Aeroflot announces 1Q 2020 IFRS financial results
Key financial highlights for 1Q 2020:
• Revenue decreased by 10.2% year-on-year to RUB
123,894 million;
• EBITDA amounted to RUB 13,054 million;
• The net loss totaled RUB 22,484 million;
• The net loss adjusted for non-cash FX-related revaluation
of lease liabilities accounted for in P&L amounted to RUB
15,774 million.
Executive Commentary
PJSC Aeroflot Deputy CEO for Commerce and Finance,
said,“Positive trends from 2019, including an increase in
yields and a reduction in operating costs, continued into
early 2020 and should have led to an improvement in
profitability and financial results in the reporting period.
However, the unprecedented impact of the corona virus led
to an almost complete shutdown of international flights, as
well as a significant decrease in passenger traffic on
domestic routes, which offset the positive dynamics of the
beginning of the year and significantly worsened the
financial result in March.”

CP completes acquisition of Central Maine & Quebec Railway, expanding
reach and optionality
Canadian Pacific completed its previously announced acquisition of the Central Maine
& Quebec Railway US Inc.. Together with the earlier acquisition of Central Maine &
Quebec Railway Canada Inc., this completes CP's purchase of the entire CMQ network,
which was first announced in November 2019. CMQ US and CMQ Canada will
continue to operate in the U.S. and in Canada respectively as subsidiaries of CP. CMQ's
network links CP directly to the Atlantic Ocean port of Searsport, Maine, and to Port
Saint John in New Brunswick through connections with Eastern Maine Railway and
New Brunswick Southern Railway. As a result, CP now has access to a route that is
approximately 200 miles shorter than the competition, getting customer shipments from
the East Coast into Montreal and Toronto faster. CP plans to invest as much as $90
million over the next three years to bring CMQ's rail infrastructure up to Federal
Railroad Administration Class 3 standards. Canadian Pacific is a transcontinental
railway in Canada and the United States with direct links to major ports on the west and
east coasts. CP provides North American customers a competitive rail service with
access to key markets in every corner of the globe. CP is growing with its customers,
offering a suite of freight transportation services, logistics solutions and supply chain
expertise.
"This transaction is a generational business opportunity for CP, said CP's President
and Chief Executive Officer. It enables us to serve customers through a larger
coast-to-coast network across Canada and brings a direct Class 1 freight-rail service
to the State of Maine for the first time in decades. It is with great pride that I formally
welcome CMQ's U.S. employees and customers to the CP family."

Aeroflot launches e-voucher system
4
Solution Description
Aeroflot has launched its e-voucher scheme as an additional tool for ticket returns. Passengers can apply for an e-voucher as
compensation for unused tickets and additional services purchased before 1 May 2020. E-vouchers are issued individually to
each passenger at no cost. To apply for an e-voucher a passenger must provide the number of the unused ticket, names and
surnames of passengers listed in the ticket, and a mobile phone number and email address. Passengers can apply for
e-vouchers until 31 December 2020. E-vouchers are valid for three years and can be redeemed against any number of tickets
and services starting from 1 June 2020 when booking via Aeroflot’s contact centre and from 15 June 2020 on the airline’s
website. E-vouchers can only be used by passengers named on the original unused ticket. E-vouchers can be used to book
tickets for flights under the SU code operated by Aeroflot and its subsidiaries Rossiya and Aurora airlines. If the nominal
value of an e-voucher is less than that of the new ticket, passengers will have to cover the difference. For tickets booked with
Aeroflot Bonus miles, an e-voucher can be redeemed against the total value of taxes and fees. Unused miles will be returned.
Aeroflot is also offering additional benefits to passengers using e-vouchers to book tickets. Passengers holding tickets for
cancelled flights will automatically be given a one-time 15% discount on the cost of a ticket of the same fare for their new
flight. For passengers holding Flex fare class tickets, the one-time discount will be 25%.

Maersk (Denmark) extends cold chain solutions to Pakistan’s citrus exporters for
better customer experience and higher convenience
6
Maersk extends cold chain solutions to Pakistan’s citrus exporters for better customer experience and higher convenience.
Pakistan is a thriving agricultural state wherein agriculture sector contributes more than a quarter of the country’s Gross Domestic
Product. Amongst the large exports from agricultural produce, the exports of citrus fruits alone generate multi-million US Dollar
revenues in a year for Pakistan. Exports of perishable goods like fruits, vegetables, pharmaceuticals, fresh produce amongst
others requires high levels of expertise during its transportation in refrigerated containers. Maersk Pakistan’s efforts to ensure top
standards in these processes have already seen the company gain almost a quarter of the country’s citrus export market share in
the year 2018-19. Moving reefer containers from Pakistan to several parts of the world, Maersk has been highly successful in
delivering fresh citrus to Europe, Far East and Gulf countries and ensuring that the fruits reach their destinations in top quality.
For the citrus export season in 2019-20, Maersk Pakistan worked with Pakistani exporters to understand how to provide further
value in the supply chain. In addition to the ocean leg of transport, Maersk added landside transportation as part of the same
booking, ensuring that the cargo of fruit was picked from the packhouses of the exporters and delivered to container yards near
the port via a single booking and a one-window operation. The customers were no more hassled to deal with multiple vendors and
truckers, and typical worries such as concerns of container shortages, vehicle shortages and the associated rate volatility were all
resolved with Maersk taking on the full responsibility, providing exporter’s peace of mind right from the time of booking.

