1) Including DB Schenker. Excluding DB Arriva.
Our forecast was based on DB Group including the discontinued operation DB Schenker. The following deviations occurred on this basis:
- Profit development was weaker than forecast, as negative effects from special events (including strikes)and the weak operating quality had a greater negative impact on performance than expected. In addition, economic impetus was weaker than expected.
- As a result, ROCE and debt coverage were also slightly weaker than expected.
