Quarterly Financial Report 2010

Overview

Overview

Focus on Solutions and Air + Ocean The Logwin Group has abandoned its business segment Road + Rail and is now focusing on themultifaceted development opportunities in its business segments Solutions and Air + Ocean.

Sales and earnings In its continuing business operations, the Logwin Group generated sales of 320.7 million euros inthe first quarter. This represents an increase of 13.3 % in comparison with last year. Besides thepartially increasing demand for logistics services and slightly more dynamic volume growth, theconsiderable increases in freight rates since the middle of 2009 made a significant contribution togrowth in sales. The operating income (EBIT) amounted to 7.4 million euros compared to 5.0 millioneuros in the same quarter last year.

Cash flowAt 6.8 million euros, the operating cash flow of the continuing business operations of the LogwinGroup showed a positive development at the end of the reporting period. The growth in workingcapital is primarily due to the higher level of business activities compared with the very weak firstquarter last year.

Business segments The business segment Solutions generated sales of 175.1 million euros in the first three months of2010, approximately in line with those last year. Growth in volumes for General Cargo, automotiveand chemicals activities were pleasing compared with last year. Operating result (EBIT) at Solutionsalmost doubled compared with the previous year’s period to 4.4 million euros. As a result, the operating margin increased to 2.5 %.

The business segment Air + Ocean generated sales of 145.5 million euros in the reporting period.This sales growth of 38.0 % was primarily the result of a revival in the markets of the business unitsEurope Middle East and Far East Asia and of steadily increasing freight rates. Operating resultincreased to 4.8 million euros. The operating margin reached 3.3 %.

Especially after devastating natural catastrophes, there is great need for immediate aid. Logwin as a company assumesits social responsibility and is helping people in distress. Logwin and its employees first of all do what they do best:shipping goods.

Social responsibility – Logwin helps

In the first months of 2010 Logwin supported both a large fund-raiser for the distressed people ofHaiti and the voluntary commitment of German pupils and their aid consignment to Tanzania.

Help for Haiti Logwin transported a helicopter and 36 pallets of aid supplies such as baby food,dressing material and other medical to Haiti after the earthquake, free of charge. A leading Germanfundraising organization had asked for support in loading and transporting the aid supplies. Thesmooth transportation into the disaster area was a matter of honour for Logwin. Logwin employeesin Heppenheim also contributed in helping Haiti and conducted a special project for a customer bynonpaid extra work. The donation from these nonpaid hours reached the victims of the earthquakein Haiti too.

Computer for Tanzania 10 computers, 10 laptops, technical accessories, other aid supplies and acomplete photovoltaic solar system for lasting, ecologically friendly electricity to power the PC areon the way from Germany to Tanzania, around 7,000 kilometres away. All of the devices were dona-ted by companies from the German state of Hesse. Students form the Odenwald District VocationalSchool Centre will be taking care of the installation of the equipment themselves. With their initia-tive, the students want to facilitate education of young people in Africa and thus provide them abetter outlook for the future. Logwin supports the involvement of these students and handles thecomplete transportation free of charge.

Abandonment of the business segment Road + Rail

The Logwin Group has sold almost all activities of the business segment Road + Rail in the second half of 2009 and in the first quarter of 2010 as a consequence of therealignment of its business model and the associated significant reduction in its landtransportation activities.

The contracts of sale and transfer with Augustin Network relating to the general cargonetwork operated in Austria by Logwin Road + Rail Austria GmbH and to land transpor-tation activities in Eastern Europe were signed on February 3, 2010. Transaction clo-sing was on March 31, 2010. This quarterly report therefore contains no assets and lia-bilities relating to these parts of the business. The purchase price payments have beenincluded in these statements.

Furthermore, contracts with the JCL Logistics Group relating to the sale of Road + Railactivities in Vorarlberg (Austria), Switzerland, Hungary, France, Italy and Spain weresigned on February 26, 2010. The sale of activities in France, Spain and Italy becameeffective the same day, while the closing for the other activities took place on April 15,2010 after approval by the relevant competition authorities. The assets and liabilities ofthe latter activities are therefore still included in this financial report under discontin -ued business operations.

