According to preliminary figures for the first quarter of the 2001 financial year, Lufthansa raised its traffic revenue by 16.1 per cent to EUR 3.0 billion and its overall revenue by 15.1 per cent to EUR 3.6 billion. The cost of materials climbed by 16.1 per cent to EUR 1.7 billion. Increases in staff costs and depreciation involving increment rates of 9.0 per cent and 10.5 per cent respectively held down revenues. The operating result was only EUR 5 million compared with EUR 99 million for the same period in the previous year. Besides additional expenditure due to rising fuel costs the decline in earnings was mainly due to up-front payments for the Group's e-business initiatives.
