our ambition - strong strategic positioning, strong earnings growth and strong cash generation, with underlying EBITA doubling between FY14 and FY20

First quarter results

Q1 Highlights
We have delivered a good start to the year. Q1 turnover increased by 9 %1�to�EUR 3,581 m and underlying�EBITA�improved by�EUR 35 m to - EUR 25 m. Growth was delivered with strong demand for our Holiday Experiences and a good portfolio performance by Sales & Marketing.
We have simplified our segmental reporting. Destination Services�
is a key part of our customers' holiday experience, handling over 24�million transfers each year, and delivering tours and activities for 4.6�million guests. The results of this business were previously�
re��ported in Other Tourism. Given its strategic importance, in particular as we deliver the benefits of our One�CRM�initiative, Destination Services is now reported separately in the segmental results, and within Holiday Experiences (together with Hotels & Resorts and Cruises). Other Tourism and All Other Segments have been combined into one segment. There are no changes to the total numbers.

Holiday company TUI Group said trading had remained in line with expectations despite the hot summer in its main markets and therefore confirmed its guidance for underlying earnings to rise at least 10% this year.

"The number of customers purchasing holidays from us has grown in all major markets, even with the sustained period of hot weather in Northern Europe this Summer," said Chief Executive of TUI Group, Friedrich Joussen.

The company also benefited from the return in demand for Turkey and North Africa and increased demand for Greece, offsetting normalising demand levels in Spain.

It said it had a "strong pipeline" of hotel openings for next year and expected to deliver on its plan to open some 60 additional hotels by the end of the full year 2019. Whilst at an early stage, trading for future seasons was also overall in line with its expectations.

The company will issue its annual report on 13 December.
