Revenues that are directly connected with transport contracts or concessions are either independent of (secured revenues, primarily concession fees) or dependent on the number of passengers (unsecured revenues, primarily revenues from fares).

In the first half of 2021, DB Regional’s order book increased. The additions from transport contracts of about € 11.2 billion were offset by disposals of about € 4.1 billion, mainly as a result of services rendered. In addition, changes in assumptions of about € 0.1 billion have a positive impact.
