In this annual report, the management report for Deutsche Lufthansa AG has been combined with the management report for the Lufthansa Group. Deutsche Lufthansa AG and its results comprise the flight operations of Lufthansa Airlines as well as the expenses incurred by the central functions for Corporate Development, Finance and Controlling, Communications, Public Affairs, Human Resources, Legal and Compliance, as well as Data Security, Safety and Procurement. The economic environment for Deutsche Lufthansa AG is essentially the same as for the Group. However, accounting disparities have resulted in a significant difference between the net result for the year of Deutsche Lufthansa AG and the net profit for the period. This is mainly due to the different treatment in accounting terms of fair value changes for retirement benefit-related plan assets and the recognition of unrealised gains in the current financial year. ↗ Macroeconomic situation, Sector developments, Course of business
