1) To guarantee better comparability, the number of employees is converted into full-time employees (FTE). Figures for part-time employees are measured in accordance with their share of the regular annual working time.
2) FTE figures for first half of 2021 and as of June 30, 2021 adjusted due to intragroup reassignment of the FLS business area.

The number of employees in DB Group has increased worldwide as of June 30, 2022. The development in the Integrated Rail System is mainly attributable to the increase in employees at DB Netze Track, primarily in construction project management at DB Netz AG. The increase in the number of employees at DB Cargo resulted from the intragroup reassignment of the FLS business area of DB Schenker. In the Other business unit, the number of employees rose due to an increase in order volume, in particular at DB Vehicle Maintenance and DB E.C.O. At DB Systel, this was due to the expansion of innovative topics and the increased vertical integration of production. At DB Netze Stations, the increase is the result of increased project volumes in the construction sector, in particular as a result of the Performance and Financing Agreement (LuFV) III. DB Regional recorded an increase in em­ployees primarily due to the takeover of Abellio transport ser­­­­­vices. The increase in the number of employees at DB Schenker in air and ocean was due to shipment growth in the previous year and in land transport among other things due to an acquisition in Finland. This contrasts with the development at DB Arriva (impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and reduced order volume). As of June 30, 2022, the share of employees outside Germany was about 35% (as of June 30, 2021: about 35%).
