Income situation

• Significant improvement in profits driven by the omission of pre-financings for infrastructure maintenance measures and strike effects.
• Profit development remains under pressure – burdened by wage effects and continued weak service quality.
• Countermeasures to improve profits in the short and medium term as part of the S3 restructuring program continued and expanded.
• Revenues and profits significantly below the level from the first half of 2024 due to sale of DB Schenker.
