The consolidated companies reported revenue of € 25.9 million in the first half-year, down 12.9 % on the prior-year figure (previous year: € 29.7 million). The vehicle logistics division recorded a significant decline in revenue as a result of falling volumes, while consultancy revenue was only slightly down on the previous year. Additive manufacturing technologies were not included in the previous year’s figures.

The operating result (EBIT) in the first half of the year includes planned start-up losses in new growth areas. Vehicle logistics and consultancy were also down on the previous year. Following a positive result of € 1.7 million in the previous year, the Logistics segment posted a loss of € 2.1 million in the reporting period.

Revenues of those companies included in at-equity earnings decreased significantly in the reporting period. At-equity earnings of € 0.8 million were still positive in the first half-year but well below the prior-year level (previous year: € 2.1 million).
