1) Not fully comparable with the H 1 2018 due to change in disclosure of gross contracts at DB Regional (2018 Integrated Report). If the same disclosure method had been used, the figure for H 1 2018 would have been € 645 million higher.

The revenues from freight and passenger transport services were generated mainly by companies operating in the segments DB Long-Distance, DB Regional and DB Schenker. Revenues from operating infrastructure relate to the segments DB Netze Track and DB Netze Stations. Rental and leasing revenues were recorded mainly in the segment DB Netze Stations, and revenues generated by product sales were mainly generated in the segment DB Netze Energy. Other revenues relate to virtually all segments.