The tank and silo activities of Logwin Road + Rail Deutschland GmbH were sold toGREIWING logistics for you GmbH with effect from April 1, 2010, as announced byLogwin AG on March 3. The related assets and liabilities are also still included in thecurrent report.

Sales and Earnings Development


Overall economic development A steady recovery in the global economy was noticeable in early2010. The global economic and financial crisis of the years 2008 and 2009, which severely affectedthe Logwin Group's economic development, is gradually being overcome. However, it is clear thatthe recovery in the individual economic regions is happening at different speeds. In the meantimeexports from Asia exceed their volume before the crisis, and the demand for imports in Africa andSouth America are not much below the level before the crisis. On the other hand, overall economiccapacity utilization in the industrial countries continues to be low. The recovery here has not yetstabilized and is to a large extent being sustained by the expansionary economic policies adopted in these countries. A lot of the economic recovery can thus be attributed to emerging markets.

The economic situation in Germany continues to be fragile. Following a clear upturn in productionin the summer of 2009 and a faltering recovery in the winter of 2009/2010, the German economyis once more experiencing a moderate upwards trend. However, since the main markets for Germanexports do not coincide with the current centers of growth in Asia and Latin America, the Germaneconomy cannot take full advantage of the growth in world trade.

There is also a noticeable slight recovery in the logistics and transportation business directly connected with macroeconomic developments. An increase in global imports and exports could beobserved compared with the weak first quarter of 2009. This is reflected for the logistics industry in increased transport volumes across all modes of transportation. It is assumed that volumes in air and sea freight in particular will grow in 2010. International air and sea freight transportation continues to be characterized by a surplus of capacity. The strategy employed so far of restrictingfreight space coupled with growth in international trade led to an additional increase in transportcosts also in the first quarter of 2010.

Logwin Group The Logwin Group made a significant reduction in its land transportation activitiesin 2009 and the first quarter of 2010 and as a result abandoned its business segment Road + Rail.Those Road + Rail activities in Germany that affect major Solutions customers were already trans-ferred to Solutions in the middle of 2009, where they operate under the title of General Cargo. Theactivities that were abandoned or sold and the remaining operations of the relinquished businesssegment Road + Rail are reported as discontinued business operations in accordance with IFRS 5.The continuing business operations comprise the business segments Solutions and Air + Ocean aswell as general expenditures that cannot be attributed directly to the business segments.

In the first three months of 2010 the continuing business operations of the Logwin Group generatedsales of 320.7 million euros in a partially improved market environment. This represented an in creaseover the value for the previous year of 13.3 % (2009: 283.1 million euros). Besides to some extendincreasing customer demand for logistics services and slightly more dynamic volume growth, theconsiderable increase in freight rates since the middle of 2009 made a significant contribution tothis growth in sales. The latter also becomes apparent from closer look on the business segments.While sales at Solutions largely remained at the same level as the previous year, sales growth at Air + Ocean, which is more strongly affected by the level of freight rates, increased over the previousyear at a mid-range, double-digit rate.

As a result of sales, gross profit at 27.1 million euros was slightly above the figure for the previousyear of 26.9 million euros. The decrease in gross margin from 9.5 % to 8.5 % can be attributed tothe less dynamic increase in gross profit compared to sales growth. A principal reason for this,besides the continuing high competitive and cost pressures in the transportation and logisticsindustry reflected in customer demands for price reductions, is that continuing, drastically increased

freight rates could not always be passed on to customers immediately. The Logwin Group has beenable to counteract this development to some degree by continuing to pursue existing measuresaimed at increasing efficiency and initiating new ones in the reporting period. These have made itpossible for the group to slightly lower its own costs of sales despite increasing business volumes.Nevertheless, it is still difficult to reduce long-term, fixed-cost components such as depreciation aswell as rental and leasing obligations. Logwin will continue to attach great importance to identifyingand exploiting additional potential for cost cutting and process optimization also in the event ofsustained economic recovery.