creative ways. Employees have continued with virtual volunteerism by writing thank you letters, and CSX has donated transportation
support for needed supplies and gifts of gratitude across the country and into the hands of front-line workers in hard-hit cities.

opportunities for their customers through multiple joint offerings powered by Azure and Dynamics 365 that will use data and analytics
solutions to reinvent the most critical aspects of the commerce experience and enable businesses to better compete in today’s
increasingly digital landscape. This new strategic alliance represents a long-term commitment between the companies to fuel
innovation, collaborate on product development and share subject-matter expertise. Today, FedEx networks link more than 99% of the
world’s gross domestic product across 220 countries and territories, and Microsoft Azure is trusted by more than 95% of Fortune 500
companies. By combining the breadth and scale of the FedEx network and the Microsoft cloud, businesses will have an unprecedented
level of control and insight into the global movement of goods. FedEx Surround, the first solution resulting from the FedEx and
Microsoft collaboration, allows any business to enhance visibility into its supply chain by leveraging data to provide near-real-time
analytics into shipment tracking, which will drive more precise logistics and inventory management. While most carriers are reactive to
global logistics dynamics with limited visibility options built into a package’s journey, FedEx Surround will provide near-real-time
insights — down to the granular level of ZIP code, for example — to shine a digital light on the progress and movement of physical

DP World, a leading enabler of global trade, has completed the early stages of integration with TradeLens a blockchain-based digital
container logistics platform, jointly developed by A.P. Moller - Maersk and IBM. The collaboration between DP World and the
TradeLens platform will help accelerate the digitization of global supply chains. DP World aims to connect all its 82 marine and inland
container terminals, as well as feeder companies and logistics divisions with TradeLens. In 2019 DP World’s terminals handled 71.2
million TEU (twenty-foot equivalent units) containers from around 70,000 vessels. TradeLens brings together data from the entire
global supply chain ecosystem including shippers, port operators and shipping lines. It also aims to modernise manual and paper-based
documents, replacing them with blockchain enabled digital solutions. For DP World the data from its integration with TradeLens will
improve operational efficiency with earlier visibility of container flows across multiple carriers. Such visibility includes confirmation
of the transport modality that follows the port stay for each container, which in heavy transhipment or rail ports enable better yard
planning. It will also expand the capabilities of DP World’s digital platforms created to move online the management of logistics. The
DF Alliance, SeaRates, LandRates and AirRates enable shippers to move cargo to and from anywhere at the click of a mouse, across

Maersk (Denmark) Leading Danish companies join forces on an ambitious
sustainable fuel project
21
Maersk, DSV Panalpina, DFDS, SAS and Ørsted have brought together the demand and supply side of sustainable fuels in a unique
partnership with the concrete vision to develop a new ground-breaking hydrogen and e-fuel production facility as soon as 2023. When
fully scaled-up by 2030, the project could deliver more than 250,000 tones of sustainable fuel for busses, trucks, maritime vessels, and
airplanes every year. The production from the fully scaled facility can reduce annual carbon emissions by 850,000 tones. COWI and
BCG act as knowledge partners for the project, and the project is supported by the Municipality of Copenhagen in line with
Copenhagen’s ambitious policies for decarburization. However, the partnership hopes that the project can, over time, act as a catalyst
for similar projects in other parts of Denmark and internationally. If realised as envisaged, the project will be located in the Greater
Copenhagen Area and could supply renewable hydrogen for zero-emission busses tendered by Movia and heavy-duty trucks managed
by DSV Panalpina, renewable methanol for A.P. Moller - Maersk vessels and renewable jet fuel for SAS airplanes and air transport out
of Copenhagen Airports. The project will require a large-scale supply of renewable electricity, which could potentially come from
offshore wind power produced at Rønne Banke off the island of Bornholm.

Ferrovial (Spain) donates €7.22 million out of the “Ferrovial Together COVID-19”
fund for healthcare equipment, research and social assistance
24
Ferrovial has approved a donation of €7.22 million from the “Ferrovial Together COVID-19” fund to institutions working to
combat the pandemic in the social and healthcare dimensions and in research, in Spain, the United Kingdom, the United States,
Chile and Portugal. The health crisis is having a major economic impact, especially on families that were already in a
vulnerable situation. The effect of the pandemic has increased the number of people who are in this position and are
experiencing greater difficulty in meeting basic needs such as food, hygiene products and medicine. Ferrovial has donated close
to €3.165 million to prestigious institutions in this field. They include Caritas, CESAL and World Vision in Spain; the Trussell
Trust in the UK; a number of food banks in the United States; Techo, in Chile; and the Portuguese Red Cross. This aid will
reach around 90,000 people, enabling the distribution of 1,350,000 meals. The company has allocated close to €3.16 million in
the medical field to purchase 800,000 FFP2 masks, 90,000 diagnostic tests, 90 respirators, as well as other medical and
personal protective equipment, which will be donated to Spanish regional governments, including Madrid, Valencia, Castilla-La
Mancha, Andalusia, Catalonia, Cantabria and the Canary Islands. Part of this item will be allocated to other countries where the
company operates, such as the United Kingdom, Chile and Portugal.
