Most of the secured order book will be fulfilled within a period of ten years, with percentages declining over a period of time.
The significant decline in the order book for passenger transport contracts in the DB Arriva segment was not offset by the slight increase in the order book in the DB Regional segment. In terms of other contracts, there was a significant increase in the Subsidiaries/Other segment.
Order books of held-for-sale subsidiaries are only taken into account up to their planned date of sale. This particularly affected the five companies in the DB Arriva segment in Sweden as of the balance sheet date.