The reduction in operating expenses of 2.6 million euros to 20.4 million euros (2009: 23.0 millioneuros) demonstrates the positive effects of strict cost management on the development of earningsof the Logwin Group. Selling costs decreased by 18.7 % and administrative costs by 7.8 % comparedwith the value for the previous year. The reduction in operating expenses was achieved through alarge number of individual measures taken in the business segments Solutions and Air + Ocean. Ina comparison with the previous year, optimized processes, leaner structures and in particular thereorganization of the business segment Solutions, which was completed at the end of the year, alsocontributed to lowering operating expenses. Depreciation and amortization included in the cost ofsales and operating expenses decreased from 3.6 million euros in the corresponding quarter of theprevious year to 3.4 million euros in the reporting period.

Operating income (EBIT) amounted to 7.4 million euros (2009: 5.0 million euros). This correspondsto an improvement of 49.1 % compared with the value for the previous year. The operating marginincreased accordingly by 0.5 % to 2.3 % in the reporting period (2009: 1.8 %). Despite the slightlylower gross margin and lower other income and expenses of 0.7 million euros (2009: 1.1 millioneuros) it was possible to achieve an improvement in operating income (EBIT) against a backgroundof a challenging market and competitive environment thanks to systematic cost-cutting measuresand realigned sales activities.

At -3.7 million euros, finance expenses were slightly below the level of the corresponding period ofthe previous year (2009: -3.8 million euros). Income tax expenses increased to -1.9 million euroslargely as a result of earnings (2009: -1.2 million euros).

The result of the discontinued business operations amounted to -1.7 million euros (2009: -6.3 millioneuros). This burdened the Logwin Group's net result for the first quarter of 2010, which was at 0.2 million euros (2009: -6.3 million euros).

Solutions With its integrated contract logistics and special network solutions for customers fromindustry and trade, the business segment Solutions achieved sales of 175.1 million euros in the firstthree months of 2010, which was more or less in line with the level of the previous year (2009:178.9 million euros). This figure includes sales of around 37 million euros from General Cargo acti-vities that were allocated to the now abandoned business segment Road + Rail until the middle of2009 (2009: approx. 29 million euros). With an overall stable sales performance, the various areasof the business segment showed uneven developments in the first quarter. General Cargo, auto mo -tive and chemicals activities in particular reported a more dynamic growth in volumes as a result ofimprovements in the economic environment. In contrast, volume growth in the specialist networksof Fashion and Media was more modest at the beginning of the year due to market conditions andthe weather. In the textile retail trade there was an increased focus on selling off stocks of wintergarments as a result of the severe and long winter in the main market of Germany and in individualforeign markets, leading to a delayed start of the spring season. Furthermore, developments in theGerman print market remained sluggish. All press categories again suffered falls in total circulationsold compared to the same quarter of the previous year.

The business segment Solutions succeeded in almost doubling its operating result (EBIT) in thereporting period to 4.4 million euros compared with the same period of the previous year (2009:2.2 million euros). As a result, the operating margin increased from 1.2 % in the previous yearperiod to 2.5 % in the first quarter of 2010. Besides realizing an accounting profit from the sale ofan Austrian location, the increased result can mainly be attributed to the positive effects on profita-bility arising from the systematic implementation of cost-cutting measures and process optimizationcarried out in the course of reorganizing the business segment. This was able to more than offsetthe negative effects of the continuing price-related pressure on margins and the sluggish growth involumes in some areas, in particular in the specialist networks.

Air + Ocean As an interface between the global growth markets and the Logwin Group’s core mar-kets in Europe, the business segment Air + Ocean provides its customers with intercontinental airand sea freight transportation. The business segment generated sales of 145.5 million euros in thereporting period (2009: 105.5 million euros). Growing customer demand due to greater economicactivity in the markets and the resultant increase in air and sea freight volumes particularly in thebusiness units Europe Middle East and Far East Asia coupled with the continued rise in freight ratessince the middle of 2009 led to a growth in sales of 38.0 % compared with the previous year.

