Overall, the development of the income situation was slightly below our expectations, which we had adjusted slightly in July 2019. Revenue growth was weaker than expected, due, among other things, to the economic downturn, particularly at DB Cargo and DB Schenker. As a result, the operating profit fell short of our expectations. Development of ROCE and
debt coverage was about in line with our expectations.
