The increase in revenues was broadly supported across all business units. Freight rate development at DB Schenker had a very significant effect. The business units in the Integrated Rail System also recorded higher revenues, which also significantly exceeded the pre-Covid-19 level overall. The main drivers were the recovery in demand at DB Long-Distance, higher concession fees and new transport services at DB Regional, market-related price effects at DB Netze Energy and growth at DB Cargo.
Revenues at DB Arriva increased mainly as a result of Covid-19 recovery effects. The sale of the activities in Sweden and Portugal had a dampening effect.
- Adjustments of special items continued to be insignificant for revenue development. In the previous year, these mainly resulted from revenue discounts in connection with court proceedings in infrastructure (2021 Integrated Report).
- Effects from changes to the scope of consolidation related to DB Schenker (€ +227 million) and DB Netze Track (€ +2 million) in 2022, as well as DB Arriva (€ –171 million) and DB Schenker (€ –151 million) in 2021.
- Effects from exchange rate changes were mainly attributable to DB Schenker (€ +818 million) and had a slight dampening effect on the increase in revenues.

As a result of the recovery, in particular in rail passenger transport, the revenue structure has shifted again somewhat in favor of the Integrated Rail System. DB Schenker share continues to account for almost half of Group revenues, which is significantly above the pre-Covid-19 level.