Operating result (EBIT) in the first three months 2010 amounted to 4.8 million euros, which repre-sents an increase in earnings of more than 20.6 % (2009: 4.0 million euros).The operating margindecreased to 3.3 % in the reporting period (2009: 3.8 %). Invoicing of increases in freight rates pro-ved to be a particular challenge in the first quarter 2010. In the face of an extraordinarily difficultmarket environment, improved operating result once more underlines the successful positioning ofthe business segment Air + Ocean in the market and with its customers. This confirms the strategyof systematic network expansion of the air and sea freight business and of intensifying customerrelations. Increased earnings resulted from volume growth principally at the largest business unitsEurope Middle East and Far East Asia, whereas the performance of the other regions of South EastAsia, Africa and Americas largely remained stable at the same level of the previous year.

Financial Position

Cash flow At 6.8 million euros, the operating cash flow of the continuing business segments ofthe Logwin Group developed positively at the end of the reporting period. The growth in workingcapital is primarily due to the higher volume of business compared with the very weak first quarterof the previous year. However, as a result of the pleasing developments in sales and earnings andalso thanks to a refund of tax prepayments, the previous year’s value f of 4.6 million euros wasexceeded significantly. Investing cash flow of the continuing business operations was at -1.1 millioneuros after the first three months (2009: -2.3 million euros). Last year, payments had to be madefor acquisition projects from previous years.

The separately reported cash flows for the discontinued business operations show the activities ofthe Road + Rail subsidiaries insofar as they were still part of the Logwin Group in the first threemonths of the year. The investing cash flow for the discontinued business operations does yet notinclude all purchase price payments as of the reporting date for reasons relating to the processingof the transactions.

Balance sheet The decrease in total assets by 10.8 million euros is largely the result of the com-pleted sales of the general cargo network in Austria and Austrian land transportation activities toAugustin Network GmbH as well as of activities in France and subsidiaries in Italy and Spain to JCLLogistics. Cash and cash equivalents decreased by 5.1 million euros. There was a slight decline of0.5 million euros in a like-for-like comparison with March 31, 2009.

Due to the increased level of sales in the continuing business operations compared with the fourthquarter of the previous year, trade accounts receivable increased by 27.9 million euros to 161.2 mil-lion euros (Dec. 31, 2009: 133.3 million euros). Trade accounts payable also increased as a resultof higher business volumes to 141.8 million euros (Dec. 31, 2009: 123.3 million euros).

Other Reporting

Annual General Meeting and Extraordinary General Meeting The General Meetings of Logwin AG were held in Luxembourg on April 14, 2010. The individual agenda items can be viewedin the notification to all shareholders on the Logwin website at: www.logwin-logistics.com/investor-relations

Investigations by Austrian Federal Competition Authorities In late February 2010, theAustrian Federal Competition Authorities have filed proceedings against more than 40 Austrianlogistics companies, including three companies of the Logwin Group, with the Vienna HigherRegional Court (Oberlandesgericht), in its function as a cartel court, for alleged breaches ofAustrian and European competition law. The Federal Competition Authorities have requested thatfines be levied in an amount yet to be specified. According to information obtained so far, LogwinAG does not agree with the legal analysis made by the Austrian Federal Competition Authorities.Since it is impossible to make a reliable estimate of the potential financial impact, no provisionhas been made for the current financial report and no contingent liability has been estimated.

Other Reporting | Outlook

Claim for payment of import sales tax Logwin Road + Rail Austria GmbH was served with aclaim from the Austrian customs authorities in April 2010 demanding payment of import sales taxof around 16 million euros in duties for customs clearance that the company had performed withjoint and several liability on behalf of customers in the period between December 2005 and March2006. The exemption from import sales tax granted at that time was now revoked since the consig-nee of the goods was allegedly a participant in a missing trader (carousel) fraud. The Company haslodged an appeal against the claim. Moreover, the Company has an insurer's preliminary confirma-tion of cover. No provision has been made for this in the current financial report and no contingentliability has been estimated.

Outlook

Despite gradual stabilization of the economic situation and the financial markets, business expecta-tions and economic forecasts in the short and medium term remain guarded. The Logwin Groupassumes that there will be a steady development in sales for the continuing business segmentsstarting from the comparatively low level of the business year 2009.

