herein are based on certain expectations and assumptions at the time of publication of this presentation and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual

results, performance or financial position to differ materially from any future results, performance or financial position expressed or implied in this presentation. Many of

these risks and uncertainties relate to factors that are beyond METRO GROUP’s ability to control or estimate precisely. The risks and uncertainties to which these forward-

looking statements may be subject include (without limitation) future market and economic conditions, the behaviour of other market participants, investments in innovative

sales formats, expansion in online and multichannel sales activities, integration of acquired businesses and achievement of anticipated cost savings and productivity gains,

and the actions of government regulators. Readers are cautioned not to place too much reliance on these forward-looking statements. See also “Risk and Opportunity

Report” on pages 145 - 167 of the METRO GROUP Annual Report 2013/14 for risks as of the date of such Annual Report. METRO GROUP does not undertake any

obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements or to conform them to events or circumstances after the date of this presentation.

All numbers are before special items, unless otherwise stated.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in euros. All amounts are stated in million euros (€ million) unless otherwise indicated. Amounts below €0.5

million are rounded and reported as 0. Since 2012, only the amounts in the income statement, the reconciliation from profit or loss for the period to total comprehensive

income, the balance sheet, the statement of changes in equity and the cash flow statement were rounded to produce the respective totals. In all other tables, the individual

amounts and the totals were rounded separately. This may entail rounding differences.

Due to the sale to Hudson’s Bay Company, Galeria Kaufhof will no longer be shown as a separate segment, but as a discontinued operations. Accordingly,

METRO GROUP's financials have been recalculated to account for the disposal of Galeria Kaufhof and the previous year's figures have been adjusted. The sale is

scheduled to close in September 2015.
