Due to the following changes to segmental reporting, the prior year's reference figures were restated accordingly:

Hotelbeds Group was divested in September 2016. It had been carried as a discontinued operation according to IFRS 5 since Q2 2015 / 16. The Destination Services result had previously been carved out from the segment and is now reported within the Other tourism segment. Moreover, due to the planned disposal of Travelopia - a large part of the Specialist Group segment - Crystal Ski and Thomson Lakes & Mountains were reclassified to Northern Region. The remaining segment has been carried as a discontinued operation since 30 September 2016.

1 In order to explain and evaluate the operating performance by the segments, EBITA adjusted for one-off effects (underlying EBITA) is presented. Underlying EBITA has been adjusted for gains / losses on disposal of investments, restructuring costs according to IAS 37, ancillary acquisition costs and conditional purchase price payments under purchase price allocations and other expenses for and income from one-off items.

2 EBITA comprises earnings before net interest result, income tax and impairment of goodwill excluding losses on container shipping measured at equity and excluding the result from the measurement of interest hedges.

3 Equity divided by balance sheet total in %, variance is given in percentage points.

Good operational performance delivered in Q1

* Turnover up 8.5 %1, with continued growth in our hotel, cruise and concept brands plus the delivery of further merger synergies resulting in a reduction in the seasonal underlying EBITA loss.

* Continuing to deliver our growth strategy, transforming TUI Group as the world's leading integrated tourism business based on own hotel and cruise brands.

* Agreement to sell Travelopia for an agreed enterprise value of £ 325 m (EUR 381 m)2 or 14.4 times 2015 / 16 underlying EBITA.

* Our scale and integrated business model give us a strong competitive advantage, leaving us well placed to continue to deliver our growth strategy, against what continues to be an uncertain geopolitical and macroeconomic backdrop.

* Current trading remains in line with our expectations, with continued growth in revenues and bookings in most Source Markets, further openings planned in our hotel and concept brands and the launch of two cruise ships this Summer.

* Based on our Q1 performance and current trading, we are pleased to reiterate our balanced guidance of at least 10 % growth in underlying EBITA in 2016 / 171.

* Source Markets - 8 % increase in turnover1 and 4 % increase in customers driven by growth in the UK and Benelux as well as the acquisition of Transat's tour operating activities in France. Further progress in increasing direct and online distribution mix.

* As expected the Source Markets' result was impacted by higher than normal levels of sickness in TUIfly in October 2016, as well as the phasing impact of rebrand costs for Nordics and Belgium.

* Hotels & Resorts - strong performance by Riu, which delivered 86 % occupancy in the quarter and 6 % increase in average revenue per bed. Hotel openings in the quarter included Riu Reggae in Jamaica and TUI Blue in Tenerife.

* Cruises - further growth in TUI Cruises following launch of Mein Schiff 5, and increased earnings in Hapag Lloyd Cruises.

* See Segmental Performance section for further detail.

Sale of Travelopia

TUI Group announced on 13 February 2017 that agreement has been reached with KKR to sell Travelopia for an agreed enterprise value of £ 325 m (EUR 381 m)2 or 14.4 times 2015 / 16 underlying EBITA. This marks a further significant step in TUI's strategic development. As outlined in TUI's full year results presentation in December 2016, proceeds will be reinvested in the transformation of TUI Group as the world's leading integrated tourism business, focussed on own hotel and cruise brands, and to further strengthen the balance sheet.

Travelopia was previously part of Specialist Group and comprises a portfolio of more than 50 independently operated, sector leading specialist travel brands. Due to their differing business models and strategic focus, Travelopia has been operated independently from TUI's Tourism business in order to maximise growth and value, and has been treated as discontinued operations in the results of TUI since 30 September 2016.

Current trading

Winter 2016/17

Current trading for Winter (low season for most of our Source Markets and a proportion of our hotels) remains in line with our expectations. We are continuing to grow our own hotel and cruise brands this Winter. In our own hotels we have opened a new 454 room Riu Reggae in Jamaica, one new hotel for TUI Blue in Tenerife and repositioned two hotels as TUI Blue in Austria and Germany. We are also further expanding our unique concepts in third party hotels, with several additions to the Sensimar and Family Life portfolio this Winter, including Lanzarote, Thailand, Mauritius and Cape Verde. In our cruise brands, with the first Winter operations of Mein Schiff 5 (TUI Cruises) and TUI Discovery (UK cruise), we continue to see strong demand.

With 87 % of the programme sold, Source Markets revenue is 8 % ahead of prior year and bookings are up 4 %.

* We are delivering further growth in bookings made via our Source Markets for our core hotel and concept brands.

* UK revenues and bookings remain significantly ahead of prior year, in line with our capacity plans. This includes growth in long haul and cruise, as well as the Canaries, Spain, Cape Verde and Cyprus.

* Nordics bookings reflect lower demand for Turkey and Egypt. Excluding these destinations, bookings are broadly in line with prior year, with higher demand most notably for the Canaries, Spain and Greece. Volumes are also impacted by the timing of the Christmas and Easter holidays.

* Germany revenues are ahead of prior year, with growth in the Canaries, Spain and long haul offsetting lower demand for Turkey and Egypt. We are pleased with booking performance in Germany since our last update, as we continue to increase market share thanks to the increased range of holidays and departure points on offer.

* In Benelux, revenues and bookings are ahead of prior year, driven by growth in the Canaries, Spain and long haul.

