1) Figures for first half of 2021 adjusted due to the intragroup reaassignment of the FLS business area.
The increase in revenue was broadly supported across all business units. Freight rate development at DB Schenker had a very significant effect. So, too, the business units in the Integrated Rail System recorded higher revenues, which also exceeded the pre-Covid-19 level overall. The main drivers were the recovery in demand at DB Long-Distance, higher concession fees and new transport services at DB Regional, market-related price effects at DB Netze Energy and growth at DB Cargo.
Revenues at DB Arriva increased slightly, mainly as a result of Covid-19 recovery effects and exchange rate effects. Reduced Government support measures had a dampening effect.
Special items continued to be irrelevant for the revenue development.
Changes in the scope of consolidation and exchange rate changes also had no material impact:
- The effects of changes in the scope of consolidation related to DB Schenker (€ +21 million) and DB Netze Track (€ +2 million).
- The effects of exchange rate changes applied primarily to DB Schenker (€ +429 million) and DB Arriva (€ +29 million).