By focusing on the business segments Solution and Air + Ocean the Logwin Group has made itselfleaner and more efficient. This, together with the cost-saving measures that have been initiated,will have a positive effect on its earnings situation. The company controls focused on raising effi-ciency will allow the Logwin Group to profit from the emerging economic recovery.

Consolidated Statement of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity | Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

1 Basis of Accounting

2 Consolidation Scope

As a listed company Logwin AG is required to prepare an interim reporting. These consoli-dated interim financial statements are prepared according to the International FinancialReporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union and are in accordancewith these standards. In particular, the regulations of IAS 34 on interim financialreporting were applied.

The accounting policies as well as disclosures are based on the Consolidated FinancialStatement of Logwin AG as of December 31, 2009.

In addition to Logwin AG as the parent company, the scope of fully consolidated companiesincludes four domestic and 88 foreign companies as of March 31, 2010 (as of December31, 2009: four domestic and 100 foreign companies).

The consolidated entities including Logwin AG have developed as follows:

The disposal of 16 companies was a result of the planned initial consolidation in the course of the sale of the general cargo network in Austria and the Austrian land trans -portation activities to Augustin Network GmbH, and the sale of activities in France as well as subsidiaries in Italy and Spain to JCL Logistics.

Under the equity method four companies were accounted four. Not included are 19 sub -sidiaries either dormant or generating a negligible volume of business. Their influence onthe group’s assets, liabilities, financial position and earnings is immaterial.

Intersegment sales 1,315 1,054 354 –2,723 –

Net sales 178,914 105,498 1,413 –2,723 283,102

Finance expenses, net –3,780

Income (loss) before income taxes* 1,201

The classification of segments is made according to the business segments of the LogwinGroup. The segment structure reflects the current organizational and managementstructure of the Logwin Group. This means that reporting is in line with the requirementsof IFRS 8.

Transactions between the segments are measured at “arm’s length”, similar to transac-tions with third parties. The information about the business segments is reported afterconsolidation of the intersegment transactions. Transactions between the segments havebeen eliminated in the column “Consolidation”.

The result of each segment is measured by management based on operating income.This operating income is defined as EBIT before special items such as impairment onlong-lived assets or goodwill and restructuring costs, as long as they have a relevantimpact on the financial condition and results of operations. As far as possible, the gene-ral administrative expenses of the holding companies have been allocated to the businesssegment sin line with the principle of causality.

For reasons of comparability the previous year’s result of the business segments and hol-ding companies is adjusted in accordance with IFRS 8.

The tables below set forth segment information of the business segments for the periodsended March 31, 2010 and 2009:

Finance expenses, net –3,725

Income (loss) before income taxes* 3,701

* continuing business operations

Assets and liabilities of discontinued business operations as of March 31, 2010 were asfollows:

The change in the balance sheet item results primarily from planned deconsolidation inaccordance with the dates of transfer (so-called closing) contractually determined in therelevant agreements. We would refer you to note 2 "Consolidation scope" concerning thedeconsolidated companies.

In the first three months of 2009 there were no material changes in contingent liabilities inrespect of bank and other guarantees, letters of comfort, assessments and other matters arising in the ordinary course of business.

At the end of February 2010 the Austrian Federal Competition Authorities submitted acase to the Vienna Higher Regional court (Oberlandesgericht) against more than 40Austrian logistics companies, including three companies belonging to the Logwin Group,for alleged infringements of Austrian and European antitrust legislation. The FederalCompetition Authorities have applied for fines to be imposed in an unspecified amount.Since it is impossible to make a reliable estimate of the potential financial impact on theinterim consolidated financial statements, no provision has been made for this and no con-tingent liability could be estimated.

Logwin Road + Rail Austria GmbH was served with a claim from the Austrian customs authorities in April 2010 demanding payment of import sales tax of around 16 million eurosin duties for customs clearance that the company had performed with joint and several liability on behalf of customers in the period between December 2005 and March 2006.The exemption from import sales tax granted at that time was now revoked since the consignee of the goods was allegedly a participant in a missing trader (carousel) fraud. The Company has lodged an appeal against the claim. Moreover, the Company has an insurer's preliminary confirmation of cover. No provision has been made for this in the current financial report and no contingent liability has been estimated.