As a result of the later timing of Easter this year, we expect approximately EUR 30 m to EUR 35 m phasing impact on the Source Markets' and Hotels and Resorts' Q2 result. This is a normal occurrence where the timing of Easter shifts between quarters. We expect this impact to reverse in Q3.

Summer 2017

At this relatively early stage of the booking cycle, Summer trading remains in line with our expectations. The Source Markets' programme is 35 % sold, in line with prior year, with revenues up 9 % and bookings up 4 %. As anticipated, trading reflects a continued shift away from Turkey (which accounted for around 8 % of Source Market Summer 2016 bookings) to alternative destinations. Thanks to our strong Group and third party hotel supply chain in Spain, Greece, Cape Verde and other destinations, we remain well placed to deal with this. In the UK, where the highest proportion (43 %) of the programme is sold to date, we are continuing to deliver growth, with revenues up 12 % and bookings up 3 %. This is driven by increased sales of our core hotel and concept brands, with destinations in the Western Mediterranean, Canaries, Cyprus, Cape Verde and the Caribbean proving to be particularly popular. In addition, we will launch the cruise ship TUI Discovery 2 for the UK market in May 2017. We will further grow our own hotel brands, including new TUI Blue hotels in Croatia and Italy in our own hotels this Summer, as well as further expansion of our unique tour operator concepts in third party hotels including Sardinia, Italy, Croatia, Spain, Greece and Bulgaria. We will also launch Mein Schiff 6 in June 2017 for TUI Cruises. Sales for this and our other ships continue to progress well.

Outlook

We have delivered a good operational performance in Q1 and current trading remains in line with our expectations. We are continuing to deliver our growth strategy, transforming the business as the world's leading integrated tourism business based on own hotel and cruise brands, with further openings and launches planned for the coming year. We are pleased to have agreed the sale of Travelopia, and we continue to progress our negotiations with Etihad regarding the disposal of TUI fly and resulting creation of a new leisure airline group for the German, Austrian and Swiss markets. Our scale and integrated business model mean that we remain well placed to deliver our growth strategy, against what continues to be an uncertain geopolitical and macroeconomic backdrop. Based on our Q1 performance and current trading, we are therefore pleased to reiterate our balanced guidance of at least 10 % growth in underlying EBITA in 2016 / 17 *.

* UK delivered a good performance including a strong end to Summer 2016, with volumes up + 10 % driven by long haul, cruise (TUI Discovery launch) and continued growth in sales of own hotels and concepts.

* Nordics continue to see a challenging environment impacted by lower demand for Turkey and Egypt. In addition the result includes the phasing impact of rebrand marketing costs.

* Following management changes in Nordics, we continue to focus on driving operational efficiency improvements.

* The rebrand in Nordics is progressing to plan with good levels of unaided TUI brand awareness.

* However, as expected, the result was negatively impacted by high levels of sickness at TUIfly in October, costing around EUR 22 m.

* Further growth in both direct and online distribution: 72 % (up two percentage points) and 55 % (up three percentage points) respectively, aided by the TUI rebrand in Belgium which is progressing to plan with good levels of unaided TUI brand awareness.

* The result reflects the first time inclusion of Transat's seasonal EBITA loss, as well as the phasing impact of rebrand costs in Belgium.

* In addition, the Netherlands result was impacted by night slot restrictions in the quarter and increased claims for denied boarding compensation.

* We are progressing the integration of Transat with our French tour operator and we expect underlying EBITA in France to be broadly break even this year.

* Riu delivered a strong performance, particularly in Spain and Mexico, with 6 % growth in average revenue per bed overall.

* Robinson also delivered a good performance, with 3 % growth in average revenue per bed.

* These performances were offset partly by the adverse impact from lower demand for Turkey and North Africa.

* We are continuing to deliver sector leading occupancy rates (Riu 86 %, overall Hotels & Resorts 72 %) as a result of our presence in year round destinations, strength in distribution in our Source Markets and access to other growth markets such as the US.

* Q1 openings included Riu Reggae in Jamaica and TUI Blue in Tenerife.

Cash flow / Net capex and investments / Net debt

The cash outflow from operating activities decreased by EUR 270.9 m to EUR - 1,139.6 m. This was mainly due to an improvement working capital seasonality following the disposal of Hotelbeds Group in September 2016, and positive exchange rate effects.

Fuel / Foreign exchange

Our strategy of hedging the majority of our jet fuel and currency requirements for future seasons, as detailed below, remains unchanged. This gives us certainty of costs when planning capacity and pricing. The following table shows the percentage of our forecast requirement that is currently hedged for Euros, US Dollars and jet fuel for our Source Markets, which account for over 90 % of our Group currency and fuel exposure.

Alternative performance measures

Key indicators used to manage the TUI Group are EBITA and underlying EBITA. We consider EBITA to be the most suitable performance indicator for explaining the development of the TUI Group's operating performance. EBITA comprises earnings before interest, taxes and goodwill impairments; it does not include the results from container shipping operations nor the results from the measurement of interest hedging instruments.

The table below shows the reconciliation of earnings before income taxes of the continuing operations to underlying EBITA. In Q1 2016 / 17, adjustments (including one-off items and purchase price allocations for continuing operations) totalled EUR 9.2 m down EUR 13.2 m versus the prior year.

Net interest expense decreased as a result of decreased following last year's redemption of the high-yield bond while interest on finance leases increased.
