Revenues increased mainly as a result of the development of freight rates at DB Schenker. With the exception of DB Netze Stations (renting business declined due to the Covid-19 pandemic), the business units in the Integrated Rail System also recorded increasing revenues. The main drivers were the recovery in demand at DB Cargo, market-related price effects at DB Netze Energy and higher concession fees at DB Regional. Covid-19-related passenger declines in the first quarter of 2021 and the wage dispute with the GDL curbed this development. However, the fact that the first quarter of 2020 was still largely unaffected by Covid-19 should also be taken into account when comparing.

Revenues at DB Arriva increased slightly, mainly as aresult of recovery effects, greater government support measures and exchange rate effects. The cessation of the Rail North (ARN) Franchise (2020 Integrated Report) in 2020 curbed this development.
