At € 19.2 million, revenue of the consolidated companies in the first three months was 8.8 % down on the previous year (€ 21.1 million). This was mainly due to a strong decline in revenue in vehicle logistics, which was only partially offset by strong revenue growth of the leasing company for intermodal traffic.

There was a negative operating result (EBIT) of € 0.9 million (previous year: €  0.4 million). Whereas vehicle logistics declined sharply compared to the exceptionally high earnings of the previous year, there was strong year-on-year growth in the earnings contribution of the leasing company.

Driven by bulk cargo handling, at-equity earnings of the Logistics segment rose by € 0.4 million to € 1.1 million (previous year: €  0.7 million).
