Most of the secured order book will be fulfilled within a period of ten years, with percentages declining over time.
The decline in the order book for passenger transport contracts was mainly due to the discontinuation of long-term contracts outside Germany in the Subsidiaries/Other segment, whereas the order book at DB Regional increased slightly. The decline in the order book for logistics and freight transport contracts, which was mainly due to services rendered, was only partially offset by additional order volumes. There was a significant increase in other contracts due to new orders in the Subsidiaries/Other segment.
Claims relating to contractual assets (including claims relating to work in progress from long-term orders) in the amount of € 118 million (as of December 31, 2024: € 90 million; June 30, 2024: € 119 million) were recognized together with other receivables and assets. An amount of € 63 million (as of December 31, 2024: € 45 million; June 30, 2024: € 42 million) was attributable to non-current contractual assets.
