Net added value rose by 10.9 % to € 605.3 million in the 2016 financial year. At 48.8 %, the added value ratio was slightly up on the previous year.

It is calculated by taking the production value and deducting all intermediate inputs, depreciation and amortisation. Added value is shared between employees, shareholders, the state (taxes) and lenders. The largest proportion, 74.7 % or € 451.9 million, went to employees.
Production value – intermediate inputs (cost of materials, depreciation and amortisation, and other operating expenses); the value added generated is shared between the HHLA Group’s stakeholders, such as employees, shareholders, lenders and the local community.
